Some pleiotropic effects of statins on hepatocellular carcinoma cells: Comparative study on atorvastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin
Purpose
For many years, statins have been the most commonly used drugs in cholesterol-lowering therapy. In addition to these therapeutic effects, statins exhibit other, pleiotropic effects that can be beneficial, but also harmful to cells and tissues. The aim of this research was to determine and compare the pleiotropic effects of structurally different statins: atorvastatin, simvastatin and rosuvastatin at different concentrations on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells.
Materials and methods
The MTT assay was used to determine the cytotoxic effects of statins. The influence of statins on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by measuring fluorescent response of 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). The effect of statins on glucose production and excretion was determined with glucose production assay.
Results
The obtained results confirmed that all tested statins exhibit cytotoxic effects, increase the production of ROS as well as the production and excretion of glucose from HepG2 cells. It was observed that all the mentioned effects are more pronounced with lipophilic statins, atorvastatin and simvastatin compared to hydrophilic rosuvastatin.
Conclusion
The less pronounced pleiotropic effects of rosuvastatin on HepG2 cells are probably due to differences in structure and solubility compared to atorvastatin and simvastatin. Transporter-dependent and a slower influx of rosuvastatin into cells compared to the tested lipophilic statins probably lead to a weaker accumulation of rosuvastatin in HepG2 cells, which results in less pronounced pleiotropic effects compared to lipophilic atorvastatin and simvastatin.
