In the present study, we demonstrate that SBF-1, a synthetic steroidal glycoside, has a strong antitumor activity against melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo. SBF-1 induced cell cycle arrest with a reduced expression of various cell cycle related proteins in B16BL6 melanoma cells without causing apoptosis. SBF-1 dramatically inhibited kinase activity of 3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) and thus down-regulated phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT). Among three known isoforms of PDK1 only interacted with AKT3 in B16BL6 melanoma cells, and SBF-1 almost completely blocked this interaction. In addition, adhesion to fibronectin and expression of integrin alpha 4 were significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner. Knockdown of AKT3 resulted in the decrease in integrin a4 expression and cell adhesion. Moreover, SBF-1 inhibited the growth of melanoma xenografts and down-regulated the phosphorylation of Ala in vivo. In a mouse model of spontaneous metastasis, SBF-1 at very low doses of 1 and 3 mu g/kg enormously inhibited melanoma metastasis into draining popliteal lymph nodes. Taken together, this study shows a small molecular compound SBF-1 with a very strong anti-melanoma activity both in vitro and in vivo. its mechanism underlying such antitumor effect is related to the blockage of the interaction between PDK1 and AKT3.
