Polyphyllin I (PPI), a bioactive constituent extracted from the rhizomes ofParis polyphylla, is cytotoxic to several cancer types. This study was designed to explore whether PPI prevents non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) growth and to investigate the molecular mechanism. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been implicated in the activation of autophagy in distinct tissues. In cultured human NSCLC cell lines, PPI induces autophagy by activating AMPK and then inhibiting mTOR signaling in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, the activation of autophagy induced by PPI was reversed by the AMPK inhibitor compound C. Computational docking showed that PPI directly interacted with the allosteric drug and metabolite site of AMPK to stabilize its activation. Microscale thermophoresis and Drug Affinity Responsive Targeting Stability (DARTS) assay further confirmed the high affinity between PPI and AMPK.In vivostudies indicated that PPI suppressed the growth of NSCLC and increased the levels of LC3-II and phosphorylated AMPK in tumors isolated from a xenograft model of NSCLC in mice. Moreover, PPI exhibited favorable pharmacokinetics in rats. In summary, PPI conclusively acts as a direct AMPK activator to induce cell autophagy which inhibits the growth of NSCLC cells. In the future, PPI therapy should be applied to treat patients with NSCLC.
