ABSTRACT
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can cause condyloma acuminatum (CA), which is characterized by a high incidence and a propensity for recurrence after treatment. Angiogenesis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of CA. Seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) is a newly identified, potent anti-angiogenic factor that directly binds to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) promoter, thereby suppressing its transcription. Emodin is a natural anthraquinone derivative that can promote SerRS expression. This study aimed to investigate the effects of emodin on CA and explore combined treatment strategies. The HPV-infected cell line SiHa was treated with either DMSO, emodin, ALA-PDT or a combination of emodin and ALA-PDT. We observed the effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis and the SerRS-VEGFA pathway. Our findings demonstrated that emodin targets angiogenesis through the SerRS-VEGFA pathway, resulting in the inhibition of SiHa cell proliferation and promotion of apoptosis (p < 0.001). To verify the therapeutic effect of emodin combined with ALA-PDT on HPV-associated tumours in vivo, we established an animal xenograft model by subcutaneously inoculating mice with SiHa cells (n = 4). The results showed that the combination of emodin and ALA-PDT significantly inhibited the expression of VEGFA to inhibit angiogenesis (p < 0.001), thus showing an inhibitory effect on tumour (p < 0.001). Furthermore, we determined that the mechanism underlying the decrease in VEGFA expression after emodin combined with ALA-PDT in CA may be attributed to the promotion of SerRS expression (p < 0.001). The combination of emodin and ALA-PDT holds promise as a novel therapeutic target for CA by targeting neovascularization in condyloma tissues.
