Objective To investigate the influence of autophagy on the survival and proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Methods Multiple myeloma (MM) cell line U266 cell autophagy was induced by serum-free culture condition, and adding rapamycin or 3-MA respectively. The cells proliferation was observed. U266 cells, lymphoma cell Jurket under normal culture condition, and serum-free cultured Jur-ket cell were used as control group. The proliferation and apoptosis of ceils were determined by CCK8 and flow cytometry, respectively. MDC staining were employed to detect the autophagy. The mRNA expression of mtor and Beclinl gene of U266 cells were assayed by RT-PCR. Protein LC3Ⅰ/ LCⅡ and LAMP1 was analyzed by western blot. Results There was low level of autophagy in U266 cells , sera starvation increased the level of autophagy . Rapamycin upregulated autophagy of the U266 ceils and stimulated their proliferation. But the autuphagy level of sera starvation and rapamycin group declined when culture for 96h. 3-MA had the same effects on U266 cells, although it was on 24 h. But rapamycin and 3-MA could inhibit cell proliferation under normal culture condition. Compared with normal culture condition , apoptosis of U266 ceils increased signifi- cantly after 24h incubation in medium without sera [ ( 1.33±0.09) % and ( 17.90±1.46) %, respectively ] (P 〈 0.01 ). Rapamycin and 3-MA could inhibit the serum-free induced apoptosis [ (6.23±0.12)% and (6.97±0.03 ) %, respectively ] ( P 〈 0.01 ), but cell apoptosis was at the same level after 72 hour incubation [( 30.37±0.27 ) % , ( 30.13±1.93 ) % and ( 28.57±2.83 ) % , respectively ( P 〉 0.05 ). However, apoptosis of 15266 cells decreased to 18.7% and 12.6% after removal of rapamycin and 3-MA. Conclusion There is basical level of autophagy in MM cells which is higher than those in the Jurkat cells. Both Rapamycin and 3-MA can inhibit the cells proliferation under normal culture condition. Up-regulated autophagy promotes
