2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine (TCDD) was a highly toxic contamination and detected in the environment and food. It can be bio-magnified through food chain and bio-accumulate in human bodies, then cause various adverse health effects. Autophagy was a self-regulating process that degraded proteins and organelles in cells. The disruptions of autophagy balance have been bound up with multiple diseases and metabolic processes. In this paper, we detected the effects of TCDD on autophagy in RAW 264.7 cells and traced the molecular mechanism. The results showed that TCDD dose-dependently inhibited autophagy with the range from 0 to 10nM. Further, we found that this inhibition of autophagy was due to the decrease of p-Akt/Akt and increase of p-mTOR/mTOR expression. In addition, the autophagy inhibition caused by TCDD was resumed by using reversible mTOR inhibitor (rapamycin) and a selective Akt inhibitor (LY294002). This evidence showed that Akt/mTOR signaling pathway plays an important role in the autophagy induced by TCDD in RAW 264.7 cells. Our study confirmed the autophagy injury of TCDD on RAW 264.7 macrophages and the mechanism of TCDD toxicity was supplemented at the molecular level.
