Abstract Objective: To investigate the effect of quercetin on cell growth and AKT/mTOR pathway expression in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells. Methods: 5-8F cells were treated with different concentrations of quercetin (20, 40 and 60 μmol/L) for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h before MTT assay was performed to detect the cell growth. Quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of AKT and mTOR. A nasopharyngeal carcinoma mouse model was established through subcutaneously inoculated with 5-8F cells in nude mice. The mouse model was randomly divided into the control group and quercetin-treated group. Tumor volume was measured every 7 days. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used for detection of AKT and mTOR protein levels in tissues. Results: 5-8F cells growth was significantly inhibited in the quercetin-treated group (P<0.05), compared with the control group. Quercetin reduced the expression levels of AKT and mTOR in 5-8F cells (P<0.05). In in vivo experiments, the tumor volume in nude mice in the quercetin-treated group was significantly inhibited (P<0.05), and the expression of AKT and mTOR in tumor tissues was also significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Quercetin inhibits cell growth and AKT/mTOR pathway expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells
