Background and aims: Ginsenoside compound K (CK), a saponin metabolite of ginseng, exerts anticancer effects; however, its molecular mechanisms of action in lung cancer remain unclear. We investigated the involvement of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) in the anticancer effects of CK in lung cancer. Methods and Results: CK induced PARP-1 activation-mediated parthanatos via sequestosome-1/p62-mediated SIRT6 degradation and inhibited the proliferation of H460 cells. Although CK reduced procaspase-8 levels, no significant apoptotic cleavage of procaspase-3 or PARP-1 was observed. Furthermore, CK upregulated p27, p21, phospho-p53, and gamma-H2AX levels. CK increased LC3-II levels in a p62-independent manner, but p62 was upregulated by autophagy inhibition, indicating that p62 is involved in CK-induced autophagy. CK-treated cells showed typical features of parthanatos, including PARP-1 hyperactivation, intracellular redistribution of poly ADP-ribose and pro-apoptotic factors, and chromatin fragmentation. SIRT6 was degraded in a CK concentration- and time-dependent manner. SIRT6 protein was upregulated by PARP-1 inhibition, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ supplementation, antioxidants, and p62 knockdown, but was decreased by autophagy blockade. PARP-1 activation was negatively correlated with SIRT6 levels, indicating that SIRT6 and PARP-1 activation play complementary roles in CK-induced growth inhibition. Immunofluorescence staining, fractionation studies, and immunoprecipitation were used to confirm the colocalization and interaction between p62 and SIRT6. Conclusions: PARP-1 activation is promoted by p62-mediated SIRT6 degradation, which plays an important role in CK-induced growth inhibition. Therefore, SIRT6 is a potential biomarker for the chemopreventive effect of CK in lung cancer cells, but further studies on SIRT6 are needed for the clinical application of CK.
