Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important pro-angiogenic factor. VEGF was reported to promote the occurrence of autophagy, which enhanced the radioresistance of tumors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of VEGF silencing on the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells and the underlying mechanisms. The radiosensitivity of NPC cells after VEGF silencing was detected by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) and clonogenic assay, while cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The processes of DNA damage, repair and autophagy were examined by immunofluorescence and western blotting. The interaction between VEGF and mTOR was confirmed by western blotting and co-immunoprecipitation studies. The effect of VEGF on radiosensitivity of NPC cells was investigated in vivo using a xenograft model. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry and TUNEL assays were used to verify the relationship between autophagy and radiosensitivity in NPC after VEGF depletion. Downregulation of VEGF significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis of NPC cells after radiotherapy in vitro and in vivo. In addition, VEGF knockdown not only decreased autophagy level, but also delayed the DNA damage repair in NPC cells after irradiation. Mechanistically, silencing VEGF suppressed autophagy through activation of the mTOR pathway. VEGF depletion increased radiosensitivity of NPC cells by suppressing autophagy via activation of the mTOR pathway.
