Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of aspirin(ASA)on radiosensitivity of human glioblastoma multiforme cell line U87,and explore its mechanism.Methods Routine culture of U87cell line was performed; inhibitory effect of different doses of ASA(16,8,4,2,1 and 0.5 mmol/L)on the proliferation of U87 cells and the influence of 1 mmol/L ASA pretreatment on the proliferation of U87cells after single fraction irradiation with 2,4 and 8 Gy 6MV-X ray were detected with CCK-8; the radiation enhancement ratio(RER)of ASA on these 3 different radiation doses were calculated.We chose 1 mmol/L ASA and 8 Gy X-ray for further experiment; the U87 cells were divided into control group,radiation treatment group,ASA treatment group and radiation plus ASA treatment group; the changes of apoptosis rate and the level of NF-κB in each group were detected by flow cytometry(FCM),and the expression of NF-κB was observed by laser scanning confocal microscope.Results As compared with that of control group(not given ASA),the inhibitory effect on proliferation of U87 cells in 1 and 0.5mmol/L ASA treatment groups was not significantly different(P＞0.05).The RER in radiation dose of 2,4and 8 Gy induced by ASA was(0.155±0.008),(0.205±0.017)and(0.392±0.024),respectively; 8 Gy treatment group had a significantly higher RER than 2 and 4 Gy treatment groups(P＜0.05).FCM showed that ASA plus 8 Gy radiation treatment could increase the apoptosis rate of U87 from(7.74％±0.43％)to (12.58％±0.94％),however,it could decrease the level of NF-κB in U87 cells from(96.65％±2.79％)to (77.06％.±2.89％); significant differences between control group and ASA plus radiation treatment group were noted(P＜0.05).Laser scanning confocal microscope showed that the expression of NF-κB mainly appeared in the cytoplasm ad nucleus after irradiation,and its expression could be inhibited by ASA.Conclusion ASA could increase the radiosensitivity of U87 cells by inhibiting the expression of NF-κB to increase the apoptosis of glioma cells.
