Abstract:
Objective To provide more convincing evidences and experimental data for exploring vanillin derivative BVAN08,6-bromine-5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzaldehyde,as a new anticancer drug,and to investigate the effect on the growth,radiosensitization of human glioma cell line U-251 and the relative mechanism.Methods The effect of BVAN08 on cell proliferation of U-251 and radiosensitivity to 60Co γ-rays (irradiation dose rate 2.3 Gy/min) were analyzed with MTT and colony-forming ability assay.Change in cellular morphology was observed by using light microscope.Change in cell cycle and apoptosis was detected with flow cytometry.The autophagy was observed by using TEM (irradiation dose rate is transmission electron microscope).DNA-PKcs protein level was detected through Western blot analysis.Results BVAN08 exhibited a dose- and time-dependent inhibition on the proliferation of U-251 cells during the concentration range of 10-100 mol/L (t = 1.83-3.07,P ＜ 0.05).IC50 at 48 h and 72 h after administration with BVAN08 were 55.3 and 52.7 mol/L,respectively.Obvious G2/M arrest was induced in U-251 cells after 4 h administration with BVAN08,and reached peak at 12 h.The G2/M population reached 63.3% in U-251 cells after 12 h administration of 60 μmol/L BVAN08 and kept increasing with the time,while both apoptosis and autophagic cell death were induced.The most effective radiosensitization time for BVAN08 treatment was 12 h before irradiation.The enhancement ratio of radiosensitivity was 3.14 for 20 μmol/L of BVAN08 12 h before 2 Gy irradiation.Conclusions BVAN08 can nduce apoptosis as well as autophygic cell death of U-251 cells,and sensitize U-251 cells.The mechanism of its radiosensitizing effect might be associated with the induction of G2/M arrest and inhibition of DNA-PKcs expression.BVAN08 seemed to be a romising radiosensitizing anticancer drug.
