Abstract:
Objective To study the anti-proliferation and apoptosis induction effect of cisplatin combined with Astragalus on human laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells.Methods The proliferation inhibition of cisplatin and Astragalus alone or in combination on Laryngeal cancer Hep-2cells was measured by MTT assay.Effects of cisplatin and Astragalus alone or in combination on apoptosis of Hep-2 cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM).Western blot was used to analyze the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins.Results The inhibition ratio of proliferation of Hep-2 cells was (53.83 ± 17.12) % in the astragalus group,(69.12 ± 27.12)% in the cisplatin group,and (84.55 ± 27.84)% in the cisplatin combined with Astragalus group,and was significantly greater than the control group (0%) (t =16.87,16.67,40.90,P <0.01),respectively.The apoptotic ratio of Hep-2 cells was (38.2 ± 13.6)% in the astragalus group,(67.2 ± 17.8)% in the cisplatin group,and (86.4 ± 25.1)%] in the cisplatin combined with Astragalus group,and was significantly greater than control group (17.1 ± 1.3) % (t =8.11,12.77,24.92,P <0.05),respectively.The effect in the combination group is better than the other group (t =11.33,9.37,P < 0.01).The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were changed.Conclusions The tumor-killing effect of cisplatin on laryngeal cancer Hep-2 cells could be enhanced significantly by the combination application of astragalus by the way of regulating the expression of Bcl-2/Bax.
