Abstract:
Objective To investigate the synergistic effects of Herceptin and 9-cis-RA on the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of HER2-positive breast cancer cells. Methods MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells were treated with 5 ?g/ml Herceptin or 1 ?mol/L 9-cis-RA or both for 24, 48 or 72 h. The proliferation of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells was determined by MTT, the pro-apoptotic effects were detected by TUNEL, the cell cycle phase was detected by FCM. Results As compared with control group, Herceptin and 9-cis-RA synergistically inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells, and the percentage of G_ 0 /G_ 1 cells increased after treatment with Herceptin and 9-cis-RA for 72 h. Simultaneously, Herceptin and 9-cis-RA synergistically induced the apoptosis of MDA-MB-453 cells. Conclusion Herceptin and 9-cis-RA could synergistically and effectively inhibit MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells by blocking their cell cycle progression and inducing their apoptosis.
