Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the synergistic antitumor effect of sinomenine(SIN)and cisplatin(DDP) against human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells and its possible mechanism.METHODS:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the cytotoxic effect of SIN and DDP in HT-1080 cells,and the combination index(CI)of SIN and DDP was analyzed by Chou-Talalay method.The apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein levels of copper transporter 1(CTR1),gluta-thione S-transferase-π(GST-π),Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot.RESULTS: At 48 h after treatment with SIN or DDP at various concentrations,the cell viability was remarkably reduced(P<0.05), and the IC50values of DDP and SIN were 6.50 μmol/L and 1.06 mmol/L, respectively.When the inhibition rate of HT-1080 cells exceeded 25%, SIN in combination with DDP produced a synergistic effect(CI<1).Combination treatment of SIN with DDP signi-ficantly induced apoptosis of HT-1080 cells.SIN up-regulated the protein levels of CTR1 and Bax,and down-regulated the protein levels of GST-πand Bcl-2(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:SIN synergistic induces apoptosis with DDP in human fi-brosarcoma HT-1080 cells by up-regulating the protein levels of CTR1 and Bax, and down-regulating the protein levels of GST-πand Bcl-2.
