Abstract:
AIM:To study the cisplatin-sensitization effect and mechanism of tripterygium glycosides on cisplatin-resistant human epithelial ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3/DDP).METHODS:The SKOV3/DDP cells in exponential phase of growth were randomly divided into eight groups:blank control group,10 μg/mL DDP group,50 μg/mL GTW group,800 μg/mL GTW group,3 200 μg/mL GTW group,10 μg/mL DDP + 50 μg/mL GTW group,10 μg/mL DDP + 800 μg/mL GTW group and 10 μg/mL DDP + 3 200 μg/mL GTW group.Cell counting kit 8 and flow cytometry and western blot were used to detect the growth inhibiting rate and apoptosis rate and relative expression of GST-π,MDR1,STAT3,p-STAT3 of SKOV3/DDP cells of every group.RESULTS:DDP and GTW produce an additive effect when used concurrently in inhibiting growth of SKOV3/DDP cells.800 μg/mL GTW or 3 200 μg/mL GTW combined with 10 μg/mL DDP can significantly induce apoptosis of SKOV3/DDP cells and downregulate the expression of p-STAT3 (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:GTW can significantly enhance sensitivity of SKOV3/DDP cells to DDP.The underlying mechanism may be related with down-regulating the expression of p-STAT3 in STAT3 pathway.
