Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of combined treatment of cortex periplocin (CPP) and tumor necro-sis factor related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) on gastric cancer cells and to explore the mechanism. Meth-ods: After routine culture, the gastric cancer cell lines (SGC-7901 and MGC-803) were treated with CPP (at concen-trations of 50,100,200 ng/ml) or TRAIL (1 μg/ml) or in combination of these two. The cell proliferation was detect-ed by MTS, the apoptosis was detected by Flow cytometry, and the expression levels of pro-BID,Mcl-1,cleaved caspase-3,DR4 and DR5 were detected by Western blotting. Results: Compared with the control group and each CPP single treatment group, MTS assay demonstrated that CPP (50,100,200 ng/ml) in combination with TRAIL (1 μg/ml) significantly inhibited the proliferation of gastric cancer SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cell lines (all P<0.05 or P<0.01). Flow cytometry demonstrated that the apoptosis rate of gastric cancer cells in combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group or each CPP single treatment group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Western blotting demonstrated that combined treatment for 24 h significantly decreased the expression of pro-BID and Mcl-1 (P<0.05), but increased the expression levels of cleaved caspase-3,DR4 and DR5(P<0.05). Conclusion: CPP in combination with TRAIL could significantly induce the apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cell lines and increase the susceptibility of cancer cells to TRAIL.
