To investigate the effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) in enhancing the sensitivity of oral cancer cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis.
The oral cancer cell line KB was incubated in the presence of different concentrations (0, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 mmol/L) of 2-DG with or without TRAIL (200 ng/ml). The cell viability was measured using MTT assay and cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry with propidium iodide (PI) staining. KB cells treated with 5 mmol/L 2-DG with or without TRAIL for 0, 6, 16, or 24 h were examined with Western blotting for protein expressions of death receptor 5 (DR5) and caspase-3.
Treatment of the cells with 5 mmol/L 2-DG for 24, 48 and 72 h resulted in a cell viability of 25.25%, 69.06%, and 59.19%, respectively. Combined treatment with 5 mmol/L 2-DG with TRAIL for 24 significantly enhanced the cell apoptotic rate (72.5%) as compared to the rate induced by TRAIL alone (45.3%) and by 2-DG (15.9%) alone. 2-DG treatment markedly up-regulated DR5 and caspase-3 expression and enhanced the inhibitory effect of TRAIL on cell colony formation.
2-DG sensitizes oral cancer cells to TRAIL- induced apoptosis by up-regulating DR5 and caspase-3 expressions.
研究2-脱氧-D-葡萄糖（2-DG）增强口腔癌细胞对肿瘤坏死因子相关凋亡诱导配体（TRAIL）诱导凋亡敏感性的作用。
将口腔癌细胞系KB在不同浓度（0、0.625、1.25、2.5、5和10 mmol/L）的2-DG存在下孵育，同时加入或不加入TRAIL（200 ng/ml）。使用MTT法测定细胞活力，采用碘化丙啶（PI）染色的流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡。用5 mmol/L 2-DG处理KB细胞，加入或不加入TRAIL，分别处理0、6、16或24小时，然后用蛋白质印迹法检测死亡受体5（DR5）和半胱天冬酶-3的蛋白表达。
用5 mmol/L 2-DG处理细胞24、48和72小时后，细胞活力分别为25.25%、69.06%和59.19%。与单独使用TRAIL（45.3%）或2-DG（15.9%）相比，5 mmol/L 2-DG与TRAIL联合处理24小时显著提高了细胞凋亡率（72.5%）。2-DG处理显著上调了DR5和半胱天冬酶-3的表达，并增强了TRAIL对细胞集落形成的抑制作用。
2-DG通过上调DR5和半胱天冬酶-3的表达使口腔癌细胞对TRAIL诱导的凋亡敏感。
