This study aims to investigate the apoptotic and anti-angiogenic effect of Zoledronic acid on hormone-refractory prostate cancer cell lines. XTT cell proliferation assay used to assess cytotoxicity. Caspase 3/7 activity and DNA fragmentation were measured to verify apoptosis. Angiogenic cytokine profiles investigated using the human angiogenesis antibody array I. Administration of Zoledronic acid on PC-3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines resulted in increased cytotoxicity and apoptosis with a time- and dose-related manner. Also, the administration of Zoledronic acid significantly reduced several angiogenic cytokine productions in PC-3 and DU-145 cell lines. Zoledronic acid successfully induced apoptosis and reduced various angiogenic cytokine production in hormone-refractory prostate cancer cell lines. Novel treatment protocols may be developed in the future with chemotherapeutic combinations for the treatment of prostate cancer.
本研究旨在探讨唑来膦酸对激素难治性前列腺癌细胞系的凋亡和抗血管生成作用。使用 XTT 细胞增殖测定法评估细胞毒性。通过 Caspase 3/7 活性和 DNA 片段化来验证细胞凋亡。使用人血管生成抗体阵列 I 研究血管生成细胞因子谱。唑来膦酸处理 PC-3 和 DU-145 前列腺癌细胞系导致细胞毒性和凋亡增加,且呈时间和剂量依赖性。此外,唑来膦酸处理还显著降低了 PC-3 和 DU-145 细胞系中几种血管生成细胞因子的产生。唑来膦酸成功诱导了激素难治性前列腺癌细胞系的凋亡,并减少了多种血管生成细胞因子的产生。未来可能会开发新的治疗方案,将化疗药物联合用于治疗前列腺癌。
