We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity of Metformin, Cisplatin, and Paclitaxel on MFE-319 endometrial carcinoma cell line using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and immunocytochemistry assays. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) doses of three drugs alone and in the dual combinations were applied to the cells. Immunocytochemical method was performed for the cell survival and for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinases (pErk)-1∕2, Akt-1, phosphorylated Akt (pAkt)-1∕2∕3 cell growth markers and angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Immunoreactivities were evaluated using H-score and analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test for statistics. It was found that these drugs caused a decrease in the immunoreactivities of these markers. Particularly, dual combination of Paclitaxel and Cisplatin decreased the immunoreactivities of PI3K, pErk-1∕2, Akt-1, and pAkt-1∕2∕3. Cisplatin and Paclitaxel were more effective than Metformin; on the other hand, Metformin has been shown to enhance the efficacy of these two drugs. In vitro or in vivo further studies are needed to investigate the efficacy of these three drugs via PI3K∕Akt signal pathway.
我们旨在通过 3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四氮唑溴盐(MTT)和免疫细胞化学检测,研究二甲双胍、顺铂和紫杉醇对 MFE-319 子宫内膜癌细胞系的细胞毒性。单独和双组合三种药物的半最大抑制浓度(IC50)剂量应用于细胞。免疫细胞化学方法用于检测细胞存活以及磷酸肌醇 3-激酶(PI3K)、磷酸细胞外调节激酶(pErk)-1∕2、Akt-1、磷酸 Akt(pAkt)-1∕2∕3 细胞生长标记物和血管生成血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)。采用 H 评分法评价免疫反应性,并采用单因素方差分析(ANOVA)进行统计分析。结果发现,这些药物导致这些标记物的免疫反应性下降。特别是紫杉醇和顺铂的双重组合降低了 PI3K、pErk-1∕2、Akt-1 和 pAkt-1∕2∕3 的免疫反应性。顺铂和紫杉醇比二甲双胍更有效;另一方面,二甲双胍已被证明能增强这两种药物的疗效。需要进一步的体内外研究来研究这三种药物通过 PI3K∕Akt 信号通路的疗效。
