BACKGROUND/AIM: LY2835219 (LY), a novel CDK4/6 inhibitor, prevents cell proliferation through G1 arrest. Docetaxel (DTX) and paclitaxel (PTX) are cytotoxic drugs targeting tubulin-mediated apoptotic cell death via G2/M arrest. We evaluated the antitumor effects of DTX/PTX and LY individually and in combination in lung adenocarcinoma cells with or without KRAS mutations and xenograft mice harboring KRAS mutations.
We investigated in vitro/in vivo changes in signaling molecules and analyzed cell proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis via flow cytometry and western blotting.
LY cytotoxicity was dose-dependent and varied with KRAS mutation status. DTX→LY showed synergistic cytotoxicity regardless of KRAS mutation. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of PTX→LY was significantly greater than that of PTX+LY. DTX→LY remarkably reduced the number of G0/G1 cells and increased the number of G2/M arrested cells, resulting in an increase in apoptosis and subG1 cells.
DTX→LY has synergistic antitumor effect in lung cancer cells and xenograft mice regardless of KRAS mutation.
背景/目的:LY2835219(LY)是一种新型的 CDK4/6 抑制剂,通过 G1 期阻滞来抑制细胞增殖。多西紫杉醇(DTX)和紫杉醇(PTX)是通过 G2/M 期阻滞靶向微管介导的细胞凋亡而发挥细胞毒性的药物。我们评估了 DTX/PTX 和 LY 单独使用以及联合使用对具有或不具有 KRAS 突变的肺腺癌细胞以及携带 KRAS 突变的异种移植小鼠的抗肿瘤作用。
我们通过流式细胞术和 Western blot 分析了体外/体内信号分子的变化,并分析了细胞增殖、周期和凋亡。
LY 的细胞毒性呈剂量依赖性,并随 KRAS 突变状态而变化。无论 KRAS 突变状态如何,DTX→LY 均表现出协同的细胞毒性。此外,PTX→LY 的协同作用明显大于 PTX+LY。DTX→LY 显著减少了 G0/G1 期细胞的数量,并增加了 G2/M 期阻滞细胞的数量,导致细胞凋亡和亚 G1 期细胞增加。
无论 KRAS 突变状态如何,DTX→LY 在肺癌细胞和异种移植小鼠中均具有协同的抗肿瘤作用。
