Tumor heterogeneity results in aggressive cancer phenotypes with acquired resistance. However, combining chemical treatment with adjuvant therapies that cause cellular structure and function perturbations may diminish the ability of cancer cells to resist at chemical treatment and lead to a less aggressive cancer phenotype. Applied treatments on prostate hyperplasia primary cell cultures exerted their antitumor activities through mechanisms including cell cycle blockage, oxidative stress, and cell death induction by flow cytometry methods. A 5.37 mM Chloramphenicol dose acts on prostate hyperplasia cells by increasing the pro-oxidant status, inducing apoptosis, autophagy, and DNA damage, but without ROS changes. Adding 6.30 mM vitamin C or 622 µM vitamin E as a supplement to 859.33 µM Chloramphenicol dose in prostate hyperplasia cells determines a significant increase of ROS level for a part of cells. However, other cells remain refractory to initial ROS, with significant changes in apoptosis, autophagy, and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 or G2/M. When the dose of Chloramphenicol was increased to 5.37 mM for 6.30 mM of vitamin C, prostate hyperplasia cells reacted by ROS level drastically decreased, cell cycle arrest in G2/M, active apoptosis, and autophagy. The pro-oxidant action of 1.51 mM Erythromycin dose in prostate hyperplasia cell cultures induces changes in the apoptosis mechanisms and cell cycle arrest in G0/G1. Addition of 6.30 mM vitamin C to 1.51 mM Erythromycin dose in hyperplasia cell cultures, the pro-oxidant status determines diminished caspase 3/7 mechanism activation, but ROS level presents similar changes as Chloramphenicol dose and cell cycle arrest in G2/M. Flow cytometric analysis of cell death, oxidative stress, and cell cycle are recommended as laboratory techniques in therapeutic and diagnostic fields.
肿瘤异质性导致获得性耐药的侵袭性癌症表型。然而,将化学治疗与引起细胞结构和功能紊乱的辅助治疗相结合,可能会降低癌细胞对化学治疗的耐药能力,导致侵袭性较弱的癌症表型。应用于前列腺增生原代细胞培养的治疗方法通过细胞周期阻滞、氧化应激和流式细胞术方法诱导细胞死亡等机制发挥其抗肿瘤活性。5.37mM 氯霉素剂量通过增加促氧化剂状态、诱导细胞凋亡、自噬和 DNA 损伤,而不改变 ROS 水平,作用于前列腺增生细胞。在前列腺增生细胞中添加 6.30mM 维生素 C 或 622μM 维生素 E 作为 859.33μM 氯霉素剂量的补充,可使部分细胞的 ROS 水平显著升高。然而,其他细胞仍然对初始 ROS 具有抗性,凋亡、自噬和细胞周期停滞在 G0/G1 或 G2/M 阶段发生显著变化。当氯霉素剂量增加到 5.37mM 时,维生素 C 的剂量增加到 6.30mM,前列腺增生细胞的 ROS 水平急剧下降,细胞周期停滞在 G2/M 期,发生活性凋亡和自噬。1.51mM 红霉素剂量在前列腺增生细胞培养物中的促氧化剂作用诱导凋亡机制的变化和 G0/G1 期的细胞周期停滞。在增生细胞培养物中添加 6.30mM 维生素 C 到 1.51mM 红霉素剂量,促氧化剂状态确定降低 caspase 3/7 机制的激活,但 ROS 水平与氯霉素剂量和 G2/M 期的细胞周期停滞相似。细胞死亡、氧化应激和细胞周期的流式细胞术分析被推荐为治疗和诊断领域的实验室技术。
