[Synergistic Antitumor Effect of Amorphigenin Combined with Cisplatin in Human Lung Adenocarcinoma A549/DDP Cells].

: 背景与目的 Amorphigenin是从紫穗槐属植物的种子中分离提取的鱼藤酮类化合物，研究发现amorphigenin对多种肿瘤细胞具有增殖抑制作用。本研究拟探讨amorphigenin对人肺腺癌耐顺铂细胞株A549/DDP的抗肿瘤作用及其可能的分子机制。方法 采用CCK-8法测定A549/DDP细胞的增殖；克隆形成实验测定A549/DDP细胞的克隆形成；流式细胞术检测细胞的凋亡率；Western blot技术检测caspase-3、PARP和LRP蛋白的表达。结果 Amorphigenin可抑制A549/DDP细胞的增殖48 h［半数抑制浓度（half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50）］为（2.19±0.92）μmol/L、抑制克隆形成及诱导细胞凋亡。此外，Amorphigenin与顺铂联合可协同地抑制A549/DDP细胞生长和促进凋亡；降低耐药蛋白LRP蛋白的表达。结论 Amorphigenin可抑制A549/DDP细胞增殖和促进细胞凋亡；amorphigenin可能是通过抑制耐药蛋白LRP蛋白表达，进而与顺铂对A549/DDP细胞产生协同抑制作用。. METHODS: CCK-8 assay was used to measure the proliferation of A549/DDP cells; Colony formation assay was used to measure the colony formation of A549/DDP cells; Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the apoptosis rates; Western blot analysis was used to explore the expression of apoptosis-related proteins (caspase-3 protein, PARP protein) and lung resistance protein (LRP). RESULTS: Our results demonstrated that amorphigenin could inhibit the proliferation of A549/DDP cells with a inhibition concentration of 50% cell growth (IC50) at 48 h of (2.19±0.92) μmol/L. Amorphigenin could inhibit the colony formation ability and induce apoptosis of A549/DDP cells; Furthermore, amorphigenin combined with cisplatin showed synergistic proliferation-inhibitory effect and apoptosis-promoting effect in A549/DDP cells; reduced the expression of LRP of A549/DDP cells. CONCLUSIONS: Amorphigenin remarkably inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis in A549/DDP cells. Combination of amorphigenin with cisplatin had the synergistic inhibitory effect on A549/DDP cells by downregulating the expression of LRP.
