Effect of Arsenic Trioxide Combined with Dihydroartemisinin on THP-1 Cells Proliferation and Apoptosis
To investigate the effects of arsenic trioxide combined with dihydroartemisinin on proliferation
cell cycle
and apoptosis of THP-1 cells
and explore the mechanism.
Method
2
The thiazolyl blue (MTT) method was applied to detect the effect of different concentrations of arsenic trioxide
dihydroartemisinin and arsenic trioxide combined with dihydroartemisinin on the proliferation of THP-1 cells. Annexin V/propidium iodide(PI)assay was used to detect the change of THP-1 cell cycle and apoptosis.Western blot was performed to assess the expression of cysteine protease-3(Caspase-3)
cleaved Caspase-3
B-lymphocytoma-2(Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax). The changes of cell morphology were observed under high intension microscope.
Result
2
Compared with blank group
arsenic trioxide and dihydroartemisinin both exhibited obvious antiproliferative effect on the human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 in time-dose dependence (
P
<
0.01). After 48 h
compared with the same dose of arsenic trioxide or that of dihydroartemisinin alone
the inhibition effect of 1 µmol·L
-1
arsenic trioxide combined with 2 µmol·L
-1
dihydroartemisinin on proliferation of THP-1 cells was significantly stronger (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the control group
arsenic trioxide combined with dihydroartemisinin significantly arrested the cells in G
1
phase (
P
<
0.01)
induced the downregulation of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 (
P
<
0.01) and upregulation of cleaved Caspase-3 significantly(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Arsenic trioxide combined with dihydroartemisinin can significantly inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of THP-1 cells. The possible mechanism may be related to arrest the cells in G
1
phase
reduce the expression of Caspase-3 and Bcl-2
increase the expression of cleaved Caspase-3.
