UNASSIGNED: In this in vitro study, AGS and EPG85-257 cells were treated with different concentrations of celastrol, 5-FU, and their combination. Cell proliferation was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The synergistic effect of 5-FU and celastrol was studied using Compusyn software. The DNA content at different phases of the cell cycle and apoptosis rate was measured using flow cytometry.
UNASSIGNED: Co-treatment with low concentrations (10% inhibitory concentration (IC10)) of celastrol and 5-FU significantly reduced IC50 (p < 0.05) so that 48 h after treatment, IC50 was calculated at 3.77 and 6.9 μM for celastrol, 20.7 and 11.6 μM for 5-FU, and 5.03 and 4.57 μM for their combination for AGS and EPG85-257 cells, respectively. The mean percentage of apoptosis for AGS cells treated with celastrol, 5-FU, and their combination was obtained 23.9, 41.2, and 61.9, and for EPG85-257 cells 5.65, 46.9, and 55.7, respectively. In addition, the 5-FU and celastrol-5-FU combination induced cell cycle arrest in the synthesis phase.
UNASSIGNED: Although celastrol could decrease the concentration of 5-fluorouracil that sufficed to suppress gastric cancer cells, additional studies are required to arrive at conclusive evidence on the anticancer effects of celastrol.
■在这项体外研究中,用不同浓度的雷公藤红素处理AGS和EPG85-257细胞,5-FU,和他们的组合。使用3-(4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基)-2,5-二苯基四唑溴化物(MTT)测定法评估细胞增殖。使用Compusyn软件研究了5-FU和雷公藤红素的协同作用。使用流式细胞术测量细胞周期不同阶段的DNA含量和凋亡率。
■与低浓度(10%抑制浓度(IC10))的雷公藤红素和5-FU共同处理显着降低了IC50(p<0.05),因此治疗后48小时,celastrol的IC50计算为3.77和6.9μM,5-FU为20.7和11.6μM,对于AGS和EPG85-257细胞,它们的组合为5.03和4.57μM,分别。用雷公藤红素处理的AGS细胞的平均凋亡百分比,5-FU,并且它们的组合分别获得23.9、41.2和61.9,对于EPG85-257细胞分别获得5.65、46.9和55.7。此外,5-FU和celastrol-5-FU组合在合成阶段诱导细胞周期停滞。
■尽管雷公藤红素可以降低5-氟尿嘧啶的浓度,足以抑制胃癌细胞,需要进一步的研究才能得出关于雷公藤多酚抗癌作用的确凿证据。
