Abstract: | AIM: To investigate the effect of salinomycin on the proliferation and apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of salinomycin on the growth of A549/DDP cells was tested by MTT method in vitro . The apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) of A549/DDP cells were assayed by flow cytometry. The activity of caspase-3, 8 and 9 was determined by the method of colorimetry. The levels of cytochrome C, Bcl- 2, Bax, β-catenin, and phosphorylated low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6(p-LRP6) were measured by Western blotting. RESULTS: Salinomycin inhibited the growth of A549/DDP cells in a dose-dependent manner. Salinomycin at concentration of 0.2 μmol/L decreased ΔΨm level, and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytochrome C and cytosolic Ca2+ release in the cells. Salinomycin also increased the acti-vity of caspase-3, 8, and 9 in the cells, reduced the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and decreased the levels of β-catenin and p-LRP6. CONCLUSION: Salinomycin depresses the cell growth by inhibiting Wnt signaling, and induces the apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP via mitochondria-dependent and Bcl-2/Bax pathways. |
