Summary: | Tubeimoside-I (TBM) promotes various cancer cell death by increasing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the specific molecular mechanisms of TBM and its impact on oxaliplatin-mediated anti-CRC activity are not yet fully understood.
To elucidate the therapeutic effect and underlying molecular mechanism of TBM on oxaliplatin-mediated anti-CRC activity.
3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), colony formation, wound healing assays and flow cytometry were conducted to investigate the changes in cell phenotypes and ROS generation. Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were performed to detect the expressions of related mRNA and proteins. Finally, mouse xenograft models demonstrated that synergistic anti-tumor effects of combined treatment with TBM and oxaliplatin.
The synergistic enhancement of the anti-tumor effects of oxaliplatin in colon cancer cells by TBM involved in the regulation of ROS-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, C-jun-amino-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Mechanistically, TBM increased ROS generation in colon cancer cells by inhibiting heat shock protein 60 (HSPD1) expression. Knocking down HSPD1 increased TBM-induced antitumor activity and ROS generation in colon cancer cells. The mouse xenograft tumor models further validated that the combination therapy exhibited stronger anti-tumor effects than monotherapy alone.
Combined therapy with TBM and oxaliplatin might be an effective therapeutic strategy for some CRC patients.
