Abstract
- Objective: To observe the anti-proliferation effect of bevacizumab and SN-38 (active metabolite of irinotecan), and investigate the possible mechanisms of these two agents.<br />Methods: Human colon cancer LoVo cells were cultured under hypoxic conditions. Inhibition of cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. The drug modulation on HIF-1alpha, VEGF, ERK and AKT were assessed by the following assays. The mRNA expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF were measured by RT-PCR. The protein expression of HIF-1alpha, ERK and AKT were evaluated by Western blot analysis, and VEGF by ELISA assay.<br />Results: Among different combination schedules, Bevacizumab given after SN-38 show most synergistic anti-proliferation effect. Under hypoxic conditions, the expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF increased as time accumulated, Bevacizumab combined with SN-38 almost completely inhibited the expression of HIF-1alpha and VEGF. Moreover, the MAP kinase pathway was involved in the drug modulation of HIF-1alpha and VEGF.<br />Conclusion: These findings suggest the anti-proliferation effect of bevacizumab and SN-38 was schedule-dependent, and the synergistic effect of Bevacizumab and SN-38 was related to drug modulation of the HIF-1alpha and MAP kinase pathway.
