gamma tocopherol and lovastatin additively induced apoptosis in human colorectal carcinoma cell line (ht29)
Authors
abstract
background programmed cell death (apoptosis) is a physiological process needed to remove unwanted or damaged cells. it has been hypothesized that any failure of programmed cell death leads to the development of neoplasm. identifying new agents which induce apoptosis in tumor cells is of great significance in treatment of neoplasms. numerous studies suggest that exposure of tumor cells to statins and gamma tocopherol can lead to cell death. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the cell death induced by gamma tocopherol and lovastatin in human colorectal carcinoma cell line (ht29) using flow cytometry. material and methods ht29 cells were grown in dmem medium, exposed to different concentrations of lovastatin (10,20,40,100μm ) and gamma tocopherol (25,50,100,200μm) for 48 and 72 hours, individually and in combination (100μm both, 48 h). phenotype of apoptosis was determined by means of flow cytometry. results all concentrations of lovastatin (10, 20, 40, 100 μm) and gamma tocopherol (25, 50, 100, 200 μm) induced an apoptotic response in ht29 cells. in combination, a significant increase in apoptosis phenotype was also demonstrated (p < 0.05). conclusions this study showed that lovastatin when combined with gamma tocopherol, could induce apoptosis in ht29 cells more potently than each agent alone, which uncovers the significance of targeting the proliferative signaling in different points of the pathway.

Background and Aim: Colorectal adenocarcinoma is one of the common causes of death due to weak response to common therapies. In this study, the effect of citric acid on bioavailability and apoptosis of the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) was examined. Citric acid is a naturally organic acid that commonly found in citrus and is considered as a physiological inhibitor of enzymes ...

Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate cytotoxicity and membrane toxicity effects induced by Mesobuthus eupeus venom (MEV) on the HT-29 cell line. Materials and Methods: To determine the in vitro cytotoxicity via MTT assays, HT-29 (as cancer cell line) and Hek-293T (as normal cell) were treated through different conce...

Objective(s):The colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) with the CD133+ phenotype are a rare fraction of cancer cells with the ability of self-renewal, unlimited proliferation and resistance to treatment. Quercetin has anticancer effects with the advantage of exhibiting low side effects. Therefore, we evaluated the anticancer effects of quercetin and doxorubicin (Dox) in HT29 cancer cells and its ...

Cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of lactobacillus sakei on human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HT29) and some pathogenic microorganisms
Background: Even after surgery, as the most effective treatment for colorectal cancer, about 30-40% of cases are recurring. Since growth inhibition is an important strategy in cancer treatment, many attempts are in the program to find new agents, so in this study, the cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of Lactobacillus sakei on colon cancer cell line (HT-29) and some pathogenic microorganisms ...
