Abstract:
Objective: To explore the apoptosis mechanism of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma cells(SACC-83) induced by recombinant human tumor necrosis factor α(rhTNF-α) and paclitaxel.
Methods: The SACC-83 cells and primary culture of L929 cells were divided into nine groups of different medicine concentration and exposed for 72h.The inhibition ratio of cell proliferation was detected with
3H-TDR.The percentage of apoptotic cells and cell cycle distribution were detected by the flow cytometer.The cell morphological change of apoptosis was observed.
Results: The inhibition ratio of cell proliferation in associated drugs group was significant higher than that of either single drug group(P<0.05).The inhibition ratio of cell proliferation of every group of L929 cell was significant lower than that of SACC-83 cell(P<0.05).
Conclusion: TNF-α associated with paclitaxel is synergetic to inhibit SACC-83 cells and induce apoptosis.
