摘要
Aims: To analyze the combined impact of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor RAD001 on prostate cancer cell growth. Main methods: PC-3, DU-145 and LNCaP cells were treated with RAD001, VPA or with an RAD001-VPA combination for 3 or 5 days. Tumor cell growth, cell cycle progression and cell cycle regulating proteins were then investigated by MTT assay, flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively. Effects of drug treatment on cell signaling pathways were determined. Key findings: Separate application of RAD001 or VPA distinctly reduced tumor cell growth and impaired cell cycle progression. Significant additive effects were evoked when both drugs were used in concert. Particularly, the cell cycle regulating proteins cdk1, cdk2, cdk4 and cyclin B were reduced, whereas p21 and p27 were enhanced by the RAD001-VPA combination. Signaling analysis revealed deactivation of EGFr, ERK1/2 and p70S6k. Phosphorylation of Akt was diminished in DU-145 but elevated in PC-3 and LNCaP cells. Significance: The RAD001-VPA combination exerted profound antitumor properties on a panel of prostate cancer cell lines. Therefore, simultaneous blockage of HDAC and mTOR related pathways should be considered when designing novel therapeutic strategies for treating prostate carcinoma. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
