Two high-grade human UC cell lines (T24 and NTUB1) were used. Cytotoxicity and apoptosis were assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively. The expression of phospho-c-Raf, phospho-MEK1/2, and phospho-ERK1/2 was measured by western blotting. ERK siRNA knockdown and the specific MEK inhibitor U0126 were used to examine the role of Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway in combined cytotoxicity of TSA and chemotherapy. TSA co-treatment with any one of the three chemotherapeutic agents induced synergistic cytotoxicity (combination index < 1) and concomitantly suppressed chemotherapeutic drug-induced activation of Raf-MEK-ERK pathway. Combination of ERK siRNA knockdown and treatment with the specific MEK inhibitor (U0126) enhanced the cytotoxic effects of the chemotherapy on UC cells. These observations were confirmed in a xenograft nude mouse model. Moreover, activated Raf/MEK/ERK pathway was observed in human bladder UC specimens from patients with chemoresistant status. In conclusion, TSA elicits a synergistic cytotoxic response in combination with chemotherapy via targeting the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. TSA elicits synergistic cytotoxic response in combination with three DNA-damaging drugs (cisplatin, gemcitabine, and doxorubicin). Activated Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is involved in chemoresistant mechanism of UC. Combining chemotherapeutic agents with HDAC inhibitor (TSA) or with targeting Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is promising to circumvent chemoresistance in UCs. ? 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. |
