Abstract
HER2-overexpressing cancer cells are resistant to cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin (DXR). Here we report that SV40 T/t-common polypeptide could specifically sensitize HER2-overexpressing cancer cells to CDDP and DXR and specifically enhance CDDP- or DXR-induced apoptosis in these cells. This activity of T/t-common may be attributed to its ability to inhibit Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL and to suppress ERK activity in CDDP- or DXR-treated HER2-overexpressing cancer cells. T/t-common could enhance the antitumor activity of DXR on HER2-overexpressing ovarian tumor in NOD/SCID mice, suggesting that combination therapy using T/t-common and chemotherapeutic agents may provide a new approach for treating HER2-overexpressing cancers. ? 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
