Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the effect that external irradiation of dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors NVPBEZ235 on cervical cancer Hela cells. METHODS: Cervical cancer Hela cells treated with different concentrations of NVPBEZ235 and the radiotherapy (irradiation, IR) were examined for cell viability using MTT assay and colony forming ability. The cycle arrest of cervical cancer cells combined drug with IR was analyzed by using the flow cytometry. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, NVPBEZ235 can inhibit human cervical carcinoma cell in vitro (P<0.05). The combined use of NVPBEZ235 significantly enhanced the inhibitory effect of IR (P<0.05) in Hela cells. In vitro, NVPBEZ235 and IR, which had synergistic effect, can block cell cycle to G2/M period by the combined effect which was significantly greater than the effect of one single drug (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: 20% IC50 NVPBEZ235 can promote the cell's radiation sensitivity, inhibit the proliferation of cells, and thereby, increase its radio sensitivity to cervical cancer cells.
