Abstract: AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of epirubcin hydrochloride in combination use with oxaliplatin (L-OHP) on the hepatocellular carcinoma cells HepG2.METHODS: The inhibitory effect of epirubicin hydrochloride together with L-OHP on the growth of human hepatic carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro was evaluated by MTT assay. The apoptosis of nucleus was detected by Hoechst33258 staining. The degradation of DNA was evaluated by DNA ladder.RESULTS: Oxaliplatin and epirubicin hydrochloride both inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells, it presented addictive inhibition effect when two medicine combined (q value was in 0.85-1.15).CONCLUSION: Oxaliplatin and epirubicin hydrochloride both inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells and promoted apoptosis, combination of these medicine presented addictive inhibition effect, however, the mechanism was unclear.
