Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the roles of PDCD4 involved in promoting cisplatin (CDDP) induced tumor cell apoptosis. METHODS: CCK8 method was used to detect the cytotoxicity induced by CDDP in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line(CNE1) before and after PDCD4 transfection. The rate of apoptosis for CDDP-induced nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells was investigated using flow cytometry before and after transfection of PDCD4. Western blot method was used to probe the molecular mechanisms involved in the chemosensitivity. RESULTS: PDCD4 enhanced the killing effect of CDDP on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1; PDCD4 increased CDDP-induced apoptotic rate of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE1; mechanism study found that PDCD4 significantly decreased the expression of Twist and MDR1 protein, thereby promoting the cell chemosensitivity. CONCLUSION: PDCD4 enhances the sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs by inhibiting Twist protein, suggesting that PDCD4 might serve as a chemotherapy target in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment.

Key words: nasopharyngeal carcinoma, PDCD4, Twist, cisplatin
