Abstract: AIM: The aim of our present study is to assess of synergy inhibition effect of 17-AAG combinated with cisplatin on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells. METHODS: MTT assay was used to detect the inhibiton of the various concentrations of 17-AAG, cisplatin, or the two combination on A549 cells. The median-effect method of Chou and Talalay was used to evaluate the combination effect. RESULTS: 17-AAG or cisplatin alone inhibited the growth of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 for 48 h was 69.627 μmol/L for cisplatin, and 0.455 μmol/L for 17-AAG. The effect was greater when the two agents were combined, even at the lowest dosage combination.CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that the combination of 17-AAG and cisplatin showed synergy inhibition effect on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells.
