Heat shock protein 90 inhibitor, 17-DMAG, suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells in vitro
Objective To determine the effect of 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxy geldanamycin (17-DMAG)
a specific inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90)
on the proliferation and apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1. Methods After PANC-1 cells were treated with 17-DMAG at the final dose of 500 nmol/mL
CCK8 assay was used to plot cell growth curve. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell cycle and apoptosis. JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit was applied to detect mitochondrial membrane potential. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to detect the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and Bax. Results 17-DMAG treatment for 24 h resulted in no significant difference in cell growth in PANC-1 cells (P0.05)
but when the treatment was prolonged to 48 and 72 h
the growth was decreased by (18.3±2.4)% and (21.5±3.2)%
respectively (P0.05). After 17-DMAG treatment for 48 h
the proliferation was obviously inhibited in 17-DMAG group than in control group (P0.05)
with its apoptotic rate significantly higher [(22.4±2.4)% vs (4.2±1.7)%
P0.05]
and the mitochondrial membrane potential significantly decreased (P0.05). 17-DMAG down-regulated the mRNA level of Bcl-2
and consequently up-regulated that of Bax in PANC-1 cells. Conclusion 17-DMAG inhibits the proliferation and induces the apoptosis in PANC-1 cells by regulating apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 family.
