Triptolide simultaneously induces reactive oxygen species, inhibits NF-kappaB activity and sensitizes 5-fluorouracil in colorectal cancer cell lines.

Abstract:

:The in vitro chemosensitizing effect of triptolide (PG490) on the cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was determined in three colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. PG490 alone was toxic to CRC cell lines (IC(50)s: 1.39-5.51nM). The cytotoxicity of 5-FU to CRC cell lines was 4-15-fold sensitized by combining use of low concentration of PG490. CI-isobologram indicated that the effect of PG490 plus 5-FU was synergistic. PG490 and 5-FU treatment induced activated caspase 3 and Bax expression and inhibited Bcl-2 expression. PG490 simultaneously induced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibited NF-kappaB transcriptional activity.
