Abstract:Objective To study the effect of interferon-α (IFN-α) on chemosensitivity in osteosarcoma U2OS cells. Methods Cells were divided into control group, IFN-α group, Cisplatin group and IFN-α+Cisplatin group. After treatment for 72 hours, cell growth inhibition rate was determined by Trypan Blue exclude test. Apoptosis was evaluated with Hoechst 33258 staining and DNA ladder. Expressions of caspase-3, 8 and 9 were detected through Western blot. After pre-treatment with Z-VAD-FMK, cell was treated with Cisplatin or combination. Growth inhibition was determined with Trypan Blue exclude test. Results Cells growth inhibition rates in IFN-α group, Cisplatin group and IFN-α+Cisplatin group were higher than those in control group, cells growth inhibition rate in IFN-α+Cisplatin group was higher than that in Cisplatin group (P < 0.01). DNA ladder appeared in IFN-α+Cisplatin group. Compared with Cisplatin group, the expression of caspase-3, 8 and 9 in IFN-α+Cisplatin group was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Cells growth inhibition rate of IFN-α+Cisplatin+Z-VAD-FMK group was lower than that of IFN-α+Cisplatin group (P < 0.01). Conclusion IFN-α enhances chemosensitivity to Cisplatin in U2OS cells through caspase-dependent apoptosis.
