Inhibition of Proliferation in U937 Cells Treated by Blue Light Irradiation and Combined Blue Light Irradiation/Drug.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2018 May 16
The cell viability and apoptosis of tumor U937 cells treated by blue light (BL) irradiation have been examined. BL irradiation can specially inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of U937 cells, relating to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decline of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). The apoptosis is further associated with varying downregulated B-cell lymphoma-extra large ( Bcl-XL ) and B-cell lymphoma 2 ( Bcl-2 ) genes, upregulated Bcl-2-associated X ( Bax ) gene, the activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9, and the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) by the BL irradiation process. Moreover, BL irradiation induced proliferation inhibition is higher than that treated by a common chemotherapeutic drug of homoharringtonine (HHT). When we synergize BL irradiation with HHT (BL-HHT), a higher proliferation inhibition is obtained than that treated by BL irradiation or HHT alone. These results are helpful for establishing a low toxicity and high efficiency strategy of BL irradiation for clinical treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, not limited to U937 cells.
