Salubrinal Enhances Doxorubicin Sensitivity in Human Cholangiocarcinoma Cells Through Promoting DNA Damage.
Cancer Biotherapy & Radiopharmaceuticals 2018 August
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor of the bile duct that arises from epithelial cells. Chemotherapy is an important treatment strategy for CCA patients, but its efficacy remains limited due to drug resistance. Salubrinal, an inhibitor of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α), has been reported to affect antitumor activities in cancer chemotherapy. In this study, the authors investigated the effect of salubrinal on the chemosensitivity of doxorubicin in CCA cells. They showed that doxorubicin induces CCA cell death in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Doxorubicin triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and induces DNA damage in CCA cells. In addition, ROS inhibitor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) pretreatment inhibits doxorubicin-induced CCA cell death. Importantly, these data demonstrate a synergistic death induction effect contributed by the combination of salubrinal and doxorubicin in CCA cells. It is notable that salubrinal promotes doxorubicin-induced ROS production and DNA damage in CCA cells. Taken together, these data suggest that salubrinal enhances the sensitivity of doxorubicin in CCA cells through promoting ROS-mediated DNA damage.
