Popis: | Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a common disorder in the elderly. Although remarkable progress has been made over recent decades, the outcome remains poor. Thus, the development of a more effective method to overcome this problem is necessary. In this study, we aimed to investigate the synergistic cytotoxic effect of low-dose arsenic trioxide (As2O3) combined with aclacinomycin A (ACM) on the human AML cell lines KG-1a and HL-60, and to clarify the underlying mechanism. Results showed that As2O3 combined with ACM exerted a synergistic cytotoxic effect by activation of the apoptosis pathway. Additionally, we found that the combination treatment decreased Bcl-2, c-IAP and XIAP expression but increased SMAC and caspase-3 expression more significantly than the single drug treatments. Furthermore, combination index (CI) values were < 1 in all matched combination groups. Additional evaluation of As2O3 combined with ACM as a potential therapeutic benefit for AML seems warranted. |
