Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential antitumor efficacy of conjugated linoleic acid-paclitaxel (CLA-PTX) on B16-F10 melanoma cell line in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro cytotoxicity, apoptosis and cell cycle of CLA-PTX were investigated. The in vitro cellular uptake of CLA-PTX in B16-F10 cells was also analyzed. The antitumor activity of CLA-PTX was also evaluated in B16-F10 tumor-bearing C57BL6/N mice in vivo. The in vitro cytotoxicity results showed that the IC50 of the CLA-PTX is (4.25±0.43) µM, compared with that of (6.70±0.80) µM in PTX treatment group (P<0.01). CLA-PTX increased the percentage of total apoptotic cells compared with that of control and PTX treatment groups (P<0.01). Compared with untreated cells, CLA-PTX arrested cell cycle progression at the S phase, whereas PTX caused accumulation of cell at G2-M phase both along with the reduction of the cellular fraction arrested at the G1 phase. The amount of cellular uptake of CLA-PTX was significantly higher than that of PTX (P<0.01). The in vivo antitumor activity of CLA-PTX was significantly higher than that of control and PTX treatment groups (P<0.01 or P<0.05). In conclusion, our study demonstrated that CLA-PTX has significant antitumor activity in B16-F10 cell line.
