Effecte of the derivative of Gefitinib on proliferation of astrocytoma in vitro / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective The derivative of Gefitinib was used to treat glioma cells in vitro to explore a more effective new drug for the clinical treatment of astrocytoma. Methods (1) Fifteen kinds of gefitinib derivatives, gefitinib and temozolomide were used to treat glioma cells, and the effect of 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 μmol/L of each kind of drug on cell proliferation was detected by by MTT assay , respectively. (2) To calculate the concentration of IC50 , then select lower IC50 of derivativs combinate gefitinib and temozolomide with 10, 20 and 30 μmol/L to treat cells, then the apoptosis of cells were detected by flow cytometry. Expression of p-EGFR was detected by western–blot assay. Results (1) NO.LPY-5,9,11, but not other derivatives of Gefitinib could effectively inhibit the growth of cells. (2) IC50 of NO.LPY-9 was less than that of the 5th drug, and both of them were lower than those of gefitinib and temozolomide; NO. LPY-11 was excluded. (3) The cell apoptosis of No. LPY-9 was higher than that of gefitinib and temozolomide , respectively. However, No.LPY-9-induced cell apoptosis was significantly higher than that of No. LPY-5-induced cell. (4) Levels of p-EGFR expression in No.LPY-9 and gefitini-induced cells were significantly lower than that in the negative control group. Conclusion No.LPY-9 has asignificant inhibitory effect on glioma cells in vitro , resulting from the inhibition of the ERFR-mediated signaling pathways and induction of cell apoptosis.
