Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To study effects of AZD1152 combined with 125I particles on proliferations and apoptoses of triple negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. METHODS: Cultured cells were divided into several groups; control, 125I particle irradiation, 1 μmol/L AZD1152 treatment with 48 h, treated with 125I particle irradiation and 1 μmol/L AZD1152 treated with 48 h. Cell proliferation inhibitory rates were detected using the MTT and cell viability using the CCK-8 assays. Cell ploidies,cell cycles and apoptoses were detected using flow cytometry with cells separately stained by propidium iodide (PI) and by Annexin V/PI double-staining. Expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-XL, Bcl-2 and PARP), CyclinB1 and Phosphorylation levels of Histone H3 were analyzed using Western blotting. RESULTS: After treatments for 48 h, cell proliferation inhibitory rates were (0.61±0.32)%,(17.62±1.41)%,(29.67±0.41)%,(53.17±1.26)%,respectively. Cell viability rates were (94.88±0.22)%,(59.21±0.14)%,(42.05±0.17)% (32.12±0.36)%,respectively. The proportions of G2/M phase were (18.99±0.15)%,(38.05±0.23)%,(49.80±0.32)%,(75.52±0.45)%,respectively. The apoptosis rates of MDA-MB-231 cells were (17.48±0.24)%,(29.23±0.02)%,(63.11±0.27)%,with significantly differences in the different groups (P<0.05). Compared with (0.31 ±0.03)% in the control group, the observed increases were significant (P<0.05). Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry analyses showed that multinucleated and polyploid cells appeared in the 1μmol/L AZD1152 group in 48 hours,which were easy to form aneuploid cells. Compared with the irradiated,inhibitor and control groups,the combined irradiation with 1 μmol/L AZD1152 for 48 h effectively down-regulated the expressions of Bcl-2,p-Histone H3,CyclinB1 and promoted Bax and dissection of PARP (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The combination of 125I particles and AZD1152 treatments efficiently inhibited proliferation and promoted apoptosis in breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
