ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND/AIM:
The aim of the present study was to determine the synergy of recombinant methioninase (rMETase) and the anti-tubulin agent eribulin on fibrosarcoma cells, in comparison to normal fibroblasts, in vitro. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells and HS27 human fibroblasts were used for in vitro experiments. Four groups were analyzed in vitro No-treatment control; eribulin; rMETase; eribulin plus rMETase. Dual-color HT1080 cells which express red fluorescent protein (RFP) in the cytoplasm and green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the nuclei were used to visualize cytoplasmic and nuclear dynamics during treatment.RESULTS:
Eribulin combined with rMETase greatly decreased the viability of HT 1080 cells. In contrast, eribulin combined with rMETase did not show synergy on Hs27 normal fibroblasts. Eribulin combined with rMETase also caused more fragmentation of the nucleus than all other treatments.CONCLUSION:
The combination treatment of eribulin plus rMETase demonstrated efficacy on fibrosarcoma cells in vitro. In contrast, normal fibroblasts were resistant to this combination, indicating the potential clinical applicability of the treatment.Key words
