Abstract/OtherAbstract:
ABSTRACT Recently triptolide (TPL) has been proved to have the capacity of inhibiting the proliferation of multiple myeloma (MM) cells, as well as leukemic cells in vitro. In the present study, we found a synergistic effect when TPL was added to dexamethasone to induce apoptosis in MM.1S cells. This combination induced significantly higher proportion of apoptotic cells compared with those treated with each drug separately. TPL downregulated the expression of miR142-5p and miR181a which have been shown to inhibit glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression. MicroRNA mimics and inhibitors inhibited or enhanced the synergistic effect between TPL and dexamethasone in inducing apoptosis in MM.1S cells, suggesting an important role of miR142-5p and miR181a in GR regulation by TPL. The in vitro proapoptotic effect of TPL associated with dexamethasone brings new clue for further clinical investigation for treatment of MM patients with TPL.
