Synergistic inhibitory actions of resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, and diallyl trisulfide against skin cancer cell line A431 through mitochondrial caspase dependent pathway: a combinational drug approach
Abstract
The harmful effect of chemotherapeutic side effects has paid a way to discover a novel with curative way for skin cancer treatment. Skin cancer prevention is more viable with the use of combination of bioactive agents than using of single bioactive compounds. Present work was demonstrated to evaluate the interaction of Resveratrol (Res), Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and diallyl trisulfide (DATS) with each other as a binary combination on A431 cells. Nuclear fragmentation analysis of combination of bioactive agents using DAPI analysis, detection of apoptosis, analysis of cell cycle, ROS assay, antimigration assays, and western blotting were implemented to study the combination of bioactive compounds on A431 cell line. Among the selected combination EGCG + DATS had a synergetic effect reducing cellular migration, increased intercellular reactive oxygen species generation, condensation, cell phagocytosis induced by phosphatidylserine externalization, rise in sub-G1 DNA content, and S-phase were cell cycle arrest. The combinations EGCG + DATS induced apoptotic proteins in A431 cells by upregulation of proapoptotic Bax and Bad proteins, a downmodulation of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl2 and caspases (caspase-3, and -9) activity got triggered by intrinsic pathway. The combination of EGCG + DATS showed good anticancer potential against A431 skin cancer cell line via the mitochondrial caspase dependent pathway with very strong synergism. This finding will help to produce a novel…
