Diclofenac (DCF) enhances cisplatin resistance in signet ring cell gastric carcinoma cells by promoting cell death through intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibiting cell survival signal transduction pathway.
Gastric cancer has one of the highest incidence rates of cancer worldwide while also contributing to increased drug resistance among patients in clinical practice. Herein, we have investigated the role of diclofenac (DCF) on sensitizing cisplatin resistance in signet ring cell gastric carcinoma cells (SRCGC). Non-toxic concentrations of DCF significantly augmented cisplatin-induced cell death in cisplatin-resistant SRCGC cells (KATO/DDP) but not in cisplatin-sensitive SRCGC cells (KATOIII). Consistently, concomitant treatment of DCF and cisplatin significantly enhanced autophagic cell death due to overproduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). At the molecular level, the induction of ROS has been associated with a reduction in antioxidant enzymes expression while inhibiting nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activity. Moreover, the combination of DCF and cisplatin also inhibited the expression of survival proteins including Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, cIAP1 and cyclin D1 in KATO/DDP cells when compared with cisplatin alone. This was due, at least in part, to reduce MAPKs, Akt, NF-kappa B, AP-1 and STAT-3 activation. Taken together, our results suggested that DCF potentiated the anticancer effect of cisplatin in SRCGC via the regeneration of intracellular ROS, which in turn promoted cell death as an autophagy mechanism and potentially modulated the cell survival signal transduction pathway.
