Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are rare and highly aggressive sarcomas occurring in bone and soft tissue, with poor overall survival. Bcl-2 expression was previously shown to be upregulated in mesenchymal chondrosarcomas. We here report on a newly derived mesenchymal chondrosarcoma cell line, MCS170, in which we investigated treatment with the BH3 mimetic ABT-737 alone or in combination with conventional chemotherapy as a possible new therapeutic strategy. The presence of the characteristic HEY1-NCOA2 fusion was confirmed in the MCS170 cell line using FISH, RT-PCR, and sequencing. The MCS170 cell line was treated with ABT-737 alone or in combination with doxorubicin or cisplatin. Cell viability and proliferation was determined using WST-1 viability assays and the xCELLigence system. Expression of Bcl-2 family members was studied using immunohistochemistry. Apoptosis was determined using the caspase-glo 3/7 assay and western blot for PARP cleavage. The MCS170 cell line was sensitive to doxorubicin treatment with an IC50 of 0.09 mu M after 72 h, but more resistant to cisplatin treatment with an IC50 of 4.5 mu M after 72 h. Cells showed little sensitivity toward ABT-737 with an IC50 of 1.8 mu M after 72 h. Combination treatments demonstrated ABT-737 synergism with cisplatin as well as doxorubicin as shown by induction of apoptosis and reduction in cell proliferation. Restoration of the apoptotic machinery by inhibition of Bcl-2 family members sensitizes MCS170 mesenchymal chondrosarcoma cells to conventional chemotherapy. This indicates that combining the inhibition of Bcl-2 family members with conventional chemotherapy can be a possible therapeutic strategy for patients with mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
