Resveratrol (RES) is a natural polyphenol having anti-proliferative activity against breast cancer cells. RES in combination with other chemo modulatory agents, minimizes toxicity and increases efficacy of the treatment. Salinomycin (SAL), a monocarboxylic polyether ionophore is known for selectively targeting breast cancer stem cells. Purpose of the present study was to investigate whether RES in combination with SAL exerts synergistic anti-proliferative activity on breast cancer cells. We further evaluated the molecular mechanism behind SAL and RES mediated cell death. Cytotoxicity assay was performed to determine 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of SAL and RES in different human breast cancer cells (HBCCs). Drug synergism and combination index (CI) were calculated using CompuSyn software and effects of synergistic combinations (CI < 1) involving lower doses of SAL and RES were selected for further studies. This combination significantly induced apoptosis in HBCCs without affecting non tumorigenic human breast epithelial cells MCF-10A. Co-treatment enhanced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated mitochondrial dysfunction. Oxidative stress disrupt redox homeostasis which altered antioxidant enzymes viz. CuZn Superoxide dismutase (SOD), MnSOD and catalase. Additionally, combination altered nuclear morphology, enhanced PARP cleavage and led to caspase activation. SAL and RES also synergistically modulated MAPK pathway. Study suggests that SAL and RES offer a novel combination approach for the treatment of breast cancer.
