Abstract
Here, we revealed the reversibility of cabazitaxel (CBZ)-induced apoptosis in PC-3 castration resistant metastatic prostate cancer cells (mCRPC) through the hallmarks of apoptosis. The recovery of PC-3 cells from apoptosis upon removal of CBZ at different recovery periods was evaluated by Annexin V, DNA damage, oxidative damage, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, and caspase activation. Our results showed that the administration of CBZ caused apoptosis for 72 h in PC-3 cells. However, recovered cells exhibited decreased nuclear damage, plasma membrane disruption, ROS level, release cytochrome c level and caspase-3 activation with upregulation of Bcl-2 expression upon removal of especially 1 nM CBZ for 24 h recovery period in PC-3 cells. Our study indicates that CBZ treated PC-3 cells can recover after apoptotic cell death. However, advanced molecular analysis should elucidate the relationship between the molecular mechanisms of recovery and taxane response or resistance in PC-3 mCRPC cells.
期刊介绍:
Toxicology in Vitro publishes original research papers and reviews on the application and use of in vitro systems for assessing or predicting the toxic effects of chemicals and elucidating their mechanisms of action. These in vitro techniques include utilizing cell or tissue cultures, isolated cells, tissue slices, subcellular fractions, transgenic cell cultures, and cells from transgenic organisms, as well as in silico modelling. The Journal will focus on investigations that involve the development and validation of new in vitro methods, e.g. for prediction of toxic effects based on traditional and in silico modelling; on the use of methods in high-throughput toxicology and pharmacology; elucidation of mechanisms of toxic action; the application of genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics in toxicology, as well as on comparative studies that characterise the relationship between in vitro and in vivo findings. The Journal strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that focus on the development of in vitro methods, their practical applications and regulatory use (e.g. in the areas of food components cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals). Toxicology in Vitro discourages papers that record reporting on toxicological effects from materials, such as plant extracts or herbal medicines, that have not been chemically characterized.
