Highlights |
• | TMZ reduced the cell viability at higher concentrations. |
• | Lower cell viability values were found in cells treated with TMZ + GEM, TMZ + ABX. |
• | The combined treatment of TMZ with ABX and/or GEM increased the apoptosis rates. |
• | TMZ alone or together with ABX and/or GEM reduced the ATP levels. |
• | The lowest cell migration rates were found at TMZ + ABX and TMZ + ABX + GEM treatments. |
Abstract |
Background |
Trimetazidine (TMZ) is an anti-ischemic agent that can inhibit the fatty acid oxidation. It has been stated that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation may be an acceptable approach to cancer treatment.
Methods |
We examined the effects of TMZ alone or together with abraxane (ABX) and/or gemcitabine (GEM) on cell viability, apoptosis, adhesion, migration and ATP levels of human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1.
Results |
TMZ significantly reduced the cell viability at higher concentrations. Lower cell viability values were found in cells co-treated with TMZ + GEM, TMZ + ABX and GEM + ABX. The combined treatment of TMZ with ABX and/or GEM significantly increased the apoptosis rates. The highest percentages of apoptosis were found in TMZ + ABX or TMZ + ABX + GEM treatments. TMZ alone or together with ABX and/or GEM significantly reduced the ATP levels. The lowest migration rates were also found at TMZ + ABX and TMZ + ABX + GEM treatments.
Conclusions |
Our study is the first study to indicate that TMZ can induce cytotoxicity and apoptosis and reduce migration and ATP levels, especially in cells co-treated with ABX and/or GEM. A combination strategy based on inhibition of fatty acid oxidation and anticancer drugs may be more effective in the treatment of pancreatic cancers.
