Abstract

Cisplatin, as a first‑line chemotherapy drug, has been widely applied for therapy of osteosarcoma. However, its application is limited by drug resistance and serious side effects, including nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is a newly developed histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, which is the first Food and Drug Administration‑approved HDAC inhibitor for the treatment of cutaneous manifestations of T‑cell lymphoma. However, SAHA as a monotherapy was revealed to be limited, particularly in solid tumors. In the present study, 143B osteosarcoma cells were treated with multiple concentrations of SAHA or cisplatin, either alone or combined. The morphological characteristics of the treated cells were observed using an inverted microscope. The cytotoxicity effects of the combination of SAHA and cisplatin on 143B cells were analyzed by MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing cell migration assay, cell apoptosis assay and cell cycle analysis. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression levels of B cell lymphoma‑2 (Bcl‑2)‑associated X protein (Bax), Bcl‑2, cleaved‑caspase‑3, cleaved‑caspase‑8 and cleaved‑poly (ADP‑ribose) polymerase (PARP). The experimental data indicated that the inhibition of cell proliferation in the combination group was significantly increased compared with that in single drug groups. Expression levels of pro‑apoptotic protein were upregulated, whereas anti‑apoptotic Bcl‑2 was downregulated significantly in 143B cells following SAHA/cisplatin treatment. Taken together, the results revealed that the combination of SAHA and cisplatin inhibited the proliferation of 143B cells and induced their apoptosis synergistically, and this effectiveness may be mediated by caspase activation.
