Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of resveratrol on small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell proliferation and apoptosis. The results demonstrated that resveratrol concentration- and time-dependently reduced H446 cell viability. In addition, cells treated with resveratrol displayed higher apoptotic rates, in association with mitochondrial depolarization, cytochrome c release from the mitochondrial compartment to the cytoplasm, apoptosis-inducing factor translocation from the mitochondrial compartment to the nucleus, and altered protein levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bax. Furthermore, resveratrol promoted H446 cell inhibition by cisplatin, as reflected by reduced viability and increased apoptosis. These findings suggest that resveratrol exerts antitumor effects on SCLC H446 cells and promotes H446 cell killing by cisplatin via modulation of intrinsic apoptosis.
