Conclusion
These finding suggest that ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac suppress cell viability. The results reveal that ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac, which induce the histological change and apoptosis. This study indicates that these NSAIDs may be used as an anti-proliferation agent for the treatment of CCA in the future.
Methods
KKU-M139 and KKU-213B cell lines were used in this study. The cell viability was assessed by the MTT assay. Lipid synthesis determined by Oil red O staining and colorimetric assay. An inverted phase-contrast light microscope was used to investigate the histological change of the cells. Caspases 3/7 activity and AnnexinV/PI were used to assess apoptosis by multiple microplate reader.
Objective
To examine the effects of ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on cell proliferation activity of the human CCA cell lines.
Results
The results showed that ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac suppressed the viability of the KKU-M139 and KKU-213B cells in a dose-dependent manner, as measured especially diclofenac. However, these three NSAIDs slightly decreased lipid synthesis determined by Oil red O staining and colorimetric assay. The histological change observations showed the shrinking cell and become star-shaped in high dose treated groups. Interestingly, these NSAIDs exhibited in both of KKU-M139 and KKU-213B cell lines, the diclofenac-treated cells had the most injury cells. The cells exhibited cell injury features. In addition, the detection of caspase 3/7 and AnnexinV/PI in this investigation revealed early cell apoptotic characteristics.
