OBJECTIVE Granulin A(GRN A),a cytokinesis protein,is derived from proteolysis of progranulin.The previous study in our laboratory has shown that GRN A is able to inhibit cancer cell growth significantly.This study aimed to investigate the effect of combination of GRN A and cisplatin on in vitro and in vivo on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS The in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of combination of GRN A and Cisplatin were evaluated with MTS assay and subcuta.neous transplantation tumor model.Chou-Talalay method was used to calculate the combination index(CI).Colony formation assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of GRN A on apoptosis.The expression of apoptosis-related proteins were detected by Western blot.RESULTS MTS assay showed that GRN A significantly inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma cells growth with the IC50 of 5.6 μmol·L^(-1),and GRN A combined with cisplatin synergistically inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation,with the CI<1.The colony-formation assay showed that GRN A significantly enhanced the inhibitory effects of cisplatin on cellular anchorage-independent growth.Flow cytometry showed that GRN A combined with cisplatin synergistically induced apoptosis,with the apoptotic rates of 5.87%,32.74%,35.67% and 67.15% in control,GRN A,Cisplatin,and combination of GRN A and Cisplatin groups,respectively.Western blot confirmed that the two drugs synergistically changed the expressions of proteins related to apoptosis.In vivo experiment indicated that combination of GRN A and cisplatin significantly suppressed tumor growth compared with single drug treatment groups.CONCLUSION The combination of GRN A and cisplatin resulted in synergistic antitumor effects against hepatocellular carcinoma both in vitro and in vivo.
