The inhibitory effect of BEZ235,an inhibitor of phosphoinositol-3-kinase/mTOR,on HepG2 cell proliferation and its synergic effect in combination with adriamycin
Aim To detect the effect of BEZ235,inhibitor of phosphoinositol-3-kinase/Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin,on the cell proliferation and apoptosis in human hepatoma cancer cell line HepG2 cells,and also to investigate the synergistic effect of BEZ235 combined with adriamycin on HepG2 cells.Methods Cell growth was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay.Cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.Annexin Ⅴ-FITC apoptosis detection kit was used to detect cell apo...
