摘要: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancers with poor prognosis. Despite that platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent radiotherapy have made great achievements for the treatment NPC, therapeutic reaction toxicity varies dramatically among individuals. Apigenin (API), naturally occurring plant flavone, considered to anti-cancer effect. Cetuximab (CET), well known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, widely used in various cancers, especially cancers. The aim our study was measure combination API CET NPC vitro vivo. Results demonstrated combining could better suppress viability human nasopharyngeal cell lines (HONE1 CNE2) inhibit than or alone. Besides, produced greater pro-apoptosis Moreover, increased G2/M phase arrest caused by be remarkably enhanced adding HONE1 CNE2 cells. Although, both decrease expressions p-EGFR, p-Akt, p-STAT3 Cyclin D1. Combining them inhibition These results suggested may promising approach NPC.
