588 32 support cell survival is indicated as a new target for the development of cancer therapy despite longterm ERS initiates apoptosis. Combination of anti-cancer drugs can reduce side effects and synergistically enhance drug effects. In this study we investigated the synergistic anti-cancer effect of brefeldin A BFA and cis-dichlorodiamine platinum CDDP in human lung cancer cells. MTT assays revealed that BFA or CDDP alone inhibited the proliferation of GLC-82 human lung cancer cells with an IC50 of 100 ng /ml or 4 μg /ml respectively. At half doses of BFA and CDDP in combination showed more inhibitory effect at 24 hours with an observed synergism shown in the isobologram of cell proliferation index. With combined exposure of drugs more shrunk cells or abnormal cells with chromatin condensation were observed together with increased numbers of apoptotic bodies with nucleus and cytoplasm fragmentation. Real-time quantitative PCR RT-qPCR and Western blotting results showed that the levels of GRP78 and CHOP the endoplasmic reticulum stress markers were markedly increased as compared to single drug exposures. These data suggested that combination of BFA and CDDP could enhance the inhibitory effect on human lung cancer cells where the ERS pathway might be involved.

MTT method was used to test cell proliferation. The absorbance at 570 nm was measured using a microtiter plate reader SpectraMax 2e. Isobologram was used to analyze the cytotoxicity of BFA and CDDP treatments alone or in combination. The diagonal line represented the isoeffect line of additive. Points above this line indicated antagonism between drugs and points below this line indicated synergy D. Isobologram analysis and combination index analysis of the induction of differentiation in GLC-82 cells treated with the combination of BFA and CDDP a combination index of 1. 0 solid line reflected additive effects whereas values greater than or less than 1. 0 indicated antagonism or synergy respectively E.
