The effects of Tat-SmacN7 protein on radiosensitivity of esophageal carcinoma l09

  • Objective To investigate the effects of Tat-SmacN7 protein on sensitivity of esophageal carcinoma 109(EC109) to radiation.
    Methods Cells were treated with Tat-SmacN7 peptides, radiation or combination, the inhibition rate of EC109 cells were detected by water-soluble tetrazolium salt-1 assay. The protein level expression of Smac was determined by Western blot.
    Results The cells were resistant to Tat-SmacN7 as a single agent, but it could improve the sensitization of EC109 to radiation. Compared with the Tat-SamcN7 group and the radiation group, the Tat-SmacN7 combined with radiation group was inhibited significantly(24 h:t=16.821 and 9.825, both P < 0.05; 48 h:t=23.553 and 11.930, both P < 0.05). Western blot assay showed that Tat-SmacN7 could increase the expression of Smac protein.
    Conclusions Tat-SmacN7 could improve the radiosensitization of EC109 cell by increasing the expression of Smac.
