Research Abstract

Using microarray analysis, AKR1C family were up-regulated in all CDDP-resistant cell lines compared with CDDP-sensitive cell lines. We treated the chemoresistant cells with AKR1C siRNA or specific AKR1C inhibitor, mefenamic acid. In vivo, the antitumor growth effect of the combination therapy of mefenamic acid and CDDP/5-FU was greater than that with either mefenamic acid alone or CDDP/5-FU alone. In conclusion, combination CDDP and5-FU chemotherapy with mefenamic acid might be a great therapeutic system for chemoresistant OSCC. Toxicity of combination therapy of CDDP/5-FU and mefenamic acid was evaluated in vitro and in vivo, resulting in the recognition of the safety for the clinical application.
