In this study we investigate the migration inhibition of Gypenosides (Gyp) and its combined effects with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on human colon cancer SW-620 cells, hoping to explore more potential clinical use of Gyp. Our data implied Gyp could significantly inhibit the migration potential of SW-620 cells including down-regulating matrix Metalloproteinases expression and decreasing cells adhesion ability. What’s more, evidence showed cells treated with Gyp exerted serious microfilament network collapse as well as a significant decline in the number of microvilli. A significant migration inhibitory effect was seen in Gyp groups along with the decline of cell adhesion. Further, the combination studies suggested Gyp could synergistically enhance the antitumor effect of 5-FU in SW-620 cells through the apoptosis way. The present study indicated Gyp could prevent cell migration and further enhance the cell killing effect of 5-FU on human colon cancer SW-620 cells.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising anticancer cytokine with minimal toxicity towards normal cells. Nevertheless, most primary cancers are often intrinsically TRAIL-resistant or can acquire resistance after TRAIL therapy. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of co-treatment of 3-bromopyruvate (3-BP) as a potent anticancer agent with TRAIL on colon cancer cells (HT-29). The results of present study indicated that combined treatment with 3-BP and TRAIL inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 cells to a greater extent (88.4%) compared with 3-BP (54%) or TRAIL (11%) treatment alone. In contrast, the combination of 3-BP and TRAIL had no significant inhibitory effect on the proliferation of normal cells (HEK-293) (8.4%). At a cellular mechanistic level, the present study showed that 3-BP sensitized human colon cancer cells to TRAIL-induced apoptosis via reactive oxygen species generation, upregulation of Bax, downregulation of Bcl-2 and survivin, release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, and activation of caspase-3. In normal cells, 3-BP, TRAIL, or combination of both had no significant effect on the reactive oxygen species levels, release of cytochrome c, and caspase-3 activity. Therefore, the combination of 3-BP and TRAIL can be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of colon cancer.

The direct leucocyte migration inhibition test in capillary tubes was used to test 10 patients with colonic adenocarcinoma against KCl soluble extracts of an allogenic colon cancer and an allogenic normal colon fragment. Inhibition was consistently found with the cancer extract but not with the normal tissue extract. None of the control group of patients affected by other tumors, intestinal and liver disorders showed a migration inhibition in response to the colonic tumor extract. Our findings strongly suggest the presence of a tumor-associated antigen in the cancer extract.
