The Synergistic Activity of Bortezomib and TIC10 against A2058 Melanoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Combination antitumor treatments are essential parts of modern tumor therapy as-compared to monotherapies-(i) they are more effective; (ii) the dose of the compounds can be reduced; and (iii) therefore the side effects are improved. Our research group previously demonstrated the antitumor character of bortezomib (BOZ) in A2058 melanoma cells. Unfortunately, dose-related side effects are common during BOZ therapy, which could be prevented by reducing the dose of BOZ. This study aimed to characterize synergistic combinations of BOZ with a TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) -inducing compound (TIC10), where the doses can be cut down but the efficacy is preserved. Endpoint cell viability assays were performed on A2058 cells, and synergism of BOZ and TIC10 was observed after 72 h. Sy
