Cisatracurium besilate enhances the TRAIL-induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells via p53 signaling
Cisatracurium besilate is the most commonly used non-depolarizing muscle relaxant in general anesthesia and in intensive care units. Studies have indicated that the proliferation of gastric cancer (GC) cells can be restrained by cisatracurium besilate. The present study aimed to investigate the mech...

Cisatracurium besilate is the most commonly used non-depolarizing muscle relaxant in general anesthesia and in intensive care units. Studies have indicated that the proliferation of gastric cancer (GC) cells can be restrained by cisatracurium besilate. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying the role of cisatracurium besilate in TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced GC. The AGS cell line was exposed to cisatracurium besilate, and then cell viability, colony formation and apoptosis were assessed by performing Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation, TUNEL and Western blot assays, respectively. Furthermore, the expression levels of p53 and p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) were measured by Western blotting to determine the effect of cisatracurium besilate on p53/PUMA signaling. After co-treatment with p53 inhibitor, cisatracurium besilate and pifithrin-α/TRAIL, cell apoptosis was detected. Finally, cisatracurium besilate and pifithrin-α were used to co-treat TRAIL-induced AGS cells followed by apoptosis detection. Cisatracurium besilate treatment restrained the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of AGS cells. Cisatracurium besilate also promoted the expression of p53 and PUMA in AGS cells. Furthermore, TRAIL induced the apoptosis of AGS cells, which was aggravated by cisatracurium besilate treatment.
