Targeted paclitaxel‐octreotide conjugates inhibited the growth of paclitaxel‐resistant human non‐small cell lung cancer A549 cells in vitro

Abstract The application of chemotherapy in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited by the toxicity to normal cells and the development of multi‐drug resistance. Targeted chemotherapy using cytotoxic analogs against specific receptors on cancer cells could be a less toxic and more efficacious...

PTX‐OCT and 2PTX‐OCT significantly inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis of SSTR2‐ and SSTR5‐positive A549 cells, compared with the control (p < 0.01), and had less inhibitory effect on SSTR2‐ and SSTR5‐negative H157 cells than paclitaxel (p < 0.01).

Three A549 paclitaxel‐resistant cell lines were established through different approaches, and the paclitaxel‐resistant cell showed higher sensitivity to PTX‐OCT conjugates than to paclitaxel, which might be because of the differential MDR‐related gene expressions and cell‐cycle distribution in paclitaxel‐resistant A549 cells.
