| Abstract | Functional defects in apoptosis signaling have been considered the important mechanism of chemoresistance in malignant mesothelioma (MM). This study was designed to explore the growth-inhibiting and apoptosis-promoting effects of sulforaphane and cisplatin on the human MM cell lines, MSTO-211H and H-2452, and examine the underlying mechanisms. Compared to normal mesothelial Met-5A cells, sulforaphane and cisplatin exhibited synergistic anti-cancer efficacy towards MM cells. By inducing ROS accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, sulforaphane potentiated cisplatin-induced cytotoxic effects, as evidenced by the increased nuclear fragmentation and chromatin condensation with the enhanced cleavage of procaspase-3 and PARP, the increased percentage of Annexin V-PE (+) cells, and the appearance of a sub-G$_{0}$/G$_{1}$ peak in the flow cytometric analysis. The apoptosis-inducing effects of two compounds were associated with the increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio due to a decrease in the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 level. A G$_{2}$/M phase transition delay in the cell cycle following the combined treatment of sulforaphane and cisplatin was linked to the down-regulation of cyclin B1 and phospho-Cdc2 (Thr$^{161}$) levels. In addition, the inhibition of ROS with N-acetylcysteine attenuated the apoptosis induced by the combination treatment, and recovered the depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential, revealing the vital role of ROS in the synergism. By targeting redox homeostasis, such a pro-oxidant-based combinational approach will help to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and preferential cytotoxicity on MM cells that conventional therapy would be ineffective. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
