Abstract
BACKGROUND
Hydroxytyrosol is one of the phenolic compounds of olive oil and can induce anti-cancer effects on the colorectal cancer cells.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the free hydroxytyrosol and nano-capsulated hydroxytyrosol effects on the cell cycle arrest in HT-29 colorectal cancer cell line.
METHODS
The nano-capsulated hydroxytyrosol was synthesized in poly lactide-co-glycolide-co-polyacrylic acid (PLGA-PAA) copolymer. MTT assay was performed to evaluate the anti- proliferative and anti-tumor effects of the free hydroxytyrosol and nano-capsulated hydroxytyrosol. Finally, the relative expression of CDKN1A, CDKN1B and CCND1 genes was evaluated in the control and treated colorectal cancer cells by using Real-Time PCR.
RESULTS
The obtained results from the MTT assay showed that the cytotoxic effects of the nano-capsulated hydroxytyrosol on the colorectal cancer cell line (IC50= 6PPM) was significantly more than free hydroxytyrosol (IC50= 12PPM) after 72h. Also, nano-capsulated hydroxytyrosol showed more significant effects on the up-regulation of CDKN1A and CDKN1B genes, and down-regulation of the CCND1 gene in the colorectal cancer cells.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the present study showed that the hydroxytyrosol led to die the colorectal cancer cell through the cell cycle arrest. Also, the PLGA-PAA copolymer dramatically caused to increase the cytotoxic effects of the hydroxytyrosol on the colorectal cancer cells.
