"Phytic acid decreased proliferation of the cell lines"
Effect of phytic acid and inositol on the proliferation
and apoptosis of cells derived from colorectal carcinoma.
Schröterová L, Hasková P, Rudolf E, Cervinka M
Oncol Rep 2010 Mar; 23(3):787-93.
We characterized the effect of phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate,
IP6) as a potential adjuvant in treatment of colorectal carcinoma
and evaluated the optimal concentration and treatment time to produce
the maximal therapeutic effect.
There is some evidence that myoinositol (Ins) can potentiate anti-
cancer
effects of IP6.
Therefore, we tested both IP6 and Ins individually and in combination
on
human cell lines HT-29, SW-480 and SW-620 derived from colorectal
carcinoma in different stages of malignancy.
The effect of tested chemicals on the cells was measured using
metabolic
activity assay (WST-1), DNA synthesis assay (BrdU), protein synthesis
assay (Brilliant Blue) and apoptosis (caspase-3 activity).
We tested IP6 and Ins at three concentrations: 0.2, 1 and 5 mM for
24,
48 and 72 h.
The concentrations and incubation periods were chosen according to
low
toxicity of the tested substance that was observed in a long-term
clinical
study.
We found that all employed concentrations of IP6 or IP6/Ins decreased
proliferation of the cell lines, with the maximum decrease being
observed
in HT-29 cells.
Metabolic activity of treated cells differed in response to IP6 and
IP6/Ins
treatment; in HT-29 and SW-620 significant decrease was observed only
at
the highest concentration, whereas in SW-480 cells metabolic activity
was
lower at each concentration except 0.2 and 1 mM IP6 or IP6/Ins in 24-
h
incubation.
The results from protein content assay corresponded to the results
obtained
from WST assay.
In addition, we found maximum increase in caspase-3 activity at
concentration
5 mM IP6 or IP6/Ins in HT-29 cells and with IP6 at concentration of
0.2 mM or
IP6/Ins in SW-480 cells with clear indication of Ins enhancing the
proapoptotic
effect of IP6 in all the cell lines studied.
