Özet
Aim: Combination therapies of cisplatin with 5-FU (PF) are an effective solution and have been widely used for the treatment of various categories of cancer including anal, gastrointestinal, and oral cancer, as well as head and neck tumors. The effects of combined PF treatment on vital intracellular signalling pathways in nontargeted cells remain unclear. The aim of this study is to explain the possible mechanisms by which combined PF treatment results in retinal toxicity and to investigate the effects of PF on important vital signalling pathways in ARPE 19 retinal pigmented epithelial cells.Materials and methods: We analysed the cellular and molecular effects of PF on cell viability, oxidative stress, gene repair response, and induction of apoptosis in ARPE 19 cells using molecular probe fluorescent staining, cell cytometer, RAPD, qRT-PCR, and western blot assays.Results: We determined that PF causes excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevents ROS scavenging by suppressing antioxidant systems. We found induction of DNA damage, particularly mismatch and double strand break repair, in ARPE 19 cells treated with PF. In this study, PF also induced both the intrinsic apoptosis pathway and death receptor signalling in ARPE 19 cells.Conclusions: Our data proved that PF causes cytotoxicity and genotoxicity, at both the cellular and molecular levels, in ARPE 19 cells following particularly prolonged treatment (48h). Additionally, our results suggest key molecular signals for prevention strategies that can be developed to reduce the severe side effects of PF chemotherapy.
