Combination of celecoxib and doxorubicin increases growth inhibition and apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells

Abstract: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have been shown to enhance antitumor activity of therapeutic agents in a variety of solid tumor cells. However, this has not been well established in hematopoietic tumors, especially in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study was designed to investigate the effects of the combination of celecoxib, a specific COX-2 inhibitor, and doxorubicin on cell growth and apoptosis in human leukemia cells. Co-treatment with celecoxib and doxorubicin significantly inhibited cell growth a… Show more

“…In these studies, the metastatic cancer cells were only exposed to a single dose of drug added at the start of the assays, with monitoring over periods of 24-72 h. Repeated daily doses of low (1-10 µM) celecoxib levels administered to the metastatic cancer cells could sustain much higher accumulative drug actions and effects in vitro, with a greater net cytotoxic activity and further decrease IC 50 and GI 50 values in a system more closely mimicking an in vivo dosing regimen [43]. In this regard, low and physiologically relevant levels (1-10 µM) of celecoxib have been reported to chemosensitize cancer cells to subsequent treatment with common cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs such as doxorubicin [44,45] and greatly enhances chemotherapeutic anti-metastatic cancer cell efficacy in vitro and in vivo [44,46], as well as in clinical trials of metastatic colorectal cancer patients [42].…”

“…Although many of the NSAIDs show similar properties and ability to act as cytotoxic anticancer drugs (reviewed in [194] ), celecoxib was found to be by far the most outstanding [23,193] and was highly effective at inhibiting growth of triple negative breast cancer spheroids [195] . In this regard, in many animal models of cancer, celecoxib has been shown to chemosensitize cancer cells in a synergistic manner to enhance the cytotoxic effects of commonly used chemotherapies, such as the anthracycline drugs doxorubicin and epirubicin [196][197][198][199][200] and platinum-based chemotherapies [164,199,[201][202][203][204][205][206] . In murine models of colorectal cancer, synergistic anticancer effects were obtained by combining celecoxib with the common CRC chemotherapeutic drug, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) [207] or with oxaliplatin [208] .…”
