The Anti-proliferative Effect of Caffeic Acid and Dactolisib on Human Cervical Carcinoma HeLa Cell Line

Abstract

Cervical carcinoma is a common gynecological cancer with high mortality rate among women worldwide. Caffeic acid exerts an antiproliferative effect against cervical carcinoma. Dactolisib is a dual PI3K and mTOR inhibitor that has a therapeutic potential for cervical carcinoma. This study aimed to reveal the anti-proliferative effect of combination treatment of caffeic acid and Dactolisib on cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line. Cytotoxicity of caffeic acid and Dactolisib on HeLa cell line was assessed by MTS assay. Colony formation of HeLa cells treated with caffeic acid and Dactolisib was determined by staining colonies with crystal violet and visualizing under light microscope. Dactolisib decreased cell proliferation of HeLa cells in time and dose dependent manner. 5 μM caffeic acid did not show any significant change in cell viability of HeLa cells. Combination treatment of 5 μM caffeic acid and 0.5 μM Dactolisib showed decrease in cell viability of HeLa cells when compared to Dactolisib treated cells. Combination of caffeic acid and Dactolisib decreased colony diameter of HeLa cells significantly when compared to control group. Caffeic acid and Dactolisib shows anti-proliferative effect on human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line, so further studies should be performed to reveal the mechanism of action.
