Minodronic Acid in Combination with γδT Cells Induces Apoptosis of Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma Cell Lines.

BACKGROUND/AIM
Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Recent studies showed that nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) directly and indirectly prevent proliferation, induce apoptosis, and inhibit metastasis of various types of cancer cell. In order to investigate the effect of combining minodronic acid (MDA) with γδ T-cells, NSCLC cells were treated with five concentrations of MDA.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
NSCLC cells were cultured with different concentrations of MDA alone or in combination with γδ T-cells for 24 h.


RESULTS
MDA with γδ T-cells had differential apoptotic effects on the NSCLC cell lines. The cells showed significant apoptotic effects in the presence of MDA in a dose-dependent manner.


CONCLUSION
This study is the first to report an indirect effect of MDA against NSCLC. We report the induction of apoptosis by MDA in combination with γδ T-cells.
