Abstract

Background and Aim: Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly aggressive malignancy associated with low survival rates. Many chemotherapeutic regimens have been investigated for advanced unresectable and metastatic PC, but with only minimal improvement in survival and prognosis. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer function of free and nano-encapsulated hydroxytyrosol (Hyd) and curcumin (Cur), and its combinations (Hyd-Cur) on the PANC-1 cell line.Methods: The poly lactide-co-glycolide-co-polyacrylic acid (PLGA-co-PAA) nano-encapsulated Hyd and Cur were synthesized, and MTT assay was performed to evaluate cytotoxic effects of free and nano-encapsulated Hyd, Cur, and Hyd-Cur. Moreover, effects of free and nano-encapsulated Hyd, Cur, and Hyd-Cur were evaluated on viability, migration, morphological alterations, colony formation, and apoptosis on PANC-1 cell line. The mRNA expression levels of MMP2, MMP9, BAX, BCL-2, and Cas9 genes were assessed after treated PANC-1 cells with free and nano-encapsulated Hyd, Cur, and Hyd-Cur.Results: The obtained results showed that free and nano-encapsulated Hyd, Cur, and Hyd-Cur treatments significantly decreased the viability, migration, and colony formation in the PANC-1 cells. Furthermore, apoptosis rates in PANC-1 cells were increased in a concentration and time dependent manner in all of the treatment groups. Moreover, anti-proliferative activity of nano-encapsulated Hyd-Cur was significantly more than other treatments.Conclusion: According to our results, Hyd-Cur combination and nano-encapsulation therapy exerts more profound apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects on PANC-1 cell line than free Hyd or Hyd monotherapy.
