We aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity and proliferation arrest effects of the histone deacetylase(HDAC) inhibitor TSA alone or/and combined with proteasome inhibitor MG-132 against lymphoma and multiple myeloma(MM) cells in vitro.Cell strains EL4,WEHI-231,SP2/0,and P3NSI were treated with TSA and/or MG-132 at different concentrations.Then the cytotoxicity and combination effects on the growth of lymphoma and MM cells were assessed by Trypan Blue assay;apoptosis and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry,whereas the caspase3 activation,the Bcl-2,Bax,cyclinD1,p21,IRF4 and c-Myc expression were determined by Western blot.In all lymphoma and MM cells,TSA or MG-132 alone induced concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptosis that was associated with prominent G_1 arrest,decreased CyclinD1,increased p21 proteins.While combined TSA/MG-132 treatment resulted in strong synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis,Apoptosis induced by TSA/MG-132 alone or combination was shown to involve caspase activation,further,resulted in increased caspase-3 cleavage,decreased Bcl-2 and Bax expression.In MM cells, with high level of IRF4 expression,combined TSA/MG-132 significantly down-regulated IRF4 and c-Myc expression compared with either agent alone;while in lymphoma cells,with low level of IRF4 expression,the level of IRF4 expression was no significant variation and only the level of c-Myc expression was gradually down-regulated by TSA/MG-132 combination.We conclude that TSA/MG- 132 alone or combination results in dose-dependent or synergistic cytotoxicity and apoptosis which involves the activation of caspase and G_1 arrest.Furthermore,the levels of IRF4 and c-Myc expression are alternative in apoptosis of lymphoma and MM.This may have potential therapeutic value in lymphoma and MM.
