Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of sorafenib on the proliferation and apoptosis of cisplatin-resistant tongue cancer cells(Tca8113/DDP)and to investigate the possible mechanisms. Methods The Tca8113/DDP cells were separated by continuously exposing Tca8113 OSCC cells to a stepwise escalating concentration of cisplatin. The inhibitory effects of sorafenib on the proliferation of Tca8113/DDP cells were determined by MTT assay after Tca8113/DDP cells were treated with different concentrations of sorafenib for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The effects of sorafenib on the apoptosis of Tca8113/DDP cells were detected by flow cytometry of Annexin V-FITC/PI staining method. The expression level of Tongue cancer resistance associated protein 1(TCRP1)was detected by Western blotting after sorafenib treatment. Results The proliferation of Tca8113/DDP cells was significantly inhibited in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. Sorafenib could inhibit the expression of TCRP1 proteins in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion Sorafenib can significantly inhibit the proliferation of Tca8113/DDP cells and induce apoptosis. The mechanisms might be related with the effect of the expression of TCRP1.
