Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Co‐treatment with paclitaxel and lentinan enhanced cell apoptosis rate by inducing caspase‐3 activation.
Furthermore, co‐treatment with paclitaxel and lentinan significantly triggered reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and increased thioredoxin‐interacting protein (TXNIP) expression.
In addition, combination of paclitaxel and lentinan could activate apoptosis signal regulating kinase‐1 (ASK1)/p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal which also contributed to cell apoptosis.
Moreover, co‐treatment with paclitaxel and lentinan enhanced TXNIP‐NLRP3 interaction, and activated NLRP3 inflammasome whereat interleukin‐1β levels were increased and cell apoptosis was induced.
Taken together, co‐treatment with paclitaxel and lentinan exerts synergistic apoptotic effects in A549 cells through inducing ROS production, and activating NLRP3 inflammasome and ASK1/p38 MAPK signal pathway.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to detect whether co‐treatment with lentinan enhanced the anti‐cancer effects of paclitaxel in A549 cells.
We found that the combination of paclitaxel and lentinan resulted in a significantly stronger inhibition on A549 cell proliferation than paclitaxel treatment alone.
