The membrane-bound MUC1 mucin is overexpressed and aberrantly glycosylated in many epithelium origin cancers. One of the promising strategies in cancer therapy is combining monoclonal antibodies against cancer related antigens, like MUC1, with chemotherapeutics. In the study we evaluated the potency of cisplatin (cisPt), two pyrazole-platinum(II) complexes PtPz4, PtPz6, and anti-MUC1 mAb applied as monotherapy, as well as the chemotherapeutics administrated with antibody, towards apoptotic response and cancer-related carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) in DLD-1 and HT-29 colon cancer cells. To assess the impact of the tested compounds on the examined factors flow cytometry, RT-PCR, Western blotting and ELISA were utilized. The combined therapy was more potent than monotherapy towards Bcl-2, Bid, caspases and TACAs of both cell lines. Combined therapy applied in DLD-1 cells induced apoptosis, was more effective than monotherapy in relation to p53, Bcl-xL, Bax, and Bim. In HT-29 cells, anti-MUC1 administrated with the drugs was more potent than monotherapy towards Bad. The proposed anti-MUC1/cisPt and pyrazole-platinum(II) complexes PtPz4, PtPz6 combined therapy may be promising anti-colon cancer therapy.
