Abstract

Background: The presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing the colon cancer. The main objective of this study was to determine the role of sodium orthovanadate (SOV) in colon cancer associated with diabetes mellitus by targeting the competitive inhibition of PTP1B.

Methods: For in vivo study, high fat diet with low dose streptozotocin model was used for inducing the diabetes mellitus. Colon cancer was induced by injecting 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (25 mg/kg, sc) twice a week. TNM staging and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was carried out for colon cancer tissues. In vitro studies like MTT assay, clonogenic assay, rhodamine-123 dye assay and annexin V-FITC assay using flow cytometry were performed on HCT-116 cell line. CAM assay was performed to examine the anti-angiogenic effect of the drug.

Results: Sodium orthovanadate reduces the blood glucose level and tumor parameters in the animals. In vitro studies revealed that SOV decreased cell proliferation dose dependently. In addition, SOV induced apoptosis as depicted from rhodamine-123 dye assay and annexin V-FITC assay using flow cytometry as well as p53 IHC staining. SOV showed reduced angiogenesis effect on eggs which was depicted from CAM assay and also from CD34 and E-cadherin IHC staining.

Conclusions: Our data suggest that SOV exhibits protective role in colon cancer associated with diabetes mellitus. SOV exhibits anti-proliferative, anti-angiogenic and apoptotic inducing effects hence can be considered for therapeutic switching in diabetic colon cancer.

Keywords: Angiogenesis; Apoptosis; Colon cancer; Diabetes mellitus; PTP1b; Sodium orthovanadate.
