چکیده    Background: to elucidate whether rapamycin,the inhibitor of mtor (mammalian target of rapamycin),can potentiate the cytotoxic effect of docetaxel in lung cancer cells and to probe the mechanism underlying such enhancement. methods. lung cancer cells were treated with docetaxel and rapamycin. the effect on the proliferation of lung cancer cells was evaluated using the mtt method,and cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. protein expression and level of phosphorylation were assayed using western blot method. results: co-treatment of rapamycin and docetaxel was found to favorably enhance the cytotoxic effect of docetaxel in four lung cancer cell lines. this tumoricidal boost is associated with a reduction in the expression and phosphorylation levels of survivin and erk1/2,respectively. conclusion: the combined application of mtor inhibitor and docetaxel led to a greater degree of cancer cell killing than that by either compound used alone. therefore,this combination warrants further investigation in its suitability of serving as a novel therapeutic scheme for treating advanced and recurrent lung cancer patients. © 2011 niu et al; licensee biomed central ltd.
