Background: Gastric cancer remains one of the leading cause of death in the world. Drug combinations are potential approaches to provide more efficient treatments that minimize side effects.Purpose: We investigated the pharmacological effects of the combination of wogonin with oxaliplatin on gastric cancer cells in vitro and in vivo.Methods and Results: In the present study, we found that wogonin enhanced the cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin; the drug combination resulted in strong synergistic inhibition of the cell viability in BGC-823 cells and in a zebrafish xenograft model. Interestingly, the combined treatment of wogonin and oxaliplatin modulated the expression of phospho-JNK (Thr183/Tyr185), phospho-ULK1 (Ser555) and the formation of LC3II. Confocal imaging data consistently showed that wogonin exacerbates the oxaliplatin-induced dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi m) and formation of peroxynitrite in BGC-823 cells. Moreover, wogonin allows a reduction in oxaliplatin dose when they are combined; therefore, it is a relevant strategy for reducing the side effects of oxaliplatin while achieving the same response.Conclusion: These results suggest that wogonin can be a potential therapeutic candidate for enhancing the efficacy of oxaliplatin in gastric cancer treatment.
