The purpose of this study was to examine pazopanib/topotecan combination activity vs. pazopanib monotherapy on anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cells. Proliferation analyses were performed on ATC cell lines administered for 72 h with pazopanib and topotecan alone and to their simultaneous combination. Pazopanib and topotecan produced a strong synergism on ATC cells, calculated by the combination index, increasing the intracellular concentrations of topotecan lactone measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Furthermore, a significantly decrease of the gene expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), and colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) was presented in combination-treated ATC cells by real time PCR tests. In summary, the simultaneous association of pazopanib and topotecan established a highly synergistic ATC antiproliferative effect, suggesting a new possibility to translate this schedule into clinical trials.
