Clinical management of chondrosarcoma remains a challenging problem, largely due to the toxicity and resistance of this tumor to conventional chemotherapy. Programmed Cell Death 5 (PDCD5) is a protein that accelerates apoptosis in different cell types in response to various stimuli, and has been shown to be down-regulated in many cancer tissues. In this study, mRNA and protein levels of PDCD5 were found to be up-regulated in cisplatin-treated SW1353 chondrosarcoma cells compared with untreated cells. Recombinant human PDCD5 (rhPDCD5) was also shown to sensitize chondrosarcoma cells to cisplatin-based chemotherapy, with inhibition of cell growth and apoptosis detected both in vitro and in vivo. Increased expression of Bax and decreased expression of Bcl-2 were also observed, along with release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol. Additionally, cleavage of caspase-9 and caspase-3, as well as the cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), were detected, suggesting that sensitization of chondrosarcoma cells involves the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. In vivo, the treatment of a xenograft model of chondrosarcoma with rhPDCD5 and cisplatin significantly inhibited tumor cell proliferation and induced apoptosis compared to treatment with cisplatin alone. Overall, these data provide a theoretical basis for the administration of rhPDCD5 and cisplatin for the treatment of patients with chondrosarcoma.
