Abstract
Dasatinib-related resistance frequently occurs and may lead to the failure of chemotherapy; thus, dose interruptions are necessary. Cannabidiol (CBD) has potential for integration with orthodox cancer care. In this study, we explored the combination effect of CBD and dasatinib on A549 cells. CBD in combination with dasatinib could induce significant synergistic apoptosis in vitro (ZIP > 10) and in vivo. The combination of CBD and low-dose dasatinib exhibited antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects through up-regulation of caspase-3 and Bax, and down-regulation of Bcl-2 in A549 cells. The xenograft mouse model suggested that the combination was more efficient and safer. In short, CBD and low-dose dasatinib exhibited a synergistic effect on anticancer by targeting the SRC/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of lung cancer.
