What are the effects of ropivacaine and lidocaine on apoptosis-related gene expression in osteosarcoma cells?
Label:chem
Topic
Apoptosis is a critical process in cancer therapy, and local anesthetics have been shown to influence apoptotic pathways in various cancer types.
Answer
Ropivacaine and lidocaine upregulate pro-apoptotic genes (BAX, Caspase-3, and Caspase-9) and downregulate anti-apoptotic genes (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in SaOS-2 cells. This gene expression profile supports the induction of apoptosis and the inhibition of invasive behavior.
