Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Combination of drugs targeting independent signaling pathways would effectively block the proliferation of cancer cells with lower concentrations and stronger synergy effects. Dasatinib, a multi-targeted protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting BCR-ABL and kinases of SRC family, has been successfully applied in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). BMS-754807, an inhibitor targeting the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-IR) and insulin receptor (IR) family kinases, has been in phase I development for the treatment of a variety of human cancers. Herein, we demonstrated that dasatinib in combination with BMS-754807 inhibited lung cancer cell growth, while induced autophagy as well as cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Dasatinib in combination with BMS-754807 suppressed the expression of cell cycle marker proteins, Rb, p-Rb, CDK4, CDK6 and Cyclin D1, and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Dasatinib in combination with BMS-754807 induced autophagy in lung cancer cells, evidenced by the upregulation of LC3B II and beclin-1, the downregulation of LC3B I and SQSTM1/p62, and the autophagic flux observed with a confocal fluorescence microscopy. Furthermore, dasatinib (18 mg/kg) in combination with BMS-754807 (18 mg/kg) inhibited the growth of tumors in NCI-H3255 xenografts without changing the bodyweight. Overall, our results suggest that dasatinib in combination with BMS-754807 inhibits the lung cancer cell proliferation in vitro and tumor growth in vitro, which indicates promising evidence for the application of the drug combination in lung cancer therapy.
