Objective To investigate effects of vitamin K2 in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro. Methods Human hepatocellular carcinoma PLC/RAF/5 cells were cultured in vitro and exposed to vitamin K2 (10 μmol/L) and 5-FU (10 μg/mL) alone or in combination for 24 h. The cell proliferation, migration, and invasiveness were measured by CCK-8 assay, wound-scratch assay, and Matrigel invasion chamber assay, respectively. Results The abilities of proliferation, migration, and invasion of PLC/RAF/5 cells were significantly decreased after either alone vitamin K2 or 5-FU treatment (all P<0.05) as compared with the control cells, and above effects were further enhanced by the vitamin K2 in combination with 5-FU treatment as compared with either alone drug treatment (all P<0.05). Conclusion Combination use of vitamin K2 and 5-FU might be an effective method for inhibiting growth, migration, and invasiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.
