    Samenvatting

    The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is highly effective against certain types of cancer in the clinic and prevents colon cancer cell proliferation in vitro. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), have shown activity against colon cancer cells. The aims of this study were to determine whether the combination of aspirin with sorafenib has enhanced anti-proliferative effects and increases recombinant human tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (rhTRAIL)-induced apoptosis in the human SW948, Lovo, Colo205, Colo320, Caco-2 and HCT116 colon cancer cell lines. In four cell lines, aspirin strongly stimulated the anti-proliferative effects of sorafenib (similar to four-fold enhancement) by inducing cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, combining low doses of aspirin (
