Mesothelioma is a highly lethal cancer developing in the lung, heart, and abdominal membranes. Zingerone, a capsaicin-like bioactive compound, has been shown to have anticancer properties. Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is an ion channel involving in the cytotoxicity of capsaicin. In the present study, we aimed at determining the cytotoxicity of zingerone on a mesothelioma cell line and to evaluate the role of TRPV1 in this effect. For this purpose, H2452 was used as the mesothelioma cell line and MTS was performed to calculate zingerone cytotoxicity. Moreover, TRPV1 was inhibited by capsazepeine while TRPV1 production was reduced through shRNA treatment. Besides, wound healing and clonogenic assays were performed to measure the migration and colony forming abilities, respectively. As a result, IC₅₀ value of zingerone was calculated as 11.49 mM. Capsazepine treatment or lowered TRPV1 gene expression did not appear to affect zingerone cytotoxicity (p > 0.05) even though the migration rate and colony forming abilities of the zingerone treated cells decreased significantly compared to the control (p < 0.05). Therefore, we concluded that zingerone was less cytotoxic to H2452 cells than the most cancer types and TRPV1 did not seem to have a role in its cytotoxicity.
