We examined its inhibitory effects on human non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) A549 cells. The an-tiproliferative effect of alantolactone on A549 cells was investigated via MTT[3′-(4,5dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay and its apoptosis-inducing effect was determined by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry. We found that alantolactone significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells and induced morphological changes typical for apoptosis. Flow cytometry analysis indicates dose-dependent cell cycle retardation at G0/G1 and S stages. The results indicate that alantolactone could be an attractive small-molecular natural compound for further development as a therapeutic drug against NSCLC.展开更多

The research on enhancing the efficacy of therapy for lung cancer is significant. A resent research found that as a subunit of ESCRT-III, CHMP4C functioned to retard abscission timing to coordinate midbody resolution and prevent accumulation of DNA damage in the abscission checkpoint through phosphorylated by AuroraB. In the current study, we evaluated the possible mechanism of the effects of CHMP4C inhibition on cell cycle and cell survival in A549 cells. We found that CHMP4C knockdown caused lagging S phase in cell cycle through enhancing the phosphorylation of Rb, raising the expression of cyclin B1-cdc2 and suppressing the activation of cyclin A. Meanwhile, CHMP4Cdeletion depressed cell survival via decreasing cell viability and increasing caspase 3/7 activity. This study may promote new significant reference and advance for the mechanism underlying specific function of CHMP4C as well as further research on enhancing therapy effect on non-small lung cancer.展开更多

Methods: Infrared spectroscopy method is a qualitative test that was performed to ensure the existence of the phytochemicals providing the antioxidant activity through the presence of the hydroxyl group(-OH). The viability of A549 cell line and normal MCs was tested using the neutral red uptake, Clonogenic survival, XTT and Cell migration assays. Results: Our results showed that this combination firstly led to a greater decrease in the viability of cells comparing to those treated with chemotherapy drugs alone, and secondly led to a significant reduction in cell migration. Conclusions: These data suggest a synergistic effect between the pomegranate and cisplatin which makes probably this combination a powerful option for treating lung adenocarcinoma and in parallel minimizing the systemic side effects.展开更多

Although the percentages of T3, T4, and T8 positive cells in rIL-2-activated cells did not differ significantly from those of control cells in vitro, the former showed stronger cytotoxicity than control cells to PG tumor cells in vitro. In vivo, LAK cells completely inhibited the growth of PG tumor in nude mice, whereas PBMC control cells were to be of no effect. The anti-tumor effect of human LAK cells in nude mice may offer a useful model to study the role of human LAK cells against human tumor in vivo.展开更多

However, the possible effect of rh-Endostatin in reversing DDP-resistance in A549/DDP cells and the mechanism are needed to be investigated. Methods: Lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 and its DDP-resistant cell line A549/DDP were treated with DDP and/or recombinant human Endostatin. Difference in drug resistance was analyzed between different regi- mens and between different cell lines after a 72 h-treatment in vitro. And below the non-cytotoxic concentration of rh-End- ostatin, the possibility of rh-Endostatin in reversing DDP-resistance in A549/DDP was evaluated. The resistance protein which was detected in the study included P glycoprotein (P-gp) and topoisomerase II (Topo-II). Results: Rh-Endostatin below 400 IJg/mL showed no cytotoxicity in either A549 or A549/DDP after 72 h-treatment with it. The inhibited concentration of 50% (IC50) observed for DDP was (0.79 _+ 0.05) IJg/mL in A549 and (13.2 + 1.1) in A549/DDP respectively. IC50 was reduced to 2.57 + 0.05 #g/mL in A549/DDP treated by rh-Endostatin below the non-cytotoxic concentrations in combination with DDP, with a reversal fold (RF) of 5.14 and a relative reversal rate of 85.6%. Apoptotic rates were 2.01%, 13.47% and 29.26% re- spectively for cells treated with rh-Endostain, DDP, and the combination. The rate of the A549/DDP control group was 0.99%. The expression level of P-gp or Topo-II was higher in A549/DDP cells than in A549 cells. Rh-Endostatin may partially reverse DDP-resistance in A549/DDP cells in vitro, with a probable mechanism related to lowering expression of P-gp and Topo-II. Conclusien: Rh-Endostatin of non-cytotoxic dose partially reversed cisptatin resistance in cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP. Rh-Endostatin reversed the resistance of A549/DDP cells to DDP, which may be related to decreased protein expression of P-gp and Topo-II in A549/DDP cells.展开更多

Methods : Cell growth inhibition of paclitaxel on A549 cells was analyzed by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was detected by DNA cytofluorometry, Hoechst33258 staining when treated with paclitaxel for 48 hours. Meanwhile, Cell cycle and apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were studied by Western Blot. Results: Paclitaxel inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a time-and dose-dependant manner. Hoechst33258 staining indicated that apoptosis was induced by paclitaxel. After treated for 48 hours, cell apoptosis rates of 25 nmo1/L, 50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L paclitaxel groups were 11.52 ± 1.94% ,17.73 ±2.53%, and 29.32 ±5.51% respectively, which were significantly higher than those of control group 5.88 ±1.07%(all P 〈 0.01 ), and apoptosis rate increased in dose-dependant manner. Meanwhile, G2/M stage cell percentage of 25 nmol/L, 50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L paclitaxel groups were 42.52 ± 6.25%, 40.46 ± 5.81%, and 35.34 ±6.17% respectively,which were significantly higher than that of control group 22.32 ± 3.30%(all P 〈 0.01 ); Western blot showed that paclitaxel increased the expression of Bax and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 in dose-dependant manner. Conclusion: Paclitaxel can inhibit A549 cell proliferation in a time-and dose-dependant manner. Its mechanism may be related to arresting cell cycle in G2/M stage and induce cell apoptosis by up-modulating Bax expression and down-modulating Bcl-2 expression.展开更多

Observed and compared the expression of the therapeutic effect[including cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA50)], angiogenesis[including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-1 alpha)], tumor cell proliferation[including insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor receptor -7 (IGFBP-7)] and migration[including high mobility group protein AT-hook2 (HMGA2) and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1)]in two groups.Results: The two groups showed significant changes in the therapeutic effect, angiogenesis, proliferation and migration of tumor cells. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in all levels between the two groups. After treatment, the levels of CYFRA21-1, CEA, CA50, VEGF, HIF-1a, IGF-1, HMGA2 and HMGB1 in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, while the levels of IGFBP-7 were significantly higher than those before treatment. After treatment, the levels of CYFRA21-1, CEA, CA50, VEGF, HIF-1a, IGF-1, HMGA2 and HMGB1 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the levels of IGFBP-7 were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusions: Recombinant human endostatin can enhance the therapeutic effect of non-small cell lung cancer patients, reduce angiogenesis, inhibit tumor cell proliferation and migration.展开更多

Methods Cells were treated with 40 μmol/L of the ppo3 a, ppo3 b, ppo3 i, and 0.1% DMSO(control) for 48 hours, respectively. Apoptosis was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining assay in H322 and A549 cells. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry analysis in A549 cell. LC3-II, p53, and heat shock protein(HSP) 70 protein levels were detected by Western blotting in A549 cells treated with ppo3 b for 48 hours. The morphology and viability of HUVEC were observed by inverted microscope and sulforhodamine B(SRB) assay. Results Ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i significantly induced apoptosis in H322 and A549 cells. A strong G1-phase arrest was concomitant with the growth inhibitory effect on A549 cells. Ppo3 b effectively elevated the p53 protein level, but significantly reduced the HSP70 protein level. There were no significantly inhibitory effect on the morphology and viability of HUVEC when treated with ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i. Conclusions ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i could inhibit H322 proliferation through apoptosis and inhibit A549 through apoptosis and G1-phase arrest. The protein p53 and HSP70 might involve in the inhibition effects. These derivatives might be a clue to find effective and safe drug for lung cancers.展开更多

文摘Objective To explore the inhibition mechanism and safety of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-one derivatives against proliferation of human lung cancer A549 cells, H322 cells, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC). Methods Cells were treated with 40 μmol/L of the ppo3 a, ppo3 b, ppo3 i, and 0.1% DMSO(control) for 48 hours, respectively. Apoptosis was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining assay in H322 and A549 cells. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry analysis in A549 cell. LC3-II, p53, and heat shock protein(HSP) 70 protein levels were detected by Western blotting in A549 cells treated with ppo3 b for 48 hours. The morphology and viability of HUVEC were observed by inverted microscope and sulforhodamine B(SRB) assay. Results Ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i significantly induced apoptosis in H322 and A549 cells. A strong G1-phase arrest was concomitant with the growth inhibitory effect on A549 cells. Ppo3 b effectively elevated the p53 protein level, but significantly reduced the HSP70 protein level. There were no significantly inhibitory effect on the morphology and viability of HUVEC when treated with ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i. Conclusions ppo3 a, ppo3 b, and ppo3 i could inhibit H322 proliferation through apoptosis and inhibit A549 through apoptosis and G1-phase arrest. The protein p53 and HSP70 might involve in the inhibition effects. These derivatives might be a clue to find effective and safe drug for lung cancers.
文摘Lung cancer is one of the serious threats to human health and life of malignant diseases, on a global scale; it has become one of the major lung cancer deaths. Due to the growth of the tumor and the main reason is that apoptosis is inhibited, therefore, it can induce apoptosis in lung cancer cells that is an important measure for the treatment of lung cancer, which is one of the effective means to reduce lung cancer mortality. In this paper, A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line, for example, has the use of chemical genetics of these emerging technological platforms, research pravastatin on apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 intervention, while providing a theoretical basis for the development of new lung cancer therapy.
