Some lung cancer patients correlate with a gas of radon besides smoking. To search for common chromosomal aberrations in lung cancer cell lines established from patients induced by different factors, a combined approach of chromosome sorting, forward and reverse chromosome painting was used to characterize karyotypes of two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines： A549 and GLC-82 with the latter line derived from a patient who has suffered long-term exposure to environmental radon gas pollution. The chromosome painting results revealed that complex chromosomal rearrangements occurred in these two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. Thirteen and twenty-four abnormal chromosomes were identified An A549 and GLC-82 cell lines, respectively. Almost half of abnormal chromosomes in these two cell lines were formed by non-reciprocal translocations, the others were derived from deletions and duplication/or amplification in some chromosomal regions. Furthermore, two apparently common breakpoints, HSA8q24 and 12q14 were found in these two lung cancer cell lines.展开更多

To provide experimental proof for clinical combination application. Methods： Using intermittent administration of high dose VCR, human lung adenocarcinoma sensitive cell line （A549/S） was induced to VCR- resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line （A549NCR）. MTT assay was adapted for examing the 50% inhibition （IC50） value of DDP and VCR on A549/S and A549/VCR when quercetin combined with DDP and VCR respectively. Results： IC50 of DDP on A549/S and A549/VCR was 10.18 and 12.35 mg/L, and the IC50 of VCR on the two cell lines was 1.21 and 12.77 rag/L, respectively. The resistance fold of A549/VCR on VCR and DDP was 10.55 and 121, respectively. When quercetin at concentration of 50, 100 and 200 pmol/L in combination with DDP and VCR respectively, the IC50 of DDP and VCR on A549/S and A549/VCR were obvious decreased （P 〈 0.05 - P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： The experiment results suggested that quercetin could increase the chemosensitivity and partly revise the resistance of A549NCR.展开更多

MTT assay was performed to detect the effect of gefitinib, NVP-BKM120, NVP-BKM120 plus 1 ~unol/L gefitinib on growth of H1975 cells. The distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis rate of H1975 cells were examined by using flow cytometry. The mRNA expression levels of tumor-related genes such as HIFI-a, VEGF and MMP9 were detected by using real-time quantitative PCR. Western blotting was used to detect the ex- pression level of phosphorylated proteins in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, such as Ser473-p-AKT, Ser235/236-p-S6 and Thr70-p-4E-BP1, as well as total AKT, $6 and 4E-BP1. The results showed that the NVP-BKM120 could inhibit the growth of H1975 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and H1975 cells were more sensitive to NVP-BKM120 than gefitinib （IC50：1.385 vs. 15.09 ~mol/L respec- tively）, whereas combination of NVP-BKM120 and gefitinib （1 ~trnol/L） did not show more obvious ef- fect than NVP-BKM120 used alone on inhibition of cell growth （P〉0.05）. NVP-BKM120 （1 ~unol/L） increased the proportion ofH1975 cells in G0~G1 phase and the effect was concentration-dependent, and 2 ~maol/L NVP-BKM120 promoted apoptosis ofH1975 cells. There was no significant difference in the proportion of H1975 cells in G0-G1 phase and apoptosis rate between NVP-BKM120-treated alone group and NVP-BKM120 plus genfitinib （1 ~unol/L）-treated group or between DMSO-treated control group and gefitinib （1 Ixmol/L）-treated alone group （P〉0.05 for all）. It was also found that the mRNA expression levels of these genes were down-regulated by NVP-BKM120 （1 ~unol/L）, and NVP-BKM120 （1 ~tmol/L） or NVP-BKM120 （1 pmol/L） plus gefitinib （1 ~tmol/L） obviously inhibited the activation of Akt, $6 and 4E-BP1 as compared with control group, but single use of gefitinib （1 pmol/L） exerted no significant effect. These data suggested that NVP-BKM120 can overcome gefitinib resistance in H1975 cells, and the combination of NVP-BKM120 and gefitinib did not have additive or synergistic effects. It was also concluded that NVP-BKM120 could overcome the acquired resistance to gefitinib by down-regulating the phosphorylated protein in PI3K/AKT signal pathways in H1975 cells, but it could not enhance the sensitivity of H 1975 cells to gefitinib.展开更多
