Methods: Twenty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups: saline, and 0.66, 3.30 and 16.50 g/kg of YFHXG groups, the saline and different concentrations of YFHXG were given twice daily for 7 days, respectively. Serum-pharmacology method was used in the preparation of YFHXG serum. Tissue block anchorage was employed in the primary culture of rat PASMCs. The PASMCs were randomly divided into normoxia group, hypoxia group, and hypoxia+YFHXG group (0.66, 3.30 and 16.50 g/kg doses of YFHXG-treated serum groups, exposed to hypoxic condition). PASMCs in normoxia and hypoxia group were cultured with saline serum, hypoxia+YFHXG groups were cultured with different concentrations of YFHXG serum. Cell viability was assessed with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell cycle was analyzed using flow cytometry. In addition, hypoxia inducible factor-l-alpha (HIF-1α) protein expression was evaluated by immunocytochemistry analysis, the concentration of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+ were determined by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Results: MTT assay and flow cytometry showed that hypoxia could directly activate the proliferation of PASMCs, while YFHXG dose-dependently inhibited hypoxia-induced proliferation of rat PASMCs. Immunocytochemistry showed that hypoxia enhanced HIF-1α protein expression, and LSCM showed that hypoxia significantly increased intracellular ROS and Ca2., while YFHXG decreased the expression of HIF- 1α and attenuated the hypoxia-induced increase in intracellular concentration of ROS and Ca2+. Conclusions: YFHXG could inhibit hypoxia-induced proliferation of rat PASMCs, which may decrease pulmonary arterial pressure and vascular remodeling. The anti-hypoxia effect of YFHXG may be explained by its regulation of HIF- 1 α expression and of the levels of intracellular ROS and Ca2+.展开更多

(2) The metastasis rate was 23.52% in Group A, 20.00% in Group B and 35.71% in Group C respectively after treatment. (3) The 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year survival rate were 73.09%, 32.01%, 13.18% and 13.18% in Group A, 71.85%, 46.35%, 29.19% and 23.35% in Group B and 37.61%, 13.67%, 9.7% and 0% in Group C. The symptoms were improved, and Karnofsky score was elevated in Group A and B. Conclusion: YFKLY could increase survival rate and quality of life, decrease metastasis rate, and enhance the immune function in NSCLC patients.展开更多
