Naringenin inhibits migration,invasion, induces apoptosis in human lung cancer cells and arrests tumour progression in vitro

Lung cancer is one of the major cause for high-death rate all over the world, due to increased metastasize and difficulties in diagnosis. Naringenin is naturally occurring flavonoid found in various fruits including tomatoes, citrus fruit and figs. Naringenin is known to have several therapeutic effects including anti-atherogenic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anticancer and anti-mutagenic. The present study was aimed to analyse the naringenin induced anti-proliferative and apoptosis effects in human lung cancer cells. Cells were treated with various concentrations of naringenin (10, 100 & 200 µmol/L) for 48 hours. Cisplatin (20 µg/mL) was used as positive control. Cell viability, apoptosis, migration and mRNA, and protein expression of caspase-3, matrixmetallo proteinases-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were determined. The cell viability was 93.7 ± 7.5, 51.4 ± 4.4 and 32.1 ± 2.1 at 10, 100 and 200 µmol/L of naringenin respectively. Naringenin significantly increased apoptotic cells. The 100 and 200 µmol/L of naringenin significantly suppressed the larger wounds of cultured human cancer cells compared with the untreated lung cancer cells. Naringenin increased d the expression of caspase-3 and reduced the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Taking all these data together, it is suggested that the naringenin was effective against human lung cancer proliferation, migration and metastasis.

5-溴甲基-2(5H)-呋喃酮的生理活性初探

本文报道了原白头翁素衍生物5-溴甲基-2(5n)-呋喃酮的合成和抗癌活性及其抑制农作物病原菌活性的探讨结果,表明在5～20μg/mL范围内,5-溴甲基-2(5H)-呋喃酮对人肺癌A549细胞株有明显的抑制生长的作用;在50～200μg/mL范围内,其对玉米大斑病菌等的生长抑制率可达到95%以上.     

蛋白酪氨酸激酶抑制剂Genistein抑制肺癌细胞A549体外侵袭作用的研究

观察蛋白酪氨酸激酶抑制剂Genistein对人肺腺癌细胞株A549细胞侵袭能力的影响,探讨Genistein抑制肺癌细胞侵袭的可能机制。以不同浓度Genistein（20μmol/L和40μmol/L）作用于A549细胞3 d后,分别用基质胶侵袭模型、黏附基质分析、Transwell小室趋化运动模型、细胞骨架蛋白染色及RT-PCR法来研究药物处理后细胞侵袭、黏附、运动、聚合型骨架蛋白（F-actin）以及基质金属蛋白酶基因表达的改变。经Genistein处理后,A549细胞的F-actin聚合减少,侵袭能力明显下降,趋化运动能力降低,基质金属蛋白酶抑制剂（TIMP-1）基因相对表达量增加,但黏附率没有降低。Genistein可降低肺癌细胞的迁移、侵袭能力。F-actin聚合减少,TIMP-1的相对表达量增加,可能是Genistein抑制肺癌细胞侵袭的机制之一。     

Silence of lncRNA UCA1 rescues drug resistance of cisplatin to non–small-cell lung cancer cells

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) urogenital carcinoma antigen 1 (UCA1) on drug resistance in A549/DDP cell and explore its underlying mechanism. The inhibition rate and IC ₅₀ of DDP were detected in A549 and A549/DDP cells by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. The expression of lncRNA UCA1 was measured in A549 and A549/DDP cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expressions of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail were detected in A549 and A549/DDP cells by Western blot analysis. Results showed that the IC ₅₀ of DDP was 16.20 ± 2.27 μmol/L and 69.72 ± 4.83 μmol/L in A549 and A549/ DDP cells, respectively. Compared with the A549 group, the expressions of N-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail was significantly upregulated in A549/DDP group, but E-cadherin was significantly downregulated. Compared with the shCon group, the abundance of N-cadherin, vimentin, and Snail was significantly downregulated in short hairpin RNA UCA1 (shUCA1) group, while E-cadherin was significantly upregulated. Cell migration and invasion were significantly suppressed and IC ₅₀ was reversed to 16.20 ± 2.27 μmol/L in the shUCA1 group. Silencing lncRNA UCA1 inhibited the migration and invasion of A549/DDP cells and reversed the resistance of A549/DDP cells to DDP. The mechanism might be related to downregulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which will provide a new direction for the treatment of non–small-cell lung cancer with cisplatin.     

Selenious-β-lactoglobulin induces the apoptosis of human lung cancer A549 cells via an intrinsic mitochondrial pathway

In this study, the cytotoxic activity of selenious-β-lactoglobulin (Se-β-Lg) and the anticancer mechanism were investigated in human lung cancer A549 cells in vitro. MTT assay showed that Se-β-Lg at 200 μg/mL exhibited a significant suppression effect on A549 cells and the maximum inhibition rate reached 90% after 72 h treatment. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that 200 μg/mL of Se-β-Lg induced cell cycle arrest at G₀/G₁ phase. Cell apoptosis was induced via the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, Se-β-Lg suppressed the expression of Bcl-2 and improved the level of Bax, leading to the release of cytochrome c and a higher expression of caspase-3 in A549 cells. In summary, Se-β-Lg could induce apoptosis in A549 cells via an intrinsic mitochondrial pathway and it might serve as a potential therapeutic agent for human lung cancer.     

FIP-sch2, a new fungal immunomodulatory protein from Stachybotrys chlorohalonata,suppresses proliferation and migration in lung cancer cells

Fungal immunomodulatory protein (FIP)-sch2, an immunomodulatory protein identified in the ascomycete Stachybotrys chlorohalonata by a sequence similarity search, is a novel member of the FIP family. FIP-sch2 shares high sequence identity, structure, and evolutionary conservation with previously reported FIPs. It was satisfactorily expressed in Escherichia coli with a glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag and purified by GST-affinity magnetic beads. To characterize the direct antitumor effects, human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were treated with different concentrations of recombinant FIP (rFIP)-sch2 in vitro, and the results showed that rFIP-sch2 could reduce cell viability dose-dependently with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 9.48 μg/mL. Furthermore, rFIP-sch2 at 8 μg/mL could significantly induce apoptosis and interrupt migration in A549 cells. Notably, the antitumor effect of rFIP-sch2 was equivalent to that of rLZ-8 but was obviously increased compared to rFIP-fve. In addition, the exploration of the antitumor mechanism suggested that rFIP-sch2 induced lung cancer cell death by activating apoptosis and inhibiting migration. Our results indicated that rFIP-sch2 was a promising candidate for use in future cancer therapy.
