Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of capsaicin on PGE2 concentration of IL-1β-induced human large cell carcinoma NCI-H460 cells,and further observe its effect on COX-2 and mPGES-1 so as to explore the possible mechanisms against non-small cell lung cancer.Methods NCI-H460 cells were cultured in vitro ;the effect of capsaicin in inhibiting NCI-H460 cells proliferation was observed.The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50 ) was measured by MTT assay.IL-1βstimulation method was used to construct inflammation model,and the effects of capsaicin on COX-2 activity and PGE2 concentration in NCI-H460 cells were measured by ELISA.The effects of capsaicin on COX-2 and mPGES-1 protein level in NCI-H460 cells were analyzed by Western blot;the effects of capsaicin on COX-2 mRNA and mPGES-1 mRNA expressions in NCI-H460 cells were analyzed by Real-time PCR. Results MTT assay results showed that the growth of NCI-H460 cells treated with capsaicin was significantly inhibited compared with the control group (P <0.05 or P <0.01 ).Capsaicin could significantly decrease COX-2 activity and PGE2 concentration in NCI-H460 cells,and significantly decrease COX-2,mPGES-1 protein levels as well as COX-2,mPGES-1 mRNA expressions in NCI-H460 cells in a dose-dependent manner compared with the control group (P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Capsaicin inhibits the release of PGE2 by downregulating COX-2 and mPGES-1 mRNA expressions in NCI-H460 cells,which may be one mechanism of its effect against non-small cell lung cancer.
