Abstract:
Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of Plumbagin against human large cell lung cancer cell line NL9980.Methods Plumbagin in different concentrations were set up to administrate NL9980 cell line.MTT test was performed to detect the inhibiting effects against tumor proliferation and IC50 concentration was identified.The influence of tumor apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry and the inhibiting effect against invasive ability was detected by Boyden chamber test.IC50 group and control group were set up and tumor cells were harvested 6 h,24 h and 48 h after administration.Realtime PCR was used to detect mRNA expression changes of bcl-2,bax,VEGF and CYCD1.Results MTT test showed obvious inhibiting effects of proliferation in NL9980 cell line and IC50 was 7.5 μmol/L.Plumbagin induced the apoptosis of tumor cells and showed a significant anti-invasive effect.Mean membrane-spanning cells were 161.59±47.32 and 26.58±9.07 in control group and IC50 group correspondingly.Down-regulations of bcl-2,VEGF and CYCD1 were detected and expression of bax gene increased.The effect of Plumbagin showed obvious time dependance (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Plumbagin has displayed the powerful antitumor effects against NL9980 cell line and it might work via multiple pathways.Plumbagin exhibits the prospect of being an effective drug against large cell lung cancer.
