Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Forsythia suspensa ethanol extract on the proliferation， migration and invasion of lung cancer cells NCI-H226. METHODS As research objects， lung cancer cells NCI-H226 were divided into control group， F. suspensa ethanol extract low-， medium- and high-concentration groups （5， 10， 20 mg/mL）， activator group [10 mg/mL F. suspensa ethanol extract+0.5 μmol/L nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB） signaling pathway activator PMA]， inhibitor group （10 mg/mL F. suspensa ethanol extract+10 μmol/L NF-κB signaling pathway inhibitor BAY 11-7082） and positive control group （20 μg/mL cisplatin）. Except for the control group of cells without intervention， all other groups of cells were cultured with corresponding drugs for 24 hours； the proliferation， migration and invasion of cells were all detected， and the proliferation rate， migration rate， and the number of invading cells were also calculated； protein expressions of NF-κB p65， NF-κB inhibitory protein α （IκBα）， phosphorylated NF-κB p65 （p-NF-κB p65） and phosphorylated IκBα （p-IκBα） were determined. RESULTS Compared with control group， the proliferation rate， migration rate， and the number of invading cells as well as the protein expressions of p- IκBα and p-NF-κB p65 were decreased significantly in F. suspensa ethanol extract groups and positive control group （P＜0.05）. Compared with F. suspensa ethanol extract medium-concentration group， the proliferation rate， migration rate， and the number of invading cells as well as above protein expressions were all decreased significantly in inhibitor group （P＜0.05）， while those of activator group were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS F. suspensa ethanol extract can inhibit the proliferation， migration and invasion of lung cancer cells NCI-H226， and the mechanism of which may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway.
