BACKGROUNDLung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in mankind. To exploit antitumor drug from plant has been a highlight at home and abroad. The aim of this study is to investigate the apoptosis of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP induced by ginsenoside Rh₂ (G-Rh₂) and to explore its possible molecular mechanism.
METHODSThe growth inhibition effect of G-Rh₂ on A549/DDP cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Cell cycle analysis, apoptosis index and tumor related gene expression were detected by flow cytometry. The changes of sApo-1/Fas level in the cell culture supernatant were determined by ELISA method.
RESULTS(1) G-Rh₂ significantly inhibited the growth of A549/DDP cells in a dose-time-de-pendent manner. (2) After 24 hours' treatment with G-Rh₂, apoptosis index of trial group was significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.001). The proportion of cells in G0/G1 phase in trial group was much higher than that in control group (P < 0.01), while proportion in S phase in trial group was markedly lower than that in control group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in proportion in G2/M phase between trial group and control group (P > 0.05). (3) The positive expression rate of p53 and Fas in trial group was significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.001), while the positive expression rate of Bcl-2 in trial group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.001). (4) The level of sApo-1/Fas in A549/DDP cell culture supernatant in trial group was remarkably lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSG-Rh₂ can induce the apoptosis of A549/DDP cells. Its molecular mechanism may be up-regulating expression of p53 and Fas and down-regulating expression of Bcl-2.

BACKGROUNDThe excision repair cross-complementing gene 1 (ERCC1), which is important in the repair of cisplatin-DNA adducts, is reported to be related to cisplatin resistance in tumor cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of low-dose cisplatin on expression of ERCC1 gene and to confirm the correlation between ERCC1 and cisplatin resistance in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.
METHODSA549 and A549/DDP cell lines were treated with 10 μmol/L cisplatin for 12, 24, 48 and 72 h, or treated with 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L cisplatin for 24 h respectively. Then the expression of ERCC1 mRNA and protein was measured by RT-PCR and immunocytohistology SABC assay respectively. The resistance of A549/DDP cells was measured by MTT assay.
RESULTSAfter treating with 10 μmol/L cisplatin for 12 h, up-regulation of ERCC1 mRNA and protein was observed in A549 cells, then reached the peak levels in 72 h group. After treating with 5 μmol/L cisplatin for 24 h, up-regulation of ERCC1 mRNA and protein was observed in A549 cells, and when treated with 20 μmol/L cisplatin for 24 h, the ERCC1 mRNA and protein reached the peak levels. Comparing with the parental cells, ERCC1 expression increased obviously in A549/DDP cells, which were established by continuous low-dose cisplatin treatment.
CONCLUSIONSUp-regulation of ERCC1 expression can be induced by low-dose cisplatin in human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, and ECRR1 may play roles in cisplatin resistance.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the evaluation value of preoperative peripheral blood lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) on the prognosis of patients with stage III colon cancer undergoing radical resection and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
METHODS:
Electronic medical record were retrospectively retrived for stage III colon cancer patients who underwent radical surgery at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from December 2007 to December 2013. Inclusion criteria were pathologically comfirmed colon adenocarcinoma, complete clinicopathological data, and postoperative XELOX (oxaliplatin + capecitabine) chemotherapy with follow-up of at least 3 months. Patients with neoadjuvant anti-tumor therapy, infectious disease, other malignant tumors and death of non-tumor causes within 3 months after operation were excluded. A total of 258 patients were included in this retrospective cohort study, including 146 males and 112 females with median age of 55 (22 to 85) years. Tumors of 100(38.8%) patients were located in the right hemicolon, and of 158 (61.2%) in the left hemicolon. Tumors of 194(75.2%) patients were highly and moderately differentiated, and of 64 (24.8%) were poorly differentiated. According to the TNM tumor pathological stage of AJCC 7th edition, 196 (76.0%) patients were stage IIIA to IIIB, and 62(24.0%) patients were stage IIIC. The median preoperative CEA was 3.8 (0.3 to 287.5) μg /L and the median cycle of the adjuvant chemotherapy was 6 (1 to 8). The cut-off value of preoperative LMR in prediction of 3-year overall survival (OS) outcome was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. All patients were divided into low LMR group and high LMR group according to the critical value. Clinicopathological characteristics between the two groups were compared by using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. The 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival rate were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between two groups were assessed with the log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed through Cox regression model.
RESULTS:
ROC curve showed that the cut-off value of preoperative LMR in predicting 3-year overall survival was 4.29. Then 143 patients were divided into low LMR group (LMR<4.29) and 115 patients into high LMR group (LMR ≥ 4.29). Compared with high LMR group, the low LMR group presented higher proportions of male [62.2%(89/143) vs. 50.4%(58/115), χ²=4.167, P=0.041], right hemicolon cancer [44.8% (64/143) vs. 31.3% (36/115), χ²=4.858, P=0.028], and the largest tumor diameter>4 cm [60.1% (86/143) vs. 33.0% (38/115), χ²=18.748, P<0.001]. During a median follow-up of 46.0 (range, 3.0 to 74.0) months, 3-year disease-free survival rate was 83.8% in high LMR group and 78.9% in low LMR group, which was not significantly different (P=0.210). While 3-year overall survival rate in low LMR group was significant lower than that in high LMR group (86.6% vs. 97.2%, P=0.018). Univariate analysis revealed that preoperative low LMR (HR=2.841, 95%CI: 1.146 to 7.043, P=0.024), right hemicolon cancer (HR=2.865, 95%CI: 1.312 to 6.258, P=0.008) and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy≥6 cycles (HR=0.420, 95%CI: 0.188 to 0.935, P=0.034) were the risk factors for poor overall survival. Multivariate analysis identified that preoperative low LMR (HR=2.550, 95%CI: 1.024 to 6.347, P=0.004) and right hemicolon cancer (HR=2.611, 95%CI: 1.191 to 5.723, P=0.017) were the independent risk factors for overall survival.
CONCLUSIONS
Preoperative peripheral blood LMR level represents an effective prognostic predictor for patients with stage III colon cancer receiving radical therapy. Low LMR indicates the poor prognosis and such patients require aggressive postoperative treatment strategy.
