Apotosis-inducing effect of Tongbu-Xiaoji decoction on A549 cells / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect of the Tongbu-Xiaoji decoction on A549 cells.Methods A549 cell lines were cultured with normal serum and different concentration of serum containing Tongbu-Xiaoji decoction.The cells were stained with PI and Annexin V,and were evaluated by flowcytometry.Resnlts A549 cells were treated by Tongbu-Xiaoji decoction with low、median and high dose medicated serum,the rate of apoptosis in 24h were (5.92±2.04)％,(12.57±1.96)％,and (16.51±1.52)％respectively; the rate of apoptosis in 48h were (13.15±1.60)％,(26.42±2.30)％,and (31.47±2.08)％respectively and the rate of apoptosis in 72 h were (18.73 ± 1.89) ％,(31.72± 1.99) ％,and (36.92± 1.38) ％respectively,all were lower than compared with the model control group in 24 h were (0.40±0.08)％,48 h were (0.58± 0.16)％,72 h were (0.85 ± 0.13)％.Conclusion Tongbu-Xiaoji decoction has the apoptosis-inducing effect on A549 cells.
