Studies of icariin and pseudomonas jinanensis agent on anti-metastatic mechanism in vitro / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

AIM Mechanism of icariin (ICA) and pseudomonas jinanensis agent (PJA) on anti-metasta-sis of a highly metastatic human lung tumor cell line (PG) and the effect type of the combination of ICA,PJA were studied. METHODS PG cells were treated with ICA、PJA, or the combination of both in vitro. Adhesion assay, invasion assay, migration assay, flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemical straining were used. The effects of ICA and PJA combination were evaluated with Q method of Jin Zheng-Jun. RESULTS ICA、PJA could decrease PG cells adhesive ratio to laminin substrate in a time-dependent manner ( P
