ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To determine the effect of compound Rhizoma Smilacinus granules (CRSG) on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax gene in A549 cell lines, and to explore the mechanism of CRSG on non-small cell lung cancers.@*METHODS@#The SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: one was administrated with CRSG (n=15), and the other with the same dose of distilled water (n=15). The herbage-containing serum was obtained 2 hours after the 6th treatment. non-small lung cancer A549 cell lines were randomly divided into CRSG group, diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) group and normal control group, which were cultivated with 10% herbage-containing serum, DDP (3g/mL), and 10% SD rats serum respectively. The cultivated cells were collected after 48 hours, and then RT-PCR technique was used to determine the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA.@*RESULTS@#Compared with the normal control group after 48 h, the level of Bcl-2 mRNA and the rate of Bc-2/Bax decreased in the CRSG group and the DDP group, and the level of Bax mRNA increased with significant difference (P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#non-small cell lung cancer A549 cell lines have a high level of Bcl-2 mRNA and a low level of Bax mRNA. CRSG can significantly down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and the rate of Bc-2/Bax, and obviously up-regulate the expression of Bax mRNA, which probably is one of the molecular mechanisms of CRSG in inhibiting the growth of non-small cell lung cancers.
