چکیده

The present study is to evaluate the effect of diphenyl difluoroketone (EF24), an analogue of curcumin, on energy metabolism and biological behavior of lung cancer A549 cells. Glut1 protein and mRNA expression levels were examined by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively. After EF24 treatment, glucose uptake and the rate of glycolysis were measured. In addition, transwell assay was used to determine the invasive ability of A549 cells. The proliferation ability of A549 cells was detected using MTT assay. Glut1 protein and mRNA expression in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues or normal lung tissues. EF24 treatment significantly down-regulated the expression of Glut1 in a dose-dependent manner in A549 cells. In addition, glucose uptake and the rate of glycolysis of A549 cells were also decreased by treatment with EF24. Invasion and proliferation of A549 cells were inhibited by treatment with EF24. The presents study demonstrates that EF24 exerts inhibitory effects on energy metabolism and biological behavior in A549 cells probably through down-regulation of Glut1 expression. EF24 can be a possible drug candidate for the treatment of lung cancer.

Long non-coding RNA FOXO1 inhibits lung cancer cell growth through down-regulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Objective(s): Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, which seriously threatens the health and life of the people. Recently, a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) termed lncFOXO1 was found and investigated in breast cancer. However, the effect of lncFOXO1 on lung cancer is still ambiguous. The current study aimed to uncover the functions of lncFOXO1 in l...

MiR-570 inhibits cell proliferation and glucose metabolism by targeting IRS1 and IRS2 in human chronic myelogenous leukemia

Objective(s): Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the accumulation of myeloid cells with a chromosomal translocation known as the Philadelphia chromosome. In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-570 in CML development. Materials and Methods: Expression of miR-570 in CML samples and cell lines was determined by qRT-PCR. Glucose upt...

Matrine inhibits diethylnitrosamine-induced HCC proliferation in rats through inducing apoptosis via p53, Bax-dependent caspase-3 activation pathway and down-regulating MLCK overexpression

The proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. The inhibiting effects of matrine on HCC cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. Since, apoptosis plays an important role in HCC cell proliferation. We examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tu...

Synergistic Effect of Subtoxic-dose Cisplatin and TRAIL to Mediate Apoptosis by Down-regulating Decoy Receptor 2 and Up-regulating Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Bax Expression on NCI-H460 and A549 Cells

Objective(s): Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can selectively induce apoptosis in tumor cells, more than half of tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibit TRAIL-resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether subtoxic-dose cisplatin and TRAIL could synergistically enhance apoptosis on NSCLC cells and investigate its under...
