Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were POxylated with fluorescent oligomers, synthesized in supercritical CO2, and conjugated with a laminin fragment. Particle design strongly impacts on probes uptake by the A549 cell line.

Currently, epigenetic changes are considered to be one of the most important factors in the incidence of cancer and its metastasis to various tissues. It has been shown that CD44v6 and Nm23-H1 genes play a crucial role in the metastasis of various cancers. However, no study has been done on the effect of epigenetic factors on the expression of CD44v6 and Nm23-H1 genes in the lung cancer cell line, A549.Therefore, the present study investigated the role of a histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid, on the expression of CD44v6 and Nm23-H1 genes and proteins in the A549 cell line. In this study, the A549 cell line was treated with valproic acid at concentrations of 2.2 mM, 4.5 mM, and 9 mM. We then investigated the expression of CD44v6 and Nm23-H1 genes and proteins, as well as the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes and caspase-3 activity. The results showed that valproic acid significantly decreased the expression of CD44v6 gene and protein and MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes, but increased the expression of Nm23H1 gene and protein and the activity of caspase-3 (p˂ 0.05). Our results showed that histone deacetylases affected the expression of CD44v6, Nm23-H1, MMP-2, and MMP-9, which are involved in metastasis. Therefore, the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors can be effective in the suppression of metastases and the treatment of lung cancer.

A novel hybrid composite, namely {[VIV+PMo11O40]⊂[β-CD]} which shows the high percent of apoptosis of MTT assay of A549 cell line (lung cancer) in different concentrations. The composite has been characterized using techniques such as FT-IR, EPR, SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction. The anticancer (lung cancer A549 cell line) was investigated using direct microscopic observations for drug treated cell line and IC50 value of 1.93. The apoptosis of 45.37 % cell death in cell line of minimum concentration (3.12 μg/mL) shows the good viability of β-CD-POM against lung cancer A549 cell line.

Abstract Background and Purpose: Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have led to dramatic change in the treatment of lung cancer, however, the overall 5-year survival rate of lung cancer patients is still suboptimal. It is important to exploit new potential of molecularly targeted therapies. High-frequency somatic mutations in KEAP1/NRF2 (27.9%) have been identified in lung squamous cell carcinoma. In this research, we explored the role of KEAP1 somatic mutations in the development of LSCC and whether a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2) inhibitor be potential to targetlung cancer carrying KEAP1/NRF2 mutations. Methods: Lung cancer cell lines A549 and H460 with loss-of-function mutations in KEAP1 stably transfected with wild-type (WT) KEAP1 or somatic mutations in KEAP1 were used to investigate the functions of somatic mutations in KEAP1 . Flow cytometry, plate clone formation experiments, and scratch tests were used to examine reactive oxygen species, proliferation, and migration of these cell lines. Results: The expression of NRF2 and its target genes increased , and tumor cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth were accelerated in A549 and H460 cells stably transfected with KEAP1 mutants compared to control cells with a loss-of-function KEAP1 mutation and stably transfected with WT KEAP1 in both in vitro and in vivo studies. The proliferation of A549 cell line trasfected with the R320Q KEAP1 mutant was Inhibited more apparent than that of the A549 cell line trasfected with WT KEAP1 after treatment with NRF2 inhibitor ML385. Conclusion : Somatic mutations of KEAP1 identified from patients with LSCC likely promote tumorigenesis mediated by activation of the KEAP1/NRF2 antioxidant stress response pathway. NRF2 inhibition with ML385 could inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells with KEAP1 mutation.
