Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Jiedu Fuzheng decoction (JFD) in non-small cell lung Cancer (NSCLC) and its potential therapeutic mechanism.

Results: We prepared JFD-medicated serum from rats and treated NSCLC cells (A549 and NCI-H1650) with 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/mL JFD-medicated serum. CCK-8 and colony formation assays were used to detect cell proliferation. Transwell assays showed that JFD attenuated cell migration and invasion. JFD and SKL2001 (Wnt/β-catenin activator) were simultaneously used to treat NSCLC cells to verify that JFD regulated the biological behavior of NSCLC via Wnt/β-catenin signaling. It was found that 2 mg/mL JFD had the most significant effect on the activity of NSCLC cells. JFD attenuated proliferation and metastasis but increased the proportion of apoptotic cells. At the same time, JFD downregulated N-Cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin protein expression in Cancer cells. SKL2001 could restore the improvement of JFD on proliferation, metastasis and Apoptosis.

Conclusion: This study confirmed that JFD suppressed the occurrence and development of NSCLC by regulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling and provided a novel therapeutic scheme for NSCLC.
