Objective

To study the effects of Feiyanning Decoction, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 cells and their production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 induced by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).

Methods

A549 cells were incubated with rat serum containing Feiyanning Decoction at 15% for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively. The cell proliferation was examined by 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2, 4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, monosodium salt assay (WST-8). The production of IL-6 and IL-8 was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 48-hour treatment of reagents, and the expressions of IL-6 and IL-8 mRNAs were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. 

Results

Serum containing Feiyanning Decoction had obvious inhibitive functions in A549 cell proliferation after 48- and 72-treatment. TNF-α (1 μg/L) strongly induced the production of IL-6 and IL-8 as compared with the control serum in A549 cells, and the induced cytokine production was significantly suppressed by 15% serum containing Feiyanning Decoction (P<0.01). In addition, serum containing Feiyanning Decoction could inhibit the mRNA expressions of IL-6 and IL-8 (P<0.01).
Conclusion

Feiyanning Decoction can inhibit IL-6 and IL-8 production induced by TNF-α. It is therefore expected to be a new strategy for treating lung cancer.

Effects of serum containing Feiyanning Decoction on IL-6 and IL-8 levels induced by TNF-α in A549 cells Confluent cells were incubated for 48 h with or without 15% serum containing Feiyanning Decoction, or TNF-α (1 μg/L). Concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in supernatant were measured by ELISA. Bars represent $\bar{x}$±s (n=3). **P<0.01, vs TNF-α."

Figure 2

Effects of serum containing Feiyanning Decoction on IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA expressions in A549 cells After the treatment, RNA was extracted. Levels of cytokines and β-actin mRNAs were examined by RT-PCR. The three panels on left show the expression levels of IL-6, IL-8 and β-actin mRNAs; bar graphs at the right show the expression levels of IL-6 or IL-8 relative to those of β-actin. The experiments were performed in triplicate. The data were represented as $\bar{x}$±s (n=3). **P<0.01, vs TNF-α."
