Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Maiwei Dihuang decoction in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by using network pharmacology and LC-MS technology. METHODS The effective components in Maiwei Dihuang decoction were detected by liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Use the SuperPred database to collect the relevant targets of the active ingredients of Mai Wei Di Tang, and then collect the relevant targets of nonsmall cell lung cancer from GeneCards, DisgenNET and OMIM databases. On this basis, PPI network construction, GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway annotation analysis were carried out for target sites. Finally, AutoDock Vina is used for molecular docking. RESULTS We further screened 16 effective Chinese herbal compounds through LC-MS combined with ADME level. On this basis, we obtained 77 core targets through protein interaction network analysis. Through GO, KEGG analysis and molecular docking results, we finally screened out the potential targets of Maiwei Dihuang Decoction for NSCLC: TP53, STAT3, MAPK3. CONCLUSION Maiwei Dihuang decoction may play a role in the treatment of NSCLC by coregulating TP53/STAT3/MAPK3 signal pathway.

[PMID: 37716981 PMCID: PMC10504720 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01302-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Yi Fei Qing Hua Granules (YQG) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with the effects of inhibiting the proliferation of lung cancer cells. Luteolin is one of the active compounds of YQG. Luteolin is a common flavonoid extracted from natural herbs and it can promote cancer cells apoptosis has been reported. However, the underlying molecular mechanism and effects of luteolin on human lung cancer needs to be validated. METHODS Molecular docking, network pharmacology methods and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model were used to identify the active components of YQG and their possible mechanisms of action. Western blot analysis was used to measure AR expression in A549 cells. Cell migration assays were used to detect A549 cells proliferation transfected by AR plasmid and AR mutation plasmid, respectively. RESULTS TCMSP search results revealed that there are 182 active compounds in YQG, which correspond to 232 target genes. Sixty-one genes were overlapping genes in the 2 datasets of TCMSP and GeneCards. Through bioinformatics tagging of these overlapping genes, a total of 1,951 GO functional tagging analysis and 133 KEGG pathways were obtained. Through molecular docking technology and QSAR model verification, the multi-target active compound luteolin was screened out as one of the active components of YQG for in vitro verification. Androgen receptor (AR) was the hub protein with the highest docking score of luteolin. Western blot showed that luteolin could inhibit AR protein expression in lung cancer cell line A549. After the phosphorylation site of AR protein 877 was inactivated, the ability of luteolin to inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer cells was weakened. Luteolin significantly inhibited the growth of A549 xenogeneic tumors at day 25 and 28 and inhibited the expression of AR. CONCLUSION In this study, we have explored luteolin as one of the active components of YQG, and may inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells by decreasing the expression of AR and the regulation of phosphorylation at AR-binding sites.

Shenlingcao oral liquid for patients with non-small cell lung cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection: A multicenter randomized controlled trial. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 113:154723. [PMID: 36871476 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.154723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low quality of life (QoL) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after radical resection is a major global health issue. High-quality evidence for the effectiveness of Shenlingcao oral liquid (SOL) as a complementary treatment in this patients is lacking at present. PURPOSE To determine whether complementary SOL treatment in NSCLC patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy would yield greater improvements in QoL than chemotherapy alone. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a multicenter, randomized controlled trial of stages IIA-IIIA NSCLC patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy in seven hospitals. METHODS Using stratified blocks, participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive SOL combined with conventional chemotherapy or conventional chemotherapy alone. The primary outcome was the change in global QoL from baseline to the fourth chemotherapy cycle, and intention-to-treat analysis was applied with a mixed-effect model. Secondary outcomes were functional QoL, symptoms, and performance status scores at the 6-month follow-up. Missing data were handled with multiple imputation and a pattern-mixture model. RESULTS Among 516 randomized patients, 446 (86.43%) completed the study. After the fourth chemotherapy cycle, in comparison with the control group, patients receiving SOL showed a lower reduction in mean global QoL (-2.76 vs. -14.11; mean difference [MD], 11.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 8.28 to 14.41), greater improvement in physical function (MD, 11.61; 95% CI, 8.57 to 14.65), role function (MD, 10.15; 95% CI, 5.75 to 14.54), and emotional function (MD, 4.71; 95% CI, 1.85 to 7.57), and greater improvements in lung cancer-related symptoms (e.g., fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and appetite loss) and performance status during the 6-month follow-up period (treatment main effect, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION SOL treatment for NSCLC patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy can significantly improve QoL and performance status within 6 months after radical resection. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03712969.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research was designed to investigate the changes of inflammatory factors in patients after resection of lung adenocarcinoma with propofol versus etomidate. METHODS A total of 104 patients who underwent resection of lung adenocarcinoma in our hospital were divided into a propofol group (group A, n=50) and an etomidate group (group B, n=54). The levels of CRP and IL-6 at different time points and the changes of blood gas indexes at 10 min before and after operation were observed in both groups. Their pain score and quality of life score were compared. Besides, we observed the wake-up time, tracheal extubation time and the incidence of adverse reactions. RESULTS The anesthesia recovery and tracheal extubation time in group B were shorter than those in group A (P<0.05). After 10-minutes of spontaneous breathing, PaO2 and SaO2 in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0.05), and PaCO2 was lower (P<0.05); compared with group A. The incidence of adverse reactions and the levels of inflammatory factors in group B were lower than those in group A after operation (both P<0.05). The quality of life of patients in group B after operation was better than that in group A (P<0.05). There was no marked difference in VAS scores between groups. CONCLUSION Etomidate has better anesthetic effect than propofol in lung adenocarcinoma resection, leading to better stabilization of the vital signs of patients and it also has higher safety.

Abstract
With the continuous breakthroughs in molecular biology and biochemistry, we have constantly made great progress in the treatment of lung cancer. There is no doubt that standard treatment (such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy) has greatly improved the prognosis of lung cancer populations. In particular, the immunotherapy has brought more and more good news to countless lung cancer patients. In contrast to these standard treatments, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) rarely has a profound and comprehensive overview in the field of lung cancer. This article will summarize the latest progress of TCM in lung cancer which is mainly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from theory to clinical practice, which would carry forward the sophisticated TCM and promote the development of modern medicine.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a malignant tumor characterized by a rapid proliferation rate, less survivability, high mortality, and metastatic potential. This review focuses on updated research about the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an adjuvant therapy to lung cancer treatment and the mechanisms of TCM effect on lung cancer in vitro and in vivo. We summarized the recent 5 years of different research progress on clinical applications and antitumor mechanisms of TCM in the treatment of lung cancer. As a potent adjuvant therapy, TCM could enhance conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and epidermal growth factor receptors [EGFRs] tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs]) effects as well as provide synergistic effects, enhance chemotherapy drugs chemosensitivity, reverse drug resistance, reduce adverse reactions and toxicity, relieve patients’ pain and improve quality of life (QOL). After treating with TCM, lung cancer cells will induce apoptosis and/or autophagy, suppress metastasis, impact immune reaction, and therapeutic effect of EGFR-TKIs. Therefore, TCM is a promisingly potent adjuvant therapy in the treatment of lung cancer and its multiple mechanisms are worthy of an in-depth study.
