Abstract:
Objective: To explore the effect of HA14-1 combined with cyclophosphamide (CTX) on the expression of Bcl- 2 and Bax proteins in lung cancer in mice. Methods: Mouse models of lung carcinoma were established and divided in-to 4 groups: the HA 14-1 group, the CTX group, the combination HA14-1 +CTX group and the normal saline group used as the control. Western blot and immunohistochemistry were applied to detect the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax.Results: The HA14-1 group, the CTX group and the HA14-1 +CTX group had lower Bcl-2 protein expression and higher Bax expression compared with the control group (P<0.05). The HA 14-1 +CTX group had the lowest Bcl-2 protein expression and the high-est Bax protein expression ( P<0.05). Conclusion:HA14-1 can promote tumor cell apoptosis and enhance the efficacy of CTX chemotherapy by downregulating Bcl-2 expression and upregulating Bax expression.
