Effect of Qingzao Jiufei Tang on Rate-limiting Enzymes HK2, PFK2 and PKM2 in Glycolytic Pathway in Lewis Lung Cancer-bearing Mice Cells
To study the effect of Qingzao Jiufei Tang on the expression of key limiting enzymes hexokinase 2(HK2)
phosphofructokinase 2(PFK2) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2)
and the glucose content in Lewis mice colon cancer cells.
Method:
2
A total of 50 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into model group
chemotherapy group
and high
middle and low-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang groups
with 10 mice in each group. The lung cancer cell model was established by injecting Lewis lung cancer cells into the right axilla. The high
middle and low dose groups were administered at the doses of 11

in the chemotherapy group. The model group was intragastrically administered with an equal volume of normal saline. After the inoculation
the drug was administered for two weeks. Two weeks later
all of the mice were put to death
and tumor tissues were collected. The mRNA expression of HK2 was detected by Real-time PCR. the protein expression of PFK2 was detected by Western blot
the PKM2 activity was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Result:
2
Compared with the model group
mRNA expressions and activity of PKM2 in lung cancer cells of treatment groups were significantly declined
and glucose content increased significantly
with significant differences from those of model group (
P
<
0.01). The PFK2 protein expressions in lung cancer cells of treatment groups (high
medium and low-dose groups) were significantly decreased (
P
<

P
<

Conclusion:
2
Qingzao Jiufei Tang could inhibit Lewis proliferation
and decrease the glucose intake in lung cancer cells. The effect targets may be the key rate-limiting enzymes HK2
