Effect of Qingzao Jiufei Tang on JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway and Expression of Downstream Apoptosis-related Proteins in Lung Cancer
清燥救肺汤能明显促进肺癌细胞凋亡,其机制可能与抑制JAK2/STAT3信号通路,上调其下游Bax蛋白表达,下调其下游Cyclin D

Abstract
Objective:
2
To observe the effect of Qingzao Jiufei Tang on apoptosis of lung cancer
Janus protein tyrosine kinase 2/signal transducers and transcriptional activator protein 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway
as well as the expressions of downstream apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2-associated X (Bax) and Cyclin D
1
.
Method:
2
Totally 50 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups: chemotherapy group (CTX)
model group
high-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group
middle-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group and low-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group
with 10 mice in each group. The model of lung cancer was established by injecting Lewis lung cancer cells into the right axillary of mice. High-dose
middle-dose and low-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang groups were orally given drugs (11

) two weeks before the modeling. Chemotherapy group was administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 mg·kg

while model group was administered intragastrically with the equal volume of normal saline. After inoculation
the mice in each group were continued to be administered. Two weeks later
the mice in each group were killed
and the tumors were collected. Then the JAK2 protein phosphorylation level was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC). STAT3
Bax and Cyclin D

protein expression levels were detected by Western blot
and apoptosis of lung cancer cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy.
Result:
2
Compared with model group
the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 protein in lung cancer cells were significantly decreased
the expression of Bax protein was significantly increased
and the expression of Cyclin D
1
protein was significantly decreased in high-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group
middle-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group and chemotherapy group
with statistically significant differences (
P

P
<

middle-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group
low-dose Qingzao Jiufei Tang group and chemotherapy group compared with the model group.
Conclusion:
2
Qingzao Jiufei Tang had an obvious effect in promoting the apoptosis of lung cancer cells. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3 protein
the promotion of its downstream Bax protein expression and the inhibition of its downstream Cyclin D

protein expression.
