Abstract:Objective: To investigate the role of IGFBP-4 in breviscapine (BVP) inhibited lung cancer A549 cells growth. Methods: A549 cells were treated with BVP 0, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L BVP for 48 h. Adv-IGFBP-4-OE™ DNA, EGFP and Adv-KD™ Easy RNAi EGFP were used to establish IGFBP-4 over- or down- expression A549 cells. MTT assay was used to detect cell survival rate, Trypan blue staining was applied to analyze cell death rate, Annexin V/Propidium iodide (PI) double staining was used to test cell apoptosis. Western blot, RT-qPCR and ELISA were used to detect the expression Bax, Bcl-2, the protein and mRNA expression and secretion of IGFBP-4. Results: The viability decreased, but apoptosis rate increased significantly in A549 cells with 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L BVP treatment. BVP also increased Bax but reduced Bcl-2 expression. The mRNA and protein expression of IGFBP-4 and the secretion of IGFBP-4 increased with BVP treatment for 48 h. The over-expression of IGFBP-4 decreased the survival rate of A549 cells, and enhanced the growth inhibition by 100 μmol/L BVP. The down-expression of IGFBP-4 increased the cell survival rate, and alleviated the growth inhibition by 100 μmol/L BVP. Conclusion: BVP has an inhibitory effect on A549 growth, which might be related to overexpression of IGFBP-4.
