AbstractBackgroundCalotropis gigantea (CG) plant grows in Asia and tropical Africa. However, the precise mechanisms of its anticancer effects have not yet been examined in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, A549 and NCI-H1299 cells.PurposeThis study was focused on the anti-cancer effects of CG extract on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.MethodsThe cytotoxic effects of CG extract on NSCLC, A549 and NCI-H1299 cells, were detected by MTS assay, microscope and DAPI staining. Apoptosis was determined by annexin V-FITC/PI staining, cell cycle analysis, western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and JC-1 staining.ResultsFirst, CG showed significant dose-dependent cytotoxicity in NSCLC, A549, and NCI-H1299 cells. In addition to induction of caspase-8 processing, CG induced apoptosis by upregulating mRNA expression levels of extrinsic pathway molecules such as Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD) and death receptor 5 (DR5). Also, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was collapsed, and intrinsic pathway molecules such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), caspase-3, and caspase-9 were processed by CG. Moreover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated in a CG dose-dependent manner, and inhibition of ROS by NAC, ROS scavenger, recovered A549 and NCI-H1299 cell viability.ConclusionThese results indicate that CG causes apoptosis by activating the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways and generating ROS in NSCLC cells. These results suggest that CG can be used as a lung cancer therapeutic agent.
