PG - 181-4 LID - 10.3779/j.issn.1009-3419.2003.03.04 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: To study the proliferation inhibition and anti-invasion of retinoic acid (RA) and 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) in highly metastasized lung cancer cell line (PGCL3), and to observe the combined effects of RA and GA. METHODS: The proliferation inhibitive rate, the colony-formation rate in semi-solid agar, the invasive ability to reconstituted basement membrane, the chemotatic migration ability, the laminin adhesion ability, and the activity of cathepsin B (CB) were tested. RESULTS: Treated with RA and GA, the proliferation of PGCL3 cells were inhibited obviously, and the inhibition degree was related to the dosage of the drugs. IC(5)(0) of the proliferation inhibition were 12.58 mumol/L and 145.3 mumol/L respectively. Treated with 5.0 mumol/L RA, 25 mumol/L and 50 mumol/L GA, the invasive ability was decreased significantly (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001), and the inhibition was in a dose dependent manner. In combined treatment with 5.0 mumol/L RA and 25 mumol/L GA, the inhibition of invasion was greater than the sum of them used alone. Treated with GA of above concentrations and 10 mumol/L RA, the adhesion and migration ability and the secretion of CB of the PGCL3 cells were decreased significantly (P < 0.001). Treated with GA of above concentation, the colony formation rate in semi-solid agar was decreased significantly (P < 0.001).. CONCLUSIONS: RA and GA can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of the PGCL3 human lung cancer cells and have the anti-invasion synergism. The mechanism of anti-invasion of RA and GA is to inhibit many points of invasive process.
