Glutathione S-transferase A1 (GSTA1) appears to be primarily involved in detoxification processes, but possible roles in lung cancer remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression and function of GSTA1 in lung cancer cells. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were performed to assess expression in cancer cell lines and the normal lung cells, then verify the A549 cells line with stable overexpression. Localization of GSTA1 proteins was assessed by cytoimmunofluorescence. Three double-strand DNA oligoRNAs (SiRNAs) were synthesized prior to being transfected into A549 cells with Lipofectamine 2000, and then the most efficient SiRNA was selected. Expression of the GSTA1 gene in the transfected cells was determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The viability of the transfected cells were assessed by MTT. Results showed that the mRNA and protein expression of A549 cancer cells was higher than in MRC-5 normal cells. Cytoimmunofluorescence demonstrated GSTA1 localization in the cell cytoplasm and/or membranes. Transfection into A549 cells demonstrated that down-regulated expression could inhibit cell viability. Our data indicated that GSTA1 expression may be a target molecule in early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

The anti-inflammatory effects of mung bean protein hydrolysate (MBPH) on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages were investigated herein. MBPH was shown to affect the cell morphology, proliferation, cell cycle, cytokine levels at different culture times, and the expression level of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). The obtained results revealed that different fractions of MBPH promote cell proliferation, alter the cell cycle by decreasing the proportion of cells in the S stage and increasing the proportion of cells in the G2 stage, increase the expression of cytokines, included IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α, and negatively affect the LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines. Based on the analysis of cytokine expression at different points in time, it is concluded that cytokine secretion of MBPH-treated group reaches a peak at 24 h, the result was significantly different compared to other treatment groups (P < 0.05). It can be observed that the inflammatory response induced by LPS in the MBPH-III treatment group is reduced compared with other fractions (P < 0.05). In addition, MBPH inhibits the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway by inhibiting the nuclear transcription of p65 and phosphorylation of IκBα in macrophages induced by LPS. Our results demonstrated that lower molecular weight MBPH exerted stronger anti-inflammatory effects than other molecular fractions. Thus, MBPH could be utilized as a functional food ingredient to prevent inflammation in chronic diseases.

Curcumol is a sesquiterpene originally isolated from curcuma rhizomes, a component of herbal remedies commonly used in oriental medicine. Its beneficial pharmacological activities have attract significant interest recently. In this study, anti-cancer activity of curcumol was examined with both in vitro and in vivo models. It was found that curcumol exhibited time- and concentration-dependent anti-proliferative effects in SPC-A-1 human lung adenocarcinoma cells with cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase while apoptosis-induction was also confirmed with flow cytometry and morphological analyses. Interestingly, curcumol did not display growth inhibition in MRC-5 human embryonic lung fibroblasts, suggesting the anti-proliferative effects of curcumol were specific to cancer cells. Anti-neoplastic effects of curcumol were also confirmed in tumor bearing mice. Curcumol (60 mg/ kg daily) significantly reduced tumor size without causing notable toxicity. In conclusion, curcumol appears a favorable anti-cancer candidate for further development.
