Popis: Background/aim Amentoflavone, an effective compound derived from medicinal plants, has been shown to boost therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, anti-NSCLC effect of amentoflavone is ambiguous. The major purpose of the present study was to verify the inhibitory effects of amentoflavone in NSCLC cells. Materials and methods The effects of amentoflavone on growth and invasion of NSCLC CL-1-5-F4 cells were evaluated by cell viability assay, flow cytometry, colony formation assay, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) reporter gene assay, immunofluorescence staining, transwell invasion, and western blot assay. Results Amentoflavone effectively induced cell growth inhibition, G1 cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and suppression of invasion. Furthermore, amentoflavone not only triggered expression of p27, cleaved caspase-3, -8 also reduced NF-κB signaling, protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, -9, Cyclin-D1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Conclusion Cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, NF-κB signaling inhibition are associated with amentoflavone-inhibited growth and invasion of NSCLC cells.
