Lung cancer is widespread in China and has many new cases and deaths. There are about 450000 new cancer patients
in China every year. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounted for 80%. Previous studies have found that T33,
a TCM formula, has the function of treating cancer by inducing autophagy of Colorectal cancer. Therefore, his study
aims to determine the ability of 12-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (an active ingredient in T33) to induce autophagy
of A549 non-small cell lung cancer to expand the available treatment methods for lung cancer patients. This study will
measure cell killing by MTT in vitro and tumor size reduction of A549 xenografts in vivo and measure autophagy by
LC3-A/B western blot. The positive control is taxol, and negative control is PBS/DMSO. In this study, by observing
the size of cancer cell tissue and the number of LC3-A/B, we can determine whether 12-octadecenoic acid methyl ester
can successfully induce autophagy of NSCLC and thus generate the potential for the treatment of NSCLC. The results
of this study will provide some potential theoretical basis for the principle of traditional Chinese medicine in treating
cancer.
