Abstract
Background/aim: Non-small cell lung cancer is known for its rapid growth and immune evasion, demanding effective therapies targeting both tumor cells and the microenvironment. Magnolol has shown promising anti-tumor effects in various cancers.
Materials and methods: CL1-5-F4-bearing mice were divided into control, 40 mg/kg, and 60 mg/kg magnolol groups, once tumors reached 100 mm3 Tumor growth and body weight were monitored biweekly, and after 13 days, mice were euthanized for tumor and organ collection for subsequent staining. Histopathology and serum biochemistry assessed organ toxicity.
Results: Magnolol dose-dependently suppressed NSCLC progression, with no pathology alterations observed in normal organs. Magnolol-induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, evidenced by increased cleaved caspase-3 and decreased cyclin D1/CDK4 levels. It also down-regulated VEGF, FOXP3, and IDO-1 in tumors, implicating tumor microenvironment modulation.
Conclusion: Magnolol exhibits significant antitumor effects in NSCLC by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation, and modulating the tumor microenvironment. These results support further investigation of magnolol as a therapeutic adjuvant to enhance NSCLC treatment outcomes.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
