NSCLC accounts for more than 80% of all lung cancer cases, with current treatments primarily consisting of surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. However, these treatments often come with various adverse effects and drug resistance issues, highlighting the urgent need for new NSCLC therapies. Traditional Chinese medicine serves as a natural treasury of medicinal compounds and an important avenue for discovering novel active compounds. Platycodin D (PD) is a triterpenoid saponin isolated from the roots of Platycodon, possessing various pharmacological properties. Nevertheless, the exact mechanism of PD's anti-lung cancer activity remains unclear. In this study, 3 lung cancer cell models, A549, NCI-H1299, and PC-9, were employed. After intervention with Platycodin-D, tumor cell proliferation and migration were assessed. Cell migration ability was assessed through transwell assays, while transcriptomics was employed to explore the mechanism of PD's anticancer activity. Bioinformatic analysis revealed significant enrichment of apoptosis and the TGFβ pathway following PD intervention, as shown in gene expression heatmaps, where genes associated with cancer were significantly downregulated by PD intervention. Subsequently, we used immunofluorescent labeling of KI-67 to evaluate cell proliferation, flow cytometry to assess apoptosis, and Western blot to detect protein expression of TGFβ and P-SMAD3. Immunofluorescence was also employed to investigate E-cadherin, vimentin, and N-cadherin. Finally, molecular docking and dynamic simulations were utilized to study the interaction between PD and TGFβ proteins.

Individuals in the MAT group exhibited improved therapeutic effects on STAI-S, VASS, and vital signs over time. Notably, significant group*time interaction effects were noted in STAI-S scores at both the first evaluation, T1 (β = -4.220, <i>P</i> < .005) and the third evaluation, T3 (β = -3.797, <i>P</i> < .05), and VASS scores at T1 (β = -11.186, <i>P</i> < .005), T2 (β = -9.915, <i>P</i> < .05) and T3 (β = -9.831, <i>P</i> < .05). Regarding vital signs, the multivariate GEE model revealed significant interaction effects in systolic blood pressure values at both T1 (β = -7.102, <i>P</i> < .05) and T3 (β = -10.051, <i>P</i> < .005), diastolic blood pressure values at T3 (β = -6.441, <i>P</i> < .005), and pulse values at T1 (β = -6.085, <i>P</i> < .005). No significant differences were observed between groups for pain, hope, or self-acceptance.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study posited that MAT could serve as a valuable complementary approach in perioperative care for addressing the psychological needs of women with gynecological cancer.
