Abstract:

Objectiv To study the radiosensitivity of dihydromyricetin (DMY) on human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells, and to explore a new drug for lung cancer radiotherapy sensitization.Methods MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to determined the IC20 of dihydromyricetin at different density A549 cells. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the change of A549 cell cycle phase impacted by DMY of IC20during different time (6, 12, 24, 48hours). Colony formation assay was used to determine the radiosensitivity on A549 cells by dihydromyricetin pre-intervention in vitro. Results The proliferation of A549 cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, MTT assay showed the IC20 was 40mg/L and colony formation assay showed the IC20was 7mg/L. FCM cycle experiment showed that the rate of G2/M phase ratio obviously increased when A549 cells was incubated 24 hours with DMY;A significant sensibilization leading by the effect of radiotherapy sensibilization on A549 cells after DMY pre-intervention 24 hours was not detected by clone formation sensibilization assay.Conclusion The proliferation of A549 cells was inhibited in a dose-dependent manner of dihydromyricetin, and the effect was influenced by cell density. Although the rate of G2/M phase ratio obviously increased when A549 cells were incubated 24 hours with DMY,  there was no significant sensibilization on A549 cells after DMY pre-intervention 24 hours. A further study should be made.
