On-inhibition and apoptosisinducing effects were observed in lung tumors, as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and western blotting analysis. PG also exhibits a direct effect on the lung tumor growth, and has similar results of tumor inhibition as CDA-2. These results suggested that CDA-2 might be a potential therapeutic remedy for the treatment of lung cancer, and PG is believed to contribute the major bioactivity of CDA-2 due to high percent (41 ) and clear tumor suppression effect. The tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in tumor initiation and promotion and contains immune cells 
and connective tissue, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells, pericytes, and mesenchymal cells [23]. The most frequently found immune cells within the tumor microenvironment are tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMs mostly promote tumor growth and may be obligatory for angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis by release of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and their presence in lung cancer has been correlated with poor prognosis of lung cancer patients [24,25] and other 15481974 outcomes such as increased microvessel count [26]. As parts of positive feed-forward loops, chemokines produced by TMAs attract additional immune/ inflammatory cells including macrophages to tumor microenvironment [27]. Our data shows treatment 
of CDA-2 or PG results in a decrease of total cells in BALF, which mostly affected macrophages, reduced inflammation. Thus, it is likely that CDA-CDA-2 Inhibits TLR2 Signaling in Bone-marrow-derived MacrophagesPrevious studies have showed that Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs)mediated signaling favor the activation of NF-kB, leading to a proinflammatory response [21]. To address whether CDA-2 inhibited NF-kB through TLR signaling pathway, we examined the expression of TLR family members in bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) that were stimulated by serum-free conditioned medium from LLC cells (LLC-CM). LLC-CM significantly induced expression of TLR2 and its Homotaurine site coreceptor TLR6 and CD14 (Fig. 6A,B), but not TLR1, TLR3, TLR4, and TLR9 in BMDM (data not shown). Importantly, addition of CDA2 or PG significantly suppressed the expression of TLR2, TLR6, and CD14 in a concentration-dependent manner (Fig. 6A,B). Incubation of BMDM with CDA-2 or PG alone had no effect on TLR2, TLR6, and CD14 expression (Fig. 6A,B). These results suggested that TLR2 signiling could act as mediator and contributes to NF-kB inactivation by CDA-2 and PG.Inhibition of CDA-2 to NF-kB Activation was Abrogated by Over-expression of TLRTo further evaluate TLR2 signaling-mediated NF-kB activation was regulated by CDA-2, we performed NFkB riven luciferase reporter gene assay. Recombinant adenoviral vectors were generated encoding TLR2 expressed in BMDM. TLR2 or control vector infected BMDM were infected with NF-kB luciferaseCDA-2 Inhibits Lung Cancer JI-101 Developmentinhibits lung tumor growth through suppression of the population of immune/inflammatory cells 12926553 and inflammation in lung. Activation of NF-kB is responsible for the induction of a variety of target genes that are important for tumorigenesis [28,29]. NFkB activation in inflammatory cells controls the production of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNFa, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-23, which mediate tumor promotion and progression, as well as NFkB activation in tumor cells [8,11]. NF-kB activation also is found in tumor cells where it regulates cell proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis [30?2].
