Abstract

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. The objective of this study was to investigate
the effect of 1,2-diazole (pyrazole) as an anti-cancer drug on human non-small cell lung carcinoma A549
cells. We attempt to examine the expression level of pro-inflammatory proteins such as TNF-α, NF-kBp65, MMP-2 and E-Cadherin which are commonly associated with an inflammatory response in epithelial
cells and apoptosis in A549 cells. The LPS-induced cytokines and inflammatory mediators include TNF-α,
IL-6, iNOS and COX-2 levels in A549 cells and the effect of pyrazole was studied. The present study reveals
that, pyrazole inhibits A549 cells by suppressing TNF-α induced MMP-2 expression, thereby inhibiting
the nuclear translocation of NF-kB-p65. Pyrazole significantly up-regulate the E-cadherin level and
down-regulated MMP-2 expression that could probably preventing A549 cancer cells to invade. The
study further substantiated the anti-cancer property of pyrazole by regulating the above mentioned level
of LPS-induced cytokines and inflammatory mediators. The observations of the present study open a
possibility for the development of an effective therapeutic agent that targets inflammatory and signaling
pathway mediators to challenge human non-small cell lung carcinoma
