Objective:To explore the effects and mechanisms of aster water extract(AWE)on the proliferationand invasion of human lung cancer A549 cells,and the tumorigenesis capability of nude mice.Methods:MRC-5 and A549 cells were cultured in vitro and incubated with different concentrations of AWE(0,0.6,1.25,2.5,5,10,20,40,80,160,320 g·L-1).In the MTT assay,A549 cells were divided into AWE 0 g·L-1 group,AWE 10 g·L-1 group,AWE 20 g·L-1 group and AWE 40 g·L-1 group,and the cell proliferation rate in each group was detected by CCK-8.The number of invas...
