Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the proliferation and cell cycle of lung carcinoma cell line A549. Methods The A549 cells were treated with ATRA at the dosages of 5
10
50 μmol/ L for 1-7 d. The proliferation of A549 was assessed by MTT method and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of CDK4
Rb and p-ERK1/2 were assessed by Western blotting. CyclinD1 mRNA was analyzed by SYBR-PCR amplification. Results ATRA obviously inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells
and the cell cycle was arrested in G

phase. The expression of p-ERK1/
2 protein and CyclinD1 mRNA on A549 cells were decreased. Conclusion ATRA might inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells through down-regulating p-ERK1/2 protein and CyclinD1 mRNA.
