title: [Effect of quercetin on the expression and growth of caspase-3 in lung adenocarcinoma cancer cell line A549.].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  To study the influence of Quercetin in the expression of caspase-3 in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cancer cell line A549.
  
  
  METHODS
  The mRNA expression of caspase-3 in A549 Cells was detected by RT-PCR , and the protein expression was detected by Western blot.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mRNA and protein expressions of caspase-3 was enhanced by Quercetin in dose- and time-dependent manners.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The enhancement effects of Quercetin on caspase-3 in A549 cells may provide promising therapy of tumor.
