| Abstract | Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide, with a poor prognosis for patients and a concomitant financial burden on society. There are a number of different pathological subtypes, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the primary subtype. Although anticancer therapy has led to a marked improvement in the survival rate of patients in recent years, the survival rate remains poor. Potential reasons for this include a lack of early diagnosis and drug resistance, which is considered to be associated with mutations in components of signaling pathways, tumor suppressors and epidermal growth factor receptor, and certain other complex mechanisms to a certain extent. It is therefore imperative to develop novel therapies. In the present study, the pyrazolopyrimidine compound PP2 was used to inhibit Src family protein tyrosine kinases in A549 cells. It was demonstrated that PP2 was able to suppress cell viability, migration and invasion, and promote apoptosis via regulating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/B-cell lymphoma 2/caspase-3 signaling pathway. PP2 may therefore be useful in anti-NSCLC therapy in the future. |
