Abstract: AIM: To explore whether extracts of semen coicis(ESC)suppress the telomerase activity of squamouslung cancer.METHODS: The growth curves of squamouslung cancer cells were observed to evaluate effects of ESC and fat emulsion injection was set as control.The telomerase activity was measure by TRAP-PCR.RESULTS: Growth of squamouslung cancer cells was suppressed by ESC.But ESC did not suppress the telomerase activity of squamouslung cancer cells.CONCLUSION: ESC suppresses the growth of squamouslung cancer cells,but it can not suppress the telomerase activity of these cells.

Key words: pharmacodynamics, extracts of semen coicis, telomerase, squamouslung cancer
