Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of China cobra venom active factor (CCVAF) on the expression of VEGF and bFGF in human non-small cell lung cancer cell line H1299.METHODS: VEGF and bFGF mRNA level was measured by RT-PCR.VEGF and bFGF protein level in the supernatant was examined by ELISA.RESULTS: The mRNA expression level of bFGF was also reduced after treatment with the CCVAF in dose-dependent manner. Giving the CCVAF 4.0 μg·ml-1 to cell H1299 for 4 hours could notablely decreased the mRNA expression of bFGF while it had no such effect on VEGF mRNA expression level.The content of VEGF, and bFGF in supernatant of H1299 cells were significantly decreased after treatment for 24 hour with CCVAF in dose-dependent manner.There was significant difference compared with control group (P <0.05).CONCLUSION: CCVAF inhibits the expression of VEGF and bFGF in H1299 cells.
