A composition for preventing, suppressing and treating lung cancer caused by tobacco, comprising an extract of Chosei Doraj as an active ingredient
The present invention relates to the preventive, inhibitory and therapeutic uses of an old platycodon extract (CK) against lung cancer induced by methylni-trosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanone (NNK), a well-known carcinogenic substance contained in cigarette smoke. The inventive old platycodon extract (CK) has the effect of inhibiting the expression of a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) indicative of lung tumor cell proliferation, which is increased by NNK, a lung cancer-causing substance contained in cigarette smoke. Also, the inventive old platycodon extract (CK) has the effect of inhibiting of the formation of lung tumors caused by the lung cancer-causing substance NNK. Thus, the old platycodon extract (CK) can be used as an active ingredient for the prevention, inhibition and treatment of lung cancer caused by cigarettes.
