Objective The mechanism of the sensitization effect of Zedoary Turmeric oil Injection(ZTO) combined with hyperthermia(HT) on radiotherapy(RT) for non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) was explored based on proteomics and bioinformatics. Methods After subcutaneous inoculation of A549 lung cancer cells in nude mice, the mice were randomly divided into the model group(no treatment), the RT group(6 Gy X-ray irradiation once a week), the RT + HT group(heating at 41—43 ℃ for 10 min, twice a day), the RT + ZTO group(200 mg·kg-1 twice a day), and the RT + HT + ZTO group, with 5 mice in each group. The treatment lasted for 21 days. The tumor volume and mass of each group of nude mice were recorded, and the pathological changes of the tumors were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Human lung cancer A549 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into the control group(no treatment), the RT group(6 Gy X-ray irradiation), the RT + HT group(heating at 43 ℃ for 30 min), the RT + ZTO group(100 μg·mL-1), and the RT + HT + ZTO group. Cell survival rate was detected by MTT assay; cell proliferation ability was detected by colony formation assay and EdU assay; cell cycle changes were detected by flow cytometry; differentially expressed proteins(DEPs) in each group were screened by quantitative proteomics technology and analyzed by bioinformatics; cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry; the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4(CDK4), cyclin D3(CCND3), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A(CDKN1A) was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR) and Western blotting. Results Compared with the model group, the tumor volume and mass in the RT group were significantly reduced(P <0.001); compared with the RT group, the tumor volume in the RT + HT, RT + ZTO, and RT + HT + ZTO groups showed a downward trend, and the tumor mass was significantly reduced(P <0.01, 0.001), with the most significant effect in the RT + HT + ZTO group. HE staining showed that the tumor cells in the model group were dense, with obvious nuclear atypia; in each treatment group, the tumor cells were vacuolated, with interstitial hyperplasia, decreased cell density, and deepened nuclear chromatin staining, with the most significant effect in the RT + HT + ZTO group. Compared with the control group, the relative survival rate, colony formation rate, and the number of EdU-positive cells in the A549 cells in the RT group were significantly decreased(P <0.01, 0.001); compared with the RT group, the relative survival rate, colony formation rate, and the number of EdU-positive cells in the RT + HT, RT + ZTO, and RT + HT + ZTO groups were significantly decreased(P <0.01, 0.001), with the most significant effect in the RT + HT + ZTO group. After RT + HT + ZTO treatment, the DEPs were analyzed by bioinformatics and found to be related to the cell cycle, cell proliferation, etc., mainly enriched in the cell cycle, apoptosis, and metabolic pathways. Compared with the control group, the proportion of G1 phase cells in the RT group increased, and the proportion of G2 phase cells decreased(P <0.01, 0.001); compared with the RT group, the proportion of G1 phase cells in the RT + ZTO and RT + HT + ZTO groups increased(P <0.05, 0.001), and the proportion of S phase cells in the RT + HT, RT + ZTO, and RT + HT + ZTO groups decreased(P <0.01, 0.001). Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein expression of CDKN1A in the RT group were significantly upregulated(P <0.001), and the protein expression of CDK4 and CCND3 was significantly downregulated(P <0.001). Compared with the RT group, the mRNA and protein levels of CDKN1A were significantly upregulated(P <0.01 and 0.001), while the mRNA and protein levels of CCND3 were significantly downregulated(P <0.05, 0.01, 0.001), and the protein expression of CDK4 was significantly downregulated(P <0.001) in the RT + HT, RT + ZTO, and RT + HT + ZTO groups. In the RT + ZTO and RT + HT + ZTO groups, the mRNA level of CDK4 was significantly downregulated(P <0.05, 0.01). Conclusion ZTO combined with hyperthermia enhances NSCLC radiosensitivity by modulating CDK4, CCND3, and CDKN1A, thereby disrupting cell cycle progression, potentially via DNA replication, apoptosis, and metabolic pathways.
