DLL4 and lung cancer: In order to explore the specific mechanism of YiqiChutan formula (YQCTF) in inhibiting the angiogenesis of lung cancer and its relationship with delta-like ligand 4- (DLL4-) Notch signaling, 30 healthy BALB/c-nu/nu rats were selected and divided into three groups: A549 group (implanted with lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549), NCI-H460 group (implanted with human lung large-cell carcinoma cell line NCI-H460), and NCI-H446 group (implanted with human lung small cell carcinoma cell line NCI-H446) for constructing lung cancer transplanted tumor models.
