We began by examining the effects of fish oil on NSCLC cell proliferation. As shown in Figure
1A, fish oil resulted in a significant decrease in cell proliferation of two NSCLC cell lines
(H1838 and H1792) as compared to the control cells (no fish oil) with maximal effects noted
at 15 μg/ml. Note that two human bronchial epithelial cell lines (BEAS-2B and 16-HBE)
showed no inhibition in response to fish oil (Fig. 1A).
