目的:研究消癌解毒方( Xiaoai Jiedu Recipe, XJR)对肝癌H22细胞小鼠移植瘤的抑制作用及其可能的机制。方法:建立小鼠H22移植瘤模型,分对照组和XJR低、中、高剂量(10、30、90 g/kg)组及顺铂(0.001 g/kg)组进行治疗,检测各组移植瘤生长情况,H-E染色观察各组移植瘤组织的病理改变。流式细胞术检测各组移植瘤细胞周期及凋亡率,ELISA法测定各组移植瘤小鼠外周血VEGF水平。结果:与对照组比较,XJR各剂量以及顺铂对H22移植瘤的生长均具有显著的抑制作用,抑瘤率分别为24.5%、42.8%、21.1%、58.6% (P<0.05或P<0.01)。病理观察见中剂量XJP组和顺铂组移植瘤组织大片状坏死,有明显染色质固缩环。中剂量XJR和顺铂将移植瘤组织细胞阻滞于G0/G1期(P<0.05),S期细胞数明显减少(P<0.05)。中剂量XJR组移植瘤细胞的凋亡率与顺铂组相当\[(60.52±6.40)% vs (71.32±16.02)%,P>0.05\]。中、高剂量XJR组和顺铂组小鼠外周血VEGF水平均显著降低\[(104.3±6.1)、(105.8±7.2)、(88.6±4.3) vs (120.7±12.6) ng/ml,P<0.05或P<0.01\]。结论:XJR能抑制H22小鼠移植瘤的生长,促进移植瘤细胞凋亡、抑制VEGF的产生可能是其抗癌作用机制之一。

Objective:To study the inhibitory effects of Xiaoai Jiedu Recipe(XJR) against transplanted hepatocarcinoma H22 tumors in mice and the related mechanism. Methods: H22-transplanted tumor mouse models were established and were divided into control group, XJR treatment groups (10, 30, 90 g/kg), and cisplatin treatment group. The growth of tumors in different groups was measured, and pathology changes of transplanted tumor tissues in different groups were examined by H-E staining. Flow cytometry was applied to examine cell cycle and sub-diploid apoptosis rate of transplanted tumor cells, and VEGF levels in the peripheral blood of mice were measured by ELISA. Results: Compared with control group, different XJR groups and the cisplatin group significantly inhibited growth of H22-transplanted tumors (245%, 42.8%, 21.1, 58.6% vs 0, P<0.05, P<0.01), cells in XJR groups showing massive necrosis and obvious chromosome condensation. Medium-dosage XJR and cisplatin blocked transplanted tumor cells in G0/G1 phase (P<005), and the cells in S phase were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The sub-diploid apoptosis rate of transplanted tumor cells in medium-doseage XJR group was similar to that in cisplatin group (60.52±6.40 vs 71.32±16.02, P>0.05). Peripheral VEGF levels were significantly lower in the medium-, large-dosage XJR groups and cisplatin group than in the control group (104.3±6.1, 105.8±7.2, 88.6±4.3 vs 120.7±12.6, P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Xiaoai Jiedu Recipe can inhibit the growth and promote apoptosis of H22-transplanted tumor cells, and inhibition of VEGF may be one of the mechanisms for the anticancer effect.
