Abstract:
Objective: To explore the inhibitory effect of algae sulfated polysaccharide(SPA) on the proliferation of lung cancer and its possible mechanism.Methods: Using in vitro cell culture and animal model to observe the effects of SPA given by oral administration on tumor proliferation,immune function and the ability of IL-1, IL-2 secretion.Results:SPA at dose of 20, 40, 80 mg/kg significantly inhibits tumor growth with inhibitory rates of 35.27%(P<0.01), 4829%(P<0.001), 65.41% respectively. Significant increase in phagocytic function, increase in serun hemolycin level, delayed allergic reaction and secrection of IL-1,IL-2 were observed after SPA administration. No direct inhibitory effect on proliferation of A459 adenocarcinoma cell was observed in vitro.Conclusion: SPA inhibits the growth of Lewis lung cancer possibly by modulating immune function.
