The target cell Walke-256 was treated with SEA-Fab＇ synthesized chemically or SEA respectively for 24 h, 36 h or 72 h. PBMC＋Walke-256 cells served as controls. The apoptotic index of SEA-Fab＇ against effector cells was detected. In the mouse gastric cancer models （n=60）, SEA-Fab＇, SEA and normal saline was injected in experimental group, SEA group and control group respectively. The occurrence and weight of tumor was observed. The results showed that the apoptotic index was significantly higher in the SEA-Fab＇ （34.6 -68.9%） and SEA group （15.5-31.9%） than in PBMC＋Walker-256 group （5.5%-12.8%） with the difference being significant （P〈0.01）. And there was significant difference between SEA-Fab＇ group and SEA group （P〈0.01）. The tumor weight in SEA-Fab＇, SEA and control groups was 3.6±0.53 g, 0. 78±0. 26 g and 0.49±0. 17 g respectively with the difference being statistically significant between the SEA-Fab＇ group, SEA group and the control group （P〈0.01）. In the SEA-Fab＇s and SEA groups, there were CD4^＋ T and CD8^＋ T cell infiltrates, but in the cotnrol group, no or few T lymphocytes were seen in the mouse tumor tissue. It was concluded that SEA-Fab＇ was more effective to activate T lymphocytes to kill the tumor cells than SEA used alone. It was feasibility by using the monoclonal antibody as carrier to perform the targeted Immunotherapy of gatric tumor.展开更多

Methods: The DR5 receptor of SMMC-7721 cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). For further experimental application, SMMC-7721 cells were treated with proper dose of mDRA-6, nimesulide, or mDRA-6 plus 200 μmol/L nimesulide; untreated SMMC-7721 cells were comparably set as control. Cytotoxicity was tested by MTT assay; cell morphology was examined using Hoechst 33258 staining; and apoptosis was determined by FCM. Results: The positive rate of DR5 on SMMC-7721 was 95.0%. Either mDRA-6 or nimesulide alone induces SMMC-7721 cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of 1,600 ng/mL mDRA-6 for 12h led to a cell-death rate of 35.0%, while an increased cell-death rate (91.1%) was found under the same condition of mDRA-6 treatment supple- mented with 200 μmol/L nimesulide. Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V/PI staining confirmed apoptosis as the main cause of this anti-tumor response. Conclusion: Both mDRA-6 and nimesulide can induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, and they have synergistic anti-tumor activities against SMMC-7721.展开更多

The results show that ferulic acid decreases diosbulbin B-increased serum alanine transaminase/aspartate transaminase （ALT/AST） levels. Ferulic acid also decreases lipid peroxide （LPO） levels which are elevated in diosbulbin B-treated mice. Histological evaluation of the liver demonstrates hydropic degeneration in diosbulbin B-treated mice, while ferulic acid reverses this injury. Moreover, the activities of copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase （CuZn-SOD） and catalase （CAT） are decreased in the livers of diosbulbin B-treated mice, while ferulic acid reverses these decreases. Further results demonstrate that the mRNA expressions of CuZn-SOD and CAT in diosbulbin B-treated mouse liver are significantly decreased, while ferulic acid prevents this decrease. In addition, ferulic acid also augments diosbulbin B-induced tumor growth inhibition compared with diosbulbin B alone. Taken together, the present study shows that ferulic acid prevents diosbulbin B-induced liver injury via ameliorating diosbulbin B-induced liver oxidative stress injury and augments diosbulbin B-induced anti-tumor activity.展开更多

[Methods] The inhibitory activities of different extracts and total flavonoids of S. bulbiferum on proliferation of three kinds of cancer cells( Hep G2,EC109,SW480) were tested by MTT assay. HPLC method for determination of quercetin and kaempferol in S. bulbiferum was established. [Results]The growth and proliferation of the three kinds of cancer cells were all significantly inhibited by ethyl acetate fraction and total flavonoids isolated from S. bulbiferum. With each extraction concentration increasing,stronger anti-tumor activity was found. The linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol were 0. 03-0. 36 μg( R = 0. 999 9) and0. 08-0. 96 μg( R = 0. 999 9),and the average recoveries were 98. 90%( RSD = 1. 15%) and 98. 27%( RSD = 1. 70%),respectively.[Conclusions]S. bulbiferum has significant anti-tumor activity in vitro. The HPLC method established was accurate,reproducible,and could be used for quality control of this crude drug.展开更多

文摘Direct administration of drugs and genes to the lungs by pulmonary delivery offers a potential effective therapy for lung cancers.In this study,combined doxorubicin（DOX） and Bcl2 siRNA was employed for cancer therapy using polyethylenimine（PEI） as the carrier of Bcl2 siRNA.Most of the DOX and siRNA possessed high cellular uptake efficiency in B16F10 cells,which was proved by FCM and CLSM analysis.Real-time PCR showed that PEI/Bcl2 siRNA exhibited high gene silencing efficiency with 70%Bcl2 mRNA being knocked down.The combination of DOX and siRNA could enhance the cell proliferation inhibition and the cell apoptosis against B16F10 cells compared to free DOX or PEI/Bcl2 siRNA.Furthermore,the biodistribution of DOX and siRNA via pulmonary administration was studied in mice with B16F10 metastatic lung cancer.The results showed that most of the DOX and siRNA were accumulated in lungs and lasted at least for 3 days,which suggested that combined DOX and siRNA by pulmonary administration may have high anti-tumor effects for metastatic lung cancer treatment in vivo.

文摘The continuous increase in the incidence rate of various fatal malignant tumors in the recent years warrants an imperative search for medications or drugs with obvious anti-tumor eflects and reliable curative effects.Previous studies have found that Curcuma zedoaria and its active ingredients,such as turmeric oil,curcumol,and P-elemene,have obvious antitumor effects,and they do not have the adverse reactions and side effects seen in the anti-tumor drugs of Western medicine.Based on the review and inductive analysis of related literature,we summarize in the present article the results of some researchers who investigated the anti-tumor effects of Curcuma zedoaria and its active ingredients through the immune regulation mechanism.
文摘Summary： The anti-tumor effect and mechanism of SEA-Fab＇ coupled protein on gastric tumor was studied. The target cell Walke-256 was treated with SEA-Fab＇ synthesized chemically or SEA respectively for 24 h, 36 h or 72 h. PBMC＋Walke-256 cells served as controls. The apoptotic index of SEA-Fab＇ against effector cells was detected. In the mouse gastric cancer models （n=60）, SEA-Fab＇, SEA and normal saline was injected in experimental group, SEA group and control group respectively. The occurrence and weight of tumor was observed. The results showed that the apoptotic index was significantly higher in the SEA-Fab＇ （34.6 -68.9%） and SEA group （15.5-31.9%） than in PBMC＋Walker-256 group （5.5%-12.8%） with the difference being significant （P〈0.01）. And there was significant difference between SEA-Fab＇ group and SEA group （P〈0.01）. The tumor weight in SEA-Fab＇, SEA and control groups was 3.6±0.53 g, 0. 78±0. 26 g and 0.49±0. 17 g respectively with the difference being statistically significant between the SEA-Fab＇ group, SEA group and the control group （P〈0.01）. In the SEA-Fab＇s and SEA groups, there were CD4^＋ T and CD8^＋ T cell infiltrates, but in the cotnrol group, no or few T lymphocytes were seen in the mouse tumor tissue. It was concluded that SEA-Fab＇ was more effective to activate T lymphocytes to kill the tumor cells than SEA used alone. It was feasibility by using the monoclonal antibody as carrier to perform the targeted Immunotherapy of gatric tumor.

文摘Objective: The aim of this work was to evaluate anti-tumor effects of mDRA-6 plus nimesulide on a human hepatocellular cancer cell line, SMMC-7721, and study the main mechanisms. Methods: The DR5 receptor of SMMC-7721 cells was detected by flow cytometry (FCM). For further experimental application, SMMC-7721 cells were treated with proper dose of mDRA-6, nimesulide, or mDRA-6 plus 200 μmol/L nimesulide; untreated SMMC-7721 cells were comparably set as control. Cytotoxicity was tested by MTT assay; cell morphology was examined using Hoechst 33258 staining; and apoptosis was determined by FCM. Results: The positive rate of DR5 on SMMC-7721 was 95.0%. Either mDRA-6 or nimesulide alone induces SMMC-7721 cell death in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of 1,600 ng/mL mDRA-6 for 12h led to a cell-death rate of 35.0%, while an increased cell-death rate (91.1%) was found under the same condition of mDRA-6 treatment supple- mented with 200 μmol/L nimesulide. Hoechst 33258 and Annexin V/PI staining confirmed apoptosis as the main cause of this anti-tumor response. Conclusion: Both mDRA-6 and nimesulide can induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells, and they have synergistic anti-tumor activities against SMMC-7721.

文摘The present study is designed to investigate the protection by ferulic acid against the hepatotoxicity induced by diosbulbin B and its possible mechanism, and further observe whether ferulic acid augments diosbulbin B- induced anti-tumor activity. The results show that ferulic acid decreases diosbulbin B-increased serum alanine transaminase/aspartate transaminase （ALT/AST） levels. Ferulic acid also decreases lipid peroxide （LPO） levels which are elevated in diosbulbin B-treated mice. Histological evaluation of the liver demonstrates hydropic degeneration in diosbulbin B-treated mice, while ferulic acid reverses this injury. Moreover, the activities of copper- and zinc-containing superoxide dismutase （CuZn-SOD） and catalase （CAT） are decreased in the livers of diosbulbin B-treated mice, while ferulic acid reverses these decreases. Further results demonstrate that the mRNA expressions of CuZn-SOD and CAT in diosbulbin B-treated mouse liver are significantly decreased, while ferulic acid prevents this decrease. In addition, ferulic acid also augments diosbulbin B-induced tumor growth inhibition compared with diosbulbin B alone. Taken together, the present study shows that ferulic acid prevents diosbulbin B-induced liver injury via ameliorating diosbulbin B-induced liver oxidative stress injury and augments diosbulbin B-induced anti-tumor activity.
文摘[Objectives] To investigate the anti-tumor activity of Sedum bulbiferum Makino in vitro,and establish a HPLC method for determination of quercetin and kaempferol in S. bulbiferum. [Methods] The inhibitory activities of different extracts and total flavonoids of S. bulbiferum on proliferation of three kinds of cancer cells( Hep G2,EC109,SW480) were tested by MTT assay. HPLC method for determination of quercetin and kaempferol in S. bulbiferum was established. [Results]The growth and proliferation of the three kinds of cancer cells were all significantly inhibited by ethyl acetate fraction and total flavonoids isolated from S. bulbiferum. With each extraction concentration increasing,stronger anti-tumor activity was found. The linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol were 0. 03-0. 36 μg( R = 0. 999 9) and0. 08-0. 96 μg( R = 0. 999 9),and the average recoveries were 98. 90%( RSD = 1. 15%) and 98. 27%( RSD = 1. 70%),respectively.[Conclusions]S. bulbiferum has significant anti-tumor activity in vitro. The HPLC method established was accurate,reproducible,and could be used for quality control of this crude drug.
文摘A statin is a cholesterol-lowering agent,which inhibits HMG-CoA(3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A)reductase and subsequently reduces the cholesterol precursor,and was first used commercially in 1987.The concept of cholesterol restriction leading to cancer cell dysfunction was proposed in 1992.The interruption of different signaling pathways has been proved in preclinical experiments to elucidate the anti-tumor mechanism of statins in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.Observational studies have shown that the clinical use of statins is beneficial in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma,including a chemoprevention effect,post-surgical resection follow-up and therapeutic prognosis of advanced cancer stage.Arrest of the cancer cell cycle by the combined use of gemcitabine and statin was observed in a cell line study.The effect of microbiota on the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a new therapeutic approach as statins can modulate the gut microbiota.Hence,further randomized trials of statins in pancreatic adenocarcinoma treatment will be warranted with application of precision medicine from microbiota-derived,cell cycle-based and signaling pathway-targeted research.

文摘BACKGROUND With the rapid development of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(haplo-HSCT),primary poor graft function(PGF)has become a lifethreatening complication.Effective therapies for PGF are inconclusive.New Chinese patent medicine Pai-Neng-Da(PND)Capsule exerts dual effect in promoting hematopoiesis recovery and regulating immunity.Still,the application of PND capsule in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,especially in the haplo-HSCT setting,has not yet been reported.AIM To evaluate the role of PND capsule in acute leukemia patients with haplo-HSCT.METHODS We retrospectively collected data of acute leukemia patients who underwent haplo-HSCT at the Affiliated People’s Hospital of Ningbo University between April 1,2015 and June 30,2020.Twenty-nine consecutive patients received oral PND capsule from the sixth day to the first month after haplo-HSCT were included in the PND group.In addition,31 patients who did not receive PND capsule during haplo-HSCT were included in the non-PND group.Subsequently,we compared the therapeutic efficacy according to the western medical evaluation indexes and Chinese medical symptom scores,and the survival between the PND group and the non-PND group,using the chi-square test,Fisher’s exact test,and the Kaplan-Meier method.RESULTS The duration of platelet engraftment was shorter in the PND group than in the non-PND group(P=0.039).The PND group received a lower frequency of red blood cells and platelet transfusions than the non-PND group(P=0.033 and P=0.035,respectively).In addition,PND capsule marginally reduced the rate of PGF(P=0.027)and relapse(P=0.043).After 33(range,4-106)months of follow-up,the 3-year relapse-free survival(P=0.046)and progression-free survival(P=0.049)were improved in the PND group than in the non-PND group.Also,the therapeutic efficacy of the PND group according to Chinese medical symptom scores was significantly better than that of the non-PND group(P=0.022).Moreover,the adverse events caused by PND capsule were mild.Nevertheless,there were no significant differences in the duration of neutrophil engraftment,the risk of infection within 100 days after haplo-HSCT,the acute graft-versus-host disease,or the 3-year overall survival between the two groups.CONCLUSION PND capsule could promote hematopoiesis reconstitution,improve the therapeutic efficacy of Chinese medical symptom scores,present anti-tumor effectiveness,and prolong the survival of acute leukemia patients with haplo-HSCT.

文摘Currently,the mortality rate of malignant tumors ranks second globally,surpassed only by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.The treatment of malignant tumors poses a formidable challenge to both modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).To date,TCM has developed a substantial foundational theoretical understanding and accumulated significant clinical experience in combating tumors.According to TCM foundational theories,"Qi deficiency"is a critical symptom associated with cancer,and"fortifying the body's vitality while expelling pathogens"is the cornerstone of TCM's approach to tumor treatment and bodily balance.Codonopsis pilosula(CP),a Qi-invigorating herb,is known to invigorat the spleen,benefit the lungs,nourish the blood,and promote bodily fluids.It is often employed as a substitute for ginseng in clinical settings.Prolonged clinical observations have identified key active constituents of CP,such as Codonopsis polysaccharides,isoimperatorin,saponins,lobetyolin,sesquiterpene lactones,and muscone.These ingredients exhibit various therapeutic properties,including anti-tumor,immunomodulatory,anti-infective,antioxidant,and hematopoiesis-enhancing effects.Additionally,when CP is combined with other TCM herbs like Astragalus and Atractylodes macrocephala,it bolsters the body's vital energy and rejuvenates both Qi and blood.CP can be used in combination with chemotherapy agents to mitigate the adverse effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Moreover,CP demonstrates potential in preventing precancerous lesions.This review summarizes recent research findings on the anti-tumor properties of CP,elucidates the anti-tumor effects and molecular mechanisms of its active components,provides a basis for promoting the utilization of CP resources and its active constituents,and offers insights for the research and development of new anti-tumor drugs.
