Methods: Forty clean ICR healthy Kunming (KM) mice were randomly divided into four groups: model group, traditional Chinese medicine group (RRD), cyclophosphamide group (CTX) and combined drug group (RRD + CTX). Ten mice in each group were subcutaneously inoculated with S180 cell suspension at the axillary position to establish the model. After 24 h, the model group was given orally 0.02 mL/g/d with normal saline;RRD group was given orally 0.4 mL/20 g/d with RRD;CTX group was given orally 0.4 mL/20 g/d with normal saline and intraperitoneally 20 mg/kg/d with CTX;RRD+CTX group was given orally 0.4 mL/20 g/d with RRD and intraperitoneally 20 mg/kg/d with CTX once a day for 10 d. The expression of C-myc and Cath-D in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: RRD could significantly decrease the expression of C-myc and Cath-D in the tumor tissues of S180 tumor-bearing mice, and there was a significant difference between RRD and model group. Conclusion: The inhibitory effect of RRD on S180 tumor-bearing mice may be related to the inhibition of the expression of C-myc and Cath-D related proteins in tumor proliferation, invasion and metastasis.展开更多

Human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells were treated with 50 mg/L Polysaccharide extracts, and the mitosis index, mitochondria activity and cell proliferation were detected at different times in both control and experimental groups. The mice with S-180 implanted tumors were injected with the polysaccharide extracts at 24 mg/ kg body weight for 9 d and the tumorweight was measured on the 15th day.RESULTS The mitosis index of hepatoma cells in vitro could be significantly decreased by treatment with the polysaccharide extracts fromthe three kinds of edible fungi (P < 0 .005 ). Thecell numbers and mitochondria activity of SMMC7721 cells treated with polysaccharide extracts were lower than those in control groups (P <0.005). The inhibition rates of polysaccharide extracts against implanted S-180 tumors in mice were 52.8%, 56.6% and 51 .9% respectivelycompared with that in c0ntrol gr0ups.CONCLUSI0N The POIysaccharide extractsfrom the three kinds of edible fungi could inhibitnot only the Cultured malignant cells in vitfO butalso impIanted Sl80 tum0r i0 vivo.展开更多

The results showed that 2 of 3 developmental toxicants under consideration, sodium pentobarbital and ethanol, significantly inhibited S180cells attachment to Concanavalin A-coaed surfaces. Inhibition was dependent on concentration, and the IC50 (the concentration tha reduced attachment by 50% ), of these 2 chemicals was 1.2×10-3mol/L and 1 .0 mol/L, respectively. Anoher developmental toxiant, hydmiortisone, did not show inhibitory activity. Two non-developmental toxicants, sodium chloride and glycine were also tested and these did not decrease attachment rates. The main results reported here were generally sindlar to those obtained with ascitic mouse ovdrian tumor cells as a model. Therefore, this study added further evidence to the conclusion that cell specificity does not lindt attachment inhibition to Con A-coated surfaces, so S180 cell may serve as an altemative cell model, especially when other cell lines are unavailable. Furthermore, after optimal validation, it can be suggested that an S180 cell attachment assay may be a candidate for a series of assays to detect developmental toxicants.展开更多

Methods: Fifty Kunming healthy mice, half male and half female, were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group, model control group, cyclophosphamide group (CTX group), red raspberry group (RRD group) and combined administration of red raspberry and cyclophosphamide group (RRD + CTX group), with 10 mice in each group only. The other 40 mice were injected with 0.2 mLS180 tumor suspension at the right axilla to make the model experiment, except 10 mice in the normal control group. The next day, the normal control group and model control group were given intragastric administration of 0.02 mL/g/d saline, CTX group was given intragastric administration of 0.4 mL/20 g/d saline and 20 mg/kg/d CTX, RRD group was given intragastric administration of 0.4 mL/20 g/d RRD, RRD+CTX group was given intragastric administration of 0.4 mL/20 g/d RRD and 20 mg/kg/d CTX for 10 d, once a day. Serum levels of IL-2 and IL-10 were measured by ELISA, and thymus and spleen indexes were measured. Results: Red raspberry rhizome decoction could increase serum IL-2 level (P < 0.05), decrease IL-10 level (P < 0.05), increase thymus index (P < 0.05) and decrease spleen index (P < 0.05) in S180 mice. Conclusion:The anti-tumor effect of the water decoction of red raspberry rhizome may be related to the regulation of immune suppression and the improvement of immune organ function of the tumor-bearing organism.展开更多
