Methods: IL- 1 activity produced by peritoneal macrophages was investigated by murine thymocyte proliferating method; The content of IL-6 and IL-12 was detected by ELISA. Results: IL--1 activity and the contents of IL--6 and IL--12 secreted by peritoneal macrophages of nude mice in the WPG injection group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion: WPG of bifidobacteria can activate peritoneal macrophages to secret relatively large amount of IL- 1. IL- 6 and IL- 12.展开更多

Methods: The apoptotic cells and the positive expression of bcl-2 and bax oncoprotein were studied nude mice transplantation tumors of colorectal carcinoma by employing in situ end labeling technique and immunohistochemical staining. Results: The apoptotic cell density, the positive rate and the staining intensity of bax oncoprotein of the transplantation tumor of colorectal carcinoma in the whole peptidoglycan injection group were significantly higher when compared with the tumor control group. The positive rate of bcl-2 oncoportein in the whole peptidoglycan injection group was obviously lower than that in the tumor control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Whole peptidoglycan of Bifidobacterium bifidum could induce cell apoptosis of nude mice transplantation tumors of colorectal carcinoma by down-regulating the expression of the bcl-2 gene and upregulating the expression of the bax gene.展开更多
