Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the inhibitory effect of Sumu (Lignum Sappan) plus Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata) (SF) on the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.
METHODS
A lung carcinoma model was established by subcutaneously inoculating Lewis lung carcinoma cells into C57BL/6 mice. The mice were randomly divided into four groups of 13 mice (control, low-dose, moderate-dose, and high-dose), and gavaged once-daily for 21 consecutive days. The rates of tumor inhibition, metastasis, and metastasis inhibition were observed. The differential expressions of sP-selectin and vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) were compared between the treatment groups and the control group.
RESULTS
The tumor weights differed significantly between the treatment groups and the control group (P < 0.05). Administration of SF in the moderate-dosage and low-dose groups significantly inhibited the expression of sP-selectin and VEGFC (both P < 0.05), suggesting anti-tumor activity.
CONCLUSION
SF can inhibit the growth and metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma.
