Effect of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma on SDF-1/CXCR4/NF-κB Signaling Pathway of Orthotopic Transplantation Model of Colon Cancer in Mice
To explore the possible mechanism of Astragali Radix-Curcumae Rhizoma (AC) in inhibiting tumor growth in the orthotopic transplantation model of colon cancer in mice.
Method
2
The molecular docking technology was used to predict the intermolecular interaction between the main active components of AC and the pathway target proteins, such as stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), and nuclear factor kappa-B p65 (NF-
κ
B p65). The orthotopic transplantation model of CT26.WT colon cancer was established in mice for
in vivo
experimental verification. Sixty BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, a 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu, 30 mg·kg
-1
) group,and low- (0.32 g·kg
-1
), medium- (0.64 g·kg
-1
), and high-dose (1.28 g·kg
-1
) AC groups, with 10 mice in each group. The sham operation group and the model group received normal saline by gavage. The corresponding drugs were administered by gavage in the 5-Fu group and by intraperitoneal injection in the AC groups. After intervention for 15 days, the tumor
in situ
was completely stripped, and the colon tissues 5-6 cm in length adjacent to the tumor were taken. The tumor volume was measured and calculated. The pathological changes of tumor tissues and colon tissues were observed by Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of SDF-1, CXCR4, p-NF-
κ
B p65 in colon tissues. Western blot and Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect SDF-1, CXCR4, NF-
κ
B p65, Cyclin D
1
, oncogene c-Myc protein and mRNA expression in tumor tissues.
Result
2
Compared with the model group, 5-Fu and AC groups showed reduced tumor volumes
in situ
(
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01), with the tumor inhibition rate in the 5-Fu group as high as (61.38±2.34)%. The tumor-inhibiting effect was optimal in the medium-dose AC group, with the tumor inhibition rate of (43.43±3.71)%. Compared with the model group, 5-Fu and AC groups showed relieved pathological changes of tumor and colon tissues. Specifically, AC down-regulated the protein expression levels of SDF-1, CXCR4, and p-NF-
κ
B p65 in colon tissues (
P
<
0.01), and down-regulated the protein and mRNA expression levels of SDF-1, CXCR4, NF-
κ
B p65, Cyclin D
1
, and c-Myc in tumor tissues (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
AC can inhibit the growth of orthotopic transplantation tumor of colon cancer, and its intervention mechanism may be related to the regulation of related protein and mRNA expression in the SDF-1/CXCR4/NF-
κ
B signaling pathway.
