Relationship Between Metabolic Remodeling of Endothelial Cells and Tumor Angiogenesis Based on "Yin Fire" Theory and Intervention of Chinese Medicine
Endothelial cells in the inner wall of blood vessels respond to physical and chemical signals of the body by regulating vascular homeostasis, vascular tension, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, coagulation resistance and inflammatory factors, to maintain the stability of blood vessels. Angiogenesis is the key condition for tumor evolution, and the pathological mode of tumor angiogenesis provides nutrients and oxygen for tumor growth and promotes its proliferation. In recent years, endothelial cells have participated in tumor vascular infiltration and driven angiogenesis, which is considered to be the point link in tumor metastasis. By regulating metabolic remodeling, vascular endothelial cells provide the materials and energy needed in the process of tumor angiogenesis, and their abnormal metabolic characteristics facilitate their adaption to the changes of tumor microenvironment, which is often regarded as an important basis for tumor angiogenesis. The ''Yin fire'' theory in traditional Chinese medicine, originating from
Huangdi's Internal Classic
(
Huang Di Nei Jing
), originally meant Yin deficiency generates internal heat, and belonged to the category of fire of internal injury. After the deduction and changes by physicians over the ages, the pathogenesis of ''spleen and stomach Qi deficiency-Yin fire rising-Qi and fire disharmony'' was gradually formed. The pathogenesis of metabolic remodeling of endothelial cells manifests the pathological characterization of Yin fire in an objective way, which is consistent with the disease state of uncontrolled and hyperactive tumor neovascularization. Changes in spleen and stomach Qi deficiency as well as imbalance of Qi movement lead to the failure of water and food in distribution, and thus metabolic disorders occur. Long term retention turns in phlegm and blood stasis, which combat with blood vessels, and result in abnormal local environment (formation of tumor microenvironment), adverse pulse channel (imbalance of endothelial cell metabolism), and tumor neovascularization. Under the guidance of ''Yin fire'' syndrome elements and by focusing on the correlation between Qi and fire, prescriptions are made based on the treatment method of ''strengthening the body and regulating Qi'' to regulate the metabolic function of endothelial cells, thus achieving a relatively balanced state of the body and inhibiting tumor angiogenesis. As a result, this study, centering on the metabolic remodeling of endothelial cells and ''Yin fire'' theory, elucidated the academic ideas, with the purpose of providing some theoretical support for the intervention of tumor vascularization by Chinese medicine.
