Effect of Xiaoshui Formula Combined with Cisplatin on Th17/Treg Immune Balance in Lung Cancer Xenografts in Mice with Pleural Effusion
Objective: To investigate the effect of Xiaoshui formula(XSF) combined with cisplatin on Th17/Treg immune balance in lung cancer xenografts in mice with pleural effusion. Method: Seventy five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into XSF group
cisplatin (DDP) group
Xiaoshui formula+cisplatin (XSF+DDP) group
model group and blank group. The blank group was injected with phosphate buffered saline(PBS) buffer via the chest cavity
and the other groups were injected with Lewis lung cancer cells via the chest cavity
in order to establish animal models. After 10 days of continuous administration
10 mice in each group were put to death. The numbers of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6)
interleukin-17A (IL-17A)
interleukin-21 (IL-21)
interleukin-23 (IL-23) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in peripheral blood were measured by CBA and enzymelinked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA). The mRNA and protein expressions of retinoic acid-related orphan receptorγt(RORγt) and Foxp3 in mouse spleen tissues were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and Western blot. Result: The numbers of Th17 and Treg cells in peripheral blood of all of groups were higher than that in the blank group (P<0.05
P<0.01). Compared with the model group
the number of Th17 cells was significantly increased (P<0.05)
and the number of Treg cells was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in both XSF+DDP group and XSF group. The contents of IL-6
IL-17A and IL-21 in XSF+DDP group were significantly higher than those in other groups (P<0.01). Compared with XSF group
model group and blank group respectively
the XSF+DDP group could significantly increase the content of IL-23 (P<0.05)
and decrease the content of TGF-β1 (P<0.05). Compared with DDP and model group
the expression of RORγt mRNA in spleen tissue was increased in the XSF+DDP group and the XSF group (P<0.01)
and Foxp3 mRNA expression was reduced (P<0.05). Compared with model group
XSF+DDP group could up-regulate RORγt protein expression (P<0.05) and down-regulate Foxp3 protein expression (P<0.01) in spleen tissue. Conclusion: Traditional Chinese medicine XSF combined with cisplatin may increase the level of Th17 cells and down-regulate the level of Treg cells
so as to regulate Th17/Treg immune balance and inhibite MPE.
