Objective: To investigate the effect of Liuwei Dihuang Wan on spontaneous breast carcinoma in mice. Method: The spontaneous breast carcinoma derived in kunming mice (clean class) was used as animal model. The mice were given Liuwei Dihuang Wan to their agonal stage. The cancer mass pathology was analyzed by HE staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and cyclin D3 were assayed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Result: In Liuwei Dihuang Wan group
the tumor weight and expression of VEGF and cyclin D3 gene were obviously lower than that in the control groups(P<0.05). The cell differentiation was also better than that in the control group. Conclusion: Liuwei Dihuang Wan can retrain the growth of cancer and promote the cancer cell differentiation. The possible mechanism is related with the retrained expression of VEGF and cyclin D3 gene.
