Objective: To investigate the effects of Jianpi Yangzheng Xiaozheng decoction (JYXD) on gastric cancer growth
liver metastasis situation and metastasis-related genes. Method: The human gastric cancer model in nude mice was established and the mice were randomly divided into control group
5-Fu group
high-and low-dose JYXD groups. The inhibition rate of gastric cancer xenografts and liver metastases situation in nude mice were observed. The gene expressions of matrix metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2)
MMP-9
MMP-14
vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and reversion inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK) were detected by transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. The protein expressions of signal transducer and activator of transcription3 (STAT3)
MMP-2
MMP-9
MMP-14
VEGF and RECK were detected by Western Blot assay. Result: The average tumor weight was lower
the expressions of invasion and metastasis-related genes of MMP-2
MMP-9
MMP-14
VEGF decreased
the gene expression of RECK rised
the expression of invasion and metastasis-related proteins P-STAT3
MMP-2
MMP-9
MMP-14
VEGF decreased
and the protein expression of RECK rised in all dose JYXD groups as compard with the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: JYXD could inhibite the growth of gastric cancer xenografts liver metastase and down-regulate the expressions of P-STAT3
MMP-2
MMP-9
MMP-14
VEGF genes or proteins and upregulate the expressions of RECK gene or protein.
