Objective: To explore the effects of effective components of Qi-toads colon-specific oral tablets (ECOQCOT) combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on CT26 colon carcinoma transplanted tumors
and investigate the T-lymphocyte levels in the peripheral blood and the protein expression of related apoptosis regulatory factors in tumour tissues. Method: Subcutaneous transplanted tumor models were established in CT26 tumour-bearing mice
and then were randomly divided into model group
early intervention group
synchronous intervention group
delayed intervention group
5-FU group (20 mg·kg-1)
and ECOQCOT group (22 g·kg-1). The growth curves of transplanted tumors were drawn and tumour inhibition rate was calculated in each group. the T-lymphocyte levels in the peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry
the protein expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Result: The tumour inhibition rate was 43.63%
34.35%
31.12%
26.91%and 18.67%respectively in early intervention group
synchronous intervention group
delayed intervention group
5-FU group and ECOQCOT group. As compared with the model group
the percentage of CD3+
CD4+
CD8+ T cells and CD4+/CD8+ were increased in all treatment groups
and the above indexes in early intervention group and synchronous intervention group were significantly increased (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the protein expressions of Bax in early intervention group and synchronous intervention group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05
P<0.01)
the protein expressions of Bcl-2 in early intervention group
synchronous intervention group
delayed intervention group and 5-FU group were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.05
P<0.01). Conclusion: ECOQCOT combined with 5-FU had stronger inhibiting effects on CT26 tumours than the single 5-FU group or single ECOQCOT group
and the early intervention group had the strongest inhibiting effects
the mechanism might be related with enhancing immune function and inducing the apoptosis of tumour cells.
