[Method] The H= tumor cells were transplanted in the right axillary skins of mice. The tumor- bearing mice were randomly divided into five groups, including control group, CTX group （20.0 mg/kg） and buddlejasaponin IV treatment groups （0.25, 0.50 and 1.00 mg/kg）. There were 10 mice in each group. During the treatment, the body weights and survivals of mice in all groups were recorded. The buddlejasaponin IV was in- jected into the abdominal cavities of mice, which lasted for 10 consecutive days. All the mice were slaughtered the next day. The tumors in the abdominal cavities were tanked out and weighed. The tumor inhibition rate, spleen index and thymus index, as well as SOD activity, MDA content, GGT activity and AKP activity in serum were determined. [Result] Compared with the control group, the high- and middle- dosage buddlejasaponin IV treatment groups all showed significant （P〈0.01） inhibito- ry effects on transplanted H22 tumor in mice with tumor inhibition rates of 56.96% and 50.63%, respectively. Compared with those in the control group, the SOD ac- tivity of mice in the high-dosage buddlejasaponin IV treatment group was significant- ly increased （P〈0.05）, and the MDA contents, GGT and AKP activities in mice in the high-, middle- and low-dosage buddlejasaponin IV treatment groups were all sig- nificantly reduced （P〈0.01）. There were no significant differences in all the indexes, except SOD activity, between the CTX and control groups. [Conclusion] Buddlejas- aponin IV has certain inhibitory effect on H22 tumor, of which the mechanism might be related to antioxidation capacity in body.展开更多

Methods： Animal models were established by transplanting H22 hepatoma cells to the left oxter of mice, and ten days later they were randomly divided into five groups： blank control group （edible oil）, positive control group （HCFU） and Tagalsin group, including low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose group. All mice were killed 24 h after medication, during which observation was conducted concerning survival conditions, body weight changes, spleen weight and tumor weight of tumor-bearing mice; the spleen index and the tumor inhibitor rate （IR） were calculated and pathological changes of tumor-bearing mice were observed by HE dye. Apoptosis factors p53 and Survivin mRNA were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. Results： Tagalsin can inhibit hepatoma growth effectively without influencing spleen index and body weight, the tumor inhibitor rate （IR） of low, middle and high dose group of Tagalsin were 15.81%, 36.75% and 74.79% respectively, the tumor inhibitor rate （IR） of HCFU were 73.93%. Apoptosis cells could be found from the specimen of the positive control group and Tagalsin groups. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） results showed that positive control group’s and Tagalsin treatment groups’ p53 gene expression enhanced significantly and Survivin gene expression dropped comparing with blank group （P 0.05）. Conclusion： Tagalsin can inhibit growth of the H22 hepatoma cells significantly, the mechanism of anti-tumor effect may work by up-regulating p53 expression and down-regulating Survivin expression. Tagalsin may be considered as a potential candidate for chemoprevention.展开更多
