RESUMO
Aim To study the antitumor effect of cispl-atin ( DDP) chemotherapy promoted by Taohong Siwu Decoction (TSD) on mice with lung adenocarcinoma mice. Methods Lewis lung carcinoma cell line was used to make homologous lung adenocarcinoma trans¬plantation mouse model. Normal control, Model, TSD, DDP, TSD + DDP groups were set up. The change of transplanted tumor volume after administration was observed, the weight of transplanted tumor was weighed, the expression of Ki67 in transplanted tumor tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry, TUNEL was detected by fluorescence staining, Bcl-2, Bax, cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-9 were detected by immunoblotting, and the content of D-dirtier in plasma was measured by ELISA. Results DDP plus TSD significantly inhibited the growth of transplanted tumor. Ki67 expression in tumor tissue was lower than that in DDP group (28. 3% ±3. 1% vs 40. 3% ±2.1% ). The combined use of TSD and DDP significantly promoted the apoptosis level of transplanted tumor. The positive rate of TUNEL was significantly higher than that of DDP group (41. 0% ±3.0% vs 30.7% ± 4.5%). Bax, cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved Caspase-9 expressions in tumor tissue were also higher than those of DDP group, while the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly lower than that of DDP group. Moreover, we found a significant interaction between TSD and DDP on the expression of four apoptotic proteins ( P < 0.05 ) . The plasma D-dimer content in TSD + DDP group was significantly lower than that in DDP group (188. 50 ± 28. 46 vs 269.80 ± 35.92) μg • L
