RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the antitumor actions of polysaccharide extracts from the fruiting body of coriolus versicolor (CVE). Methods:Hepatoma HepA cells were injected into mice subcutaneously. Different doses of CVE were given by gavage. On the 7 th and 14 th day, tumor inhibitive rates were calculated. ELISA was performed to measure the serum IgG level; MTT was used to examine CVE′s effects on the proliferation of T lymphocytes of thymus. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine CVE′s influence on the expression of tumor related genes P53 and VEGF in liver. Results: CVE may evidently inhibit the growth of the transplanted HepA tumors. Its effects on the serum IgG level and on the proliferation of T lymphocytes of thymus were also significantly. Also, CVE markedly decreased the expression of P53, VEGF genes in liver. Conclustion: CVE had significant antitumor effects in vivo . The mechanisms may involve immune modulation effects and antimetastasis actions.
RESUMO
Effects of supernatants from cultured rat pineal glands on ConA and LPS induced proliferative responses of splenocytes in mice, ConA induced interleukin 2 (IL-2) production of splenocytes in rats were studied. These results showed that ConA and LPS induced proliferative responses of splenocytes were enhanced by supernatants from cultured rat pineal glands stimulated with 10 ?mol/L isoproterenol (ISO) for 60 min (Dilution. 1 : 45 ) , ConA induced IL-2 production of splenocytes in rats was also enhanced by the supernatants (Dilution: 1 : 135 ) .
RESUMO
In this paper, we studied the effects of azimexon on murine splenocyte proliferation and interlcukin-2(IL-2)production.IL-2 activity was detected by means of two method-murine thymocyte proliferation assay and CTLL2 proliferation assay,The results show that azimexon alone did not increase splenocyte proliferation and IL-2 production.But azimexon could markedly promote the proliferation and IL-2 production of splenocytes induced by ConA or LPS at a subopti-mal dose.
