Abstract:
Purpose:To study the synergistic inhibitory effects of huachansu plus vinorelbine on cell growth in mice bearing Lewis lung cancer. Methods:Fifty mice bearing Lewis lung cancer were randomly divided into control group,cyclophosphamide group (CTX),huachansu group (HCS), vinorelbine group (VNB) and huachansu plus vinorelbine group (HV). Each group included ten mice. Normal saline (0.2 ml),cyclophosphamide (30 mg/kg),huachansu (5 ml/kg),vinorelbine (6.7 mg/kg),huachansu (5 ml/kg) plus vinorelbine group (6.7mg/kg) were injected intraperitoneally,respectively in the five groups. After the drugs were administered for seven days,all mice were sacrificed and the tumors were weighed. The tumor inhibitory rates were calculated and compared among the five groups of mice. The growth cycles of Lewis lung cancer were analyzed with flow cytometry. Results:The tumor inhibitory rates of HCS,VNB and HV group were 42.86% ,45.68%,53.44%,respectively. The percentage of S phase of cell cycle was increased in HCS and the percentage of G 2 /M phase increased in VNB,and both increased in HV group. Conclusions:There exists synergistic inhibitory effect on Lewis lung cancer between huachansu and vinorelbine and the mechanisms could correlate with their synergistic effect on cell growth cycles.
