Abstract:
Cervical cancer is the second cancer that threatens women' s health,and has attracted the attention of researchers at home and abroad because of its extremely high mortality rate. At present,most of the radiotherapy methods and chemical drugs for cancer treatment have serious side effects,and the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine have become the key research and development targets of anti-cancer drugs due to many advantages,such as multi-channel,multi-link,multi-target,and less toxicity. In recent years,researchers have been particularly active in researching the inhibitory activity and mechanism of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine for human cervical cancer cells. In this paper,the inhibitory activity and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine against human cervical cancer cells were investigated from crude extract of traditional Chinese medicine,polysaccharides,alkaloids,saponins,flavonoids,terpenoids,quinones,volatile oils,esters,phenols,arsenical,protein components as the starting point; anti-cervical cancer mechanism was investigated,such as inhibiting cell proliferation inducing apoptosis of cancer cells,inhibiting cell invasion,migration and focal adhesion kinase( FAK) phosphorylation,inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF)over-expression interfering with cell mitosis,inhibiting Granzyme activity,regulating cellular signaling pathway,down-regulating HPV E6 gene expression,and regulating immune function. Its in vitro inhibitory activity and mechanism of action on cervical cancer cells were reviewed,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of anti-cervical cancer drugs.
