Objective To observe the effects of DanShen on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma in malignant obstructive jaundice in the SD rat model. Methods The model was established by vaccination of transplanting tumour in the porta hepatis with the walker-256 hepatocarcine line, and then obstruction was caused by the infiltration and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. ② The SD rats were divided into four groups: the rats treated by 0.9% NS (n=12), the rats treated by Inosine + Vitamin C (n=20), the rats treated by DanShen (n=20) and the rats treated by 5-FU(n=20). ③ The liver function, morphological changes and the expression of PCNA VEGF and ICAM-1 in carcinoma and peri-carcinoma tissues, adjacent lobe (left-internal lobe) as well as lung tissues were observed after four experimental groups were successively treated by four medicines. ④ Statistical analysis was done to the experimental results. Results ① The growth of rats treated by DanShen injection showed that liver injury caused by malignant obstructive jaundice was significantly relieved compared with liver function and pathological morphological changes in other groups(P0.05); ③ The expression of PCNA VEGF and ICAM-1 in carcinoma, peri-carcinoma adjacent lobe (left-internal lobe) tissues as well as lung tissues were significantly downgraded in groups treated by DanShen injection compared with those in groups treated with 0.9%NS and Inosine combined with Vitamine C (P0.05). Conclusion DanShen injection not only has protective effects on liver injury caused by obstructive jaundice, but the medicine can inhibit the proliferation and growth of hepatocarcinoma, interfere with the vascularization of tumors, and prevent recurrence and metastasis of hepatocarcinoma.

Cell secreted sulfatase 2 is an endogenous sulphate esterase, which can hydrolyze the sulphate groups in extracellular matrix or on the chain of heparan sulphate on the outer surface of cell membrane, which can dissociate the growth factor bound to heparan sulphate proteoglycan, improve the local concentration of growth factor and activate the downstream signal. Sulfatase 2 is highly expressed in a variety of tumors, and the increased expression of sulfatase 2 in hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with poor prognosis. Sulfatase 2 can promote tumor progression by activating multiple signaling pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Inhibit the activity of hepatocellular carcinoma cell sulfatase 2, and then inhibit the proliferation, migration and tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. In this paper, the research progress of sulfatase 2 and its role in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma is summarized.

Interactions between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and the tumor stromal microenvironment have profound effects on tumor growth,epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT),invasion and metastasis.Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the major subtype of stromal cells in the liver tumor microenvironment.HCC cells can induce the activation of HSCs during carcinogenesis,while activated HSCs promote HCC cells growth and migration through secreting growth factors,inducing angiogenesis and immune suppression.Bidirectional interactions between HCC cells and HSCs may function as an "amplification loop" to further enhance metastatic growth in the liver.In this review,we summarized the most recent data from the research on HSCs and its relationship with HCC.
