ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Shenqi Yiliu Formula （参芪抑瘤方） in treating precancerous lesions of gastric cancer （PLGC） by the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MethodsThe CCK-8 assay was used to determine the optimal intervention time for Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum and the concentration of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway inhibitor XAV939 depends on the survival rate of AGS gastric cancer cell line. AGS cells were divided into the gastric cancer cell group （15% blank serum）， inhibitor group （selected concentration of XAV939）， high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （12% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 3% blank serum）， medium-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （6% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 9% blank serum）， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group （3% Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum + 12% blank serum）. Each group was tested in triplicate. After culturing for 24 and 48 hours， cell migration and invasion were assessed by scratch assays； after a selected intervention period （48 hours）， cell cycle distribution was analyzed using flow cytometry， Ki67 protein levels were detected by immunofluorescence， the protein levels of Wnt， β-catenin， GSK-3β， and intranuclear T-cell specific factor（TCF） were measured by the protein immunoblotting assay， and the mRNA expressions of these above factors were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. ResultsThe optimal intervention time for Shenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum was determined to be 48 hours， and the effective concentration of XAV939 was 20 μmol/L. Compared with the gastric cancer cell group， Shenqi Yiliu Formula at all doses reduced the cell migration rate at 24 and 48 hours （P＜0.05）， except for the low-dose group at 24 hours. Compared to the low-dose group at corresponding time points， high- and medium-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula groups showed significantly reduced migration rates， particularly the high-dose group at 48 hours （P＜0.05）. Compared with the gastric cancer cell group， the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula and inhibitor groups exhibited reduced protein and mRNA levels of Wnt， β-catenin， and TCF， along with reduced Ki67 protein levels and a decreased proportion of cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle， but GSK-3β protein levels， GSK-3β mRNA expression， and the proportion of cells in the G1 phase increased （P＜0.05）. Compared to the inhibitor group， the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu Formula group showed a decreased proportion of G1-phase cells and an increased proportion of G2-phase cells （P＜0.05）， although differences in Wnt and β-catenin protein levels and mRNA expressions were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu Formula drug-containing serum inhibits the migration and invasion of gastric cancer AGS cells and block the cell cycle at G1 phase， and its underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor with complex pathological mechanisms， a low early diagnosis rate， and a high mortality rate. However， surgical treatment， targeted therapy， and chemotherapy have their treatment limitations and toxic side effects. Therefore， exploring the pathogenesis and mechanism of gastric cancer and finding effective treatment methods are important. At present， researches has found that tumor epithelial cells exhibit individual differences in molecular characteristics and exhibit metabolic heterogeneity that affects cell phenotype and function. The interaction between metabolites and cytokines can inhibit the formation of the tumor immune microenvironment and promote malignant progression. Therefore， metabolic reprogramming is regarded as a key feature of tumors and plays an important role in the process of tumor occurrence and development. However， the continuous deterioration of gastric cancer may be closely related to changes in the energy metabolism of cancer cells. Gastric cancer cells may regulate the dysregulation of synthesis or decomposition pathways such as glucose metabolism， amino acid metabolism， lipid metabolism， and nucleotide metabolism and activate associated signaling pathways， key proteins， and genes， leading to proliferation， invasion， and metastasis of cancer cells. In recent years， there has been a close relationship between the effective intervention by traditional Chinese medicine in gastric cancer and the regulation of metabolic reprogramming. There has been some progress in the intervention research on effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine for cancer. This article summarized existing Chinese and foreign literature on how gastric cancer cells affect disease progression by regulating their related metabolic networks， such as glucose metabolism， amino acid metabolism， lipid metabolism， and nucleotide metabolism， as well as how effective ingredients and formulas of traditional Chinese medicine enhance anti-tumor effects through targeted metabolism. It reviewed metabolic reprogramming intervention in gastric cancer， providing a reference for research on metabolic reprogramming regulation by traditional Chinese medicine and new targets and strategies for the treatment and prognosis of gastric cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the tumor-suppressing effect of Shenqi Yiliu prescription combined with cisplatin in hepatoma H22-bearing mice based on the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten （PTEN）/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） pathway. MethodH22-bearing mice were prepared and randomized into model group， cisplatin group， and cisplatin combined with high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription groups， with 10 mice in each group. Another 10 healthy mice were randomly selected as normal group. Shenqi Yiliu prescription was given by gavage with the high， medium， low dose of 54.06， 27.03， 13.515 g·kg^-1·d^-1， respectively， and cisplatin （2.5 mg·kg^-1） was administered by intraperitoneal injection， twice a week. Normal group and model group received normal saline. After 13 days of treatment， mice were killed and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. The pathomorphological changes of tumor were observed based on hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the content of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A （p21） and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B （p27） in tumor tissue of mice. The levels of PTEN， PI3K and phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt） in tumor tissue were measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription decreased tumor mass （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with the high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. Necrosis of the tumor tissue was observed in each group， especially the cisplatin combined with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription group. As compared with the model group， cisplatin alone and cisplatin in combination with the high-， medium-， and low-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription raised the expression of p21， p27， and PTEN （P<0.05） and lowered the expression of PI3K and p-Akt （P<0.05）， particularly the cisplatin in combination with high-dose Shenqi Yiliu prescription. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription may regulate the expression of key molecules in PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thereby upregulating the expression of downstream proliferation inhibitors p21 and p27， further suppressing the tumor in H22-bearing mice， and enhancing the effect of chemotherapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of Shenqi Yiliu prescription in the intervention of pyroptosis. MethodTen male BALB/c mice were randomly selected and assigned to the blank group. The remaining 40 mice underwent the induction of the liver cancer xenograft model. After 5 days of modeling， 40 surviving mice were randomly divided into model group， cisplatin group ［2.5×10^-3 g·kg^-1·（3 d）^-1］， Shenqi Yiliu prescription group （27 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and a combination group （Shenqi Yiliu prescription group + cisplatin）. The mice in the blank group and the model group were treated with an equal volume of normal saline for 10 days. The general conditions of mice in each group were observed. After the intervention， the tumor weight of the mice was weighed and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological changes in tumor tissues. The levels of mouse liver function indicators， including alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） were detected. The TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling （TUNEL） assay was used to detect DNA damage in mouse tumor tissue cells. Immunohistochemistry （IHC）， immunofluorescence （IF）， and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 （Caspase-1）， and gasdermin D （GSDMD） in tumor tissues. The levels of interleukin-1β （IL-1β） and interleukin-18 （IL-18） in tumor tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultCompared with the mice in the blank group， those in the model group were in a poor mental state， sleepy， and lazy， and their fur color was dull， with increased levels of serum ALT and AST in liver function tests （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the groups with drug intervention showed improved mental state， inhibited tumor growth to varying degrees， and decreased tumor weight， and the tumor inhibition rate in the combination group was the highest （P<0.01）. HE staining showed that the pathological and morphological lesions of the tumor tissues in the model group were significant， while those in all groups with drug intervention were improved to a certain extent. The karyolysis and nuclear rupture in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group were more significant. In the liver function test， the serum ALT and AST levels of mice in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased （P<0.01）， and the inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 in each group with drug intervention decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Among them， the declining trend of IL-1β and IL-18 in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group was the most significant （P<0.01）. TUNEL staining showed that the positive TUNEL staining in each group with drug intervention decreased after intervention （P<0.05， P<0.01）， especially the cisplatin group and Shenqi Yiliu prescription group （P<0.01）. Western blot， IHC， and IF found that the protein expression levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and GSDMD in each group with drug intervention decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the mice in the cisplatin group， those in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group had better mental state and regular tumor morphology， and the tumor weight of the mice in the combination group decreased （P<0.05）. The levels of ALT and AST in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group decreased （P<0.05）， and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， especially in the combination group （P<0.01）. The results of IHC showed that the expression of GSDMD protein in the tumor tissues of mice in the combination group was reduced （P<0.01）. IF detection showed that the expression of NLRP3 in the tumor tissues of the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group was reduced （P<0.01）. The results of Western blot showed that the expression level of NLRP3 protein in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased （P<0.01）， and the expression level of Caspase-1 protein in the combination group decreased （P<0.01）. The decrease in GSDMD protein expression was not significant， and the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription combined with cisplatin has an obvious anti-tumor effect， which may be achieved by down-regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD inflammatory pyroptosis pathway to inhibit cell pyroptosis， and relieve the inflammatory response in mice with liver cancer.
