Role of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin in the treatment of Lewis lung cancer based on PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway
Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment on tumor growth in mice with Lewis lung cancer,and to explore the molecular mechanism of Guiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin through phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian rapamycin target protein(PI3K/Akt/mTOR)signal pathway.Methods Sixty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 mice in each group.Except for the blank group(0.9％NaCl),Lewis lung cancer-bearing mice were randomly divided into model group(0.9％NaCl),control group(0.9％NaCl,cisplatin 5 mg·kg-1)and low,medium,high dose experimental groups(Guiqi Yiyuan ointment 1.6,3.3,6.6 g·kg-1,cisplatin 5 mg·kg-1).Flow cytometry was used to detect bone marrow-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs);the expression of related proteins in tumor tissues was detected by Western blot.Results The tumor inhibition rates in control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups were(39.87±4.45)％,(45.74±14.97)％,(57.78±4.70)％and(69.82±11.05)％.The proportion of MDSCs in bone marrow of in blank group,model group,control group and low,medium,high dose experimental groups were(36.13±1.08)％,(68.63±2.94)％,(58.93±2.02)％,(58.00±1.50)％,(50.93±5.06)％and(43.07±2.41)％.The protein expressions of p-PI3K/PI3K in model group,control group and low,medium and high experimental groups were 0.97±0.03,0.77±0.02,0.72±0.01,0.68±0.03 and 0.53±0.02;PTEN were 0.21±0.07,0.65±0.07,0.74±0.06,0.99±0.13,1.11±0.13;p-Akt/Akt were 1.01±0.02,0.82±0.02,0.77±0.00,0.72±0.03 and 0.52±0.04;p-mTOR/mTOR were 1.01±0.01,0.76±0.05,0.69±0.07,0.59±0.06 and 0.47±0.06.There were significant differences between low,medium,high experimental groups and control group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Guiqi Yiyuan ointment combined with cisplatin can significantly improve the quality of life and inhibit tumor growth in mice.The mechanism may be the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway and the enhancement of tumor cell apoptosis and autophagy.
