Objective

To explore the mechanisms of Runing RecipeⅡ (a recipe composed of traditional Chinese herbs) in inhibiting the growth of breast cancer by observing its effects on the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins and cell cycle of the transplanted Ca761 breast cancer in mice.

Methods

We established the breast cancer model by transplanting Ca761 cells in mice. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal saline control group, CTX-treated group, Runing RecipeⅡ-treated group, and Runing RecipeⅡand CTX-treated group, with 12 mice in each group. We detected the cell cycle of the cancer cells in the mice’s transplanted tumor with flow cytometry and measured the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins in the transplanted tumor with immunohistochemical methods.

Results

The percentages of tumor cells in S-phase of the Runing RecipeⅡ-treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing RecipeⅡand CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that of the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The percentage of tumor cells in G0-G1 phase of the Runing RecipeⅡ-treated group was lower than that of the CTX-treated group (P<0.05), while the percentage of tumor cells in G2-M phase was higher than that of the CTX-treated group. The immunoreactive scores (IRSs) of p53 in the Runing RecipeⅡ-treated group and Runing RecipeⅡand CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The effect of CTX on the expression of p53 was not significant. The IRSs of ras oncogene protein in the RecipeⅡ-treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing RecipeⅡand CTX-treated group were lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Runing RecipeⅡ can inhibit the growth of Ca761 breast cancer in mice by controlling the cell cycle of the transplanted tumor. This may be related to its effect on the gene expressions of p53 and ras in the tumor tissue.
