RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of Shenqi Fuzheng Injection (SFI) on gene expression profile of liver tissue with metastatic carcinoma in mice. METHODS: Twenty liver metastatic carcinoma model mice were established by splenectomy after their spleens were injected with 0.2 mL colon cancer C26 cell strain oncocyte liquid, then they were randomly divided into the model group and the SFI group. Starting from the 5th day after modeling, mice in the model group and the SFI group were given via intraperitoneal injection once every other day with physiological saline and SFI respectively. All the mice were sacrificed at the 15th day and the gene profile of metastatic liver carcinoma tissue in the two groups were screened by whole genome chip technique. RESULTS: (1) The model establishing successful rate reached 100%; (2) Gene expression showed that as compared with the model group, in the SFI group, 123 genes were up-regulated, with 52 of them registered to Ensemble, while only one gene was down-regulated and registered to Ensemble was none. CONCLUSION: SFI plays its role of anti-tumor mainly by upregulating several relative genes to promote apoptosis of tumor cells and stabilizing chromosomes.
