ABSTRACT
Mitomycin C (MMC) has an antitumor effect and is considered as a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Sijunzi Decoction (SJZD), a well-known ancient Chinese prescription, is widely used in the treatment of cancer when combined with chemotherapy drugs. Studies have shown that SJZD can be combined with other drugs to enhance the therapeutic effect against cancer and inhibit the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs, but the specific mechanism is not clear. Thus, we hope to further explore the antitumor mechanism of combined SJZD and MMC. 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay, flow cytometry, western blot, 1H NMR and HPLC-MS were used to study the mechanism at the cellular level. The results show that the combined administration can have a more significant effect on inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells, promoting their apoptosis. Based on metabolomics, 38 biomarkers were found in the MMC group and 43 biomarkers were found in the combined administration group. Among them, 18 unique biomarkers were discovered in the combined administration group. Studies have shown that the antitumor mechanism of combined administration is related to amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, lipid metabolism and nucleotide metabolism, among which amino acid metabolism is the most important. In addition, SJZD achieves the effect of toxin reduction and efficiency enhancement by improving the body's immunity and improving the oxidative stress environment.
