Objective To study the effect of Runing Ⅱ(Herbal Formula for Mammary Cancer) on the growth and metastasis of transplanted tumor of mammary cancer MA-891 TA2 mice and its mechanism.-Methods The models of mammary cancer MA-891 cell strain of transplanted tumor of TA2 mice with lung metastasis were made to observe the effect of Runing Ⅱ on the growth and metastasis of transplanted tumor.The immunohistochemical method and image analysis were adopted to test the level of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)
and microvessel area(MVA).-Results In the Runing Ⅱ group
the tumor weight inhibition rate and the lung metastasis inhibition rate were 37.3% and 65.4% respectively
the growth and metastasis were obviously inhibited;the level of VEGF
VEGFR
MVC and MVA was significantly lowered as compared with those of the tumor-control group(P<0.05).-Conclusion The herbal formula Runing Ⅱ can inhibit the metastasis of tumor through inhibiting the angiogenesis
its mechanism may be related to lowering the level of VEGF and the expression of VEGFR.
