Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Huangqin Tang (HQT), a traditional Chinese medicine formula, is commonly used in clinical practice for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. It has been reported that HQT exerts antitumor effects on colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). However, the mechanism by which HQT interferes with the inflammation-to-cancer transformation remains unclear.
Aims Of The Study: The purpose of this study was to dynamically evaluate the efficacy of HQT in alleviating or delaying CAC and to reveal the underlying mechanism.
Methods: We established a mouse model of CAC using azoxymethane combined with 1.5% dextran sodium sulphate. The efficacy of HQT was evaluated based on pathological sections and serum biochemical indices. Subsequently, amino acids (AAs) metabolism analyses were performed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway was detected by western blotting.
Results: The data demonstrated that HQT could alleviate the development of CAC in the animal model. HQT effectively reduced the inflammatory response, particularly interleukin-6 (IL-6), in the inflammation induction stage, as well as in the stages of proliferation initiation and tumorigenesis. During the proliferation initiation and tumorigenesis stages, immunohistochemistry staining showed that the expression of the proliferation marker Ki67 was reduced, while apoptosis was increased in the HQT group. Accordingly, HQT substantially decreased the levels of specific AAs in the colon with CAC, including glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine, and isoleucine. Furthermore, HQT significantly inhibited the activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which may contribute to suppression of cell proliferation and enhancement of apoptosis.
Conclusion: HQT is effective in alleviating and delaying the colon "inflammation-to-cancer". The mechanism of action may involve HQT maintained AAs metabolism homeostasis and regulated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, so as to maintain the balance between proliferation and apoptosis, and then interfere in the occurrence and development of CAC.
