Suppression
of Tumor Growth and induction of Apoptosis of Various Cancer Cells
by Tien Hsien Liquid (2002.11.1~2004.6.30)
Through
tumor inhibition experiments on redents, it was confirmed that Tien
Hsien Liquid is capable of activating anti-cancer immune function
in animals. We suggest that similar trials done on humans may obtain
similar results.

Content

C-33A human cervical cancer cells and CT-26-1 rodent colon cancer
cells were planted onto 6-well circular culture tanks. After over-night
culture, the broths from the tanks were cleared and replaced with
fresh culture broths and various concentrations of Tien Hsien
Liquid supernatant, or 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5% fraction supernatants.
After treating C-33A cells for 4~12 hours with 1% Tien Hsien Liquid,
cells were collected. Cellular proteins, cytoplasm and mitochondrial
proteins were extracted to undergo Western Blot and to calculate
the apoptosis ratio.
-
I. CT-26
cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 culture medium containing 10%
FBS, while CT26-1 and C-33A cells were cultured in two other Dulbecco’s
Modified Eagle Medium with 10% FBS. All three cultured cells were
placed in culture tanks at 37? with 5% CO2.
II. Female BALB/c
rodents at 5~7weeks were separated in to 2groups. One group was
fed twice daily with 200µL of Super Tien Hsien Liquid, while
the other group was fed twice daily with 200µL sterile water.
III. Five experiments
were conducted. A 26G needle was used to subcutaneously inject
CT-26 and CT-26-1 cells into the backs of the rodents. The tumor
size and volume were recorded regularly.
Result
-
Tien Hsien Liquid can cause many cancer cells to undergo apoptosis.
In C-33A human cervical cancer cells, Tien Hsien Liquid could
decrease Bcl-2 expression but increase Bax expression in C-33A
cells. Because Bax can move from cytoplasm into mitochondria to
induce cytochrome C release, the mitochondrial route is possibly
used to induce apoptosis of C-33A cells.
-
Results from 5 experiments showed that when comparing rodents
fed with Tien Hsien Liquid to those fed with sterile water, rodents
fed Tien Hsien Liquid were less likely to grow tumors and their
tumors were significantly smaller. These results indicate that
Tien Hsien Liquid can activate the body’s immune system
to inhibit tumor growth.
