Synergistic effect of combining regorafenib and DSS-splenic tonics. (a). Weight change of HCCLM3 xenograft nude mice model treated with regorafenib (a), DSS-splenic tonics (b), Regorafenib + DSS-splenic tonics (c) and control; (b). Changes of subcutaneous tumor of HCCLM3 xenograft nude mice model treated with regorafenib and/or DSS-splenic tonics; (c). Size of primary tumor of HCCLM3 xenograft nude mice model treated with regorafenib and/or DSS-splenic tonics; (d) Lung metastasis of HCCLM3 xenograft nude mice model treated with regorafenib (REG), DSS-splenic tonics (DSS), Regorafenib + DSS-splenic tonics (REG-DSS) and control. DSS-spleen tonics downregulates VEGF, HIF-1α, VEGF-2 and MVD.
