Antitumor Effect of Water Decoctions of Taxus Cuspidate on Pancreatic Cancer
Figure 5
The water decoction of Taxus cuspidate suppresses cancer-related inflammation in pancreatic cancer. (a) Western blot analysis was used to measure the expression of inflammatory regulator NF-KB (P65) and stat3 in cells derived from four representative implanted samples from each group. The band intensities were measured by densitometry and the relative indicated protein expression was shown. *** compared with the control group. (b) IHC staining with anti-p65 antibody was performed using sections of transplanted tumors from each group. P65 was evaluated quantitatively by calculating the ratio of the P65-positive area to the total area in each field and the mean value from 5 fields under 200x microscopy was determined. Original magnification 200. (A) Control group, (B) low concentration group, (C) middle concentration group, and (D) high concentration group.
