Abstract

Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of Jinlongshe Granule drug-containing serum (JG-DS) on tube formation, migration, and apoptosis of human lymphatic endothelial cells ( HLECs) in vitro. Methods JG-DS was prepared. The 3rd-passage HLECs were divided into the control group (cultured with normal saline containing serum) and the experimental group (cultured with JG-DS). After cultured for 12 h, the tube formation ability was detected by Matrigel assay, and the migration ability was determined by Transwell assay in the two groups. Cell apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry and Annexin-V-FITC/Pl staining method. Results The total length of tube was (3 084. 49 ?326. 27) p.m after acted by 10% JG-DS for 12 h, significantly shorter than that of the control group (7 058.93 ?4 567. 39) pm (P <0.01). The migration number of HLECs was (99 ?26), obviously lower than that of the control group (160 ?32; P <0.05). The apoptosis rate of the two groups was not statistically significant (P >0.05). Conclusion JG could inhibit the tube formation and migration of HLECs in vitro, which might be one of mechanisms for inhibiting tumor micro-lymphatics.
