摘要: 肝癌作为发病率极高的恶性肿瘤之一,同样也是恶性肿瘤死亡率极高的恶性肿瘤之一,其发生发展与“肝主疏泄、调畅气机”功能失常密切相关。近年来,中医药在肝癌的治疗与预后中具有独特优势。文章基于“肝为气之治”核心理论探讨了疏肝要药“柴胡”及其主要活性成分(如柴胡皂苷A、D、B2等)抗肝癌的主要作用机制。研究发现,柴胡及其活性成分可以通过诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡、抑制增殖与细胞周期阻滞、抑制肿瘤血管生成、调节细胞自噬、改善肿瘤免疫微环境以及调控NF-κB、PI3K/AKT等关键信号通路等多种途径抑制肝癌的发生发展。为中医药抗肝癌提供新的用药思路和方法。
Abstract: In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment and prognosis of liver cancer. Based on the core theory of “liver is the treatment of Qi”, this paper discusses the main mechanism of action of Bupleurum and its main active components (such as Saikosaponin A, D, B2, etc.) against liver cancer. Studies have found that Bupleurum chinense and its active components can inhibit the occurrence and development of liver cancer by inducing tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation and cell cycle arrest, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, regulating cell autophagy, improving tumor immune microenvironment, and regulating key signaling pathways such as NF-κB and PI3K/AKT to provide new drug ideas and methods for TCM anti liver cancer.
