Abstract:

Objective:To study the effects of Periplanet americana extract on spleen lymphocytes of H22 Tumor- bearing mice.
Methods:BALB/c mice were administered with low dose, middle dose and high dose of Periplaneta americana extract(50,100,200
mg/kg)by gavage. The positive group was injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. After 10-day feeding and injection respectively the
content of T lymphocytes in the spleen, lymphocyte cells, Monocyte cells and granulocyte cells in peripheral blood were measured, and
the anti-tumor rate was calculated. Results:The Periplaneta americana extract could obviously increase the content of CD8+ and the
tumor growth inhibition rate(P<0.05)compared with the normal group. Conclusion:Periplaneta americana extract can inhibit the
growth of H22 liver tumor in mice and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the content of CD8+ in the spleen.

Key words: Periplaneta americana, tumor H22-bearing mice, spleen, lymphocytes
