ABSTRACT

Our previous studies indicated that the extract of Yi-Yi-Fu-Zi-Bai-Jiang-San (YYFZBJS) had potent anticancer activities by significantly inhibiting intestinal tumor development in ApcMin/+ mice. However, knowledge regarding the mechanism and effect of YYFZBJS in the prevention of colorectal cancer is limited. In this study, we aim to investigate the preventive effects of YYFZBJS in enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF)-colonized mice with azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced tumorigenesis. First, the colonic tissues of the AOM/DSS mouse models were collected for biomedical analysis, and gut microbiota profiling was detected post YYFZBJS treatment using a 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Then, antibiotic solution (Abx) mice were acclimated with AOM/DSS treatment and then fed with ETBF with or without YYFZBJS for three cyc les. As expected, the intragastric administration of YYFZBJS in the AOM/DSS mouse model significantly decreased the tumor load, the severity of disease activity index (DAI) scores, and the level of M2 macrophage markers such as CD206, Arg-1 and IL-10. Notably, the reverse of polarized macrophages induced by YYFZBJS could suppress CRC cell proliferation and infiltration, as demonstrated by the decrease of some tumor proliferation-related proteins in a dose-dependent manner. Importantly, ETBF dysbiosis can contribute to colon tumor development by stimulating p-STAT3 mediated M2 macrophages polarization to promote chronic inflammation and adenoma malignant transformation, which YYFZBJS can effectively limit. Altogether, we demonstrate that ETBF dysbiosis may contribute to M2 macrophages-promoted colon carcinogenesis and progression of CRC cells, while YYFZBJS could be a promising protective agent against ETBF-mediated colorectal cancer.
