Application of aspirin in preventing or treating colon cancer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biological medicines, in particular to application of aspirin in prevention or treatment of colon cancer.
Background
Aspirin (Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid) is a derivative of salicylic acid, and is a white crystal or crystalline powder, odorless or slightly smelly with acetic acid, slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in ethanol, soluble in ether and chloroform, and acidic in aqueous solution. As early as 1853, people synthesized acetylsalicylic acid for the first time through salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Over the years, people gradually find that the acetylsalicylic acid has good effects of resisting inflammation, relieving fever and pain and the like. Until 1899, acetylsalicylic acid began to be widely used in the clinic and was more commonly known as Aspirin (Aspirin).
The clinical application of aspirin for over a hundred years has proved that the aspirin has better effect on relieving mild or moderate pain, such as toothache, headache, neuralgia, muscular soreness, arthralgia and dysmenorrheal, and is also used for defervescence of fever diseases such as cold, flu and the like. At present, aspirin derivatives are endlessly available, and are widely used in clinical treatment for relieving fever and pain. In recent years, aspirin has an inhibiting effect on platelet aggregation, can prevent the formation of thrombus, and is clinically used for preventing the formation of thrombus after transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, artificial heart valve and venous fistula or other operations.
Colon cancer is a common malignancy of the digestive tract that occurs in the colon, usually at the junction of the rectum and the sigmoid colon. The highest incidence rate of the disease in the age group of 40-50 years, the ratio of male to female is 2-3: 1. the incidence rate is 3 rd of gastrointestinal tumors. Colon cancer is mainly classified into adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, and undifferentiated carcinoma. The general morphology is polypoid, ulcer type, etc. The colon cancer can circulate along the intestinal wall, spread up and down along the longitudinal diameter of the intestinal canal or infiltrate into the deep layer of the intestinal wall, and can be planted in the abdominal cavity or spread and transferred along the suture line and the incision surface besides the lymphatic vessel, blood flow transfer and local invasion. Patients with chronic colitis, colonic polyps, male obesity, etc. are susceptible people.
In recent years, aspirin has been found to have a certain clinical effect in the prevention and treatment of a part of tumors. However, aspirin has been reported in the literature for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. The application method and the treatment effect of aspirin in the prevention or treatment of colon cancer are researched, and a new thought is provided for clinically treating colon cancer.

Example 3 evaluation of transplanted tumor microvascular morphology and function
First, preparation of experiment
Each experimental group was randomly selected from 6 nude mice. TRITC-dextran was injected into the tail vein at 100 mg/kg. FITC-lectin 10mg/kg was injected into the tail vein after 3 h.
Second, Experimental methods
10min after the injection of the drug, the mice are killed by cervical spondylolysis, tumor masses are taken out, the sections (6 mu m) are immediately frozen, the frozen sections are observed under a laser confocal microscope, 5 non-repetitive visual fields are randomly selected for each section under a high power lens (x 400) to acquire images, the blood vessel morphology is evaluated through FITC-lectin green fluorescence, and the blood vessel permeability is evaluated through the proportion of the area of TRITC-dextran leaked to the outside of the blood vessel to the total area.
Third, experimental results
Fig. 3 shows the morphology of the transplanted tumor microvasculature in each group of mice, and fig. 4 shows the number of blood vessel branches and the total length of blood vessels in each group of mice.
The results showed that compared to the model control group (TI) mice, the Aspirin whole course dosing group (TI + Aspirin) mice had an insignificant increase in the number of transplanted tumor vessel branches and total length of vessels (p >0.05), and the Ticagrelor whole course dosing group (TI + Ticagrelor) and the Aspirin and Ticagrelor combined whole course dosing group (TI + Aspirin + Ticagrelor) mice had an insignificant decrease in the number of transplanted tumor vessel branches and total length of vessels (p > 0.05).
The vascular permeability is evaluated by the proportion of the area of TRITC-dextran leaked to the outside of blood vessels to the total area, and pictures show that the vascular leakage of transplanted tumors of mice in a model control group (TI) is obvious, the vascular leakage of transplanted tumors of mice in an Aspirin whole course administration group (TI + Aspirin) and a Ticagrelor whole course administration group (TI + TiCagrel) is reduced, and the vascular leakage of transplanted tumors of mice in an Aspirin and Ticagrelor whole course administration group (TI + Aspirin + TiCagrel) is obvious.

Second, Experimental methods
2 tubes were taken and T1 tubes were charged with 10. mu.L of FITC-CD41 antibody and 10. mu.L of PE-CD62p antibody. Adding corresponding isotype control antibody in a T1 test tube into a C1 test tube, adding 0.5mL of whole blood into 2 test tubes respectively, uniformly mixing, incubating for 20min in the dark at room temperature, adding 1.5mL of PBS buffer solution, uniformly mixing, centrifuging, discarding supernatant, adding 1mL of 1% paraformaldehyde with precooling at 4 ℃ and 3 muL of Triton-100 respectively, keeping out of the light, cleaning completely before loading, and loading on a machine for detection within 24 h.

The results show that the platelet activation rates of the model control group (TI), the Aspirin whole course dosing group (TI + Aspirin) and the Ticagrelor whole course dosing group (TI + Ticagrelor) are significantly reduced (p <0.05) compared with the blank group normal mice after tumor inoculation; the platelet activation rate of the Aspirin and Ticagrelor combined whole-course administration group (TI + Aspirin + TiCagrel) has no significant difference (p > 0.05).
Compared with a model control group (TI) mouse, the platelet activation rates of an Aspirin whole course administration group (TI + Aspirin) and a Ticagrelor whole course administration group (TI + Ticagrelor) are improved, but the difference is not significant (p is more than 0.05); the platelet activation rate of the Aspirin and Ticagrelor combined whole-course administration group (TI + Aspirin + TiCagrel) is remarkably improved (p is less than 0.01).
The results show that when aspirin and ticagrelor are independently administered, the reduction of the platelet activation rate of mice caused by tumor inoculation is relieved, but is not obvious; and the aspirin and the ticagrelor can be used for remarkably relieving the reduction of the platelet activation rate of mice caused by tumor inoculation after the aspirin and the ticagrelor are jointly administered in the whole process.

2. The blocking solution was aspirated off the absorbent paper, washed away, and FITC-CD41 antibody was added to the sections, incubated overnight at 4 ℃ and washed 3 times with PBS for 5min each.
3. Non-immune serum was added dropwise and incubated at 37 ℃ for 10 minutes.
4. The PE-CD62p antibody was added dropwise and incubated overnight at 4 ℃. PBS was washed 3 times for 5min each.
5. DAPI counterstained nuclei.
6. And (5) sealing by using a water-soluble sealing agent.
Second, experimental results
FIG. 10 shows the results of immunofluorescence double-label staining of tumor-forming tissues of various groups of mice. CD62P expression was reduced in Group3-5 compared to Group2, with Group 5 expressing the lowest. Group3-5 showed increased expression of CD41 compared to Group2, with Group 5 showing the highest expression level.
CD62P is a marker for the level of platelet activation and CD41 is a marker for the overall level of platelets. As can be seen from the results of immunofluorescence staining of the groups of fig. 10, aspirin and ticagrelor inhibited platelet activation and promoted platelet aggregation at the tumor site.
