title: [Effect of Patrinia scabra extracts on the level of serum cytokine in sarcoma 180 ascitic tumor burdened mice].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the effect of Potrinia scabro extracts (PSE) on the level of serum cytokine in Sarcoma 180 ascitic tumor burdened mice and its mechanism of anti-tumor.
  
  
  METHODS
  The mice model of Sarcoma 180 ascitic tumor were established and divided into five groups randomly, including the model group with normal saline solution, the positive group with 10 mg/kg cytoxan and PSE treated groups at doses of 2.0 g/kg, 1.0 g/kg, 0.5 g/kg intraperitoneally for 10 days. The level of serum cytokine Th1 (IL-2, IL-12, IFN-gamma, IFN-alpha) and Th2 (IL-6, IL-10) were measured by double antibody sandwich ELISA assay.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with model group of Sarcoma 180 ascitic tumor burdened mice,the level of IL-2 and IFN-gamma increased in PSE 2.0 g/kg group, but the IL-6 and IL-10 decreased in PSE 2.0 g/kg and 1.0 mg/kg groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PSE has anti-tumor effect in vivo that could be related to the level variation of IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-6 and IL-10 in tumor burdened mice.
