Purpose
Natural triterpenoid saponins isolated from Anemone flaccida Fr. Schmidt have exhibited anti-cancer properties and exerted remarkable inhibitory effects on tumor growth. Herein, we investigated the potential mechanism involved in the suppression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development by triterpenoid saponins in a mouse model.Results
Triterpenoid saponins induced anti-tumor immune response by decreasing the number of Treg cells, increasing that of B cells, natural killer cells, and CD3+/CD28+ T cells, and reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors including nuclear factor-κB, cyclooxygenase-2, and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1. In addition, triterpenoid saponins inhibited tumor growth and induced the apoptosis of HCC cells by blocking the activation of PD1/PD-L1, ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, JNK, and STAT3 signaling pathways. Furthermore, triterpenoid saponins regulated tumor immune response by upregulating a number of metabolites (including 1,3-diaminopropane, lauric acid, 2,4-diaminobutyric acid 2, and ribitol) and modulating the metabolism of histidine, arginine, proline, beta-alanine, glycine, serine, and threonine.
