This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201710799373.3, filed on Sep. 7, 2017, and the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of drugs and health foods, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine composition and use thereof, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine composition that contains various vegetable polysaccharides and vegetable oils, and use thereof.
Tumor is a new organism formed by the proliferation of local tissue cells under the action of various tumorigenic factors. According to the hazard of the tumors to the human body and their growth characteristics, tumors are divided into two types: benign tumors and malignant tumors. Benign tumors, for example lipoma, hemangioma, adenoma, cysts and so on, grow slowly, showing an expansive growth, which have intact pseudocapsule over their surface. There is seldom systemic symptom except for local symptoms. Benign tumors do not infiltrate into surrounding tissues or metastasize to the whole body, and are not easy to relapse after surgical resection, and are less harmful to the body. Malignant tumors, for example bone cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, leukemia, osteosarcoma and so on, grow rapidly, often infiltrate into the surrounding tissues and metastasize to the whole body. There is almost no pseudocapsule over the surface of malignant tumors. Pathological examination shows atypical karyokinesis mitoses. Except for local symptoms, systemic symptoms are obvious. Patients in the late stage often have cachexia, and have a high relapse rate after surgical resection, which are greatly harmful to the body. Tumor is currently at the top of the cause of death spectrum and it is a major health threat.
The main traditional methods for treating malignant tumors include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Surgical treatment is the most important way to treat malignant tumors, especially for early- and mid-stage malignant tumors, which is listed as the preferred method. After surgical resection, some early-stage tumors can be completely cured, and the patients can survive for a long time. Radiation therapy (radiotherapy) uses radiation to induce changes of DNA, chromosomal aberration or break in tissue cells, and ionization of cellular fluid to generate chemical free radicals, finally leading to deactivation of cells or their filial generation, so as to break the cells or inhibit the growth of tumor. Radiation has adverse effects on normal tissue cells, especially with the increasing amount of light radiation, it easily damages hematopoietic organs and vascular tissues, and causes leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, changes in skin and mucous membranes, gastrointestinal reactions and so on. Chemical drug therapy (chemotherapy) is also known as anticancer drug treatment. It is mainly applicable to the comprehensive therapy of mid- and late-stage cancer. Clinically, chemotherapy has a good effect on chorionic epithelioma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, malignant lymphoma and so on. For other malignant tumors, chemotherapy can assist surgery or radiotherapy. However, all of the above three conventional treatment methods have certain limitations and cause certain painful feelings to the patients, especially radiotherapy and chemotherapy have inhibition effects on the normal immune system in some degree.
With the development of tumor immunology, people are increasingly aware that the immune system is critical for the surveillance and clearance of tumors. Immunotherapy is regarded as the fourth type of therapy that is expected to overcome cancer. In the past, people concerned about positive immunity, that is, the direct killing of tumor cells by immune cells. However, at present, the academic community believes that the immune negative regulation cells have become new targets for treating cancer. Immune escape of tumor cells is an important prerequisite for the development of tumors. The reason why this important biological event occurs is that there is an immune negative regulation network in the tumor microenvironment, and the immune negative regulatory cells and factors in this network inhibit the surveillance and clearance of tumor cells by immune effector cells.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition having the function of improving tumor microenvironment, a method for preparing the same, and use thereof.

The entire tumors were peeled off and weighed, and the inhibition rate of tumor was calculated.
The inhibition rate=(mean tumor weight of the model group−mean tumor weight of the administration group)/mean tumor weight of the model group×100%.
2.2 Test of CD4+ and CD8+ in Lymphocytes of Tumor Stroma and Intervention of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Composition
Tumors were taken from the mice by surgery under asepsis condition. The tumors were weighted by an analytical balance and the tumors with a weight over 2 g were selected. A 1 mm3 block was constructed from the selected tumor tissues, disposed in a RPMI-1640 culture medium containing 0.05% of collagenase, 0.02% of DNase, 0.01% of hyaluronidase and 10% of calf serum, and subjected to digestion under magnetic stirring at 4° C. overnight. The tissues were screened with a 200 meshes steel sieve. All the single cells were collected, subjected to low speed centrifugation (1500 r/min) for 15 minutes, and washed with Hanks solution for twice. The cell concentration was adjusted to about 1×106 cells/mL, i.e., tumor infiltrating lymphocyte.
2 EP tubes were prepared for each test sample. 50 μL cell suspension was added to each tube and the total volume was adjusted to 100 μL with a PBS buffer to reach a final concentration of 5×105 cells/mL. In one tube, 0.25 μg of anti-mouse CD4 monoclonal antibody and 0.2 μg of anti-mouse CD8a monoclonal antibody labeled with different fluorescein were added, and the other tube was set as the blank control tube. The tubes were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes by avoiding light. The cells were washed with PBS and tested by a flow cytometer.
2.3 Test of expression rate of VEGF and TGF-β1 positive cells in tumor tissue Immunohistochemistry methods were used according to the protocols. The results were determined by the appearance of brown color in cytoplasm of the VEGF and TGF-β1 staining positive cells.
All the experimental data in the experiments was statistically analyzed with software SPSS19.0. All the measurement data was expressed in the form of mean±standard deviation (−x±s), and t Test was performed. And the enumeration data was tested with χ2 Test. When P<0.05, the difference is statistically significant.

The results showed that comparing with the compositions that lacked one or two components, the compositions comprising GANODERMA polysaccharide, MORINDAE OFFICINALIS RADIX polysaccharide, POLYGONATI RHIZOMA polysaccharide, ANGELICAE SINENSIS RADIX oil and MYRISTICAE SEMEN oil with a mixing ratio of (1˜5):(1˜5):(1˜5):(1˜5):(1˜5) showed more significant effects on restoring normal immune surveillance of body. When the mixing ratio was (1˜2):(1˜2):(1˜2):(1˜2):(1˜2), the effects were more significant.
