Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Immmunosuppression and infectious disease in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy is a serious problem. Immunopotentiating drugs may show a therapeutic efficacy. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The protective effect of Hochu-ekki-to (TJ-41), a Japanese traditional herbal medicine, on mitomycin C (MMC)-induced immunosuppression has been investigated. Spleen weight, the number of forming colonies of granulocytes and macrophages (CFU-GM) in the bone-marrow cells, natural killer (NK) activity in splenocytes and susceptibility to lethal herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection were evaluated. RESULTS:Oral administration of TJ-41 (2000 mg/kg/day) restored MMC-induced decline of spleen weight. CFU-GM and NK activity (20.6% to 68.4%, 48.8% to 77.7%, 21.1% to 95.1%, respectively). Moreover, MMC treatment resulted in a lethal HSV-1 infection and TJ-41 showed a preventive effect. CONCLUSION:TJ-41 may be beneficial for the treatment of infectious diseases in immunocompromised patients receiving chemotherapeutic drugs.
