ChanLingGao alleviates intestinal mucosal barrier damage and suppresses the onset and progression of Colorectal cancer in AOM/DSS murine model

The occurrence of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is influenced by various factors, including host susceptibility, immune imbalance, and environmental triggers. Numerous studies have underscored the critical role of chronic intestinal inflammation and dysbiosis in the development of CRC. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) holds unique advantages in regulating the intricate process of and comprehensive treatment for systemic disease. Previous investigations by our team have confirmed the anti-cancer properties of the TCM compound ChanLingGao (CLG), including inhibiting cancer cell migration, and alleviating bone cancer pain. However, the mechanisms underlying its efficacy in alleviating chronic intestinal inflammation, modulating the gut microbiota, and protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier remain largely unknown.
