Abstract

To investigate the effect of ursolic acid on the expression of oncogenes in tumor cells of mice, sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells were implanted into the left groin of ICR mice and the tumor bearing mice were treated with ursolic acid. The expression of oncogenes were measured by in situ hybridization method. Ursolic acid significantly reduced the expression of oncogenes in the tumor cells. Therefore, it can be said that the prestated anticarcinogenic effect of ursolic acid could be partly ascribed to the mechanism included in the oncogene´s transcription level.
