In this study, based on Walker 256 in vitro experiments, CCK-8 assay, clone formation assay, wound healing assay, and flow cytometry were used to detect cell apoptosis and cell cycle. It was found that schisandrin may have significant anti-tumor effects in vitro by inhibiting TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. In addition, in vivo experiments, immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expression of HIF-1α, VEGF and VEGFR-2 in tumor tissues. It was found that schisandrin could significantly improve the immunosuppression induced by 5-Fu and enhance the antitumor effect of 5-Fu. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Wnt-1/β-catenin signaling pathway.
