Abstract: OBJECTIVE: on the neovascularization of colorectal cancer and explore its possible mechanisms. METHOD: , and its effects on neovascularization and tumor growth were evaluated by tumor growth curve tracking, immunohistochemical analysis, vessel density assessment, RT-qPCR, and protein immunoblotting to explore the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS: treatment group. Moreover, the protein expression levels of vascular markers in tumor tissues showed a slight decrease in the low-concentration group and a marked reduction in the high-concentration group. These findings suggest that angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner, with protein expression levels closely mirroring gene expression patterns. CONCLUSION: inhibits neovascularization in a dose-dependent manner in a mouse model of colorectal cancer. These results provide experimental support for its potential use as a therapeutic agent against colorectal cancer, suggesting that it may suppress tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting angiogenesis.
