Research Overview on Tian Xian’s Anticancer Properties
Research on Tian Xian Liquid has explored its potential in cancer treatment across various studies. Findings include Tian Xian’s ability to affect cell cycle arrest and radiosensitivity in breast cancer cells, enhance immune responses in vaccinated mice, and target cancer stem-like cells in hepatoma. Clinical trials have examined its safety and efficacy for metastatic breast cancer, while other studies have investigated its effects on colorectal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and overall anticancer properties.
Research: Tien Hsien Liquid and Breast Cancer Cells (USA)
Chinese Herbal Mixture, Tien-Hsien Liquid, Induces G2/M Cycle Arrest and Radiosensitivity in MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Cells through Mechanisms Involving DNMT1 and Rad51 Downregulation

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tien-Hsien Liquid Practical (THL-P), a Chinese herbal mixture, in patients with refractory metastatic breast cancer, we performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase IIa pilot trial. Patients were randomly assigned to either receive THL-P or matching placebo and followed up every 4 weeks for 24 weeks.
Differential Effects of Anti-Metastatic Mechanism of Tian-Xian Liquid and It’s Bioactive Fractions on Human Colorectal Cancer Models (Netherlands)

Effect of Herbal Therapy on Intracellular Cytokine Expression of CD8 Cell in Nasopharingeal Cancer Patients (Indonesia)
Aims: to know the effect of THL medicinal herb on the immune response of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients by measuring the intracellular cytokine level (IFN-γ and TNF-α) before and after THL administration. To introduce the intercellular cytokine evaluation method for evaluating immune response.
Regulation of p21, MMP-1, and MDR-1 Expression in Human Colon Carcinoma HT29 Cells by Tian Xian Liquid, a Chinese Medicinal Formula, In Vitro and In Vivo (USA)
Tian-Xian liquid (TXL), a commercially available Chinese medicine decoction, has been used as an anticancer dietary agent for more than 10 years without reported side effects. Aim of the study. The safety and quality consistency of TXL and its mechanisms of action on antiproliferation, antimetastasis, and reversion of multidrug resistance (MDR) regimens were explored.
Targeting PML-RARa and Oncogenic Signaling Pathways by Chinese Herbal Mixture Tien-Hsien Liquid in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia NB4 Cells (USA)
Tien-Hsien Liquid (THL) is a Chinese herbal mixture that has been used worldwide as complementary treatment for cancer patients in the past decade. Recently, THL has been shown to induce apoptosis in various types of solid tumor cells in vitro. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms have not yet been well elucidated.
Tian Xian Liquid induces apoptosis in HT-29 colon cancer cell in vitro and inhibits tumor growth in vivo (Macau, China)
Tian Xian Liquid (TXL) is a Chinese medicine decoction and has been used as an anticancer dietary supplement. The present study aims to investigate the effects of TXL on the apoptosis of HT-29 cells and tumor growth in vivo.
Inhibition of Metastasis, Angiogenesis, and Tumor Growth by Chinese herbal cocktail Tien Hsien Liquid (UK)
Advanced cancer is a multifactorial disease that demands treatments targeting multiple cellular pathways. Chinese herbal cocktail which contains various phytochemicals may target multiple dys-regulated pathways in cancer cells and thus may provide an alternative/complementary way to treat cancers. Previously we reported that the Chinese herbal cocktail Tien-Hsien Liguid (THL) can specifically induce apoptosis in various cancer cells and have immuno-modulating activity. In this study, we further evaluated the anti-metastatic, anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activities of THL with a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments.
