Objective To investigate the effect of Yi-Yi-Fu-Zi-Bai-Jiang-San (YYFZBJS) on genetically engineered mice with spontaneous colorectal cancer (Villin-CreER^T2Kras^G12D/＋Apc^flox/＋). Methods Villin-CreER^T2Kras^G12D/＋Apc^flox/＋ colorectal cancer mice were randomly assigned to the model group, YYFZBJS (3.825, 7.650, 15.300 g·kg^-1) dose groups and the wild-type C57BL/6J mice served as the blank control group. The traditional Chinese medicine group was administered YYFZBJS via gavage, while the control and model groups received normal saline gavage for a duration of 12 weeks. Tumor formation, tumor size, and tumor load were subsequently assessed. HE staining was used to observe the tumor grade, and immunohistochemical analysis was performed to characterize the expression of the protein 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), which characterizes the proliferation of tumor cells. The principal bioactive constituents of YYFZBJS were identified utilizing the TCMSP analysis platform and subsequently cross-referenced with colorectal cancer-associated targets. Core targets were elucidated through the construction of a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, employing the STRING database in conjunction with Cytoscape software. Further, gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses for the intersection targets were performed using the Metascape database. Cytoscape was utilized to construct the "drug-compound-target" network diagram, while AutoDock Tools facilitated the molecular docking analysis between key active ingredients and core targets. The expression levels of proteins involved in the IDO1/AhR/β-catenin pathway in intestinal tumor tissues were subsequently assessed using Western blotting. Results In comparison to the normal control group, 100% of the mice in the model group developed colon tumors, predominantly high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Relative to the model group, the YYFZBJS intervention group exhibited improvements in hair color and survival status. The tumor counts in the intervention groups were 7.88±2.00 (low dose), 6.13±2.17 (medium dose), and 3.13±1.55 (high dose), respectively, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.01). Additionally, the expression of BrdU in tumor tissues was significantly reduced in the Chinese medicine intervention group compared to the model group (P < 0.05). The network pharmacological analysis revealed that YYFZBJS shares 183 common targets with colorectal cancer, including IDO1, AhR, and β- catenin, which are implicated in both cancer pathways and the tryptophan metabolic pathway. In comparison to the model group, the expression levels of IDO1, AhR, and β-catenin proteins in the intestinal tumor tissues of the YYFZBJS high-dose group were significantly down-regulated (P < 0.01). Conclusion YYFZBJS has been demonstrated to decelerate the progression of colorectal tumors and reduce the degree of malignant differentiation of tumors. The underlying mechanism of action is posited to involve the regulation of the IDO1/AhR/β-catenin pathway, mediated by tryptophan, thereby effectively inhibiting the occurrence of spontaneous colorectal cancer.
