ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of SABP, a water-soluble component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on the growth of orthotopic transplantation of H22 liver cancer and the immune microenvironment of liver cancer. Methods We established a mouse model of orthotopic transplantation of H22 cell liver cancer in BALB/c mice. ELISA was used to detect the expression of PD-L1, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-18, IL-7, IL-2, CCL-2 and CCL-21 in the liver. We counted the organ indexes of liver, spleen and kidney. Results SABP inhibited the growth of orthotopic transplantation tumors of H22 cell liver cancer, and increased the expression levels of PD-L1, TGF-β, IL-1β and IL-10 in the microenvironment of liver cancer, as well as the liver, spleen and kidney coefficients. Conclusion SABP could inhibit the growth of orthotopic transplantation tumors of H22 cell liver cancer and promote the expression of PD-L1, TGF-β, IL-1β and IL-10 in the microenvironment of liver cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of medical sodium hyaluronate gel (HA) on the growth and metastasis of abdominal and pelvic tumor cells in vitro and in nude mice. Methods Three tumor cells, Hela, CT26 and HCT116, were used to investigate the effects of different HA concentrations on the growth and migration of tumor cells in vitro by MTT assay and Transwell assay. An orthotopic transplantation model of colonic tumor in nude mice was established to investigate the effect on the proliferation of cell HCT116 by comparing the tumor volume and tumor mass 4 weeks after inoculation. The effects on the metastasis of cell CT26 were investigated by comparing the tumor metastasis rate and the number of metastatic lesions of lung and liver in nude mice among the different experimental groups 3 weeks after inoculation. Results HA did not promote the growth and metastasis of Hela, CT26 and HCT116 cells in vitro at different concentrations. Actually, HA exhibited a certain inhibitory activity at the concentration of 5 mg/ml. In the orthotopic transplantation model of colonic tumor-HCT116, HA did not promote the growth of cell HCT116. In the orthotopic transplantation model of colonic tumor-CT26, HA inhibited CT26 tumor metastasis. Conclusion Under the experimental conditions, HA did not promote the growth, migration or metastasis of abdominal and pelvic related tumor cells including Hela, CT26 and HCT116 in vitro and in vivo.
ABSTRACT
@#The study aims to establish a human gastric cancer orthotopic transplantation model in nude mice and to use 7T MRI for detection. After poorly differentiated human gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cells were injected subcutaneosly into the right flanks of nude mice, the model of in nude mice was established with orthotopic transplanted cancer of gastric tumor by the Compont® gel pasted method. 7T MRI scan was conducted on the mice after operating model about 20 days later. Histopathological examinations were carried out on the stomach. Two of three mice on which 7T MRI scan were performed showed visible suspected stomach tumor and their presence was verified again by histopathological examinations; tumor formation rate in the nude mice gastric orthotopic transplantation model was 66. 7%. This study suggested that 7T MRI could be used in the live detection of in situ tumor and that MRI could be used for pre-clinical gastric cancer drug development and clinical gastric carcinoma diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the characters and targeted ability of FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe in labeling orthotopic transplantation tumor of bladder cancer in vivo.Methods From July 2013 to June 2014,the stability and characters of FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe were detected by spectrophotometer and molecular imaging and the optimum concentration and imaging time window were determined.30 BALB-C nude mice were randomly divided into experimental group (n =20) and control group(n =10).In control group,5 of them (group A) were ligated bilateral ureter,others(group B) were not.We established orthotropic transplanted bladder tumor (BIU-87) model by operation.And 0.2 ml probes (220 μmol/L) was then injected intravenously in all mice after 2 weeks.We obtained images and analyzed average gray value of the heart,lung,liver,spleen,bilateral kidney and orthotropic transplantation bladder tumor by using optical probe molecule fluorescence imaging system after 30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h and 12 h,respectively.Results After injected the FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probes intravenously at 220 μmol/L,the fluorescence signal of tumor tissue strengthened gradually.The optimal imaging time window was 4 hours after injection.The illumination and temperature had little effect on the fluorescence signal.With the time passing after injection,the intensity of florescence signal progressively increasing,which reached the peak at4 h.The average gray value of tumor tissue at 1 h,2 h,3 h,4 h,5 h,6 h,8 h,12 h were 74.22,76.2,80.11,89.38,83.29,85.1,81.22,83.01,respectively.The fluorescence signal of normal tissue weakened gradually with the passage of time.Only liver and gall bladder could notice the fluorescence signal 4 hours after injection in group A.However,the relatively strong fluorescence signal could be found in liver and gall bladder in group B.Conclusions The characters of fluorescence probe are affected by its concentration.Its optimal concentration of labeling tumor is 220 μmol/L.The optical imaging time window was about 4 h after intravenous injection.The FITC-CSNRDARRC molecular probe can specifically bound to orthotopic transplanted tumor of bladder cancer in vivo.
