RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of matrine on Fas expression in C6 glima in a tumor-bearing rat model. Methods Cultured cerebral glioma C6 cells wgre injected stereotactically into the lef tcaudate nucleus of the rats.The ratswere randomized into untreated group,bomeol-treated group,low-dose matrine group,high-dose maaine group,low-dose matrine+bomeol group,and high-dose matrine+borneol group.The effect of matrine on the quality of life of the rats and the glioma volume was evaluated according to the survival state of the rats and by gross observation,magnetic resonance imaging(MRJ)and HE smining of the brain tissue.Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect Fas expression in the glioma cells. Results The survival state ofthe rats,gross observation of the brain specimen. and results of MRI and HE staining all showed that matrine significantly improved the quality oflife of the glioma-bearing rats and inhibited the glioma cell proliferation.Fas expression Was significantly higher in low-dose matrine+bomeol group(98.16±11.82) and high-dose matrine+bomeol group(112.80±12.12)than in untreated group(39.09±7.79),bomeol group(46.87±7.43),low-dose matrinc group(42.41±7.83),and high-dose matrine group(44.20±7.47)(P＜0.05).Fas expression Was obviously upregulated in the high-dose matrine+bomeol group aS compared with the low-dose matrine+bomeol group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Matrine Can significantly upregulate Fas expression in glioma and inhibit glioma cell proliferation in the glioma-bearing rat model.
