RESUMEN
Objective To establish an orthotopic transplantation tumor model of pancreatic cancer derived from transgenic LSL-KrasG12D/+ LSL-Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1-Cre(KPC)mice.To provide a stable and reliable drug preclinical research animal model to study the developmental mechanism and treatment strategies of pancreatic cancer.Methods Tumor tissue derived from KPC transgenic mice with spontaneous pancreatic cancer was transplanted into the C57BL/6J mouse pancreas.Ultrasound was used to monitor tumor growth.HE and immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate the pathological characteristics of this model.Results The tumor derived from KPC mice grew steadily on the pancreas of C57BL/6J mice.Tumor cell proliferation index Ki67,matrix fibrosis marker αSMA,and immune cell markers CD45 and CD206 were all stably expressed in the tumor.The model stably retained the pathological features of primary pancreatic cancer.Widespread tumor metastases,which were similar to those observed in patients with pancreatic cancer,developed in this model.Conclusions An orthotopic transplantation model derived from a transgenic mouse with spontaneous pancreatic cancer was established successfully.The model simulates the stromal environment and immune cell infiltration of pancreatic cancer and retains strong stability and uniformity with the original tumor.It can be used as an effective drug preclinical research model to study pancreatic cancer progression and treatment strategies.

Objective:To investigate the effects of compound matrine injection on the proliferation of bladder cancer cell line BIU-87 and bladder orthotopic transplantated tumor in nude mice.Methods:BIU-87 cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into experimental group (adding 300.00, 150.00, 75.00, 37.50, 18.75 μl/ml compound matrine injection 200μl) and negative control group (adding equal volume of culturing medium). The proliferation inhibition rate and the half inhibitory concentration ( IC50) of BIU-87 cells were detected and calculated by methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) method. Twenty BALB/c-nu female nude mice were injected with 100 μl of BIU-87 cell suspension with a cell density of 2×10 7/ml in the bladder to establish an animal model of bladder orthotopic transplanted tumor. After 24 hours of perfusion of BIU-87 cell suspension, intravesical perfusion administration (100 μl per nude mouse) was started, and the mice were divided into compound matrine injection group (intravesical perfusion of matrine solution) and pirarubicin group (intravesical perfusion of 1 mg/ml pirarubicin), model control group (intravesical perfusion of the same volume of sterile water), blank control group (without intravesical perfusion of BIU-87 cell suspension or administration). The observation time was 90 d. The survival status and bladder wet weight of the animals were observed and recorded, and the tumor formation rate, tumor inhibition rate and life prolongation rate were calculated. Results:Different concentrations of compound matrine injection acted on BIU-87 cells for 48 hours, and the absorbance ( A) values ??of 300.00, 150.00, 75.00, 37.50, 18.75 μl/ml compound matrine injection group and negative control group were 0.027±0.006, 0.065±0.010, 1.695±0.105, 2.387±0.017, 2.427±0.134 and 2.721±0.080 ( F = 742.67, P < 0.05), the A values ??of each concentration of compound matrine injection group were compared with the negative control group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The IC50 of compound matrine injection on BIU-87 cells was 70.05 μl/ml. On the 90th day of observation, the bladder wet weights of nude mice in blank control group, model control group, pirarubicin group and compound matrine injection group were (0.018±0.004) mg, (0.422±0.130) mg, (0.219±0.136) mg and (0.237±0.113) mg ( F = 14.01, P < 0.001), and the survival time of nude mice was (90±0) d, (54±12) d, (72±4) d and (69±8) d ( F = 18.53, P < 0.001). The inhibition rates of bladder cancer in the pirarubicin group and compound matrine injection group were 48.10% and 43.84%, and the life prolongation rates of the nude mice were 34.95% and 29.53%. Conclusions:Compound matrine injection can inhibit the proliferation of BIU-87 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Compound matrine injection can increase the tumor inhibition rate and prolong the survival time of nude mice models of bladder orthotopic transplanted tumor.
RESUMEN
Objective: To explore the effect of Actinidia chinensis polysaccharide (ACP) on apoptosis of MFC cells and their orthotopic transplanted tumor of gastric cancer and the molecular mechanism. Methods: MTT method was used to detect the inhibitory rate of ACP on MFC cell proliferation and the expression of Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bak, and Bcl-xl protein was detected by Western blotting; The model of orthotopic transplanted tumor of gastric cancer was established with OB anastomosis adhesive stick method; Cell apoptosis in tumor tissue was detected by TUNEL method; The expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results: MTT results showed that with the increasing of ACP concentration, the inhibition of ACP on MFC cell proliferation became stronger and with the prolongation of time, the inhibition was increasing. Western blotting showed that ACP would downregulate the expression of Mcl-1, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xl protein and upregulate the expression of Bak protein when the MFC cells were treated for 24 h by ACP. The animal experiment showed that compared with the model group, the average positive indexes of ACP in mid- and high-dose ACP and 5-FU positive control groups in the detection of apoptosis by TUNEL were significantly increased (P < 0.01); Meanwhile, in all ACP groups the expression of Bcl-2 could be reduced and the expression of Bax was upregulated significantly (P < 0.01). Conclusion: ACP could induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells, downregulate the expression of Mcl-1, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xl protein, and upregulate the expression of Bak and Bax protein, prompting that the antitumor mechanism of ACP is related with the apoptosis pathway in which the Bcl-2 family proteins are involved.
