RESUMO
In vivo tumor imaging technique method based on bioluminescence principle was established to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of paclitaxel mixed micelle (PMM). MDA-MB-231 tumor cells with luciferase reporter vectors were firstly implanted into nude mice, and subsequently the luciferase substrate was regularly injected during intraperitoneal administration of PMM. Then the tumor size, growth and the intensity of light signals were monitored with in vivo imaging technique. The method of luciferase tumor in vivo imaging could be real-time, reliable and exact in labeling and reflecting the growth of tumors, and the observed results were consistent with that by conventional method, so it would be a feasible approach to study anti-tumor effect of drugs. The anti-tumor effect of paclitaxel mixed micelle was observed by this method, and the results showed that this formulation could inhibit growth of tumor, and the anti-tumor rate of it was about 85%.
RESUMO
Objective:To obtain highly purified recombinant human IGF-Ⅰ(rhIGF-Ⅰ) and identify it.Methods:rhIGF-Ⅰ Was purified through ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography after the inclusion bodies of rhIGF-Ⅰ were extracted from Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was characterized through molecular weight assay, Western-blot, and fluorescent chromatography. The renaturation and biological assay of rhIGF-Ⅰ were investigated. Results and Conclusions: The purity of rhIGF-Ⅰ was higher than 99%. The analysis of molecular weight, Western-blot, fluorescent chromatography and sequences of NH2-terminal 15 amino acids were same as those anticipated. 3-10 mg/ml was the concentration of renatured rhIGF-Ⅰ to support half-maximal stimulation of cell proliferation with BALB/c 3T3 cells.
