Effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on lung metastasis of mouse Lewis lung cancer cells / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on lung metastasis of mouse Lewis lung cancer (LLC)cells.Methods Mouse LLC cells were inoculated in culture plate. After being cultured for 24 h the cells were randomly divided into four groupsgroup control (CC), group 1% sevoflurane (SC1),group 2% sevoflurane (SC2),and group 3% sevoflurane (SC3).Cells of group SC1-3 were exposed to 1%,2%,3% sevoflurane for 4 h respectively,cells of group CC were exposed to 95%O 2-5%CO 2 mixture air,and were then cultured for another 24 h.The invasive activity of cells was determined by Transwell assay.The migration of cells was evaluated by wound scratch assay.The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in cells were detected by ELISA.Thirty-two C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups (n = 8)group control (CM),group 1% sevoflurane (SM1),group 2% sevoflurane (SM2),and group 3% sevoflurane (SM3).LLC cells of group SC1-3 were injected into caudal vein of mouse in group SM1-3 respectively.Cells of group CC were injected into mouse of group CM.Lung metastasis inhibitory rates were evaluated after 3 weeks. Results Compared with group CC,the invasive activity and migration of cells in group SC1-3 were decreased significantly,group SC1 >group SC2 >group SC3 (P group SC2>group SC3 (P <0.05).Compared with group CM,lung metastasis inhibitory rates of group SM1-3 were increased significantly,group SM1 < group SM2 < group SM3 (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Sevoflurane can inhibit the lung metastasis of mouse LLC cells,which maybe through down-regulating the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in mouse LLC cells.
