THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A RAT C6 BRAIN TUMOR MODEL / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Rat C6 glioma cells were cultured in vitro,and 10?L C6 cell suspension containing 10g/L agarose and 1?10 6 C6 cells was injected into the right caudate nucleus of rat brains to establish a rat brain tumor model by directional implantation method.General observation and MRI scan were conducted after implantation.Trans aorta paraformaldehyde perfusion for 5 group rats having received implantation was carried out at 10,15,20,25,days and before natural death.The tumor containing samples were prepared histologically by hematoxylin and eosin stains.MRI scan showed that intracerebral growth occurred in 50 implanted rats,with a distant metastasis of 4%.The results indicated that tumor globular intracerebral growth occurred and extracranial growth extension was scarce after implantation.The model was very stable and the implanted rat survival duration is easily determined. The experiment lays the foundation for chemotherapy,radiotherapy and gene therapy of the glioma.
