ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of antisense VEGF165 infection on the growth of A375 cells in nude mice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A375 cells were injected s.c into the axilla of the nude mouse. After the tumor formed, we cut it into 16 pieces equally, then transplanted into another 15 nude mice. There were three groups Group PBS, Group Ad-GFP, and Group Ad-aVEGF. Four weeks after interfere, the mice were sacrificed and their tumors were excised for naked eye and histological observation. The VEGF expression was checked with ISH and immunohistochemistry staining. The micro-vessel density (MVD) in tumor mass was counted by VIII factor immunohistochemistry staining.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The visible and palpable nodules had developed at all the injected sites. Tumor growth speed was more slowly in Group Ad-aVEGF than that in other groups. GFP gene could express effectively in tumor mass. Ad-aVEGF infection could suppress the growth of tumors, and there were no obvious side effects. Ad-aVEGF resulted more tissue necrosis, but it had no obvious effect on cell apoptosis. VEGF expression was inhibited significantly in Group Ad-aVEGF, and MVD was decreased accordingly.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ad-aVEGF interfere may be a new method against human malignant melanoma, whose main mechanism is to induce ischemia, but not apoptosis.</p>
