The effect of recombinant human endostatin combined with 5-Fluorouracil on the growth of xenografted gastric cancer in nude mouse / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective This experiment was to identify the influence of recombinant human endostatin (rhES) combined with 5-FU on the growth of a xenografted gastric cancer in nude mouse. Methods After the establishment of the model, mice were divided into 4 groups (six in each) receiving respectively, for consecutive 10 days NS, 5-FU (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally; rhES (2 mg/kg); and 5-FU + rhES. On 15th day tumor volume was measured. The expression of VEGF, bFGF, VEGF-C, PCNA, bcl-2 and apoptosis index (AI) were examined. The tumor inhibition rate(TIR) and tumor shrinking rate(TSR) were calculated. Results Tumor volume was (43?2) mm 3 in 5 FU+rhES group,(169?45) mm 3 in 5 FU group, (95?28) mm 3 in rhES group, (1057?114) mm 3 in control group ( P
