ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of bifidobacterium-mediated CTP-NPRL2 on the growth and apoptosis of nude mouse renal carcinoma.Methods Recombinant plasmid pET15b-CTP-NPRL2 was constructed and transfected into bifidobacterium by electroporation,and then the expression of fusion protein CTP-NPRL2 was verified by Western blot.The nude mouse renal carcinoma model was constructed by subcutaneous injection of renal carcinoma cells suspension.The nude mice with renal carcinoma were equally and randomly divided into the observation group and control group(8 mice in each group).The mice in the observation group were treated with bifidobacterium containing recombinant plasmid pET15b-CTP-NPRL2 through tail vein injection,and the mice in the control group were treated with normal saline.All mice were treated once a week for four weeks,and then executed for evaluating the weight of mice and bearing tumors.Finally,the apoptosis of renal carcinoma was detected by TUNEL staining.Results The mass of nude mice was(26.24±1.98) g in the observation group and(23.28±2.17) g in the control group.The mass of bearing tumors was(1.37±0.12) g in the observation group and(1.68±0.18) g in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The TUNEL detection results showed that the apoptosis index of renal carcinoma cell in the observation group(23.27±5.14)％ was significantly higher than that in the control group(10.37±2.58)％,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Bifidobacterium-mediated CTP-NPRL2 has an inhibitory effect on the renal carcinoma growth of nude mouse,and significantly increases the apoptosis of renal carcinoma cells.
