ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the influence of resveratrol (Res) on the growth of Lewis lung carcinomas in mice and the corresponding mechanism.Methods:
The Lewis lung carcinoma model was established in C57BL mice. Forty C57BL mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 10) control group, low-dose Res group (2.5 mg · kg-1 · d-1), middle-dose Res group (5 mg · kg-1 · d-1) and high-dose Res group (10 mg · kg-1 · d-1). Mice were given intragastrically with Res for 20 d. All mice were sacrificed on d 22 after inoculation. The volume and weight of tumors were recorded. Microvessel density (MVD) in tumor tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry. The expression level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was examined by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The apoptotic index (AI) was determined by TUNEL assay.Results:
The tumor growth was suppressed significantly in Res 5 mg and 10 mg · kg-1 · d-1 groups. The weights and volumes of Lewis lung carcinoma in both groups above were markedly decreased compared with control group (P 0.05).Conclusion:
Res remarkably inhibites the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma in mice by inhibiting expression of VEGF, reducing MVD, and promoting apoptosis.
