Effect of hydroxycamptothecin with thermotherapy on angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro / 中国癌症杂志

ABSTRACT

Purpose:To study the effects of hydroxycamptothecin with thermotherapy on anti-angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Methods:We chose human microvascular endothelial cell (HMVEC) culture and chick embryo choriallantoic membrane (CAM) model and used MTT and number-calculating methods to observe hydroxycamptothecine on HMVEC’s proliferation , sprouts and CAM blood vessels’ formation.Results:The survival rate of endothelial cells was in the range of (68.2%)-44.7% within the dose of 20-40 ng/ml and 5-80 ng/ml and was negatively correlated with the concentration (correlation coefficient was -0.906,-0.469,P=0.00003,0.0051). Hydroxycamptothecine could significantly suppress the endothelial cells’ proliferation and the sprouts. Hydroxycamptothecine could significantly suppress CAM vessels. The survival rate of HepG II cells is in the range 100%-90% within the dose of 5-80 ng/ml. There was no cytotoxicity.There was a synergestic anti-angiogenetic effect when hydroxycamptothecin (20 ng/ml) was combined with thermotherapy in vitro while there was additive effect when hydroxycamptothecin (40 ng/ml) was combined with thermotherapy in vitro.Conclusions:This experiment shows that small doses of hydroxycamptothecine (20-40 ng/ml) with thermotherapy has anti-angiogenetic synergestic or additive effect on proliferation and migration both in vivo and in vitro.
