Study on the mechanisms of tumor inhibitory effect of centipede extraction on heterotopic grafting hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of extraction centipede extraction (CE) on grafting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in nude mice.Methods We set up model of Bel-7404 cells heterotopic grafting HCC in nude mice,and observed the tumor growth and metastasis after intragastric administration of CE (treatment group).Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect X-chromosome linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP),bax gene,vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) in tumor tissue.Results There was distinctive inhibitive effect of CE on in Bel-7404 cells heterotopic grafting HCC in nude mice.The staining cells population,staining intensity and the optical density(OD)of XIAP,VEGF and Ang-2 in the control group were higher than those in treatment group,but those of BAX were lower than that in treatment group,and there was significant difference between the 2 groups(P
