Methods Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups: control (n = 5), sham-operation (n = 4), 2-hour ischemia (n = 5), 24-hour ischemia (n = 5), and 48-hour ischemia (n = 5). The expression of VEGF and endostatin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry, respectively. In situ hybridization was used to characterize the expression of mRNA for the endostatin. Results Both the protein (at least 50%, P 〈 0.01) and mRNA (at least 70%, P 〈 0.05) of endostatin increased significantly in the ischemic brain tissues after MCAO compared with the control group. VEGF increased at least 270% in the brain after cerebral ischemia (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion Cerebral ischemia leads to an up-regulation of endostatin in the brain, which is not associated with the increase of VEGF in the brain. The increase of endostatin may serve as a deleterious mechanism for ischemic injury through blocking angiogenesis.展开更多

The expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein in ECV304 cells was detected by ELISA after the transfection of recombinant plasmid pshuttle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES and X-ray irradiation. Then MTT assay was used for determining the cellular proliferation, and flow cytometry (FCM) plus Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) double-staining or PI single-staining were employed for the detection of apoptosis and cell cycle progression. The results showed that expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein exhibited a time- and dose-dependent change in ECV304 cells after pshut-tle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES transfection in conjunction with irradiation. In the TRAIL-endostatin-based single- or double-gene-radiotherapy, the cell viability declined in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the percentage of cells at G2/M phase and apoptotic rate was increased, and the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase was lowered as compared with those receiving radiotherapy alone. Moreover, TRAIL-endostatin-based double-gene-radiotherapy demonstrated better effects on growth inhibition, promotion of apoptosis and induction of cell cycle arrest in ECV304 cells than single-gene-radiotherapy.展开更多

Methods: Transplanted Lewis lung cancer (LLC) models of C57BL/6 mice were established by subcutaneous injection of LLC cells in left extremity axillary. Tumor antigen-pulsed DC-T cells from spleen cells and bone of mice were cultured in vitro. Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into three groups, including DC- T+endostatin group, DC-T group, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control group. Microvessel density (MVD) of tumor tissue in tumor-bearing mice was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were determined by Western blotting and IHC staining. The proportions of CD8+ T cells, mature dendritic cells (mDC), tumor-associated macrophages [TAM (M1/M2)], and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in suspended cells of tumor tissue were determined by flow cytometry. The expressions of inter|eukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-17, transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in suspended cells of tumor tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Results: DC-T cells combined with endostatin remarkably suppressed tumor growth. MVD of mice in DC- T+endostatin group was significantly lower than that of the control group and DC-T monotherapy group. The expressions of VEGF, IL-6 and IL-17 in tumors were markedly decreased, but IFN-γ, and HIF-1α increased after treating with DC-T cells combined with endostatin, compared to control group and DC-T group. In the DC- T+endostatin group, the proportions of MDSC and TAM (M2 type) were significantly decreased, mDC and TAM (Nil type) were up-regulated, and CD8+ T cells were recruited to infiltrate tumors, in contrast to PBS control and DC-T monotherapy. DC-T cells combined with endostatin potently reduced the expressions of IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β and IL-17 in tumor tissue, and enhanced the expression of IFN-γ. Conclusions: The study indicated the synergic antitumor effects between endostatin and tumor antigen-pulsed DC-T cells, which may be a prospective therapy strategy to achieve potent antitumor effects on lung cancer.展开更多

METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells were cultured with a liquid overlay technique. After the formation of multicellular spheroids, morphology was analyzed by phase contrast microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Sensitivity of HepG2 cells to delisheng, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin was investigated by Ml-I- assay in multicelluar spheroids and monolayers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endostatin expression were analyzed in multicellular spheroids treated with delisheng, 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and negative control PBS, with immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Multicellular spheroids exhibited structural characteristics somewhat different to those in monolayers. The cells in three-dimensional cell culture turned out to be less sensitive to delisheng, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin than the cells cultured in monolayer. This showed that delisheng had a satisfactory cells inhibition ratio compared to 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin. Immunohistochemical staining showed that VEGF and endostatin expression was positive during growth as multicellular spheroids, and endostatin expression in spheroids with treatment of delisheng was higher than that with 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and PBS (139.35 ± 7.83, 159.23 ± 10.34, 162.83 ± 3.47 and 148.48 ± 11.06, P 〈 0.05).CONCLUSION: Chinese medicine compound delisheng has satisfactory anti-tumor activity in HepG2 cells in three-dimensional culture, and the effects are associated with up-regulation of endostatin.展开更多

The patient only received epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor antibody (Cetuximab) plus recombinant human endostatin (Endostar). Anti-tumor activity was assessed by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) at baseline and then every 4 wk. The case illustrates that 18FDG-PET/CT could make an early prediction of the response to Cetuximab plus Endostar in such clinical situations. 18FDG-PET/CT is a useful molecular imaging modality to evaluate the biological response advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis to Cetuximab plus Endostar in patients after remnant gastric cancer resection.展开更多

So far its function during the angiogenesis process of bone formation and arthropathy has not been well studied yet. The present study addresses the function of endostatin in rabbit articular chondrocytes (RAC). We found that endostatin can promote RAC adhesion and spreading as well as its proliferation. In monolayer cultured RAC, CollagenII, TIMP1 and collagenXVIII transcription were up regulated by endostatin while collagenI and MMP9 were down regulated. Moreover collagenXVIII and endostatin antigens are present at synovial fluid. These findings indicate new function of endostatin as a homeostatic factor in cartilage metabolism.展开更多

METHODS: Recombinant retroviral plasmid pLncx-Endo containing the cDNA for human endostatin gene together with rat albumin signal peptide was engineered and transferred into SMMC7721 cell by lipofectamine. After selection with G418, endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells were chosen and expanded. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were used to detect the expression of human endostatin in transfected SMMC7721 cells and its medium. The conditioned medium of endostatin-transfected and control SMMC7721 cells were collected to cultivate with human umbilical vein endothelial cells for 72 hours. The inhibitory effect of endostatin, expressed by transfected SMMC7721 cells, on endothelial proliferation in vitro was observed by using MTT assay. RESULTS: A 550 bp specific fragment of endostatin gene was detected from the PCR product of endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis confirmed the expression and secretion of foreign human endostatin protein by endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells. In vitro endothelial proliferation assay showed that 72 hours after cultivation with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, the optical density (OD) in group using the medium from endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells was 0.51 +/- 0.06, lower than that from RPMI 1640 group (0.98 +/- 0.09) or that from control plasmid pLncx-transfected SMMC7721 cells (0.88 +/- 0.11). The inhibitory rate for medium from endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells was 48%, significantly higher than that from empty plasmid pLncx-transfected SMMC7721 cells (10.2%, P【0.01). CONCLUSION: Human endostatin can be stably expressed by SMMC7721 cell transferred with human endostatin gene and its product can significantly inhibit the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell in vitro.展开更多

The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could improve the probability of distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) and overall survival(OS) in patients newly diagnosed with non-metastatic conventional osteosarcoma.Methods: This was a controlled non-randomized clinical study that included 388 patients without clinically detectable metastatic disease enrolled from January 2008 to April 2012. The control treatment group had 272 patients; 180 were male and 92, female,with a median age of 17 years. The treatment group had 58 patients; 36 were male and 22, female, with a median age of 16 years.The control group received preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. The treatment group received 4 cycles of rh-endostatin perioperatively in addition to chemotherapy as per the control group. Patients were followed up from 6-101 months with a median follow-up period of 50.2 months.Results: The 5-year DMFS of the control group(61%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin group(79%)(P = 0.013). The 5-year OS of the control group(74%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin treatment group(87%)(P = 0.029). No difference in adverse drug reactions was found between these 2 groups.Conclusions: The addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could significantly improve the DMFS and OS of patients with non-metastatic osteosarcoma.展开更多

METHODS:Nude mice underwent subcutaneous injection with LS-174t colonic carcinoma cell line to generate carcinoma and were randomly separated into two groups.Mice received injection of vehicle or endostatin every day for two weeks. After the tumor was harvested,the tumor volumes were determined,and the expressions of CD34,VEGF and FIk-1 were examined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:Tumor volume was significantly inhibited in the endostatin group(84.17%)and tumor weight was significantly inhibited in the endostatin group(0.197±0.049) compared to the control group(1.198±0.105)(F=22.56, P=0.001),microvessel density(MVD)was significantly decreased in the treated group(31.857±3.515)compared to the control group(100.143±4.290)(F=151.62,P<0.001). Furthermore,the expression of FIk-1 was significantly inhibited in the treated group(34.29%) ompared to the control group(8.57%)(X^2=13.745,P=0.001).However no significant decrease was observed in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)between these two groups(X^2=0.119,P=0.730). CONCLUSION:Endostatin can inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis by blocking Vegf/FIk-1 pathway.This experiment provides the theory basis for developing a new anti-carcinoma drug through studying the properties of anti-angiogenesis inhibitors.展开更多

文摘Objective To explore the changes of endostatin (a strong anti-angiogenesis factor) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the brain tissues of rabbits following cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups: control (n = 5), sham-operation (n = 4), 2-hour ischemia (n = 5), 24-hour ischemia (n = 5), and 48-hour ischemia (n = 5). The expression of VEGF and endostatin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunohistochemistry, respectively. In situ hybridization was used to characterize the expression of mRNA for the endostatin. Results Both the protein (at least 50%, P 〈 0.01) and mRNA (at least 70%, P 〈 0.05) of endostatin increased significantly in the ischemic brain tissues after MCAO compared with the control group. VEGF increased at least 270% in the brain after cerebral ischemia (P 〈 0.05). Conclusion Cerebral ischemia leads to an up-regulation of endostatin in the brain, which is not associated with the increase of VEGF in the brain. The increase of endostatin may serve as a deleterious mechanism for ischemic injury through blocking angiogenesis.

文摘This study examined the effects of TRAIL-endostatin-based gene-radiotherapy on cellu-lar growth, apoptosis and cell cycle progression in human vascular endothelial cells ECV304 in vitro. The expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein in ECV304 cells was detected by ELISA after the transfection of recombinant plasmid pshuttle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES and X-ray irradiation. Then MTT assay was used for determining the cellular proliferation, and flow cytometry (FCM) plus Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) double-staining or PI single-staining were employed for the detection of apoptosis and cell cycle progression. The results showed that expression of TRAIL and endostatin protein exhibited a time- and dose-dependent change in ECV304 cells after pshut-tle-Egr1-shTRAIL-shES transfection in conjunction with irradiation. In the TRAIL-endostatin-based single- or double-gene-radiotherapy, the cell viability declined in a time- and dose-dependent manner, the percentage of cells at G2/M phase and apoptotic rate was increased, and the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase was lowered as compared with those receiving radiotherapy alone. Moreover, TRAIL-endostatin-based double-gene-radiotherapy demonstrated better effects on growth inhibition, promotion of apoptosis and induction of cell cycle arrest in ECV304 cells than single-gene-radiotherapy.

文摘Objective: To investigate the antitumor effect of endostatin combined with tumor antigen-pulsed dendritic cell (DC)-T cell therapy on lung cancer. Methods: Transplanted Lewis lung cancer (LLC) models of C57BL/6 mice were established by subcutaneous injection of LLC cells in left extremity axillary. Tumor antigen-pulsed DC-T cells from spleen cells and bone of mice were cultured in vitro. Tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into three groups, including DC- T+endostatin group, DC-T group, and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control group. Microvessel density (MVD) of tumor tissue in tumor-bearing mice was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were determined by Western blotting and IHC staining. The proportions of CD8+ T cells, mature dendritic cells (mDC), tumor-associated macrophages [TAM (M1/M2)], and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in suspended cells of tumor tissue were determined by flow cytometry. The expressions of inter|eukin (IL)-6, IL-10, IL-17, transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in suspended cells of tumor tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Results: DC-T cells combined with endostatin remarkably suppressed tumor growth. MVD of mice in DC- T+endostatin group was significantly lower than that of the control group and DC-T monotherapy group. The expressions of VEGF, IL-6 and IL-17 in tumors were markedly decreased, but IFN-γ, and HIF-1α increased after treating with DC-T cells combined with endostatin, compared to control group and DC-T group. In the DC- T+endostatin group, the proportions of MDSC and TAM (M2 type) were significantly decreased, mDC and TAM (Nil type) were up-regulated, and CD8+ T cells were recruited to infiltrate tumors, in contrast to PBS control and DC-T monotherapy. DC-T cells combined with endostatin potently reduced the expressions of IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β and IL-17 in tumor tissue, and enhanced the expression of IFN-γ. Conclusions: The study indicated the synergic antitumor effects between endostatin and tumor antigen-pulsed DC-T cells, which may be a prospective therapy strategy to achieve potent antitumor effects on lung cancer.

文摘Background:Endostatin(ES) is a well-established potent endogenous antiangiogenic factor.An ES variant,called zinc-binding protein-ES(ZBP-ES),is clinically available;however,its use is limited by rapid renal clearance and short residence time.PEGylation has been exploited to overcome these shortcomings,and mono-PEGylated ES(called M_2ES) as well as mono-PEGylated ZBP-ES(MZBP-ES) are developed in our study.This study aimed to compare the biophysical properties and biological effects of M_2ES and MZBP-ES to evaluate their druggability.Methods:Circular dichroism and tryptophan emission fluorescence were used to monitor the conformational changes of M_2ES and MZBP-ES.Their resistance to trypsin digestion and guanidinium chloride(GdmCl)-induced unfolding was examined by Coomassie staining and tryptophan emission fluorescence,respectively.The biological effects of M_2ES and MZBP-ES on endothelial cell migration were evaluated using Transwell migration and wound healing assays,and the uptake of M_2ES and MZBP-ES in endothelial cells was also compared by Western blotting and immunofluorescence.Results:Structural analyses revealed that M_2ES has a more compact tertiary structure than MZBP-ES.Moreover,M_2ES was more resistant to trypsin digestion and GdmCI-induced unfolding compared with MZBP-ES.In addition,although M_2ES and MZBP-ES showed comparable levels of inhibiting transwell migration and wound healing of endothelial cells,M_2ES displayed an increased ability to enter cells compared with MZBP-ES,possibly caused by the enhanced interaction with nucleolin.Conclusions:M_2ES has a more compact tertiary structure,is more stable for trypsin digestion and GdmCI-induced unfolding,exhibits increased cellular uptake and shows equivalent inhibitory effects on cell migration relative to MZBP-ES,indicating that M_2ES is a more promising candidate for anticancer drug development compared with MZBP-ES.
文摘AIM: TO investigate the multicellular resistance of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells in three-dimensional culture to delisheng, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin, and the possible molecular mechanisms of delisheng. METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells were cultured with a liquid overlay technique. After the formation of multicellular spheroids, morphology was analyzed by phase contrast microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Sensitivity of HepG2 cells to delisheng, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin was investigated by Ml-I- assay in multicelluar spheroids and monolayers. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endostatin expression were analyzed in multicellular spheroids treated with delisheng, 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and negative control PBS, with immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: Multicellular spheroids exhibited structural characteristics somewhat different to those in monolayers. The cells in three-dimensional cell culture turned out to be less sensitive to delisheng, 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin than the cells cultured in monolayer. This showed that delisheng had a satisfactory cells inhibition ratio compared to 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin. Immunohistochemical staining showed that VEGF and endostatin expression was positive during growth as multicellular spheroids, and endostatin expression in spheroids with treatment of delisheng was higher than that with 5-fluorouracil, adriamycin and PBS (139.35 ± 7.83, 159.23 ± 10.34, 162.83 ± 3.47 and 148.48 ± 11.06, P 〈 0.05).CONCLUSION: Chinese medicine compound delisheng has satisfactory anti-tumor activity in HepG2 cells in three-dimensional culture, and the effects are associated with up-regulation of endostatin.
文摘We report a 55-year-old male who developed advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis after resection of remnant gastric cancer resection 3 mo ago. The patient only received epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor antibody (Cetuximab) plus recombinant human endostatin (Endostar). Anti-tumor activity was assessed by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) at baseline and then every 4 wk. The case illustrates that 18FDG-PET/CT could make an early prediction of the response to Cetuximab plus Endostar in such clinical situations. 18FDG-PET/CT is a useful molecular imaging modality to evaluate the biological response advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis to Cetuximab plus Endostar in patients after remnant gastric cancer resection.
文摘Endostatin is a natural occurred angiogenesis inhibitor derived from collagenXVIII. So far its function during the angiogenesis process of bone formation and arthropathy has not been well studied yet. The present study addresses the function of endostatin in rabbit articular chondrocytes (RAC). We found that endostatin can promote RAC adhesion and spreading as well as its proliferation. In monolayer cultured RAC, CollagenII, TIMP1 and collagenXVIII transcription were up regulated by endostatin while collagenI and MMP9 were down regulated. Moreover collagenXVIII and endostatin antigens are present at synovial fluid. These findings indicate new function of endostatin as a homeostatic factor in cartilage metabolism.

文摘AIM: To construct a stable transfectant of human liver carcinoma cell line SMMC7721 that could secret human endostatin and to explore the effect of human endostatin expressed by the transfectant on endothelial cell proliferation. METHODS: Recombinant retroviral plasmid pLncx-Endo containing the cDNA for human endostatin gene together with rat albumin signal peptide was engineered and transferred into SMMC7721 cell by lipofectamine. After selection with G418, endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells were chosen and expanded. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were used to detect the expression of human endostatin in transfected SMMC7721 cells and its medium. The conditioned medium of endostatin-transfected and control SMMC7721 cells were collected to cultivate with human umbilical vein endothelial cells for 72 hours. The inhibitory effect of endostatin, expressed by transfected SMMC7721 cells, on endothelial proliferation in vitro was observed by using MTT assay. RESULTS: A 550 bp specific fragment of endostatin gene was detected from the PCR product of endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis confirmed the expression and secretion of foreign human endostatin protein by endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells. In vitro endothelial proliferation assay showed that 72 hours after cultivation with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, the optical density (OD) in group using the medium from endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells was 0.51 +/- 0.06, lower than that from RPMI 1640 group (0.98 +/- 0.09) or that from control plasmid pLncx-transfected SMMC7721 cells (0.88 +/- 0.11). The inhibitory rate for medium from endostatin-transfected SMMC7721 cells was 48%, significantly higher than that from empty plasmid pLncx-transfected SMMC7721 cells (10.2%, P【0.01). CONCLUSION: Human endostatin can be stably expressed by SMMC7721 cell transferred with human endostatin gene and its product can significantly inhibit the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell in vitro.

文摘Objective: Anti-angiogenic drugs are an emerging treatment option against malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could improve the probability of distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) and overall survival(OS) in patients newly diagnosed with non-metastatic conventional osteosarcoma.Methods: This was a controlled non-randomized clinical study that included 388 patients without clinically detectable metastatic disease enrolled from January 2008 to April 2012. The control treatment group had 272 patients; 180 were male and 92, female,with a median age of 17 years. The treatment group had 58 patients; 36 were male and 22, female, with a median age of 16 years.The control group received preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. The treatment group received 4 cycles of rh-endostatin perioperatively in addition to chemotherapy as per the control group. Patients were followed up from 6-101 months with a median follow-up period of 50.2 months.Results: The 5-year DMFS of the control group(61%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin group(79%)(P = 0.013). The 5-year OS of the control group(74%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin treatment group(87%)(P = 0.029). No difference in adverse drug reactions was found between these 2 groups.Conclusions: The addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could significantly improve the DMFS and OS of patients with non-metastatic osteosarcoma.

文摘AIM:To investigate the antiangiogenic effects of endostatin on colonic carcinoma cell line implanted in nude mice and its mechanism. METHODS:Nude mice underwent subcutaneous injection with LS-174t colonic carcinoma cell line to generate carcinoma and were randomly separated into two groups.Mice received injection of vehicle or endostatin every day for two weeks. After the tumor was harvested,the tumor volumes were determined,and the expressions of CD34,VEGF and FIk-1 were examined by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:Tumor volume was significantly inhibited in the endostatin group(84.17%)and tumor weight was significantly inhibited in the endostatin group(0.197±0.049) compared to the control group(1.198±0.105)(F=22.56, P=0.001),microvessel density(MVD)was significantly decreased in the treated group(31.857±3.515)compared to the control group(100.143±4.290)(F=151.62,P<0.001). Furthermore,the expression of FIk-1 was significantly inhibited in the treated group(34.29%) ompared to the control group(8.57%)(X^2=13.745,P=0.001).However no significant decrease was observed in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)between these two groups(X^2=0.119,P=0.730). CONCLUSION:Endostatin can inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis by blocking Vegf/FIk-1 pathway.This experiment provides the theory basis for developing a new anti-carcinoma drug through studying the properties of anti-angiogenesis inhibitors.
