The VEGF expression of group D was obviously lower than the other group 3,but the Sema3A expressed of group D was significantly strengthener than the other group 3.The VEGF expression of group B and group D were obviously low especially in the 4th-8th days.Pearson correlated analysis showed that the expression VEGF and Sema3A were negatively correlated(r=-0.72, P【0.05).Conclusions:ED combined with DDP could control the tumor growth effectively,and avoid weight loss.ED could reduce VEGF expression,and enhance Sema3A expression.Tumor vessel presents transient normalization.It is easy for DDP perfusion,and to kill tumor cells.展开更多

Methods: A total of 30 C57 rats were selected, and the monoplast suspension of Lewis lung cancer was injected into the left axilla to prepare the subcutaneous transplanted tumor models in the axilla of right upper limb. The models were randomly divided into Groups A, B, and C. Medication was conducted when the tumor grew to 400 mm3. Group A was the control group without any interventional treatment. Group B was injected with Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. Group C was given the injection of Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. All the rats in three groups were executed the day after the 10-d medication and the tumor was taken off for measurement of volume and mass changes and calculation of antitumor rate, after which the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) concentration in rats' plasma was determined by ELISA. The tumor tissues were cut for the preparation of conventional biopsies. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the pathologic histology was examined to observe the structures of tumor tissues, VEGF score and microvessel density(MVD) in each group. Results: The volume and mass of tumor in Groups B and C were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05) while the tumor volume and mass in Group C were significantly lower than Group B(P < 0.05). The antitumor rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B(P < 0.05), but the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level in Group C were significantly lower than Groups A and B(P < 0.05). In Group B, the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05). The microscopic image of Group C showed that its number of active tumor cells and the blood capillary around tumor was significantly smaller than that of Groups A and B, and meanwhile atrophy and liquefactive necrosis were seen in local tumor. Conclusions: Endostar injection combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin is effective in reducing tumor VEGF score and MVD of transplanted tumor tissues in rats with Lewis lung cancer to obstruct the nutrient supply of tumor cells and kill tumor cells, so that the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis can be achieved with a remarkable effect.展开更多

Lewis lung cancer cells were inoculated subcutaneously into C57BL/6 mice. Seven days after inoculation, the tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into 3 groups and received intratumoral injection of （1） vehicle（PBS solution）, （2） vector（negative control）, and （3） STAT3 siRNA. Tumor volume and weight were calculated. Tumors and the lungs were excised for 21 days after inoculation. Expressions of STAT3, vascular endothelial growth factor（VEGF）, and matrix metalloproteinase-2（MMP2） were analyzed by RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemical staining. HE staining and TUNEL assay were used to confirm the apoptosis of tumors. The synthetic STAT3 siRNA effectively suppressed tumor growth, prevented tumor from pulmonary metastasis, and induced tumor apoptosis in vivo compared with vehicle and vectore in controls. It significantly inhibited STAT3 expression to contribute to downregulation of VEGF and MMP2 expression within tumors in vivo. This study demonstrates that STAT3 siRNA can effectively inhibit the expression of STAT3 gene within tumors, leading to suppression of tumor growth, prevention of cancer from pulmonary metastasis, and enhancing apoptosis of the transplanted Lewis lung cancer in mice in vivo.展开更多
