Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of E1B gene-deleted adenovirus (H101)and ethanol in treating advanced pancreatic carcinomas by intratumoral injection combined with intravenous gemcitabine.Methods We constructed an orthotopic nude mouse model of pancreatic carcinoma through cancer cell injection into pancreas.A total of 54 nude mice were randomly allocated to 6 groups to accept H101,ethanol or saline (control) intratumoral injection,combined with or without intravenous gemcitabiein.The animals were sacrificed 4 weeks after the treatment and the pancreatic tumors were collected to determine the size,existence of metastasis,distribution of virus by indirect immunofluorescence and apoptosis in tumor by TUNEL and electron microscope.Results All mice completed the scheduled treatment,while 3 died in 48 hours after ethanol injection resulting in a mortality of 16.7％ (3/18).On the contrary,no mice died in the adenovirus injcction group.The average tumor size in group of H101 intratumoral injection combined with intravenous gemcitabie was significant smaller than that in group of saline injection with or without systemic gemcitabie (P =0.008,0.040,respectively).Similar differences were observed between ethanol intratumoral injection and control groups (P =0.012,0.041).Meanwhile,the H101 was absent in all the other organs except the pancreas,which meant that the selectivity of the H101 was tremcndous.The virus combine gemcitabie group had higher apoptosis rate in tumor (83.2 ± 35.7) ％,determined by TUNEL.Conclusion E1B gene-deleted adenovirus intratumral injection in combination with intravenous gemcitabine treating pancreatic carcinomas is efficient and safe,in spite of its lower effectiveness than ethanol.
