Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of gemcitabine combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy on angiogen-esis and cell invasion ability of cervical cancer. METHODS:Totally 37 patients undergoing radical operation selected from Chongq-ing Kaizhou District People's Hospital during Jan. 2015-Jun. 2016 were divided into observation group(n=19)and control group (n=18). Control group was given 3-D conformal radiation and chemotherapy which included Cisplatin injection 70 mg/m2,ivgtt+Fluorouracil injection 600 mg/m2,ivgtt on 1st and 21st day after radiotherapy. Observation group was additionally given Gemcitabi-ne hydrochloride for injection 800 mg/m2,ivgtt,1st and 8th day after radiotherapy. A treatment course lasted for 28 d. The radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were conducted after 2 courses of treatment. Clinical efficacy,microvessel density (MVD) of tumor,vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),Wnt1,Wnt3a,Wnt8 and β-catenin level were observed in 2 groups. The relationship of MVD with VEGF was analyzed,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total re-sponse rate of observation group(84.2%)was significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The levels of MVD,VEGF,Wnt1,Wnt3a,Wnt8 and β-catenin in 2 groups were significantly higher than healthy tissue;above index-es of focus tissue in observation group were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). MVD was positively correlated with VEGF. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (31.6% vs. 27.8%,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Gemcitabine combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy can regulate the angiogenesis of cervical cancer cell and the activity of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway,and reduce the invasion ability of cervical cancer cell,which may be the important mechanism of anti-tumor effect with good safety.
