Abstract:
Background and purpose:Endostatin can effectively inhibit angiogenesis,it could slow down tumor growth in heterogenic transplantation model by given ES systematically.This study was to evaluate the inhibition of endostatin on tumor growth and metastasis of lung cancer of the thoracic cavity implant model in nude mouse.Methods:H460 cells were inoculated subcutaneously into the thoracic cavity of nude mouse,and the mice were randomized into ES group(ESG)and control group(CG).At the fi rst day,the ESG was given 20 mg/kg of endostatin s.c.qd,the CG was treated daily s.c.with equal volumes of PBS for 20 days.The weight of the animal and the transplantation tumor,mice life span,MMP2 of blood were observed.Results:The rate of tumor formation was 100%,and the thoracic cavity implant models gradually had metastasis.The transplantation tumor weights were(1.54?0.14)in ESG group that was less than that(0.9?0.3)in CG group(t=-3.163,P=0.005);the comparison of the change value of weight on day 1 and day 21 between CG(1.9?2.8)and ESG(-0.8?2.8)was statistically different(t=-2.156,P=0.045).The average survival time of the ESG was longer than that of the CG.Conclusion:The results demonstrate that endostatin could inhibit the growth and metastasis of H460 cell in athymic mouse,and one of the important mechanisms involves was inhibition of the MMPs expression.The thoracic cavity implant model was easier to obtain metastasis,and provided a reliable research tool for the study of endostatin inhibition on tumor growth and metastasis of lung cancer.
