Objective To investigate the feasibility of low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles improving transfection of enhanced green lfuorescent protein plasmid (pEGFP) to subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer in nude mice, and to optimize the parameters of intensity. Methods The model of nude mice of subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer were built. Then they were divided into 2 groups including low-frequency ultrasound group and low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group, each group with 15 mice. Then 250μl of mixture of saline and pEGFP (50μg) were co-injected in low-frequency ultrasound group and 250μl of mixture of SonVue and pEGFP (50μg) were co-injected in low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group through tail vein. According to intensity, they were divided into 3 subgroups respectively, including group 1 W/cm2, group 2 W/cm2 and group 3 W/cm2, each group with 5 mice. Ultrasound was applied at 80 kHz input frequency with 50%duty cycle for 10 minutes after pEGFP injection. The tumors were collected on the third day after treatment. The expression of pEGFP in tumor was examined by laser scanning confocal microscope (ISCM) and the average lfuorescence intensity were estimated. At the same time, routine pathological examination was performed. The mean lfuorescence intensity of low frequency ultrasound group and low frequency ultrasound combined with microbubble group were compared with one-way ANOVA and those of any two groups were compared by SNQ-q test. Results TThe mean lfuorescent light in low-frequency ultrasound combined with microbubbles group were 23.75±2.54, 30.25±1.67 and 59.60±2.03, which were obviously stronger than those of low-frequency ultrasound treatment group (14.04±1.35, 14.66±0.98 and 14.32±1.20), the difference was statistically signiifcant (the value of q were 18.26, 14.12 and 13.88, P<0.05). The rate of gene transfection increased along with the enhancement of the ultrasound intensity (the value of q were 15.33, 17.81 and 13.79, P<0.05). Histology analyses performed by HE staining showed that there was no damage to the tumor tissues in all groups, tumor tissues were intact and without infection. Conclusions Low-frequency ultrasound combination with microbubbles can significantly enhance pEGFP transfecting into subcutaneously transplanted prostate cancer in nude mice. In certain range, improving the ultrasound intensity can increase the rate of gene transfection.

Objective To explore the duration of blood blocking effect and recovery process induced by low-frequency ultrasound combining microbubbles (USMB) on prostate cancer xenografts.Methods A total of 88 nude mice undergoing USMB was studied.Contrast enhanced ultrasound,Hemotoxylin and eosin staining,and modified Martius-Sarlet-Blue staining were used to compared the average peak intensity(API),time to peak intensity(TP) and histological alteration before and after treatment.Results Immediately after the treatment,the tumor contrast perfusion completely disappeared,API dropped from 68.63±5.25 to 18.01±2.73 (P<0.001,vs pre-treatment) and TP increased from (32.28±6.18)s to (72.63±7.47)s (P<0.001,vs pre-treatment).At 30 minutes and 1 hour after treatment,the tumor perfusion remained defect.At 2 hours after treatment,rarely dotted enhancement was showed.The differences among the three groups in API and TP at 30 minutes,1 hour and 2 hours after treatment were not significant (all P>0.05).From post-3 hours after treatment ,the tumor perfusion began a process of perfusion recovery,and showed nodular or large patch of heterogeneous enhancement.API at 3 hours after treatment was 51.99±6.20 (P<0.001,vs post treatment immediately),and TP decreased to (50.41±6.51)s (P<0.001,vs post treatment immediately).At 4 hours,5 hours,6 hours,12 hours and 24 hours after treatment ,CEUS showed homogeneous and rich enhancement,and there was no significant difference in both API and TP,compared with those pre-treatment (all P>0.05,vs pre-treatment).Histological examinations showed that,immediately after treatment,microvessels severely dilated,ruptured and intravascular and extravascular thrombi formed.At 30 minutes,1-hour and 2-hour after treatment,extravascular thrombi and hematomas gradually disappeared.From 3-hour after treatment,vessel dilation was lessened,and intravascular thrombi gradually shrank.At 12-hour after treatment,microvessels had almost fully recovered as pre-treatment.Conclusions USMB could block blood perfusion of prostate cancer xenografts in nude mice for 2 hours.The blood reperfusion is probably mainly caused by thrombolysis in microvessels.
