Objective We established a model of human breast cancer in nude mice, to discuss the feature of pathology and biology of breast cancer,and give help to establish tools of pathogen research. Methods Human breast cancer cells MCF-7 were subcutaneously injected into the right armpit of nude mice to establish human breast cancer models.The mice were divided into composite group, estrogen group, leptin group and the blank group (30 in each). In the composite group,estrogen and leptin were injected into peripheral region of the tumor daily.In the estrogen group,estrogen was injected.In the leptin group, leptin was injected.In the blank group, physiological saline was injected.Tumor growth was observed, and the volume of the tumor was recorded.The tumor tissues obtained from the mice were pathologically examined. Results (1)The tumor-taking rate of leptin group and the blank group were 46.7% (14/30)and33.3% (10/30) ,and the mode is failure.In composite group and estrogen group they were 96.7% (29/30) and 70% (28/30).There was not significant difference between them ( P < 0.05).(2) The differences of average diameter and volume were statistically significant between the composite group and the estrogen group (P < 0.05).(3) Pathology diagnosis was invasive ductal carcinoma. Conclusions (1) Establishing human breast cancer model in nude mice need the stimulation of estrogen. The tumor-taking rate of nude mice has no relationship with leptin.(2) In the study in vivo, leptin as same as estrogen has stimulating effect on MCF-7 cells proliferation.(3) The transplanted cancer cell partly have the pathology and biology features of the human breast cancer cells and give help to establish tools of pathogen research.
