Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel is a Chinese medicinal herb for "blood-cooling" and detoxification. Now it is used for the treatment of malignant tumor, but the antitumor mechanisms and toxic side effects of P. chinensis are unclear. The present study was undertaken to investigate if P. chinensis saponins (PRS) possesses anticancer effects and toxic side effects in human liver tumor 7402 cells in vitro and vivo. 7402 cells were treated with different concentrations of PRS for 24h. Cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. The in vivo effect of PRS on 7402 tumor cells transplanted in athymic nude mice was investigated. 15 saponins were isolated and identified from PRS. PRS inhibited the proliferation of human liver tumor 7402 cells in vitro by apoptosis. 19 days after administration of PRS (100, 200mg/kg), the weight of tumor mass was markly decreased in nude mice. The anti-tumor effect of PRS in vivo was associated with a significant increase in the 7402 apoptosis rate. Although PRS inhibited the weight of mice, it showed almost no effect on leukocyte number, liver and spleen weight index. Light microscopic histopathological examination showed that PRS had no specific lesion in organ. These results suggested that P. chinensis saponins exert potential anticancer activity in treating tumors in nude mice and no toxic side effects.  相似文献

Recent studies suggest that lysozyme, rich in hen egg, has an antitumor function. In the present study, we investigated the antitumor and antiangiogenesis effects of a newly isolated marine lysozyme both in vitro and in vivo. First, we showed that this marine-derived lysozyme specifically inhibits the proliferation of endothelial cells (ECV304) in a dose-dependent manner with no cytotoxicity (IC50 = 3.64 μM). Second, we showed that this marine lysozyme directly suppresses neovascularization in chicken embryos using chorioallantoic membrane assay. Third, we demonstrated that this marine lysozyme markedly inhibits tumor growth in mice bearing either sarcoma 180 or hepatoma 22. Unexpectedly, hen egg lysozyme has no effects on the proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro or neovascularization in chicken embryos or tumor growth in nude mice at the same dosage range. Taken together, our studies clearly show that the newly identified marine lysozyme is a potent antitumor molecule, which may inhibit tumor growth and inhibit angiogenesis. We believe that this marine lysozyme may have a therapeutic value in antitumor drug development.  相似文献

Members of the Artemisia genus are important medicinal plants found throughout the world. Arteminolides A-D (1-4), isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia, have an inhibitory activity on farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase; EC 2.5.1.29) in in vitro assay. This study was carried out with the purpose of validating anti-tumor effects of the compounds in human tumor cells and mouse xenograft model. The arteminolides inhibited tumor cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, arteminolide C (3) blocked in vivo growth of human colon and lung tumor xenograft without the loss of body weight in nude mice.  相似文献

The immunostimulatory activity of Sophora flavescens polysaccharide (SFPW1) was evaluated by using in vitro cell models and in vivo animal models. The results demonstrated that SFPW1 could effectively inhibit the tumor growth in H22 tumor-bearing mice and promote the splenocyte proliferation, thus resulting in a prolonged life survival. For assay in vitro, SFPW1 significantly strengthened peritoneal macrophages to devour H22 tumor cells and stimulated macrophages to produce nitric oxide (NO) via up-regulation of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) activity. However, no direct cytotoxicity against H22 tumor cells was observed in vitro. These results suggest that SFPW1 might be a strong natural immunomodulator and the antitumor effect of this polysaccharide is associated with its potent immunostimulating effect.  相似文献

Background

To optimize the antitumor activity of oncrasin-1, a small molecule identified through synthetic lethality screening on isogenic K-Ras mutant tumor cells, we developed several analogues and determined their antitumor activities. Here we investigated in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of NSC-743380 (1-[(3-chlorophenyl) methyl]-1H-indole-3-methanol, oncrasin-72), one of most potent analogues of oncrasin-1.

Methodology and Principal Findings

In vitro antitumor activity was determined in NCI-60 cancer cell line panel using cell viability assay. In vivo antitumor activity was determined in parallel with NSC-741909 (oncrasin-60) in xenograft tumors established in nude mice from A498, a human renal cancer cell line. Changes in gene expression levels and signaling pathway activities upon treatment with NSC-743380 were analyzed in breast and renal cancer cells by Western blot analysis. Apoptosis was demonstrated by Western blot analysis and flow cytometric analysis. NSC-743380 is highly active against a subset of cancer cell lines derived from human lung, colon, ovary, kidney, and breast cancers. The 50% growth-inhibitory concentration (GI50) for eight of the most sensitive cell lines was ≤10 nM. In vivo study showed that NSC-743380 has a better safety profile and greater antitumor activity than NSC-741909. Treatment with NSC-743380 caused complete regression of A498 xenograft tumors in nude mice at the tested doses ranging from 67 mg/kg to 150 mg/kg. Mechanistic characterization revealed that NSC-743380 suppressed the phosphorylation of C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II, induced JNK activation, inhibited JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation and suppressed cyclin D1 expression in sensitive human cancer cells. Blocking JNK activation or overexpression of constitutively active STAT3 partially blocked NSC-743380-induced antitumor activity.

Conclusions

NSC-743380 induces antitumor activity through modulation of functions in multiple cancer related pathways and could be a potential anticancer agent for some solid tumors.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo effects of the new chemotherapy agent Casiopeina III-ia [(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipiridine)(acetylacetonate) Copper (II) nitrate] on HCT-15 (p53–/-) colon cellular line. In vitro, the drug reduced the viability and induced necrosis and apoptosis in a dose dependent manner, without affecting cell cycle phases. Apoptosis was related to Bax increasing levels, suggesting a caspase-dependent mechanism of death, as verified by nucleosomal fragmentation of DNA. In vivo, the antitumor activity of Casiopeina III-ia was tested in HCT-15 cells transplanted to nude mice. In this study we will show that the novel antineoplastic agent Casiopeina III-ia is active on this colon tumor line, setting out as a good candidate for the treatment of colon tumors refractory to chemotherapy.

The athymic nude mouse is a useful animal model for assaying the neoplastic growth potential in vivo of animal cells transformed in vitro. Despite the demonstrated absence of thymus-dependent immunological functions, however, the nude mouse has now been shown to reject transplants of certain highly malignant heterologous tumors. In addition, a few transformed mammalian cell lines that exhibit all or most of the cellular phenotypes usually associated with malignancy fail to grow as tumors when injected into nude mice. In a continuing study to identify the in vitro phenotypes associated with tumor-forming ability in vivo, we investigated the role of cellular susceptibility to the naturally occurring, thymus-independent lymphocytes (natural killer or NK cells) in determining tumor induction by animal cells in nude mice. A representative collection of animal cells (ranging from normal human diploid cell strains to highly tumorigenic clonal cell lines, either transformed in vitro or derived from experimental tumors) was tested to see if the ability of cells to form tumors is consistently correlated with their susceptibility to NK cell-mediated lysis measured in vitro with splenic leukocytes from nude mice. If the physiological role of the NK cells in vivo were to recognize, and possibly to destroy, incipient tumor cells in situ, a direct association between cellular tumorigenicity and susceptibility to NK activity, might be expected. If, on the other hand, the formation of growing tumors by animal cells in nude mice depended on their ability to escape the cytolytic activity of NK cells, cellular tumorigenicity would be associated with cellular resistance to NK cells. Results obtained in this study failed to confirm either of these associations. Thus, cellular suscepbibility to NK cells, at least as determined by direct cytotoxicity assay in vitro, is not a useful predictive indicator of cellular tumorigenicity in nude mice.  相似文献

1. The induction of metallothionein (MT) protein by TPA (O-tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate), a protein kinase C activator, was demonstrated in vivo in rat liver and in vitro in rat hepatocytes in primary culture. In vivo half maximal induction at 25 hr was seen at 26 nmol TPA/kg body wt. Five- to seven-fold inductions were seen in vivo. De novo protein synthesis was required for this induction as demonstrated by cycloheximide inhibition of [35S]cysteine incorporation into MT protein. 2. TPA induction of MT protein in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes reached levels of 2.6-4.1-fold, as assessed by [35S]cysteine incorporation, 1.34-2.20-fold, as assessed by 109Cd binding in a metal displacement/HPLC assay, and 2.5-5-fold, as assessed by 109Cd binding in a metal displacement/Sephadex G-75 Superfine assay. 3. The induction of MT mRNA by TPA was demonstrated in vivo in rat liver and in vitro in 2 rat hepatoma cell lines, EC3 and 2M. MT mRNA was quantitated using dot blot and Northern gel assays. In vivo TPA induced hepatic MT mRNA 2.36-5.88-fold (dot blot) and 7.4-22-fold (Northern gels). In vitro TPA induced MT mRNA 1.71-15.26-fold in EC3 cells and 2.23-8.43-fold in 2M cells. MT mRNA was 0.54 kb, and alpha-tubulin mRNA was 1.62 kb in size on Northern gels. 4. TPA induction of MT protein and mRNA in vivo and in vitro is rapid and persistent and occurs at low concentrations. The 2 rat hepatoma cell lines provide a useful system in which to study MT induction in vitro without confounding secondary effects which can occur in vivo.  相似文献

Background

Gene therapy and viral therapy are used for cancer therapy for many years, but the results are less than satisfactory. Our aim was to construct a new recombinant adenovirus which is more efficient to kill hepatocarcinoma cells but more safe to normal cells.

Methods

By using the Cancer Targeting Gene-Viro-Therapy strategy, Apoptin, a promising cancer therapeutic gene was inserted into the double-regulated oncolytic adenovirus AD55 in which E1A gene was driven by alpha fetoprotein promoter along with a 55 kDa deletion in E1B gene to form AD55-Apoptin. The anti-tumor effects and safety were examined by western blotting, virus yield assay, real time polymerase chain reaction, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, Hoechst33342 staining, Fluorescence-activated cell sorting, xenograft tumor model, Immunohistochemical assay, liver function analysis and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling assay.

Results

The recombinant virus AD55-Apoptin has more significant antitumor effect for hepatocelluar carcinoma cell lines (in vitro) than that of AD55 and even ONYX-015 but no or little impair on normal cell lines. Furthermore, it also shows an obvious in vivo antitumor effect on the Huh-7 liver carcinoma xenograft in nude mice with bigger beginning tumor volume till about 425 mm3 but has no any damage on the function of liver. The induction of apoptosis is involved in AD55-Apoptin induced antitumor effects.

Conclusion

The AD55-Apoptin can be a potential anti-hepatoma agent with remarkable antitumor efficacy as well as higher safety in cancer targeting gene-viro-therapy system.  相似文献

Summary DBA/2 mice were immunized i.p. against syngeneic SL2 lymphosarcoma cells. At various days after the last immunization peritoneal and spleen lymphocytes were collected. The lymphocyte suspensions were enriched for T-cells by nylon wool filtration.The peritoneal T-cells from immunized mice (a) expressed direct specific antitumor cytotoxicity in vitro, (b) induced macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro, and (c) exerted tumor neutralization measured in a Winn-type assay. Spleen T-cells from these immunized mice (a) expressed no direct specific antitumor cytotoxicity in vitro, (b) only induced moderate macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro, but (c) exerted tumor neutralization in a Winn assay.For effective tumor neutralization in vivo effector target cell ratios of 1000:1 were required. When the effector/target ratio of 1000:1 was maintained but the absolute numbers of effector and target cells were lowered from 106 to 105 lymphocytes and 103 to 102 target cells respectively, no tumor neutralization was obtained.The major effect of the sensitized-transferred T-lymphocytes seemed to be the induction of cytotoxic macrophages in the (naive) recipient mice, as the peritoneal macrophages collected from the recipient mice 7 days after i.p. injection of a mixture of sensitized T-cells and tumor cells were cytotoxic. Purified peritoneal T-lymphocytes collected from these recipient mice were able to induce macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro but expressed no cytotoxic T-cell activity.In conclusion, our results show that in the tumor system used, tumor neutralization after transfer of sensitized lymphocytes is not dependent on the presence of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Lymphocytes with the strongest potency to render macrophages cytotoxic (in vitro and in vivo) also induce the best tumor neutralization in vivo, suggesting an important role for host macrophages as antitumor effector cells.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of antitumor activity of the venom from the spider Macrothele raven (Araneae, Hexathelidae) on the human breast carcinoma cell line, MCF-7. The spider venom affected cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner as observed by [(3)H]-methyl thymidine incorporation assay. Cytotoxicity changes in MCF-7 cells caused by the spider venom at concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 mug/mL were determined by lactate dehydrogenase release assay. Flow cytometry showed that the spider venom induced apoptosis and necrosis of MCF-7 cells at these concentrations. MCF-7 cells treated with spider venom were accumulated on the G(2)/M and G(0)/G(1) phases. In addition, Western blotting analysis indicated that one of the pharmacological mechanisms of spider venom was to activate the expression of p21. In vivo examination of the inhibition of tumor growth in nude mice by the spider venom (at concentrations of 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 mug/g mice) revealed that tumor size significantly decreased compared to controls by 21 days of treatment and at all points of analysis thereafter for 7 weeks (p < 0.01). We thus propose that the in vivo and in vitro effects of the spider venom can be possibly estimated.  相似文献

Somatostatin and its analogs are active in the inhibition of SST receptor-positive endocrine neoplasms, but their activity and mechanism in nonendocrine tumors is not clear. Somatostatin potently inhibited growth of a Kaposi's sarcoma xenograft in nude mice, yet in vitro the tumor cells did not express any known somatostatin receptors and were not growth inhibited by somatostatin. Histological examination revealed limited vascularization in the somatostatin-treated tumors as compared with the controls. Somatostatin was a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis in an in vivo assay. In vitro, somatostatin inhibited endothelial cell growth and invasion. Migration of monocytes, important mediators of the angiogenic cascade, was also inhibited by somatostatin. Both cells types expressed somatostatin receptor mRNAs. These data demonstrate that somatostatin is a potent antitumor angiogenesis compound directly affecting both endothelial and monocytic cells. The debated function of somatostatin in tumor treatment and the design of therapeutic protocols should be reexamined considering these data.  相似文献

G207 is a multi-mutated, replication-competent type-1 herpes simplex virus designed to target, infect, and lyse neurological tumors. This study examines the feasibility of using G207 in the treatment of human colorectal cancer and defines the biological determinants of its antitumor efficacy. This virus was tested on five human colorectal cancer cell lines in vitro to determine efficacy of infection and tumor cell kill. These results were correlated to measures of tumor cell proliferation. In vivo testing was performed through direct injections of G207 into xenografts of human colorectal cancer tumors grown in flanks of athymic rats. To evaluate an alternate method of administration, hepatic portal vein infusion of G207 was performed in a syngeneic model of liver metastases in Buffalo rats. Among the five cell lines tested, infection rates ranged between 10% and 90%, which correlated directly with S-phase fraction (8.6%-36.6%) and was proportional to response to G207 therapy in vitro (1%-93%). Direct injection of G207 into nude rat flank tumors suppressed tumor growth significantly vs. control (0.58 +/- 0.60 cm(3) vs. 9.16 +/- 3.70 cm(3), P<0. 0001). In vivo tumor suppression correlated with in vitro effect. In the syngeneic liver tumor model, portal infusion resulted in significant reduction in number of liver nodules (13 +/- 10 nodules in G207-treated livers vs. 80 +/- 30 nodules in control livers, P<0.05). G207 infects and kills human colorectal cancer cells efficiently. In vitro cytotoxicity assay and tumor S-phase fraction can be used to predict response to treatment in vivo. This antineoplastic agent can be delivered effectively by both direct tumor injection and regional vascular infusion. G207 should be investigated further as therapy for colorectal cancer and liver metastases.  相似文献
