Magnetic nano-Fe3O4 particles targeted gathering and bio-effects on nude mice loading human hepatoma Bel-7402 cell lines model under external magnetic field exposure in vivo

Abstract

Magnetic nano-Fe₃O₄ particles (MNPs), static magnetic field (SMF) and extremely low-frequency altering electric magnetic field (ELFF) were utilized to treat nude mice loading hepatoma Bel-7402 cell lines to investigate the therapeutic values of MNPs combined with ELFF in vivo. Magnetic resonance image (MRI) figures showed that about 98.9% MNPs injected into mice body through tail vein were gathered in tumor focal by SMF directing exposure. Single ELFF and MNPs treatments did not influence mice physiological function obviously. However, gathered MNPs combined with ELFF treatment prolonged mice survival time and inhibited loading tumor cells proliferation significantly compared to other mice groups (p?<?0.05); furthermore, the tumor cells early apoptosis ratio of mice group was significantly higher than other groups (p?<?0.05), and ELFF combined with gathered MNPs treatment improved tumor cells early apoptosis associated with Bcl group protein expression: Bax protein expression was higher than Bcl-2 and the combined treatment improved cells Heat shock protein-27 (Hsp-27) expression which could protect cells avoiding early apoptosis. The possible mechanism that this kind of combination inducing more cells into early apoptosis could be due to ELFF exposure influencing cells ion metabolism, MNPs strengthening the effects, and the ELFF vibrating MNPs to generate extra heat and activate cellular heat shock signal channel.

Tyroserleutide tripeptide affects calcium homeostasis of human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 cells

This study aimed to observe the effects of tyroserleutide (tyrosyl-seryl-leucine, YSL) on the growth of human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 that was transplanted into nude mice, and explore its anti-tumor mechanism preliminarily. YSL, at doses of 80 μg-kg^-1 · d^-1, 160 μg·kg^-1 ·d^-1 and 320 μg · kg^-1 · d^-1 significantly inhibited the growth of the human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 tumor in nude mice, producing inhibition of 21.66%, 41.34%, and 34.78%, respectively. Ultra structure of BEL-7402 tumor in nude mice showed that YSL could induce tumor cells apoptosis and necrosis, cell organelle mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum damage, and calcium overload. By confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry, we found that 10 μg/mL YSL rapidly induced an increase of the concentration of cytoplasmic free calcium in BEL-7402 cells in vitro, and maintained high concentrations of cytoplasmic free calcium for 1 h. Then the calcium concentration began to decrease after 2 h, and was lower than that of the control group at 4 h and 24 h (P< 0.05). YSL also decreased the mitochondrial transmembrane potential of BEL-7402 cells in vitro, but had no effect on the calcium homeostasis or mitochondrial transmembrane potential of Chang liver hepatocytes. So affecting calcium homeostasis, then inducing apoptosis and necrosis may be a mechanism by which YSL inhibits the tumor growth in animal model.

Tripeptide tyroserleutide enhances the antitumor effects of macrophages and stimulates macrophage secretion of IL-1β, TNF-α, and NO in vitro

Tyroserleutide (YSL) is a type of active, low molecular weight polypeptide, comprised of three amino acids, which has antitumor effects. YSL has various advantages over the other bioactive peptides such as its low molecular weight, simple construction, nonimmunogenicity, specificity, few side effects, and ease of synthesis. However, the biological activities contributing to it’s antitumor effects are not yet known. We studied the effects of YSL on the in vitro cytotoxic activity of BALB/c mice peritoneal macrophages (PEMφ) against the target tumor cell lines BEL-7402 and B16-F10. We also measured the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and nitric oxide (NO) produced by YSL-activated Mφ, and we determined the concentrations of IL-1β and NO secreted by YSL-activated murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells. YSL activated Mφ in vitro, inhibited BEL-7402 proliferation, enhanced PEMφ antitumor effects, and stimulated IL-1β, TNF-α, and NO production by RAW264.7 cells. These data suggest that YSL activates the monocyte–macrophage system, which enhances Mφ antitumor effects against BEL-7402 and B16-F10 cells and stimulates the secretion by Mφ of cytotoxic effectors such as IL-1β, TNF-α, and NO.
