title: [The Inhibitory Study of TNP  470 Combined CDDP on the Tumor Growth and Lung Metastasis of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma ACC  M in Nude Mice]
abstract: OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of TNP-470 combined CDDP on the tumor growth and lung metastasis of cell strain ACC-M in vivo. METHODS:High  potential lung metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma cell strains (ACC-M) 5x10(5) were injected simultaneously to 18 nude mice subcutaneously and enously. The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups. In group 1, TNP-470 was administered subcutaneously at the dose of 30mg/kg every other day for 2 weeks from the beginning of 3(rd) week to the end of 4(th) week. In group 2, 5mg/kg CDDP were injected into peritoneal cavity at the beginning of 3(rd) week and 4(th) week and TNP-470 in the same manner as group 1 additionally. In group 3, the same volume of 0.97% NaCl was injected in the manner of group 1. The mice were sacrificed by dislocating the neck at the end of 4 weeks. The tumor size and weights were recorded. The vascular density was measured by rabbit-anti-human factor VIII antibody stain. The results were analyzed by Student t and X(2) test. RESULTS:Group  1 and group  2 had fewer tumor weight and lung metastasis than the 3(rd) group. There was significant difference in the tumor weight and lung metastasis between group  1 and group  2. But the vascular density had no difference among three groups. CONCLUSION:TNP-470 combined CDDP has stronger inhibition on both the tumor growth and lung metastasis of human adenoid cystic carcinoma ACC-M than used alone.
