[The study of the growth-suppression and mechanisms of hepatocelluar carcinoma tumor in nude mice].
Study effect and mechanisms of growth-suppression of hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) in nude mice. The construction of the pAdeasy-1-pTrack-CMV-hIL-24 recombined adenovirus vector (Ad-hIL-24) was completed and lineared with PacI. Ad-hIL-24 were transfected into QBI-293 cells and obtained. 16 nude mice of the subcutaneous tumor models were established with SMMC-7721 HCC and were randomly divided into NS, 5-Fu, Ad and Ad-hIL-24 groups. Then 100 microL NS, Ad (10(7) pfu) and Ad-hIL-24 (10(7) pfu) for each one were given respectively QOD, and 5-Fu (20 microg/kg) were injected Q.D., for 5 times, with intratumor injections. After 15 d, 16 mice were sacrificed and subcutaneous tumors were taken out. The volumes (before administration, 1 week and 2weeks after administration) were measured and the weights of tumor were weighed and ratios of tumor-suppression were calculated. The morphological changes of apoptotic tumor cells were observed under microscope. Caspase3, P53 and P27, CD34 and VEGF were tested in immunohistochemistry. In tumor subcutaneous model, compared with NS group, the ratios of tumor-suppression of Ad-hIL-24 group and 5-Fu group were 68.52% (P < 0.01) and 65.64 (P < 0.01), respectively. Caspase3 protein in Ad-hIL-24 group was higher than other 3 groups significantly (P < 0.01). The expression of P27 also differed from NS group (P < 0.01). CD34 and VEGF protein in Ad-hIL-24 group can inhibit neovascularization obviously (P < 0.001), compared with NS and Ad groups. Ad-hIL-24 inhibits the growth of SMMC-7721 HCC on nude mice's. The mechanisms of tumor-suppression may be multi-pathways such as the induction of caspase3 pathway, P27 activities and the antiangiogenic mechanism.
