title: [Intravesical perfusion of recombinant adeno-associated virus-endostatin in treatment of bladder cancer: experiments with mice].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the anti-tumor effect of intravesical perfusion of recombinant adeno-associated virus-endostatin (rAAV-ES) in treatment of bladder cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty-five C57BL/6 mice underwent intravesical perfusion of mouse bladder cancer cells of the line MB49 so as to establish orthotopic murine bladder cancer models and were divided into 3 equal groups, 3 days later to undergo intravesical perfusion of rAAV-ES, rAAV-EYFP, and PBS respectively once per week for 6 times. The anti-tumor effect of rAAV-ES on the tumor bearing mice was studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The tumor weight of the rAAV-ES group was (145 +/- 30) mg, significantly lighter than those of the rAAV-EYFP and PBS groups [(250 +/- 32) mg and (250 +/- 30) mg respectively, both P < 0.05]. The survival time of the rAAV-ES-treated mice was (46 +/- 7) d, significantly longer than those of the rAAV-EYFP- and PBS-treated groups [(38 +/- 7) d and (38 +/- 6) d respectively, both P < 0.05].
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  An effective biologic agent in bladder cancer gene therapy, intravesical treatment with rAAV-ES inhibits the angiogenesis, thus inhibiting the tumor formation and progression.
