To date, no single or multiple molecular markers have been successful in predicting sensitivity of individual patients to anti-cancer drugs. As the nature of a specific cancer is considered to be defined by the proteins being expressed in the tumor cells, systematic analysis of gene-expression profiles may provide information reflecting sensitivity of a given tumor to certain drugs. Recent progress in genome technology has enabled us to examine expression profiles of thousands of genes in a single experiment. We used this approach to examine 13 xenografts of human tumors implanted into nude mice for sensitivity to an orally active, selective epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), ZD1839 (Iressa). To identify genes that might be associated with sensitivity to this drug we used a cDNA microarray representing 23,040 genes to analyze expression profiles of the 13 xenografts and identified 114 genes whose expression levels correlated significantly with sensitivity of the tumors to ZD1839. We then investigated alteration of expression profiles in response to the ZD1839 treatment in four non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) xenografts, of which two (LC6 and LC11) were sensitive and the other two (Lu116 and L27) were resistant to this EGFR-TKI. Systematic analysis of expression at various time points during oral treatment for 14 days, compared with corresponding untreated samples, identified a set of genes whose expression levels changed in the two sensitive tumors but not in the two resistant tumors. The data obtained here should provide useful information on the molecular mechanism underlying clinical responses to EGFR-TKIs, aid the development of novel therapies for lung cancer, and potentially identify predictive molecular markers for sensitivity to ZD1839. 相似文献

We investigated the role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling in the growth and metastasis of PC-3MM2 human prostate cancer cells. Highly metastatic PC-3MM2 human prostate cancer cells were engineered to constitutively overexpress a dominant-negative type II TGF-beta receptor (DNR). Transfection of DNR had minimal direct effects on cell growth and attenuated TGF-beta-induced cell growth inhibition and TGF-beta1 production. There were no discernable differences in tumorigenicity (tumor incidence) among PC-3MM2 variants when the cells were implanted into the prostates of nude mice. Growth rate and metastatic incidence of DNR-engineered PC-3MM2 cells, however, were significantly reduced. Most cells in the control tumors were positively stained by an antibody to proliferation cell nuclear antigen and very few cells were stained by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling (TUNEL). In sharp contrast, tumors formed by PC-3MM2-DNR cells contained fewer proliferation cell nuclear antigen-positive cells and many more TUNEL-positive cells. Staining with antibody against CD31 showed that control tumors contained more blood vessels than PC-3MM2-DNR tumors. Expression of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in tumors formed by PC-3MM2 cells was significantly reduced as revealed by both Northern blotting and ELISA. Finally, transfection of antisense IL-8 cDNA significantly reduced IL-8 production by PC-3MM2 cells and antisense IL-8-transfected PC-3MM2 cells grew slower in comparison with parental and control vector-transfected cells. Taken together, our data suggest that TGF-beta signaling, by regulating IL-8 expression in tumor cells and hence tumor angiogenesis, is critical for progressive growth of PC-3MM2 cells in the prostate of nude mice. 相似文献

Xenografts of 3 human malignant cell lines in congenitally athymic nude mice have been examined for susceptibility to BCG. Growth of all 3 tumours, a bladder carcinoma, a melanoma and a colon carcinoma, was suppressed when cells were injected in admixture with BCG. Distant injection of BCG was ineffective. Mice with progressive growths had no detectable anti-human antibody, and rejection of cells and BCG failed to confer protection against subsequent tumour challenge. These studies indicate that human malignant cells are susceptible to local BCG-activated host responses, and that athymic mouse xenografts may be a useful model for assessing the response of human tumours to such agents. 相似文献

Experiments have been performed to clarify whether LHRH agonists might decrease growth of hormone-unresponsive prostate cancer in vivo. Male nude mice were injected s.c. with the human androgen-independent prostate tumor DU 145 cells; osmotic minipumps releasing the LHRH agonist Zoladex (LHRH-A) for 14 days were simultaneously implanted under the skin. Treatment with LHRH-A induced a significant decrease in tumor growth up to the end of the treatment. In subsequent experiment, minipumps releasing LHRH-A were implanted in nude mice either 7 or 14 days after cell inoculation. When the treatment was started 7 days after inoculation of the cells, tumor growth was significantly decreased up to 28 days; thereafter, tumor volume remained lower than in controls, although not significantly. When LHRH-A was administered beginning 14 days after cell inoculation, tumor growth was not significantly affected at any time interval considered. LHRH-A did not appear to induce apoptosis in DU 145 cells, at least on the basis of the apoptotic index and immunohistochemical staining of the p53 protein. On the other hand, treatment with LHRH-A was accompanied by a significant decrease of the concentration of epidermal growth factor receptors in DU 145 prostate cancer specimens. Our results show that the LHRH agonist used significantly inhibits the growth of DU 145 androgen-independent prostate tumor xenografts in nude mice. Int. J.

Recent evidence suggests that androgens stimulate growth of human prostate cancer partly by regulating expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we used CWR22Rv1, a novel androgen-responsive but androgen-independent human prostate cancer model, to evaluate the effect of androgen withdrawal on tumor growth, expression of VEGF and the cell proliferation marker Ki-67, and angiogenesis. A time-release testosterone pellet was implanted three days before inoculation of CWR22Rv1 cells in the mice. The tumor volumes were measured every three days. Serum PSA was measured on days 1, 12, 20, 27 and 34 post inoculation. Castration was performed on the 20th day post inoculation. Immunohistochemical assays were used to evaluate cell proliferation and microvessel density. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify VEGF expression. The average tumor volumes in the castration group on the 27th and 34th days were 122 and 168 mm3, respectively, compared to 156 and 210 mm3 in the non-castration group (p<0.01). Serum PSA level in the castration group decreased to about 41% of the level of the non-castration group (p<0.01). The VEGF protein levels in the tumors of castrated and non-castrated mice on day 34 were 0.62 pg and 1.36 pg/100 microg total protein, respectively (p<0.001). The mean percentage of Ki-67-positive tumor cells in the castrated and non-castrated groups were 1.8% and 2.8%, respectively (p=0.015). The mean microvessel densities in the castrated and non-castrated groups were 15 and 22 vessels/field, respectively (p<0.01) We conclude androgen withdrawal reduced both VEGF and microvessel density, and this was associated with decreased cellular proliferation in androgen-independent CWR22Rv1 human prostate cancer tumor in vivo. 相似文献

Thirty-two surgical specimens and three cell lines of human gastric cancers were used for subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice, resulting in the establishment of eight (25%) xenografts from the surgical specimens and two (67%) from the cell lines. The localization of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the surgical specimens and cell lines of the gastric cancers and their xenografts in nude mice was then investigated immunohistochemically. Epidermal growth factor was stained in the cytoplasm of the cancer cells, being detected in 16 (50%) of the 32 surgical specimens and in all of the cell lines. Seven (44%) of the sixteen EGF-positive surgical specimens and one (6%) of the 16 EGF-negative ones were tumorigenic in nude mice. All of the xenografts in nude mice were positive for EGF. The tumorigenicity of human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice may, therefore, be correlated with the presence of EGF in cancer cells. 相似文献

20-(S)-Camptothecin (CAM), a plant alkaloid, was tested against 13 human cancer xenograft lines carried by immunodeficient (nude) mice. The drug, formulated in 20% intralipid and given i.m., was more effective than any other clinically available drug tested. It was found that: (a) CAM, at nontoxic doses, suppressed growth and induced regression of cancer of the colon (3 lines), lung (4 lines), breast (2 lines), stomach (1 line), ovary (1 line), and malignant melanoma (2 lines); (b) the drug was equally effective administered i.m. or p.o. Both routes are significantly better than i.v. administration; (c) CAM is substantially more effective and less toxic than its sodium salt, which was unsuccessfully tested in cancer patients. CAM should be further tested against responsive cancers as a drug which is easy to isolate and formulate for large-scale studies. 相似文献

Expression of some features of the malignant phenotype were compared in the DU145 and PC-3M human prostate cancer cell lines after their intraprostatic growth in nude mice. At necropsy, 27/74 (36%) mice injected with DU145 cells and 41/75 (55%) injected with PC-3M cells had either invasive macroscopic tumors, or microscopic intraprostatic tumor cell nests (p = 0.02). Para-aortic lymph node metastases had occurred in 19% of the DU145 cell, and 44% of the PC-3M cell tumor-bearing animals (p = 0.033). Immunohistochemical staining showed high mutant p53 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression by DU145 cells; PC-3M cells did not express detectable p53, and had relatively low VEGF immunohistochemical reactivity. Assays by ELISA established a statistically significant difference in VEGF levels between the cell lines (p < 0.001). Urokinase-like plasminogen activator (uPA) levels, determined by ELISA, were ten-fold higher in the PC-3M cell tumors, as were matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activities assessed by zymography. These findings of high expression of uPA and MMP-9, two key proteolytic enzymes in the invasive/metastatic process, by PC-3M cell prostatic tumors are consistent with their aggressive behavior; the low VEGF levels compared with those in the poorly metastatic DU145 cell tumors suggest that other angiogenic factors may be critical for prostate cancer cell progression in this model. 相似文献

Metastatic model for human prostate cancer using orthotopic implantation in nude mice. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

BACKGROUND: Understanding the mechanism of prostate cancer metastasis is essential to the design of a more effective therapy. An effective therapy for this disease will depend on the development of a clinically relevant in vivo model. PURPOSE: We describe the development of such a model by using orthotopic implantation of human prostate cells in BALB/c nude mice. METHOD: We compared the tumorigenicity of and the incidence of metastasis of human prostate cancer PC-3M and LNCaP-FGC (LNCaP) cell lines subsequent to prostatic (orthotopic) or subcutaneous (ectopic) implantations in male nude mice. RESULTS: LNCaP cells produced tumors only in the prostate. Enhanced tumorigenicity at the orthotopic site was found for PC-3M cells. Lymph node metastases were observed in practically all mice given an injection of PC-3M cells in the prostate, but they were uncommon with subcutaneous injection of these cells. Bilateral orchiectomy did not alter the tumorigenicity of either PC-3M or LNCaP cells or the incidence of lymph node metastasis by PC-3M cells. LNCaP tumors in the mouse prostate (but not PC-3M tumors) elaborated detectable levels of human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the serum, even when tumors were small (1.5 mm in diameter). Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed the presence of the PSA marker in tissue sections of LNCaP but not of PC-3M tumors. CONCLUSIONS: The implantation of human prostate cancer cells in an ectopic environment does not permit expression of metastatic potential. In contrast, intraprostatic implantation does. IMPLICATIONS: These data suggest that the orthotopic injection of human prostate cancer cells into the nude mouse may provide a valuable model to study the biology and therapy of human prostate cancer. 相似文献

Sequence-dependent effects of ZD1839 ('Iressa') in combination with cytotoxic treatment in human head and neck cancer 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Elevated levels of epidermal growth factor receptor in head and neck cancer have been extensively reported, and are correlated with poor prognosis. The combination of cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil is a standard treatment regimen for head and neck cancer, with radiation representing another therapeutic option. Six head and neck cancer cell lines were used to study the cytotoxic effects of combining ZD1839 ('Iressa'), a new selective epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and radiation. Two of the cell lines were also used to study the combination of ZD1839 and cisplatin/5-fluorouracil. Cytotoxic effects were assessed by the MTT test. The results indicated that ZD1839 applied before radiation gave the best effects (P=0.002); an effect that was strongest in those p53-mutated cell lines that express the highest epidermal growth factor receptor levels. The effects of ZD1839 with cisplatin and/or 5-fluorouracil were sequence dependent (P<0.003), with the best results achieved when ZD1839 was applied first. For the triple combinations, ZD1839 applied before cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil resulted in a slight synergistic effect (P=0.03), although the effect was greater when ZD1839 was applied both before and during cytotoxic drug exposure. In conclusion, ZD1839 applied before radiation and before and/or during cisplatin/5-fluorouracil may improve the efficacy of treatment for head and neck cancer. 相似文献

Contrasting actions of estradiol on the growth of human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effects of estradiol on the growth of six human gastric xenografts in nude mice were studied and diverse effects were found, including one case of stimulation, two of inhibition and three of unchanged condition. Neither the histological features of the original tumor nor the estrogen-binding capacity seemed to be related to the response to estradiol. It is concluded that the growth of human gastric cancer can be modulated by estradiol. 相似文献

Wogonin is a plant monoflavonoid which has been reported to inhibit cell growth and/or induce apoptosis in various tumors. Herein, we investigated the in vitro and in vivo anticancer effects and associated mechanisms of wogonin in human breast cancer. Effects of wogonin were examined in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and -negative human breast cancer cells in culture for proliferation, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. The in vivo effect of oral wogonin was examined on tumor xenograft growth in athymic nude mice. The molecular changes associated with the biological effects of wogonin were analyzed by immunoblotting. Cell growth was attenuated by wogonin (50-200 microM), independently of its ER status, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Apoptosis was enhanced and accompanied by upregulation of PARP and Caspase 3 cleavages as well as proapoptotic Bax protein. Akt activity was suppressed and reduced phosphorylation of its substrates, GSK-3beta and p27, was observed. Suppression of Cyclin D1 expression suggested the downregulation of the Akt-mediated canonical Wnt signaling pathway. ER expression was downregulated in ER-positive cells, while c-ErbB2 expression and its activity were suppressed in ER-negative SK-BR-3 cells. Wogonin feeding to mice showed inhibition of tumor growth of T47D and MDA-MB-231 xenografts by up to 88% without any toxicity after 4 weeks of treatment. As wogonin was effective both in vitro and in vivo, our novel findings open the possibility of wogonin as an effective therapeutic and/or chemopreventive agent against both ER-positive and -negative breast cancers, particularly against the more aggressive and hormonal therapy-resistant ER-negative types. 相似文献

Chemosensitivity of human head and neck cancer xenografts in the clonogenic assay and in nude mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The potential use of human head and neck (H & N) tumours, growing in athymic nude mice, for preclinical assessment of cytostatic drug sensitivity in a soft agar cloning system was examined. Of 20 H & N tumour xenografts, obtained from 6 different xenograft lines, 17 demonstrated sufficient colony growth to evaluate in vitro drug sensitivity. Moreover, all xenografts provided enough cells to test 8 cytostatic drugs at 3 concentrations each. A dose-dependent inhibition of colony growth was obtained with all drugs tested, except methotrexate. Tumours were considered sensitive when the drug concentration required to inhibit colony formation by 50%, was less than 1/10 of the peak plasma concentration in patients. All H & N tumour lines were resistant to cisplatin, doxorubicin, hydroxyurea, mafosfamide (an in vitro active analogue of cyclophosphamide) and methotrexate. Bleomycin was active in 1/6 and 5-fluorouracil in 6/6 of the H & N tumour lines tested. In 32 cases the in vitro data of the H & N tumour lines and a chemosensitive rat rhabdomyosarcoma were compared directly with in vivo results obtained in nude mice. The clonogenic assay correctly predicted sensitivity in 4/6 (66.7%) and resistance in 21/26 (80.8%) of the cases. A lack of correlation was noted for methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide. In vitro culture of human H & N xenografts may provide a means for a rapid and large scale screening to identify new drugs active against H & N malignancies. In addition the clonogenic assay may help to select drugs for subsequent testing in the nude mouse xenograft model. The lack of correlation for some drugs in the present study indicates that there are some limitations in the use of xenograft tumour material for in vitro testing of new drugs. 相似文献

Antisense TRPM-2 oligodeoxynucleotides chemosensitize human androgen-independent PC-3 prostate cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Although numerous chemotherapeutic regimens have been evaluated for patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer, none has improved survival. Testosterone-repressed prostate message-2 (TRPM-2), which is highly up-regulated after androgen withdrawal and during androgen-independent progression in prostate cancer, has been shown to inhibit apoptosis induced by various kinds of stimuli. The objectives in this study were to test whether antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) targeted against TRPM-2 enhance chemosensitivity in human androgen-independent prostate cancer PC-3 cells both in vitro and in vivo. Initially, the potency of 10 AS ODNs targeting various regions of the TRPM-2 mRNA were evaluated, and the AS ODN targeted to the TRPM-2 translation initiation site (AS ODN#2) was found to be the most potent sequence for inhibiting TRPM-2 expression in PC-3 cells. Despite significant dose-dependent and sequence-specific suppression of TRPM-2 expression, AS ODN#2 had no effect on growth of PC-3 cells both in vitro and in vivo. However, pretreatment of PC-3 cells with AS ODN#2 significantly enhanced chemosensitivity of Taxol (paclitaxel) and mitoxantrone in vitro. Characteristic apoptotic DNA laddering and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase were observed after combined treatment with AS ODN#2 plus paclitaxel or mitoxantrone but not with either agent alone. In vivo administration of AS ODN#2 plus either paclitaxel or mitoxantrone significantly decreased PC-3 tumor volume by 80 or 60%, respectively, compared with mismatch control ODN plus either paclitaxel or mitoxantrone. In addition, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling staining revealed increased apoptotic cells in tumors treated with AS ODN#2 plus paclitaxel or mitoxantrone. These findings confirm that TRPM-2 overexpression confers resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy in prostate cancer cells and illustrates the potential utility of combined treatment with AS TRPM-2 ODN plus chemotherapeutic agents for patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer. 相似文献

The chemotherapeutic activity of thymidine (dThd) was tested against four human tumor xenografts growing in nude mice, including a melanoma, an oat cell carcinoma of the lung, a colon carcinoma, and a breast carcinoma. Tumor-bearing mice were given an infusion of dThd (1 g/kg/day) s.c. for 72 hr each week for three weeks. Tumor growth in the treated mice was compared to that in randomized concurrent control mice infused with media alone. A significant effect was found only for the melanoma, and it was cytostatic rather than cytotoxic. Even when melanomas of very small initial volume were treated, there were no complete regressions, and tumor growth resumed when dThd treatment was stopped. In culture, sustained dThd concentrations of greater than 3.2 mM were required to cause death of the melanoma cells; in the mice the dThd level during infusion ranged from 1 to 5 mM. This exposure to dThd, although failing to produce a tumor response, did produce significant toxicity in the nude mice in the form of myelosuppression and leukopenia. Flow cytometric analysis of marrow cells during the dThd infusion showed an accumulation of cells in S phase, but proliferation was not completely halted since cells with G2-M content of DNA were present in the marrow even after 72 hr of dThd exposure. This study failed to demonstrate a therapeutically useful effect of dThd on these tumors. 相似文献

In human androgen-independent prostate cancer (PCa), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) regulates angiogenesis, tumor growth, and progression. In this study, we evaluated whether the blockade of EGFR by the anti-EGFR antibody ImClone C225 (IMC-C225) inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by inhibiting angiogenesis, and whether paclitaxel enhanced the results of therapy in androgen-independent PCa. PC-3M-LN4 PCa cells were implanted orthotopically in athymic nude mice and treated with i.p. IMC-C225 (1 mg twice a week) and/or paclitaxel (200 microg once a week). In vitro treatment of PC-3M-LN4 with IMC-C225 inhibited EGFR autophosphorylation without any significant antiproliferative effect. In contrast, in vivo therapy with IMC-C225 alone (P < 0.05) or in combination with paclitaxel (P < 0.005) significantly inhibited PCa growth and metastasis. Serum levels of interleukin (IL) 8 were lower after therapy, and IL-8 mRNA expression was down-regulated within the tumors after therapy. The down-regulation of IL-8 correlated with reduced microvessel density. IMC-C225 reduced tumor cell proliferation, enhanced p27(kip1) expression, and induced tumor and endothelial cell apoptosis. These studies indicate that IMC-C225 has significant antitumor effect in this murine model, mediated in part by inhibition of cellular proliferation and angiogenesis, and by enhancement of apoptosis. The simultaneous administration of paclitaxel enhanced this effect. 相似文献

HO-221, a derivative of benzoylphenylurea, is a newly developed anticancer drug which was found to show an excellent antitumor effect against transplantable murine tumors by the novel mechanism of action. This study was designed to evaluate the antitumor effect of HO-221 and to establish the optimum regimen, using seven human gastrointestinal and breast cancers xenografted in nude mice. Better antitumor effect of HO-221 by oral administration was observed when it was suspended in larger volume of the vehicle. Moreover, the effect increased by the multiple intermittent administration compared to the single treatment. Best antitumor effect was observed by oral administration of 75 mg/kg (0.1 ml/10 g mouse body weight) repeated twice weekly for a total of eight times or 300 mg/kg (0.2 ml/10 g mouse body weight) repeated once weekly for a total of four times. The antitumor effects of these two regimens were approximately equal except against H-31, the former regimen being more effective. When the tumor growth inhibition rate (IR) over 58% was rated as "effective", the above two regimens were equally effective against 4 of 7 cancers, H-111, H-154, H-143 and H-31. While HO-221 was not effective to a gastric cancer line, H-81, which was most susceptible to the variety of existing anticancer agents, but effective to another gastric cancer line, H-111, which was relatively resistant to conventional cytocidal agents. From the aspect of chemosensitivity spectrum, this drug revealed a rather different pattern compared to other antimetabolites. Although oral administration volume is limited in small animal model, enhancing its antitumor effect may be possible in clinical application by contriving the method of administration. HO-221 is, thus, considered to be a promising drug for further study. 相似文献
