Purpose
PNAS-4, a novel pro-apoptotic gene activated during the early response to DNA damage, can inhibit proliferation via apoptosis when overexpressed in some tumor cells. The objectives of this study were to determine whether PNAS-4 could enhance apoptosis induced by cisplatin besides its induction of apoptosis, and to evaluate the usefulness of combined treatment with mouse PNAS-4 (mPNAS-4) gene therapy and low-dose cisplatin chemotherapy in the inhibition of tumor growth in colon carcinoma (CT26) and Lewis lung carcinoma (LL/2) murine models.Methods
In this study, the in vitro growth-inhibitory and pro-apoptotic effects of PNAS-4 and/or cisplatin on CT26, LL/2, and SKOV3 cancer cells were assessed by MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis, DNA fragmentation, and morphological analysis, respectively. The in vivo antitumor activity of combined treatment with mPNAS-4 gene therapy and low-dose cisplatin were evaluated in the inhibition of tumor growth in colon carcinoma (CT26) and Lewis lung carcinoma (LL/2) murine models. Tumor volume and survival time were observed. Induction of apoptosis was also assessed in tumor tissues.Results
In vitro, PNAS-4 inhibited proliferation of colon carcinoma (CT26), Lewis lung carcinoma (LL/2) and human ovarian cancer (SKOV3) cell lines via apoptosis, and significantly enhanced the apoptosis of CT26, LL/2, and SKOV3 cells induced by cisplatin. In vivo systemic administration of expression plasmid encoding mPNAS-4 (pcDNA3.1-mPS) and cisplatin, significantly decreased tumor growth through increased tumor cell apoptosis compared to treatment with mPNAS-4 or cisplatin alone.Conclusions
Our data suggests that the combined treatment with mPNAS-4 plus cisplatin may augment the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and that the augmented antitumor activity in vivo may result from the increased induction of apoptosis. The present study may provide a novel way to augment the antitumor efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy. 相似文献2.

The potent chemopreventive activity of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors has been demonstrated in a number of preclinical studies, but their potency in antitumor activity is still in dispute. In this report, we demonstrate the potent antitumor activity of a novel COX-2 inhibitor, CS-706 in mouse colorectal adenocarcinoma colon 26 tumor-bearing mice treated with or without antitumor chemotherapeutic agents. Daily oral administration of CS-706 at doses of 3-100 mg/kg from the day of tumor inoculation (Day 0) inhibited tumor growth dose-dependently, and the maximal inhibition was 67% at a dose of 100 mg/kg. In contrast, celecoxib, a well-known COX-2 inhibitor, did not inhibit tumor growth at doses up to 100 mg/kg. Furthermore, CS-706 at a dose of 1 mg/kg or above markedly prolonged the survival time of tumor-bearing mice. Administration of 30 mg/kg CS-706 from Day 7 combined with a single intravenous treatment of 10 mg/kg cisplatin on Day 7 completely regressed the tumors in all tumor-bearing mice examined, whereas only in 1 of 10 mice tumor was regressed with cisplatin treatment. Similar combination effects were observed with 10 mg/kg CS-706 and 60 mg/kg 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Moreover, 10 mg/kg CS-706 significantly inhibited angiogenesis induced by implanted chambers with colon 26 cells in a dorsal air sac assay in mice. Collectively, these results suggest that CS-706 is a potent antitumor agent, especially in combination with conventional chemotherapeutic agents, and that the anti-angiogenic activity of CS-706 may contribute at least in part to its marked antitumor activity. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Quercetin is a potent chemotherapeutic drug. Clinical trials exploring different schedules of administration of quercetin have been hampered by its extreme water insolubility. To overcome this limitation, this study is aimed to develop liposomal quercetin and investigate its distribution in vivo and antitumor efficacy in vivo and in vitro. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Quercetin was encapsulated in polyethylene glycol 4000 liposomes. Biodistribution of liposomal quercetin i.v. at 50 mg/kg in tumor-bearing mice was detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. Induction of apoptosis by liposomal quercetin in vitro was tested. The antitumor activity of liposomal quercetin was evaluated in the immunocompetent C57BL/6N mice bearing LL/2 Lewis lung cancer and in BALB/c mice bearing CT26 colon adenocarcinoma and H22 hepatoma. Tumor volume and survival time were observed. The mechanisms underlying the antitumor effect of quercetin in vivo was investigated by detecting the microvessel density, apoptosis, and heat shock protein 70 expression in tumor tissues. RESULTS: Liposomal quercetin could be dissolved in i.v. injection and effectively accumulate in tumor tissues. The half-time of liposomal quercetin was 2 hours in plasma. The liposomal quercetin induced apoptosis in vitro and significantly inhibited tumor growth in vivo in a dose-dependent manner. The optimal dose of liposomal quercetin resulted in a 40-day survival rate of 40%. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that liposomal quercetin down-regulated the expression of heat shock protein 70 in tumor tissues. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that liposomal quercetin inhibited tumor angiogenesis as assessed by CD31 and induced tumor cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicated that pegylated liposomal quercetin can significantly improve the solubility and bioavailability of quercetin and can be a potential application in the treatment of tumor. 相似文献

Honokiol, a novel antitumor agent, may induce apoptosis and inhibit the growth of vascular endothelium in a number of tumor cell lines and xenograft models. It has been proposed that the antitumor effects of chemotherapy may be increased in combination with an antiangiogenesis agent as an anticancer strategy. In the present study, we examined the potential of honokiol to increase the antitumor effect of cisplatin (DDP) when the agent and drug were combined in murine CT26 colon cancer models, and investigated the underlying mechanism. Liposomal honokiol (LH) was prepared, and female BALB/c?mice were administered LH at various doses to determine the optimum doses for honokial. Evaluation of cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. Honokiol was encapsulated with liposome to improve its water insolubility. In?vitro, LH inhibited the proliferation of CT26 cells via apoptosis and significantly enhanced the DPP-induced apoptosis of CT26 cells. In?vivo, the systemic administration of LH plus DDP resulted in the inhibition of subcutaneous tumor growth beyond the effects observed with either LH or DDP alone. This growth reduction was associated with elevated levels of apoptosis (TUNEL staining) and reduced endothelial cell density (CD31 staining) compared with either treatment alone. Collectively, these findings indicate that LH may augment the induction of apoptosis in CT26 cells in?vitro and in?vivo, and this combined treatment has exhibited synergistic suppression in tumor progression according to the synergistic analysis. The present study may be significant to future exploration of the potential application of the combined approach in the treatment of colon cancer. 相似文献

Unmasking immunosurveillance against a syngeneic colon cancer by elimination of CD4+ NKT regulatory cells and IL-13 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We have previously observed a novel role of natural killer T (NKT) cells in negative regulation of antitumor immune responses against an immunogenic regressor tumor expressing a transfected viral antigen. Here, we investigated whether hidden spontaneous antitumor immunosurveillance, in the absence of a vaccine, could be revealed by disruption of this negative regulatory pathway involving CD4+ NKT cells and interleukin-13 (IL-13), in a murine pulmonary metastasis model of a nontransfected, nonregressor, syngeneic tumor, the CT26 colon carcinoma. Lung metastases of CT26 were decreased in CD4+ T cell-depleted BALB/c mice, suggesting that CD4+ T cells were involved in negative regulation of antitumor responses. CD1-knock out (CD1-KO) mice, which have conventional CD4+ T cells and CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells but lack CD1-restricted CD4+ NKT cells, were significantly resistant to lung metastasis of CT26. The metastases were not further decreased in CD4+ T cell-depleted CD1-KO mice, implying that CD4+ NKT cells might be the primary negative regulator of antitumor immune responses in BALB/c mice. CD8+ T cells were found to act as effectors in antitumor immune responses, since the inhibition of lung metastases observed in naive CD1-KO or CD4+ T cell-depleted mice was abrogated by depletion of CD8+ T cells. Lung metastases were significantly decreased by treatment of mice with an IL-13 inhibitor, but not by deficiency or inhibition of IL-4. Thus, even for a nonregressor tumor, immunosurveillance exists but is negatively regulated via CD4+ NKT cells possibly mediated by IL-13, and can be unmasked by removal of these negative regulatory components. 相似文献

PNAS-4, a novel pro-apoptotic gene activated during the early response to DNA damage, can inhibit proliferation via apoptosis when overexpressed in some tumor cells. Recent studies have indicated that honokiol can induce apoptosis, inhibit angiogenesis, and suppress tumor growth. In the present study, we investigated whether mouse PNAS-4 (mPNAS-4) could augment the apoptosis of tumor cells induced by honokiol in vitro, and whether the antiangiogenic activity of honokiol and induction of apoptosis by mPNAS-4 could work cooperatively to improve the antitumor efficacy in vivo. In vitro , mPNAS-4 inhibited proliferation of murine colorectal carcinoma CT26 and Lewis lung carcinoma LL2 cells through induction of apoptosis, and significantly augmented the apoptosis of CT26 and LL2 cells induced by honokiol. Compared with treatment with mPNAS-4 or honokiol alone, in vivo systemic administration of an expression plasmid encoding mPNAS-4 and low-dose honokiol significantly suppressed tumor growth through the enhanced induction of apoptosis and the augmented inhibition of angiogenesis. Our data suggest that the combined treatment with mPNAS-4 plus honokiol augments antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo , and that the improved antitumor activity in vivo may be associated with enhanced induction of apoptosis and augmented inhibition of angiogenesis. The present study may provide a novel and effective method for the treatment of cancer. ( Cancer Sci 2009; 100: 1757–1766) 相似文献

The induction of a CTL response capable of eradicating disseminated tumor metastases and the establishment of a persistent tumor-protective immunity remain major goals of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that the combination of interleukin 2 (IL-2) targeted to the tumor microenvironment by a recombinant antibody-IL-2 fusion protein (huKS1/4-IL-2) with gene therapy by the murine chemokine MIG (CXCL9) markedly reduced s.c. tumor burden and decisively suppressed dissemination of experimental lung metastases of CT26-KSA colon carcinoma in syngeneic BALB/c mice. This combined therapy significantly prolonged the life span of these mice 3-4-fold by concurrently delivering MIG and IL-2 to the tumor site and thereby achieving chemoattraction of T cells together with their activation. The antitumor effect obtained was mediated predominantly by MHC class I antigen-restricted CD8(+) T cells with help from MHC class II antigen-restricted CD4(+) T lymphocytes. In addition, the MIG chemokine also induced angiostatic effects in the tumor vasculature. Taken together, this combination of MIG chemokine gene therapy with tumor-targeted cytokine IL-2 provides an approach for the rational design of novel cancer immunotherapy modalities. 相似文献

We examined the antitumor and antimetastatic actions of 10-hydroxy-anthrone-C-glucoside cassialoin isolated from Cassia garrettiana heartwood in colon 26-bearing mice. Cassialoin (5 and 10 mg/kg) inhibited tumor growth and metastasis to the abdomen and the expression of CD31 (angiogenesis marker) in the tumors, and it increased the numbers of the gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma)-positive, CD8(+) T and natural killer cells in the small intestine or spleen of colon 26-bearing mice. Furthermore, cassialoin inhibited tumor-induced angiogenesis in colon 26-packed chamber-bearing mice. We examined the metabolic activities in the blood, stomach and small intestine after p.o. administration of cassialoin to mice. These results suggest that cassialoin might be converted to chrysophanol through chrysophanol-9-anthrone and metabolized to aloe-emodin from chrysophanol. Chrysophanol-9-anthrone inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metallopeptidase-9 expression in colon 26 cells at 5 and 10 microM, and it inhibited VEGF-induced angiogenesis and migration in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) at 0.5-10 microM. Furthermore, chrysophanol-9-anthrone inhibited VEGF receptor (VEGFR)-2 expression and VEGF-induced VEGFR-2 phosphorylation. Aloe-emodin also inhibited the VEGF-induced angiogenesis by HUVEC at 1-100 microM. Cassialoin, chrysophanol-9-anthrone and aloe-emodin enhanced concanavalin A-induced IFN-gamma production in splenocytes of colon 26-bearing mice at a low concentration of 0.1 microM. From these results, it is suggested that the antitumor and antimetastatic actions of p.o. administered cassialoin may be partly due to cassialoin and its metabolites such as chrysophanol-9-anthrone and aloe-emodin through their anti-angiogenic activities and/or the modulation of the immune systems in the spleen and small intestine in tumor-bearing mice. 相似文献

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) programmed death (PD)-1/PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade has been approved for various cancers. However, the underlying antitumor mechanisms mediated by ICIs and the predictive biomarkers remain unclear. We report the effects of anti-PD-L1/PD-1 Ab in tumor angiogenesis. In syngeneic mouse models, anti-PD-L1 Ab inhibited tumor angiogenesis and induces net-like hypoxia only in ICI-sensitive cell lines. In tumor tissue and serum of ICI-sensitive cell line-bearing mice, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) inducible angiostatic chemokines CXCL10/11 were upregulated by PD-L1 blockade. In vitro, CXCL10/11 gene upregulation by IFN-γ stimulation in tumor cell lines correlated with the sensitivity of PD-L1 blockade. The CXCL10/11 receptor CXCR3-neutralizing Ab or CXCL11 silencing in tumor cells inhibited the antiangiogenic effect of PD-L1 blockade in vivo. In pretreatment serum of lung carcinoma patients receiving anti-PD-1 Ab, the concentration of CXCL10/11 significantly correlated with the clinical outcome. Our results indicate the antiangiogenic function of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade and identify tumor-derived CXCL10/11 as a potential circulating biomarker of therapeutic sensitivity. 相似文献

Curcumin previously was proven to inhibit angiogenesis and display potent antitumor activity in vivo andin vitro. In the present study, we investigated whether a combination curcumin with hyperthermia would havea synergistic antitumor effect in the LL/2 model. The results indicated that combination therapy significantlyinhibited cell proliferation of MS-1 and LL/2 in vitro. LL/2 experiment model also demonstrated that thecombination therapy inhibited tumor growth and prolonged the life span in vivo. Furthermore, combinationtherapy reduced angiogenesis and increased tumor apoptosis. Our findings suggest that the combination therapyexerted synergistic antitumor effects, providing a new perspective fpr clinical tumor therapy. 相似文献

Purpose: The pharmacokinetics (PK), biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin encapsulated in long-circulating pegylated (Stealth®) liposomes (SPI-077) were compared with those of nonliposomal cisplatin in two murine (C26 colon carcinoma and Lewis lung) tumor models. Methods: In therapeutic effectiveness studies, mice bearing murine C26 or Lewis lung tumors received multiple intravenous doses of SPI-077 or cisplatin in a variety of treatment schedules and cumulative doses. In the PK and biodistribution study, mice received a single intravenous bolus injection of 3 mg/kg of either SPI-077 or cisplatin 14 days after inoculation with 106 C26 tumor cells. Plasma and tissues were analyzed for total platinum (Pt) content by graphite furnace (flameless) atomic absorption spectrophotometery (GF-AAS). Results: Efficacy studies showed that SPI-077 had superior antitumor activity compared to the same cumulative dose of cisplatin. When lower doses of SPI-077 were compared to cisplatin at its maximally tolerated dose in Lewis lung tumors, equivalent SPI-077 antitumor activity was seen at only half the cisplatin dose. Higher cumulative doses of SPI-077 were well tolerated and had increased antitumor effect. SPI-077 PK were characterized by a one-compartment model with nonlinear (saturable) elimination, whereas cisplatin PK were described by a two-compartment model with linear elimination. SPI-077 had a 55-fold higher volume of distribution, 3-fold higher peak plasma levels, and a 60-fold larger plasma AUC compared with cisplatin. In addition, SPI-077-treated animals displayed a 4-fold reduction in Pt delivered to the kidneys (primary target organ of toxicity) relative to cisplatin, but a 28-fold higher tumor AUC than cisplatin. Conclusions: Based on the results of our studies, encapsulation of cisplatin in long-circulating pegylated liposomes has overcome limitations experienced with other liposomal cisplatin formulations. SPI-077 has a prolonged circulation time and increased tumor Pt disposition, and its antitumor effect is significantly improved compared to cisplatin in murine colon and lung cancer models. 相似文献

An HGF antagonist, NK4, inhibits not only invasion and metastasis of tumor cells driven by HGF-Met receptor binding, but also tumor angiogenesis. To address the antitumor activities of NK4, we investigated the biological behaviors of CT26 transfected with the NK4 gene (CT26-NK4) in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro assay, the invasion in MOCK transfected cells (control) was stimulated by HGF; however, in CT26-NK4 cells, these effects were completely inhibited. In the in vivo assay, the tumor growth of CT26-NK4 was strongly suppressed and the survival of CT26-NK4 tumor-bearing mice was significantly prolonged. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that while proliferating cells (PCNA immunostaining) of CT26-NK4 tumors were weakly suppressed, the micro-vessel number (CD31/PECAM-1 immunostaining) in those tumors was significantly suppressed as compared with the control tumors. In conclusion, NK4 exerts potent antitumor effects via anti-angiogenesis rather than inhibition of biological events of tumor cells stimulated by HGF. 相似文献

The compound 317615 x 2HCl, a selective protein kinase Cbeta inhibitor, was not very cytotoxic toward human CaKi1 renal cell carcinoma cells or human HT-29 colon carcinoma cells in monolayer culture. Isobologram analysis was used to determine additivity or synergy of the combination regimens. Exposure of CaKi1 cells to 317615 x 2HCl (10 or 100 mM) along with gemcitabine or 5-fluorouracil for 24 hours resulted in cytotoxicity that appeared to be less-than-additive to additive for the two agents. Exposure of HT-29 cells to gemcitabine along with 317615 x 2HCl (10 mM or 100 mM) resulted in a synergistic cytotoxicity while combinations with 5-fluorouracil resulted in additive to greater-than-additive cytotoxicity for the agents. After treatment of CaKi1 or HT-29 xenograft-bearing mice with 317615 x 2HCl, immunohistochemical staining for expression of endothelial specific markers, either CD31 or CD105, was used to quantify the number of intratumoral vessels in the samples. CaKi1 tumor angiogenesis was very responsive to treatment with 317615 x 2HCl such that the number of intratumoral vessels stained by CD31 or CD105 was decreased to 20% of the control. The HT-29 colon carcinoma angiogenesis was also responsive to 317615 x 2HCl, such that the number of intratumoral vessels stained by CD31 or CD105 was decreased to 40% to 50% of the controL 5-fluorouracil, cisplatin or fractionated radiation therapy was combined with treatment with 317615 x 2HCl in the simultaneous combination treatment regimen in animals bearing HT-29 colon carcinoma xenografts. The resulting tumor growth delays indicated that administration of 317615 x 2HCl increased the effects of the cytotoxic therapy. Both a simultaneous or an overlapping treatment regimen and a sequential treatment regimen were used to assess 317615 x 2HCl alone and along with fractionated radiation therapy or gemcitabine against the human CaKi1 renal cell carcinoma xenograft. The CaKi1 tumor was quite sensitive to fractionated radiation therapy and to gemcitabine and, although 317615 x 2HCl was an effective single agent in this tumor, the combination regimens did not reach additivity for the combination regimens in vivo. 317615 x 2HCl is in early clinical testing. 相似文献

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers. Survivin is strongly immunogenic in a fraction of colorectal cancer patients. The present study was designed to determine whether full-length mouse Survivin dominant-negative mutant SurvivinT34A has the antitumor activity in a murine colon carcinoma model. The complex of cationic liposome (DOTAP/Chol) to plasmid pORF9—mSurvivin T34A was administered intravenously in a mouse subcutaneous (S. C.) CT 26 tumor model. Apoptotic cells and anti-angiogenesis were evaluated by fluorescent in situ TUNEL assay and by immunohistochemistry with an antibody reactive to CD31, respectively. A 4 h 51Cr release assay was performed to determine Survivin-specific cytotoxicity. The adoptive transfer of CD8+ or CD4+ T-lymphocytes assay was to further explore the roles of immune cell subsets. We demonstrated the complex of cationic liposome (DOTAP/Chol) to plasmid pORF9—mSurvivin T34A when administered intravenously induced an efficient antitumor activity in a S. C. CT26 tumor model in mice. The main mechanism is involved in three aspects: triggering the apoptosis of tumor cells, inhibiting angiogenesis, and inducing Survivin-specific immune response. Our observations may have potential implications for the further exploration of the treatment of human colorectal cancer by intravenous delivery of dominant-negative mutant Survivin T34A. 相似文献

AC-7700, a novel combretastatin A-4 derivative, suppresses the growth of solid tumors by inhibiting tumor perfusion. We evaluated the antitumor activity of AC-7700 on solid tumors in two experimental models, an advanced tumor model (murine colon 26 (c26) adenocarcinoma, colon 38 (c38) adenocarcinoma, MethA fibrosarcoma, Sarcoma 180 (S180), Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL), human LS180 adenocarcinoma) and an orthotopically transplanted tumor model (c26), compared with that of cisplatin (CDDP). The maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of CDDP suppressed early-stage c26 and c38 tumor growth when treatment was started after the tumor volume (TV) reached 0.2–0.5 cm3 , but it showed reduced activity against the same tumors at an advanced growth stage when TV exceeded 2 cm3 . At its MTD, AC-7700 was active against all tumors tested except 3LL in both early and advanced growth stages, reducing the tumor mass and having a curative effect in advanced c38 tumors. AC-7700 was also effective on orthotopically transplanted c26 tumors, showing a comparable activity to that on subcutaneous tumors. Unlike flavon acetic acid, which damages tumor vasculature by inducing endogenous tumor necrosis factor-α production, AC-7700 potently suppressed the growth of advanced c26 tumors in athymic as well as euthymic mice. These results suggest that AC-7700 is a novel antivascular agent that may have potent activity against advanced-stage cancer in the clinical setting. 相似文献

Squalamine is a novel anti-angiogenic aminosterol that is postulated to inhibit neovascularization by selectively inhibiting the sodium-hydrogen antiporter exchanger. To determine how to most effectively use this agent in patients with cancer, we examined the antitumor effects of squalamine with or without cytotoxic agents in human lung cancer xenografts and correlated these observations with the degree of tumor neovascularization. No direct cytotoxic effects of squalamine against tumor cells were observed in vitro with or without cisplatin. Squalamine was effective in inhibiting the establishment of H460 human tumors in BALBc nude mice but was ineffective in inhibiting the growth of H460, CALU-6, or NL20T-A human tumor xenografts when administered i.p. to mice bearing established tumors. However, when combined with cisplatin or carboplatin, squalamine increased tumor growth delay by > or =1.5-fold in the three human lung carcinoma cell lines compared with cisplatin or carboplatin alone. No enhancement of antitumor activity was observed when squalamine was combined with paclitaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, or docetaxel. Repeated cycles of squalamine plus cisplatin administration delayed H460 tumor growth >8.6-fold. Squalamine plus cisplatin reduced CD31 vessel formation by 25% compared with controls, squalamine alone, or cisplatin alone; however, no inhibition in CD31 vessel formation was observed when squalamine was combined with vinorelbine. These data demonstrate that the combination of squalamine and a platinum analog has significant preclinical antitumor activity against human lung cancer that is related to the anti-angiogenic effects of squalamine. 相似文献

Background: Psychiatric patients appear to be at lower risk of cancer. Some antipsychotic drugs might haveinhibitory effects on tumor growth, including penfluridol, a strong agent. To test this, we conducted a studyto determine whether penfluridol exerts cytotoxic effects on tumor cells and, if so, to explore its anti-tumormechanisms. Methods: Growth inhibition of mouse cancer cell lines by penfluridol was determined using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cytotoxic activity was determined byclonogenic cell survival and trypan blue assays. Animal tumor models of these cancer cells were established andto evaluate penfluridol for its anti-tumor efficacy in vivo. Unesterified cholesterol in cancer cells was examined byfilipin staining. Serum total cholesterol and tumor total cholesterol were detected using the cholesterol oxidase/paminophenazone(CHOD-PAP) method. Results: Penfluridol inhibited the proliferation of B16 melanoma (B16/F10), LL/2 lung carcinoma (LL/2), CT26 colon carcinoma (CT26) and 4T1 breast cancer (4T1) cells in vitro. Invivo penfluridol was particularly effective at inhibiting LL/2 lung tumor growth, and obviously prolonged thesurvival time of mice bearing LL/2 lung tumors implanted subcutaneously. Accumulated unesterified cholesterolwas found in all of the cancer cells treated with penfluridol, and this effect was most evident in LL/2, 4T1 andCT26 cells. No significant difference in serum cholesterol levels was found between the normal saline-treatedmice and the penfluridol-treated mice. However, a dose-dependent decrease of total cholesterol in tumor tissueswas observed in penfluridol-treated mice, which was most evident in B16/F10-, LL/2-, and 4T1-tumor-bearingmice. Conclusion: Our results suggested that penfluridol is not only cytotoxic to cancer cells in vitro but canalso inhibit tumor growth in vivo. Dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis by penfluridol may be involved inits anti-tumor mechanisms. 相似文献
