ObjectiveTo establish a mouse model of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.MethodsThirty-six male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group (n=6) and experimental group (n=30). Each of the animals in the experimental group received 7 intraperitoneal injections of caerulein (50 μg/kg body weight) in 0.9% NaCl at hourly intervals over 6 hours. The animals in the experimental group were killed at 9,18,24,48 and 72 hours respectively after the first caerulein injection. The control animals received the same volume of 0.9% NaCl without caerulein. The animals in the control group were killed at the 18th hour after the first intraperitoneal injection. The severity of acute necrotizing pancreatitis was evaluated in terms of amylase level, pancreatic weight/body weight and the histological changes. Variance analysis was employed in the processing of these data. ResultsBoth amylase level and pancreatic weight elevated 9 hours after the first caerulein injection, and correlated with the course of pancreatitis. The maximums of both alterations were observed at the same time point (18 hours after the first injection of caerulein). Prominent interstitial inflammation and acinar cell necrosis occurred at the 18th hour, and the histological score for pancreatitis reached a maximum (P<0.05). Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of a large dosage of caerulein can induce acute necrotizing pancreatitis in ICR mice. This method is simple and noninvasive, and the model established thus is stable and reproducible.
ObjectiveTo establish an animal model of anaplastic thyroid cancer with high metastatic activity as in human body. MethodsHuman anaplastic thyroid cancer cell line TAK was injected into one of the lateral lobes of the thyroid gland, as well as in the subcuitis in a series of nude mice. Mice were sacrificed when found moribund, and autopsy and histology were performed subsequently.ResultsThe implantation of human anaplastic thyroid cancer cells in an ectopic enviroment did not permit expression of metastasis potential. In contrast, intrathyroid implantation did. Lymph node (5/10), lung (3/10) and one metastasis (1/10) were noted upon histological examination. ConclusionAn animal model with high metastatic activity is established when human anaplastic thyroid cancer cell line TAK is implanted orthotopically into nude mice.
In this study, the role of newcastle disease virus (NDV) combined thermic solidified tumor vaccine in inhibiting growth of tumor and immune control was investigated, and rate of inhibiting tumor and cellular immunity were measured. The results showed that rate of inhibiting tumor in experimental group Ⅰ and Ⅱ were 24.8% and 41.1% respectively; average weight of tumor was significantly lower in both experimental groups than in control group, and activity of natural killing (NK) cells in experimental groups was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). This suggests that NDV combined thermic solidified tumor vaccine can inhibit growth of tumor and improve activity of NK cells, and their effects are better than that of NDV.
On the basis of established JF305 cell line from human pancreatic cancer at this university, cell clone technique, cell electrophoresis, flower cytometer, and cancer orthotopically implanted nude mice technique were used to establish the sublines with different metastatic potential from human pancreatic cancer line-JF305 and the nude mice model implanted orthotopically with human pancreatic cancer monoclonal sublines with different metastatic potential. The results showed that the monoclonal cell sublines with different metastatic potential from human pancreatic caner-JF305 and the nude mice model implanted orthotopically with the sublines, would provided a useful method to study the metastatic mechanism of human pancreatic cancer.
In order to raise the efficiency of chemotherapy on malignant tumor,we treated transplanted hepatocarcinomabearing mice with Ge132(organic germanium).The results were∶① in the group of highdosage Ge132,the carcinostatic rate was 310%,+++ white blood cell(WBC)infiltration found in transplanted tumor was 727%,and the serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity rate was 121 Nu/ml; ② in the control group with normal saline solution (NS),+++ WBC infiltration found in tumor was 36.4%, the serum SOD activity rate was 81 Nu/ml,and there was significant difference (P<0.05) between the two groups;③ in group of cyclophosphamide administration,the carcinostatic rate was 37.0%,+++ WBC infiltration found in the tumor was 27.3%,and the serum SOD activity rate was 102 Nu/ml;and ④ highdosage Ge132 in combination with cyclophosphamide,showed a carcinostatic rate of 45.0%,+++ WBC infiltration found in tumor was 54.5%,the serum SOD activity was 142 Nu/ml.In comparison between group 2 and 5,there were significant differance (P<0.05) in both tissue WBC infiltration and SOD activity.These results suggest that highdosage Ge132 treatment can enhance the cell mediated immunity and activity of serum SOD of transplanted hepatocarcinomabearing mice with certain anticarcinoma effect.
Objective To investigate the gene expression of beta-defensin-4 (mBD-4) and mBD-6 in acute lung injury (ALI) mouse.Methods Sixty adult mice were randomly divided into a control group and a ALI group.ALI was induced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the ALI group.The control group was treated with same dose of normal saline.The lung tissues were harvested at different time point after stimulation.The expression of mBD-4 and mBD-6 mRNA was measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.DNA sequencing was used to confirm the specificity of mBD-4 and mBD-6 cDNA fragment.Results There were no obvious mBD-4 and mBD-6 mRNA expression in mouse lung in the control group at all time points and ALI 6 h group.In the ALI group a marked increasing expression was found on 12 h,1 d and 3 d after LPS stimulation.The mBD-4 mRNA expression was significant higher in the ALI groups of 1 d and 3 d points than that of ALI 12 h group with no obvious difference between each other.There were no significant differences of mBD-6 mRNA expression between ALI groups of 12 h,1 d and 3 d points Conclusion mBD-4 and mBD-6 mRNA is not constitutive expressed in mouse lung and show a up-regulative expression pattern after ALI.
Objective To observe the expression of adenovirus vector coding for mouse endostatin gene(Ad-mES) in lung cancer cells and its antiangiogenic activity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(ECV304) in vitro.Methods Lewis lung cancer(LLC) cells were transfected with Ad-mES at different multiplicity of infection(MOI).The expression of mES in LLC cells and supernatant after 48 hours was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot respectively.The inhibitory effect of supernatant at different MOI on ECV304 non-stamulated and stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay.Results After transfected for 48 hours,endostatin was identified in the cell plasma of infected LLC and negative result was founded in non-infected LLC.Western blot revealed band of endostatin in 20 kDa in culture supernatant of infected LLC and negative results in non-infected LLC.The inhibitory effects on ECV304 cell proliferation were ber at higher MOI,and the difference was significant between stimulated and non-stamulated cells by bFGF(Plt;0.05).Conclusion Ad-mES can transfect and express endostatin effectively in LLC with biological activity
Objective To explore whether epithelial to mesenchymal transition ( EMT) occurs in bleomycin( BLM) induced pulmonary fibrosis, and the involvement of bronchial epithelial cells( BECs) in the EMT. Methods BLM-induced peribronchial fibrosis in an α-smooth muscle actin-Cre transgenic mouse( α-SMACre /R26R) was examined by pulmonary βgal staining and α-SMA immunofluorescence staining. Results BLMtreated mice showed significantly enhanced βgal staining in subepithelial areas in bronchi, terminal bronchioles and walls of pulmonary vessels. Some alveolar epithelial cells( AECs) in certain peribronchial areas or even a small subset of BECs were also positively stained, as confirmed by α-SMA immunostaining. Conclusions EMT occurs in BLM-induced peribronchial fibrosis mice. BECs, like AECs, have the capacity to undergo EMT and to contribute to mesenchymal expansion in pulmonary fibrosis.
