  • EFFECTS OF SOMATOSTATIN ON HUMAN SW480 COLONIC CANCER CELL LINE IN VITRO

    Human SW480 colonic cancer cell line was evaluated for its growth response to Octa peptide somatostatin (SMS 201·995, SMS) in vitro by MTT assay and flow cytometry. The results showed that SMS possessed an inhibitive effect on SW480 cell at dose 1.563-200ng/ml, the maximal effective dose was 50ng/ml. Inhibitive effect of SMS did not steadily increase at a dose >50ng/ml. It suggests that effect of SMS is achieved via somatotatin receptor. SMS obviously inhibited the synthesis of DNA and protein, and prohibited the SW480 cell shifting from phase G0/G1 in phase S, G2M, which suggests that somatostatin (SS) possessed an inhibitive effect on large intestinal at cancer cell, it is achieved at receptor by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and protein and prohibiting cell cycle of cancer.

  • THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MEASUREMENT OF SOMATOSTATIN LEVELS IN SERUM AND CANCER TISSUE OF PATIENTS WITH LARGE INTESTINE CARCINOMA

    The somatostatin levels in serum, cancer tissue and its adjacent mucosas were measured in 43 patients with large intestine carcinoma(LIC). The results showed that the somatostatin level in serum of patients with LIC before operation was obviously lower than that in the control group (Plt;0.001)and after radical operation, it was markedly higher than the preoperative levels(Plt;0.01), but still lower than the control value(Plt;0.001). The somatostatin level in cancer tissue was evidently lower than that in its adjacent mucosas(Plt;0.001)and in normal mucosa(Plt;0.001). There was no significant correlation between the somatostatin level in serum or carcinoma tissue and Duke’s stage or pathological types of the carcinoma tissue. The results indicate that the somatostatin has a negative modulating effect on the growth of large intestine carcinomas, thus provides an experimental basis for the treatment of large treatment of large intestine carcinomas with drugs such as somatostatin.

  • Relationships Between Expressions of Somatostatin Receptor Subtypes and Angiogenesis in Colorectal Cancer

    Objective To study the relationships between expressions of somatostatin receptor subtypes(SSTR1-SSTR5) and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer. Methods The expressions of SSTR1-SSTR5, VEGF, and CD34 in the paraffin sections of colorectal cancer tissues from 127 cases were detected by the standard streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) technique. CD34 was used as a marker to account microvessel density (MVD) in colorectal cancer tissues. The relationships between the expressions of SSTR1-SSTR5 and VEGF expression, or MVD were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of SSTR1, SSTR2, SSTR3, SSTR4, and SSTR5 was 64.6% (82/127), 36.2% (46/127), 18.9% (24/127), 18.9% (24/127), and 38.6% (49/127) in colorectal cancer tissues, meanwhile, the positive expression rate of VEGF was 63.8% (81/127) and MVD was (34.67±16.62)/HP in colorectal cancer tissues. The positive expression rate of VEGF (47.8%, 22/46) and MVD 〔(29.00±15.32)/HP〕 in colorectal cancer tissues with SSTR2 positive expression were significantly lower than those in colorectal cancer tissues with SSTR2 negative expression 〔72.8%, 59/81; (37.90±16.56)/HP〕, Plt;0.05. There were no relationships between SSTR1, SSTR3, SSTR4, and SSTR5 expression and VEGF expression or MVD (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The positive expression of SSTR2 is related with angiogenesis in colorectal cancer tissues.

  • GASTROINTESTINAL HORMONES IN GUINEA PIG BILE AND ITS CHANGES DURING GALLSTONE FORMATION

    To investigate the origin and releasing relation of motilin (MTL), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and somatostatin (SS) in guinea pig bile as well as its effects during gallstone formation. Guinea pig were divided into three groups: control group (50 animals), on normal diet; lithogenic group (70 animals), fed with lowprotein low fat; and recovering group (50 animals), fed with lowprotein low fat and recovering normal food after the experiment of gallstone formation. MTL, VIP and SS in the bile gallbladder tissue and portal vein plasma of the normal control group were measured with radioimmunoassay. Meanwhile the changes of the gut peptides in the bile and the bile components from different groups were also compared. Results: In control group the levels of MTL, VIP and SS in the bile were higher than those in the plasma, but, obviously lower than those in the tissues, the concentration relationship between in the bile and in the tissue was a positive correlation. In contrast to the control group, MTL concentration decreased but VIP and SS increased in the bile of the lithogenic group, the physicochemical nature of the bile also became lithogenic. In the recovering group the bile also became lithogenic, but, the concentration of those peptides and the nature of the bile all got normal. Conclusion: MTL, VIP and SS in guinea pig bile originate mainly form the gallbladder wall tissues. Food components affect the levels of the gut peptides in bile, which promote the bile lithogenic changes and gallstone formation.

  • The Effects of Somatostatin Analogue on Proliferation and Apoptosis of Human Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Line

    Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of somatostatin analogue (SMS201995,SMS) on proliferation and apoptosis in human cholangiocarcinoma cell line in vitro. MethodsProliferation curve, flow cytometry, agarose gel electrophoresis, Annexin VFITC and flow cytometric immunofluorescent technique were performed to identify the inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and the induction of apoptosis of human cholangiocarcinoma cells (SKChA1). ResultsSMS significantly reduced the SKChA1 cell growth by serum in long experiments and transiently accumulated it in G0/G1 phase. Dotplot analysis of cells duallabeled with Annexin VFITC and PI confirmed the induction of apoptosis by SMS in SKChA1 cells.AnnexinVFITC labeling was markedly enhanced following treatment with SMS for 24 h. DNA of treated SKChA1 cells appeared a ladder pattern characteristic of apoptosis. Besides, timedependent increase in bax and decrease in bcl2 occured during SMS treatment. Conclusion SMS could inhibit the proliferation activity and induce apoptosis of cholangiocarcinoma cell line SKChA1. The mechanisms of apoptosis might be correlated with the expression of apoptosisregulatory gene bax and bcl2.

  • Effectiveness of Somatostatin Analogs versus Placebo for Graves’ Ophthalmopathy: A Meta-Analysis

    Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of somatostatin analogs versus placebo for Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO). Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, CNKI, VIP and CBM were searched to collect the randomized controlled trails (RCTs) about somatostatin analogs for Graves’ Ophthalmopathy (GO) pulished by March 2012, while the bibliographies of the included literatue were also retrieved. According to the inclusion criteria, two reviewers screened literature, extracted data and assessed the quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 5 RCTs involving 210 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that somatostatin analogs could reduce the clinical activity score (CAS) of GO patients (MD=0.58, 95%CI 0.02 to1.13, P=0.04), but the effects in reducing the degree of proptosis (mm) was still unverifiable (MD=0.21, 95%CI –0.14 to 0.56, P=0.24). It did not show obvious effects for diplopia, orbital volume, intraocular pressure, visual acuity or the restriction of eye movements. The existing evidence could not confirm that somatostatin analogs were effective for GO (OR=1.32, 95%CI 0.45 to 3.9, P=0.61). Conclusion Somatostatin analogs can reduce the CAS of GO patients, but without significantly clinical significance. Moreover, the effect of reducing proptosis is sitll unverifiable. So the existing evidence cannot confirm that somatostatin analogs are effective for GO. For the quality and quantity limitation of the included studies, this conclusion needs to be proved by performing more high quality RCTs.

  • Octreotide Inhibits the Growth of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through Down-Regulation of cMet

    【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects and the mechanisms of octreotide (OCT) on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsBel7402 HCC cells were studied for proliferative ability by MTT assay, morphology by light microscopy, adhesive and invasive ability by cell adhesion and “wound strack” experiments. Immunofluorescence flow cytometry was used for study of cMet expression and cell cycle as well. Furthermore, the effects of OCT on tumor growth metastasis were investigated in nude mice with implanted HCC. The expression of cMet in implanted tumor cells was studied by immunohistochemistry. ResultsWith OCT treatment, the proliferative ability of Bel7402 cells and cell morphology didn’t change. The adhesive and invasive ability decreased compared with no OCT treatment cells (P<0.05). The ratio of G0/G1 cells increased markedly (P<0.05). The proportion of Bel7402 cells expressing cMet was reduced significantly (P<0.05). The growth of implanted tumor was inhibited with OCT treatment (P<0.05). The intensity of cMet expression in OCT group was remarkably weaker than that in control group. In addition, no recurrence and metastasis was found in OCT group 7 weeks after curative resection of xenografts, while 3 cases in controd group were observed to have the recurrence and metastasis. The intensity of cMet immunolabeling in the metastatic tumors was higher than that in xenografts of control group, but the difference was not significant. ConclusionOCT inhibits the growth of HCC by downregulation of cMet.

  • Expression of Somatostatin Receptor Ⅱ mRNA in Colorectal Cancer

    ObjectiveTo detect the expression of somatostatin receptor Ⅱ(SSTR2) mRNA in the specimens of colorectal cancer patients and discuss the relationship between the expression and characteristics of the tumor.MethodsAll tissue samples of 36 cases, including normal colonic mucosa (10 cm beyond the tumor), mucosa adjacent to the tumor (within 2 cm of the tumor), tumor, and mesenteric lymph node, were collected immediately after surgical resection. The SSTR2 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR in 135 samples of the 36 cases. The SSTR2 mRNA expression rate in different samples was compared.ResultsThe SSTR2 mRNA expression rate of normal colonic mucosa, mucosa adjacent to tumor, tumor, mesenteric node without metastasis, and mesenteric node with metastasis was 67.6%(23/34), 75.0%(24/32),91.4%(32/35),93.8%(15/16) and 81.8%(9/11) respectively. Expression rate of tumor significantly increased compared with normal colonic mucosa (χ2=6.37, P<0.05). The expression rate of the tumor in different groups, such as patients of different sex, serum CEA level, tumor size, location, histological grade and pathological stage, showed no difference (P>0.05).ConclusionThe expression rate of SSTR2 mRNA of colorectal adenocarcinoma increases. The expression rate does not correlate with the histological grade and pathological stage of the tumor.

  • Effects of Octreotide and NC-8-12 on the Proliferation of Human Colonic Carcinoma Cell Line HCT116 in vitro and in vivo

    【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects of somatostatin analogue (SSTA) on the colonic carcinoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo and its possible mechanism. MethodsThe somatostatin receptor type Ⅱ (SSTR2) mRNA of colonic carcinoma cell line HCT116 was detected by using RTPCR and hybridization in situ. The effects of octreotide (Oct) or NC-8-12 (specific agonist of SSTR2 ) on the proliferation of HCT116 was measured with MTT after HCT116 stimulated by insulin or epidermal growth factor (EGF) and incubated with Oct or NC-8-12 simultaneously for 24 hours. The expression of cyclin D1 was detected with flow cytometry. The HCT116 were implanted in nude mice subcutaneously and treated with Oct or NC-8-12. The tumor volume and tumor weight were measured according to schedule. Results①SSTR2 mRNA was detected in HCT116 and the tumor implanted in nude mice; ②Insulin and EGF increased the proliferation of HCT116 significantly, and this proliferation could be inhibited by Oct and NC-8-12 partially; ③Insulin increased the Cyclin D1 expression of HCT116, its level decreased slightly when treated with Oct or NC-8-12 but not significantly (Pgt;0.05); ④The weight and volume of implanted tumor in nude mice treated with Oct or NC-8-12 showed no significant difference compared with the control group (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionBoth Oct and NC-8-12 could inhibit the proliferation of colonic carcinoma cell line HCT116 in vitro, which indicated that SSTR2 may mediated the inhibition. Oct and NC-8-12 have no effect on the growth of implanted HCT116 in nude mice in this experiment.
