| 1 | Anti-leukemic and anti-angiogenic effects of D-Limonene on K562-implanted C57BL/6 mice and the chick chorioallantoic membrane model显示文摘Background: D-Limonene, a monoterpene from citrus fruit has been found to have chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic activities in various types of cancers. In this study, we evaluated the in vivo effect of D-Limonene on a K562-induced model of chronic myeloid leukemia(CML) in C57 BL/6 mice.Method: The tail vein injection model of K562 cells in immunocompromised C57 BL/6 mice was developed and evaluated for characteristics of the disease. The mice were treated with D-Limonene and evaluated for haematological parameters. We also evaluated the effect of D-Limonene on angiogenesis using the chick chorioallantoic membrane(CAM) assay.Results: In a complete blood count, a significant dose-dependent reduction in white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, but an elevation in red blood cell count and haemoglobin content was observed with D-Limonene treatment compared to the disease control or untreated group. In the CAM assay, D-Limonene produced a significant dose-dependent reduction in number of blood vessels in treatment groups compared to the vehicle-treated group.Conclusion: These studies suggest promising anti-leukemic and anti-angiogenic effects of D-Limonene in the treatment of CML. | Bhavini B.Shah Ruma Baksi Kiranj K.Chaudagar Manish Nivsarkar Anita A.Mehta | 2018 | Animal Models and Experimental Medicine2018，1，4： | 2 |
