| 1 | Experimental study of anti-tumor effects of polysaccharides from Angelica sinensis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the in vivo anti-tumor effects of total polysaccharide (AP-0) isolated from Angelica sinensis (Oliv.)Diels (Danggui) on mice and thein vitro inhibitory effects of AP-0 and its sub-constituents (AP-1, AP-2 and AP-3) on invasion and metastasis of human hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS: Three kinds of murine tumor models in vivo,sarcoma 180 (S180), leukemia L1210 and Ehrlich ascitic cancer (FAC) were employed to investigate the anti-tumor effects of AP-0. For each kind of tumor model, three experimental groups were respectively given AP-0 at doses of 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg byip once a day for 10 days.Positive control groups were respectively given Cy at a dose of 30 mg/kg for S180 and leukemia L1210, and 5-FU at a dose of 20 mg/kg for EAC. On d 11, mice bearing S180were sacrificed and the masses of tumors, spleens and thymus were weighed. The average living days of mice bearing EAC and of mice bearing L1210 were observed,and the rates of life prolongation of each treatment were calculated, respectively. The inhibitory effects of APs on hepatoma invasion and metastasis in vitro were investigated by employing human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HHCC) with the Matrigel invasion chamber, adhesion to extracelluler matrix and chemotatic migration tests, respectively.RESULTS: AP-0 had no obviously inhibitory effect on the growth of S180, but it could significantly decrease the thymus weights of the mice bearing S180. AP-0 could significantly reduce the production of ascitic liquids and prolong the life of mice bearing EAC. AP-0 could also increase the survival time of mice bearing L1210. AP-0 and AP-2 had significantly inhibitory effects on the invasion of HHCC into the Matrigel reconstituted basement membrane with the inhibitory rates of 56.4% and 68.3%, respectively. AP-0, AP-1, AP-2 and AP-3 could influence the adhesion of HHCC to extracellular matrix proteins (Matrigel and fibronectin) at different degrees, among them only AP-3 had significant blocking effect on the adhesion of HHCC to fibronectin with an inhibitory rate of 30.3%. AP-0, AP-1 and AP-3 could partially inhibit the chemotactic migration abilities of HHCC.CONCLUSION: The experimental findings suggest that total polysaccharide of Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Chinese Danggui) possesses anti-tumor effects on experimental tumor models in vivo and inhibitory effects on invasion and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in vitro. | Wen-MingZhao Zhi-NanChen PengShang Ai-RongQian Tie-HongYang MinJia Qi-BingMei Chi-HinCho | 2003 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2003，9，9： | 27 |
| 2 | Establishment and characterization of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line FHCC-98显示文摘AIM: To establish a novel human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line FHCC-98 from HCC tissue and to provide a suitable model for studying HCC occurrence, progress and metastasis.METHODS: Serially passaged cells were cultured and their morphologies were observed under light and electron microscope. Cytogenetic study was conducted by using flow cytometry and chromosome analysis. Expressions of tumor markers such as α-fetoprotein (AFP), cytokeratin (CK) and hepatoma metastasis-associated factor HAb18G/CD147 on the FHCC-98 cells were detected by immunocytochemistry or Western blotting. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes were detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE).Xenograft was performed by inoculating FHCC-98 cells into the flanks of nude mice.RESULTS: Morphology of FHCC-98 cells was the same as that of other malignant cells. The expressions of the cells were positive for HAb18G/CD147 and CK, and negative for AFP. Its population doubling time was 21.4 h. The cell DNA was tetraploid and the major chromosomes were triploid by cytogenetics analysis. The tumorigenicity in nude mice was 100%. PAGE showed four bands representing LDH2, LDH3,LDH4 and LDH5.CONCLUSION: FHCC-98 is a novel HCC cell line and an ideal cell model for further exploring the mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma invasion and metastasis. | Chao-YangLou Ying-MingFeng Ai-RongQian YuLi HaoTang PengShang Zhi-NanChen | 2004 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2004，10，10： | 10 |
