    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of recombinant human endostatin (endostar, ES) and cisplatin on the growth of gastric cancer-transplanted tumor in nude mice and the expression of microvessel density (MVD). METHODS: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells were subcutaneously injected into the armpit of nude mice to prepare cancer-bearing nude mice. A total of 32 cancer-bearing nude mice were divided into four groups (each group with 8 mice). The four groups included control group and other three groups in which mice were treated with 5 mg/kg of ES (group E), 5 mg/kg of cisplatin (group Ci), and 5 mg/kg of ES combined with 5 mg/kg of cisplatin (group C), respectively. MVD was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the expressions of mRNA and protein of inhibitor of differentiation-1 (ID1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. Apoptosis was observed with transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the sizes and weights of tumors were significantly decreased in other three groups (all p < 0.05). MVD was significantly lower in groups E, Ci, and C than in control group, and in groups E and C than in group Ci (all p < 0.05). Compared with control group, the expressions of mRNA and protein of ID1 and VEGF significantly decreased in groups E and C (all p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the expressions of mRNA and protein of ID1 and VEGF between group Ci and control group. There was apoptosis in groups E and C, but no apoptosis was found in group Ci and control group. CONCLUSION: ES can inhibit the growth of gastric cancer cells through suppressing angiogenesis and promoting apoptosis of tumor cell. This study provides a new idea for the treatment of gastric cancer.
