Experimental Study on Mechanisms of Cortex Ailanthi in Inhibiting Sarcoma180 Angiogenesis
Objective:To investigate the effect on angiogensis as well as tumor growth for the traditional Chinese medical astringent
such as
Cortex Ailanthi
and the mechanism of the effect.Method:A model of transplanting tumor in mice was used to study the effect of these medical herbs on tumor growth.The expression of Ⅷ-RAg and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in tumor tissue were examined with immunohistochemical method.The microvessel density(MVD) of the tumour tissue was also measured with the Image Pro Plus software.Result:Cortex Ailanthi could obviously inhibit the growth of sarcoma(S
180) transplanted subcutaneously in mice(P
<
0.05).There were fewer vessels in sarcoma tissue in Cortex Ailanthi group than in control group and CTX group(P
<
0.05).The expression of MMP-9 was lower in Cortex Ailanthi group than in control group(P
<
0.05).Conclusion:Cortex Ailanthi can inhibit angiogensis in tumor tissue
and can also suppress the growth of sarcoma(S
180) transplanted in mice and the expression of MMP-9 in the sarcoma tissue.
