Effect of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata Polysaccharide on Expressions of MMP-2, MMP-14 in Gastric Cancer Xenografts in Nude Mice
To observe the growth inhibition effect of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide on the gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice and the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14) in tumor tissues.
Method:
2
The nude mice xenograft model was established and randomly divided into model group
5-fluorouracil group (5-FU
0.01 g·kg
-1
)
high and low-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide groups (0.2
0.1 g·kg
-1
). Each group was given drug by gavage for 15 days. The effect of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide on the weight of gastric cancer in nude mice was observed. Morphological changes of tumor cells were observed under light microscope. The content of transforming growth factor-
β
1
(TGF-
β
1
) in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein and mRNA expressions of MMP-2
MMP-14 in tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry
Western blot and Real-time PCR.
Result:
2
The tumor inhibition rates of high and low-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharides were 52.83%
40.57%
respectively. Compared with model group
the tumor weight of high and low-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide was significantly lower (
P
<
0.01)
indicating the inhibitory effect on the growth of transplanted tumors. ELISA showed that compared with model group
Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide could significantly reduce serum TGF-
β
1
content in nude mice (
P
<
0.01). Immunohistochemistry showed that compared with model group
MMP-2 protein was down-regulated in high and low-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide groups (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
and MMP-14 protein expression was decreased (
P
<
0.01). Western blot analysis showed that expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-14 were down-regulated in high and low-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide groups compared with model group (
P
<
0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that compared with model group
expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-14 mRNA in high-dose Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide group decreased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata polysaccharide can inhibit the growth of gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice and the expression of TGF-
β
1
.The anti-tumor mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of MMP-2
