目的:以改良方法在鸡胚绒膜尿囊膜(chickchorioallantoicmembrane,CAM)上接种人成神经胶质瘤U87细胞制备移植瘤,验证改良模型筛选抗肿瘤血管新生药物的有效性和可行性。方法:将鸡胚种蛋随机分为2组,分别使用传统方法与改良方法建立CAM-U87移植瘤模型;改良方法在鸡胚孵育中增加9—16h的开窗适应期,再将特制的硅胶圈放置在CAM组织-级血管的半侧;硅胶圈内接种U87细胞建立CAM—U87移植瘤模型。模型的硅胶圈内分别加入经典抗血管新生药物沙利度胺(50、100、200μg/ml)和自主研发抗血管新药G386,以DMSO为对照;体视显微镜观察肿瘤形态,H—E染色法观察瘤组织新生微血管密度(microvesseldensity,MVO),原位杂交(insituhybridization,ISH)技术检测血管标记物VEGFR2的表达。结果:成功制备改良CAM—U87细胞移植瘤,改良模型不影响CAM本身的血管生成,其瘤细胞接种成功率较传统模型显著升高[(70.00±4.226)%vs(41.25±5.154)%;t=4.314,P=0.0007],移植瘤体积显著增大[(60.20±6.012)vs(15.97±2.403)mm3;t=6.012,P〈0.0001]。沙利度胺和G386两药均能显著抑制移植瘤组织中的血管形成,使瘤组织中MVD显著降低[沙利度胺200μg/ml时(15.85±1.15)%vs(29.80±4.16)%;t=2.49,P=0.0474]、VEGFR2表达明显减少。结论:改良方法成功制备CAM—U87移植瘤模型,经沙利度胺和G386验证,该模型对抗肿瘤血管新生药物的筛选具有良好的有效性和可行性。
Objective: To modify the classical chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) xenograft model of tu- muorigenesis and evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the modified model in the screening of anti-angiogenesis drugs. Methods: Fertilized chicken eggs randomized into two groups. Eggs in the classical model group were grafted with U87 human glioma cells and the anti-angiogenic activity of test drugs, thalidomide (50, 100, 200 μg/ml), G3B6 and DMSO ( the control) was determined by following the well-established classical methods. In the modified model group, the CAM was given an additional adaptation period of 9-16 h and then grafted with U8 ceils by inoculating the cells into a sili- cone ring and then placing the ring on the half of the grade 1 vessel of the CAM. The test drugs were added into the sili- cone ring where their anti-angiogenic activity was evaluated. For both groups, the tumor morphology and the microvessel density (MVD) in the tumor tissue were examined under a stereo microscope with photos taken. Changes in the tumor his- tology was assessed by H-E staining and the expression of VEGFR2, the marker of the angiogenesis, was assessed by in si- tu hybridization. Results: The success rate of the xenograft was increased significantly without any negative effect on an- giogenesis in the CAM in the modified model as compared with the classical model ([70 ± 4. 226 ] % vs [41.25 ± 5. 154] % ; t = 4. 314, P = 0. 000 7). The tumor volume was also significantly increased in the modified model group ascompared with thecalissical model group ( [ 60.20 ± 6. 012 ] vs [ 15.97 ± 2. 403 ] mm3 ; t = 6.012, P 〈 0.000 1 ). Both thalidomide and G3B6 effectively inhibited the angiogenesis and reduced the MVD and VEGFR2 expression in the tumor tissue. Conclusion : The modified xenograft CAM model of tumuorigenesis developed in this study seems superior over the classical CAM model in studying tumorigenesis and screening anti-angiogenesis drugs.
