Feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) is similar to human breast cancer in the late age of onset, incidence, histopathologic features, biological behavior, and pattern of metastasis. Therefore, FMC has been proposed as a relevant model for aggressive human breast cancer. The goals of this study were to develop a nude mouse model of FMC tumor growth and metastasis and to measure the expression of genes responsible for lymphangiogenesis, angiogenesis, tumor progression, and lymph node metastasis in FMC tissues and cell lines. Two primary FMC tissues were injected subcutaneously, and 6 FMC cell lines were injected into 3 sites (subcutaneous, intratibial, and intracardiac) in nude mice. Tumors and metastases were monitored using bioluminescent imaging and characterized by gross necropsy, radiology, and histopathology. Molecular characterization of invasion and metastasis genes in FMC was conducted using quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in 6 primary FMC tissues, 2 subcutaneous FMC xenografts, and 6 FMC cell lines. The histologic appearance of the subcutaneous xenografts resembled the primary tumors. No metastasis was evident following subcutaneous injection of tumor tissues and cell lines, whereas lung, brain, liver, kidney, eye, and bone metastases were confirmed following intratibial and intracardiac injection of FMC cell lines. Finally, 15 genes were differentially expressed in the FMC tissues and cell lines. The highly expressed genes in all samples were PDGFA, PDGFB, PDGFC, FGF2, EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, VEGFD, VEGFR3, and MYOF. Three genes ( PDGFD, ANGPT2, and VEGFC) were confirmed to be of stromal origin. This investigation demonstrated the usefulness of nude mouse models of experimental FMC and identified molecular targets of FMC progression and metastasis.

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy in dogs. Dogs and humans are similar in the spontaneous development of thyroid cancer and metastasis to lungs; however, thyroid cancer has a higher incidence of metastasis in dogs. This study developed a preclinical nude mouse model of canine thyroid cancer using a canine thyroid adenocarcinoma cell line (CTAC) and measured the expression of important invasion and metastasis genes in spontaneous canine thyroid carcinomas and CTAC cells. CTAC cells were examined by electron microscopy. Short tandem repeat analysis was performed for both the original neoplasm and CTAC cells. CTAC cells were transduced with luciferase and injected subcutaneously and into the tail vein. Tumors and metastases were monitored using bioluminescent imaging and confirmed with gross necropsy and histopathology. Invasion and metastasis genes were characterized in 8 follicular thyroid carcinomas (FTCs), 4 C-cell thyroid carcinomas, 3 normal thyroids, and CTAC cells. CTAC cells grew well as xenografts in the subcutis, and they resembled the primary neoplasm. Metastasis to the kidney and lung occurred infrequently following subcutaneous and tail vein injection of CTAC cells. STR analysis confirmed that CTAC cells were derived from the original neoplasm and were of canine origin. Finally, 24 genes were differentially expressed in spontaneous canine thyroid carcinomas, CTAC, and normal thyroids. This study demonstrated the usefulness of a nude mouse model of experimental canine thyroid carcinoma and identified potential molecular targets of canine follicular and C-cell thyroid carcinoma.

Somatostatin receptor-targeting endoradiotherapy offers potential for treating metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas, an approach likely to benefit from combination radiosensitization therapy. To provide reliable preclinical in vivo models of metastatic disease, this study characterized the metastatic spread of luciferase-expressing mouse pheochromocytoma (MPC) cells in mouse strains with different immunologic conditions. Bioluminescence imaging showed that, in contrast to subcutaneous non-metastatic engraftment of luciferase-expressing MPC cells in NMRI-nude mice, intravenous cell injection provided only suboptimal metastatic spread in both NMRI-nude mice and hairless SCID (SHO) mice. Treatment of NMRI-nude mice with anti-Asialo GM1 serum enhanced metastatic spread due to substantial depletion of natural killer (NK) cells. However, reproducible metastatic spread was only observed in NK cell-defective SCID/beige mice and in hairless immunocompetent SKH1 mice bearing disseminated or liver metastases, respectively. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry of urine samples showed that subcutaneous and metastasized tumor models exhibit comparable renal monoamine excretion profiles characterized by increasing urinary dopamine, 3-methoxytyramine, norepinephrine and normetanephrine. Metastases-related epinephrine and metanephrine were only detectable in SCID/beige mice. Positron emission tomography and immunohistochemistry revealed that all metastases maintained somatostatin receptor-specific radiotracer uptake and immunoreactivity, respectively. In conclusion, we demonstrate that intravenous injection of luciferase-expressing MPC cells into SCID/beige and SKH1 mice provides reproducible and clinically relevant spread of catecholamine-producing and somatostatin receptor-positive metastases. These standardized preclinical models allow for precise monitoring of disease progression and should facilitate further investigations on theranostic approaches against metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.

ObjectiveOvarian cancer is 1 kind of a highly malignant gynecologic tumor, and current treatments have not achieved satisfactory effects. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–targeted therapies including trastuzumab and trastuzumab-DM1 (T-DM1) (antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugates) have been applied to treat HER2-overexpressing breast cancers in clinic. In the present study, we explored whether T-DM1 could effectively treat HER2-positive human ovarian carcinoma in vitro and in vivo.MethodsHER2 expressions of 6 ovarian cancer cell lines and 2 breast carcinoma cell lines were validated, and the binding capacity of T-DM1 to HER2-positive ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Nude mice bearing intraperitoneal and subcutaneous SKOV3 xenografts were used to investigate the antitumor effect of T-DM1.ResultsHigh HER2 expressions in SKOV3 cell lines were detected. The binding capacity of T-DM1 to HER2-positive SKOV3 cells was in a similar manner comparing with trastuzumab. In vitro, T-DM1 showed strong growth inhibitory on SKOV3 cells, with IC50 values of 0.15 nmol/L. Nude mice bearing intraperitoneal and subcutaneous SKOV3 xenografts were used to investigate the antitumor effects of T-DM1 in vivo. In subcutaneous xenografts model, T-DM1 (30 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) indicated significant anticancer effects. It is noteworthy that tumors were completely eradicated in the T-DM1 (30 mg/kg) group, and no regrowth was observed in a long time after the termination of the treatment. In the peritoneal xenograft model, tumor nodules in 3 of 7 mice were hardly observed in the abdominal cavity of mice after intraperitoneal injection of T-DM1 (30 mg/kg). At the same time, tumor nodules from the other 4 mice weighed on the average of only 0.07 g versus 1.77 g in control group.ConclusionsOur data showed that T-DM1 possessed promising antitumor effects on HER2-overexpressing ovarian cancer in mouse model, which provided valuable references for the future clinical trials.

Nuclear and membrane markers that have been related to proliferative activity were measured by flow cytometry. The markers studied were transferrin receptor (TR), Ki-67 antigen, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Two-color analysis for DNA via propidium iodide binding and for antigen expression via either a direct or indirect immunofluorescence assay was performed on three different cell lines and a solid human tumor model. The three cell lines tested were MCF-7 (breast), K-562 (leukemia), and A431 (a squamous cell). The solid tumor was obtained by subcutaneous injection of A431 cells into an athymic nude mouse. Our results demonstrate that TR are cell-cycle specific and can be readily measured in the cell lines. Ki-67 antigen is also cell-cycle specific in the cell lines tested, but the mean channel specific fluorescence uptake varies in the cell types. Finally, the EGFR was observed only in the A431 cell line, with most cells equally expressing this receptor. A bimodal distribution of EGFR was observed in A431 cells obtained from a solid tumor grown in an athymic nude mouse system. This suggests that cell line analysis may not always represent what might be observed under in vivo conditions. There are advantages to flow cytometry measurements of these factors which might be useful in predicting how patients should be treated and possibly the prognosis of cancer patients.

e14087 Background: CLR 131 is a novel radioiodinated therapeutic that exploits the selective uptake and retention of phospholipid ethers (PLEs) by malignant cells. Study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of CLR 131 when administered as a single dose intravenous injection in Caki-2 tumor bearing mice. Caki-2 cells are a human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). Methods: The Caki-2 cell line (human clear cell carcinoma) was purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD) and maintained in McCoy’s 5a media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Female athymic nude mice (Hsd: Athymic Nude-Foxn1nu); 4-5 weeks of age, 16-18 g (Harlan, Indianapolis, IN) were injected subcutaneously with 1x106 viable cells (in 100 µL Dulbecco’s PBS) into the right flank. The study was initiated when tumor size had reached a pre-determined size (100-250 mm3). The mice were given potassium iodide at a concentration of 0.1% in their drinking water to block possible free iodide in the drug formulation. A single dose of ~110µCi of CLR 131 was given at Day 0 (N = 6 per group). A control dose of I-127-CLR1404 was given at ~110 µCi dose and was injected via tail vein on Day 0. Results: Tumor growth of the treatment group was significantly inhibited. The control group showed exponential growth after day 20 post-injection while the treatment group maintained the initial tumor volume up to day 75 post injection. By day 65, the control group increased 10.75-fold compared to the treatment group in average tumor volume. CLR 131 provides survival benefit for Caki-2 bearing mice. Kaplan Meier survival showed significant survival benefit with this model. Conclusions: The results of the study indicate that a single dose of CLR 131 on Caki-2 tumor bearing model showed a significant inhibition of tumor growth as well as significant survival benefit.

"A Novel Tanshinone Analog Exerts Anti-Cancer Effects in Prostate Cancer by Inducing Cell Apoptosis, Arresting Cell Cycle at G2 Phase and Blocking Metastatic Ability."

Prostate cancer (PCa), an epithelial malignant tumor, is the second common cause of cancer death among males in western countries. Thus, the development of new strategies is urgently needed. Tanshinones isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza and its synthetic analogs show various biological activities including anticancer effects. Among them, the tanshinone analog 2-((Glycine methyl ester)methyl)-naphtho (TC7) is the most effective, with better selectivity and lower toxicity. Therefore, in this work, the effect of TC7 against PCa was investigated through assessing the molecular mechanisms regulating the growth, metastasis, and invasion of PCa cells. Human PCa cells, PC3 and LNCAP, were used to evaluate TC7 mechanisms of action in vitro, while male BALB/c nude mice were used for in vivo experiments by subjecting each mouse to a subcutaneous injection of PC3 cells into the right flank to evaluate TC7 effects on tumor volume. Our in vitro results showed that TC7 inhibited cell proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at G2/M through the regulation of cyclin b1, p53, GADD45A, PLK1, and CDC2/cyclin b1. In addition, TC7 induced cell apoptosis by regulating apoptosis-associated genes such as p53, ERK1, BAX, p38, BCL-2, caspase-8, cleaved-caspase-8, PARP1, and the phosphorylation level of ERK1 and p38. Furthermore, it decreased DNA synthesis and inhibited the migration and invasion ability by regulating VEGF-1 and MMP-9 protein expression. Our in vivo evidence supports the conclusion that TC7 could be considered as a potential promising chemotherapeutic candidate in the treatment of PCa.

Oncolytic viral therapy is a promising approach to targeted therapy of malignant tumors. In this article we consider the therapeutic potential of a non-pathogenic Coxsackie A7 virus (CA7V) with neurotropic properties on a model of human neuroblastoma. Purpose to study in vitro/in vivo sensitivity of human neuroblastoma HNB (from cell line JMR-32) to Coxsackie virus A7 (CA7V). Objectives: еvaluation of cytolytic activity in vitro on NB cells verified by cytomorphology and assessment of dynamics of the growth of subcutaneous neuroblastoma xenografts in Balb/c nude male mice exposed to CA7V multiple i.v. injections. Material and methods. CA7V was produced in the cells of line-producer С-33А. Cell culture and the strain of transplanted NB (JMR-32) were obtained from the Collection of N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center. Cytomorphologic verification of neuroblastoma and CA7V cytolytic activity were executed with the use of standard cultural methods, TCID50 and IC50 criteria. Experiments «in vivo» were performed on immunodeficient Balb/c nude male mice bred and reared in the N.N. Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center. The experiments were made at day 6 when neuroblastoma subcutaneous xenografts developed to the Vmean = 79-82 mm3 by day 6. The treatment with CA7V at the i.v. single dose of 1×108 cells per mouse was performed 3 times with 72-hours intervals; evaluation of the efficacy was made according to standard criterion Т/С ≤ 42%; and control of the tumor growth rate (Vt/V0) in the dynamics. Statistical assessment was made with the software Excel for Windows 2007 with the use of T-test under p ≤ 0.05. Results. Cytolytic effect of CA7V on neuroblastoma cells was registered similar to basic parameters of the original line-producer С-33А: TCID50 = 0.99×10-4 pfu/cell, and IC50 = 1.11×10-4 pfu/cell; 48 and 72 hours after virus reproduction in NB cells the rate was 2.0 and 1.5-fold higher than in the line-producer cells. СA7V inhibiting effect on the growth of large subcutaneous neuroblstoma xenografts is registered after the first i.v. injection at the minimal level of T/C = 67% (criterion ≤ 42%) with the 1.5-fold decrease of the tumor growth rate and cancellation of early mice death by day 22 vs day 15 in the control group of untreated mice (n = 8). Conclusion. The obtained results allow to consider human neuroblastoma (JMR-32) to possess the low sensitivity to oncolytic effect of in vitro/in vivo. In order to obtain significant effect in vivo the treatment should be started in mice with 2-fold smaller tumors and a higher initial dose of the oncolytic agent.

Aim of the study – the development of a method for obtaining a tumor xenograft model by a subcutaneous transplantation of a porous metal scaffold populated with cultured human lung carcinoma cells. Material and methods. The study included 14 athymic male Balb c/nude mice aged 8-90 weeks, weighing 20-24 g. All animals received injections with cultured human A549 lung carcinoma cells subcutaneously into the right anterolateral area of the back. In animals of the main group (gr.1, n=4), scaffolds with a pore diameter of 0.5 mm made of titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy using an industrial 3D printer served as carriers of tumor cells. Scaffolds were seeded with 3 million A549 culture cells, and were implanted into the recipient animals after the 7-day incubation. Results were compared with the results of the tumor culture transplantation with Matrigel (100 mcL) in two groups of animals with varying cell suspension dosages: the maximum vaccination dose for in vivo (10×106 cells per mouse, gr.2, n=5) and half the maximum dose (5×106 respectively, gr.3, n=5). Then, the dynamics of tumor growth in the groups of experimental mice was monitored for 55 days: xenograft volumes were calculated using the Shrek’s formula for an ellipsoid. At the end of the experiment, the animals were euthanized by cervical dislocation. Results. Monitoring of the dynamics of xenograft volumes demonstrated the maximal values in mice with implanted scaffolds. The slowest xenograft growth was registered in animals with the maximum vaccination dose of tumor cells with Matrigel. Histological study showed that tumor material obtained from all animals corresponded to A549 lung carcinoma. Conclusions. Porous metal scaffolds, previously incubated with A549 culture cells and implanted subcutaneously in athymic Balb c/nude mice, allows obtaining rapidly growing xenografts with histologically confirmed correspondence to the original tumor.

Abstract Tumor/host-generated thrombin (endogenous thrombin) was investigated with tumor growth and metastasis experiments in mice by the use of hirudin, a highly potent specific inhibitor of thrombin. Pretreatment with hirudin inhibited tumor implantation in nude or syngeneic mice, following subcutaneous injection of 2 human and 2 murine tumors. Hirudin induced a considerable lag period in the appearance of tumor growth, compared with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) treatment, but had no effect on established tumor nodule growth in vivo or on tumor growth in vitro. Hirudin treatment induced central necrosis of the tumor nodule compared with no effect with PBS treatment. Greater protection was noted with longer duration of treatment. Tumor seeding into blood was examined with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled tumor cells. Hirudin inhibited seeding into the blood as well as systemic organs which varied from complete protection to 15- to 32-fold in the blood and 17- to 395-fold in the lung. Hirudin inhibited spontaneous metastases from subcutaneously implanted tumor by reducing the number of tumor nodules in the lungs. Mouse survival in animals injected subcutaneously with highly aggressive 4T1 cells revealed 5 of 5 deaths of PBS-treated animals on day 40 compared with no deaths with hirudin treatment, with prolongation of survival with hirudin treatment of 16 days to more than 31 days. Thus, endogenous thrombin contributes to tumor implantation, seeding, and spontaneous metastasis. A potent antithrombin agent should be of clinical benefit to patients with cancer.

Micro (mi)RNAs have recently been found to play an important role in cancer biology. In order to further understand how miRNAs affect prostate tumour progression, we evaluated miRNA expression in two invasive prostate tumour lines, PC3 and DU145. We then focused our evaluation on a novel miRNA, miR-105, whose levels were significantly decreased in both tumour cell lines as compared to normal prostate epithelial cells. As miR-105 levels were reduced in prostate tumour cell lines, we restored its expression following transfection of cells with mimic constructs to over-express miR-105 in both cell lines, in order to determine its effect on various tumourigenic properties. Over-expression caused decreased tumour cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and invasion in vitro and inhibited tumour growth in vivo. We further identified CDK6 as a putative target of miR-105, which likely contributed to its inhibition of tumour cell growth. Our results suggest that miR-105 inhibits tumour cell proliferation and may be an interesting target to regulate tumour growth or potentially used as a biomarker to differentiate between less and more aggressive tumours in patients.
