Effect of rofecoxib on expressions of VEGF and inducible NOS in human gastric carcinoma tissues established in nude mice by orthotopic transplantation
Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of rofecoxib in human gastric carcinoma tissues established in nude mice by orthotopic transplantation through the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Methods After the models of human gastric carcinoma in nude mice by orthotopic transplantation were established
rofecoxib was administered intragastrically. The expressions of VEGF and iNOS were evaluated in the local tumors by Envision immunohistochemical method. Results The expression of VEGF protein in isotonic saline group, rofecoxib group and combination group were 81.25%, 61.25%
and 35.00% respectively.There was significant difference between rofecoxib group and isotonic saline group
and so was rofecoxib group and combination group (P0.05). The expression of iNOS protein in isotonic saline group,rofecoxib group and combination group was 73.75%,52.50%
and 26.67% respectively
being significantly different among groups (P0.05). Conclusion Rofecoxib
by downregulating the protein expression of VEGF and iNOS
may suppress the angiogenesis and further the growth and metastasis of gastric carcinoma.
