Gene silencing of VEGF inhibits growth and angiogenesis of human colon cancer HCT116 implanted in nude mice
Objective To observe the growth and angiogenesis of human colon cancer HCT116 implanted in nude mice after silencing VEGF gene expression with RNAi technique. Methods The sub-cloned recombinant plasmid shRNA (pAVU6+27-VEGF-siRNA) and empty plasmid (pAVU6+27) were transfected into human colon carcinoma cell l
ine HCT116 with DOTAP method
respectively named as group C and group B. The positive transfected cell clones were screened with G418. The cells receiving no plasmid transfection served as control (group A). Tumorigenicity and tumor growth of transfected cells were studied in a mouse model. VEGF expression and microvessel density (MVD) in tumor tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry. Results The mean volume and weight of the implanted tumor in group C [(0.169±0.009) cm
3
(0.192±0.022) g
]
were significantly lower than group A [(0.256±0.016) cm
3
(0.324±0.026) g
]
and group B [(0.248±0.014) cm
3
(0.316±0.015) g
]
(
P
<
0.05). The protein expressions of VEGF in group C were significantly decreased as compared with those in group A and group B (
P
<
0.05)
but no significant difference between group A and group B (
P
>0.05). Moreover
MVD in group C was also decreased as compared with that in group A and group B (
P
<
0.05)
but no significant difference between group A and group B (
P
>0.05). There was a positive correlation between VEGF and MVD (
r
=0.810
P
<
0.01). Conclusion Silencing VEGF gene can decrease VEGF gene expressions
suppress tumor angiogenesis and inhibit tumor growth in nude mice bearing human colon cancer cell line HCT116.
