Establishment and evaluation of VX2 lung cancer model(squamous cancer) in rabbits
Objective:To evaluate the establishment method and bionomics of VX2 lung cancer models in rabbits.Methods: VX2 tumor fragments
preserved from autoinculation rabbits into the lungs of healthy rabbits to establish the models
and then the tumorous growth was observed through the imageology and the morphology of the samples including the lung
the cardia
the liver
the kidney
the brain and lymphatic gland after death at different time.Results:(1) the achievement ratio of modeling was 100%。(2)The VX2 tumor discovered evidently in lung were displayed for diffuse
inequality of size
tuberculum and fish surface.It was visible that metastatic tumor
which were invasion
were discovered evidently in all six organs except for the brain after vaccination for six days.(3)Squamous cell carcinoma
which was originated from epithelial tissue
was confirmed through pathologic histology and immunohistochemistey.Conclusions:The construction of VX2 tumor animal models in rabbits by applying organism fragments not only is simple in method
free from infection and high in achievement ratio but also the biological behaviour of VX2 is similar to human tumors
with high level of malignancy.This study provides valuable guidance for the construction of the large animal models of the lung cancer.
