Objective To observe the synergistic effects of trastuzumab and 9-cis-RA on HER2/neu positive breast cancer cells in vivo. Methods MCF-7 breast cancer cells transfected with exogenous HER2 gene were inoculated into nude mice. Four weeks later
the mice bearing a tumor of approximately 200 mm
3
in volume were selected to be treated with trastuzumab and/or 9-cis-RA (SC) for 20 d. Then the tumor volume was precisely measured
simultaneously the protein expressions of Cyclin E
CDK2 as well as P27 in the tumor tissues were detected by Western blot assay. Results The combination of trastuzumab and 9-cis-RA synergistically decreased the tumor v
olume
compared with control group and single medication group. Western blot results showed that the Cyclin E and CDK2 expressions were significantly inhibited
while P27 protein expressions were remarkably up-regulated by the co-treatment. Conclusion Trastuzumab and 9-cis-RA could synergistically inhibit the proliferation of HER2 positive breast cancer cells in vivo by influencing the protein expressions of G
