GLB prevents tumor metastasis of Lewis lung carcinoma by inhibiting tumor adhesion actions

摘要

Aim: To investigate the inhibitory effect of a new compound of GLB on tumor metastasis in vivo and analyze its actions on tumor cell adhesion to clarify its mechanism.Methods: The effect of GLB on tumor metastasis was analyzed by Lewis lung carcinoma model.The pathological morphology of lung alveolar was evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The effect of GLB on the proliferation of human prostate cancer cell (PC-3M, with a high metastatic characteristic) was studied using the MTT method, and its actions on PC-3M cell adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and laminin were analyzed in vitro.Lewis lung carcinoma metastasis significantly (P＜0.05).Simultaneously, GLB could mitigate the damage of lung alveolar caused by metastasic tumor deposits.In vitro, GLB inhibited dramatically the adhesion of PC-3M cells to HUVEC (P＜0.01) and laminin (P＜0.05), without cytotoxic or anti-proliferative action on PC-3M cells.Conclusion: GLB has anti-tumor metastatic activity, which partly depends on its inhibition of tumor adhesion.
