Antiangiogenic therapy is one of the most significant advances in anticancer treatment. The benefits of antiangiogenic therapies of late-stage cancers have been investigated but are still too limited.
We used an ovarian cancer model to test the effect of short-term bevacizumab treatment on metastasis as measured by bioluminescence. Western blotting and CD34-PAS dual staining were performed to assess hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and vasculogenic mimicry(VM) formation. Cell viability was examined by a CCK8 assay.
Bevacizumab demonstrated antitumor effects in models of ovarian cancer, but also accelerated metastasis together, with marked hypoxia and VM formation in mice receiving short-term therapy. Bevacizumab treatment did not affect SKOV3 cell viability and the amount of VM in three-dimensional culture.
These results suggest that antiangiogenic therapy may potentially influence the progression of metastatic disease, which has been linked to the hypoxic response and VM formation.
抗血管生成治疗是癌症治疗中最重要的进展之一。晚期癌症的抗血管生成治疗的益处已经得到了研究,但仍然非常有限。
我们使用卵巢癌模型,通过生物发光来测试短期贝伐珠单抗治疗对转移的影响。通过 Western blot 和 CD34-PAS 双重染色来评估缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)的表达和血管生成拟态(VM)的形成。通过 CCK8 测定法来检测细胞活力。
贝伐珠单抗在卵巢癌模型中表现出抗肿瘤作用,但也加速了转移,接受短期治疗的小鼠出现明显的缺氧和 VM 形成。贝伐珠单抗治疗并不影响 SKOV3 细胞在三维培养中的活力和 VM 的数量。
这些结果表明,抗血管生成治疗可能会影响转移性疾病的进展,这与缺氧反应和 VM 形成有关。
