To evaluate the biologic effects of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist buserelin on rat ovarian adenocarcinoma cells in vivo and in vitro, female Wistar rats with primary ovarian adenocarcinoma induced by 7, 12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and the DMBA-OC-1 cell line established from a DMBA-induced rat tumor were used in this study. In vivo, daily administration of buserelin significantly suppressed the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone as compared with controls. Buserelin did not inhibit the growth of DMBA-induced tumors. However, histopathologically, there was increased central necrosis and a decrease in the number of neoplastic cells, with proliferation of connective tissue, in the group treated with buserelin. In vitro, FSH-induced proliferation of DMBA-OC-1 cells was suppressed by buserelin. Thus, this basic experimental study supports the potential use of a GnRH agonist to suppress the growth of ovarian cancer.
为了评估促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)激动剂布舍瑞林在体内和体外对大鼠卵巢腺癌细胞的生物学效应,本研究使用了经7,12-二甲基苯并(a)蒽(DMBA)诱导产生原发性卵巢腺癌的雌性Wistar大鼠,以及从DMBA诱导的大鼠肿瘤中建立的DMBA-OC-1细胞系。在体内,与对照组相比,每日给予布舍瑞林可显著抑制促卵泡激素(FSH)、促黄体生成素(LH)和孕酮的释放。布舍瑞林并未抑制DMBA诱导的肿瘤生长。然而,在组织病理学上,布舍瑞林治疗组的肿瘤中央坏死增加,肿瘤细胞数量减少,结缔组织增生。在体外,布舍瑞林可抑制FSH诱导的DMBA-OC-1细胞增殖。因此,这项基础实验研究支持了GnRH激动剂在抑制卵巢癌生长方面的潜在应用。
