Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of VEGF ASODN in vitro and in vivo on the biological characteristics of human prostate cancer PC3 cells and its effect in xenotransplanted tumors in nude mice by local ASODN injection.Methods VEGF ASODN was delivered into PC3 cells by Oligofectamine.There were three experimental groups: VEGF ASODN,VEGF ODN and control.Soft agar assay and matrigel invasion assay were used to measure cellular transformation and invasion ability,respectively.Tumor formation assay in nude mice was used to evaluate the effect of VEGF ASODN on proliferation of PC3 cells in vivo.The xenotransplanted prostate tumor model in nude mice was established and the effect of local ASODN injection on the inhibition of tumor growth in vivo was examed.Results The soft agar colony numbers for control,ODN,and ASODN treated cells were 53.67±5.86,52.33±6.43 and 26.00±4.58,respectively (F =13.73,P<0.01).The numbers of invaded cells for three group were 45.60±5.53,42.35±6.21 and 18.37±3.52,respectively (F =14.18,P <0.01).Tumor cells transfected with VEGF ASODN proliferated more slowly than other groups.28 days later after tumor cells were injected into nude mice,the tumor sizes of three groups were (1330.32±81.38) mm3,(1267.64±120.26) mm3 and (641.83±58.34) mm3 (F =17.26,P <0.01).After treating the transplanted tumor with VEGF ASODN or control oligos for four weeks,the tumor weight of three groups was (1.25±0.08) g,(1.17±0.06) g and (0.41±0.05) g,respectively.Comparing with control groups,the tumor inhibitory rates of ODN group and ASODN group were 6.4 % and 67.2 %,respectively (x2=17.72,P<0.005).Conclusion VEGF ASODN could inhibit VEGF expression in PC3 cells and lead to increasing cell apoptosis.After VEGF ASODN treatment,tumorigenesis in vitro is inhibited and cell invasion ability is decreased.The tumors originated from cells transfected with VEGF ASODN grow more slowly than control groups.Also local injection of VEGF ASODN could inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in nude mice.
