[Inhibition of parvovirus H-1 on transplantable human hepatoma and its histological and histobiochemical studies].
摘要
A transplantable human hepatoma model, the QGY-9204, was used in this study. The growth kinetics of hepatoma in nude mice were compared after injection of parvovirus H-1 into the tumor growth. Significant difference in growth curves were seen between injected groups with H-1 dosages of 5 x 10(7) PFU and 5 x 10(8) PFU and that of control. It indicated that parvovirus H-1 was capable of suppressing the growth of human hepatoma. Previous studies showed H-1 is oncotropic, oncosuppressive and oncolytic. For histological, ultrastructural and histochemical examinations, transplantable hepatomas were taken at different time interval post H-1 (1 x 10(8) PFU per tumor growth) injection. For H-1 DNA amplification and H-1 nonstructural protein expression, PCR and ABC approach in hepatoma paraffin sections were used. The H-1 treated groups exhibited obvious signs of necrosis. It started on 3rd day post infection (3 d.p.i.) and the area of necrosis enlarged consecutively on 7 d.p.i., 10 d.p.i. and 14 d.p.i., but none was seen in saline-injected group even on 14 d.p.i. H-1 virions were also detected in the damaged tumor cells with numerous vacuoles in cytoplasm. Specific band (908 bp) of H-1 DNA and ABC immunostaining indicated H-1 DNA replication and NS-1 expression in tumors of treated groups, their time course was well in accordance with that process of necrosis. These results suggest that parvovirus H-1 promotes tumor necrosis by its DNA replication and cytotoxic NS-1 protein expression, and thus, it inhibits hepatoma growth and induces oncosuppression and oncolysis.
