| Abstract:: |
| Objective To observe the radiosensitivity by targeting HIF-1α in human lung cancer and the effects on tumor growth in nude mice. Methods Radiosensitivity of A549 and A549/HIF-1α(-) cells were tested by clonogenic forming assay. A549/HIF-1α(-) cells and A549 cells were injected into the male BALB/C nude mice. Tumor growth was observed. The expression of HIF-1α and microvessel density were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results SERs of HIF-1α gene silencing were 1.03 in normoxia and 1.65 in hypoxia. The sizes of tumor xenografts derived from A549/HIF-1α(-) cells were significantly reduced compared to those of the xenografts derived from A549 cells. HIF-1α protein staining result showed a dramatic decrease in tumors from A549/HIF-1α(-) mice. The microvessel densities (MVD) were 19.83 ± 4.09 in A549 group and 11.61±3.04 in A549/HIF-1α (-)group(F=15.57,P<0.05). Conclusions Hypoxia-induced radio-resistance in lung cancer A549 cells could be reversed by silencing the HIF-1α. It also retards the growth of tumor xenografts, decreases HIF-1α expression and reduces the vascularity. |
