Abstract:
Objective To establish a mouse model of gastric cancer by inoculating MKN45 cells into mice with normal immune function utilizing microcarrier technology.
Methods A total of 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups, namely, 2D, control, and 3D groups, according to the coculture system of MKN45 and microcarrier. The mouse models of gastric carcinoma were established by hypodermic injection. The time of tumorigenesis, rate of tumor formation, and pathological features were observed in each group.
Results In the 3D group, the time of tumor formation was short, whereas the rate of tumor formation was high (80%). No detectable tumor formations were observed in the 2D and control groups. HE and immunohistochemical staining of the transplantation tumor model showed evident characteristics of human gastric cancer.
Conclusion A human gastric cancer model in normal immune mice was successfully established. The onset and development mechanism of gastric cancer could be more effectively investigated in mice with normal immune function through this model. Moreover, a more valuable and new animal model for the research and development of anticancer drug was established.
