ObjectiveTo explore the suppression of Wnt-1 pathway on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by establishing a NSCLC nude mice model of transplanting tumor in Xuanwei county.
MethodsThere were 21 mice with tumor weight from 16-18 g and we divided them into a blank group (n=7), a control group (n=7), and an experiment group (n=7). The blank group were injected with saline, the control group were injected with docetaxel, and the experimental group were injected with Wnt-1 antibody. The mice were executed and the tumor specimens were obtained after six injections. We compared the volumes of the specimens and the inhibition rates of tumor among the three groups.
ResultsThere was a statistical difference in volume between the blank group and the experiment group as well as the control group on the 21th and 27th day (P=0.002,P=0.000). The experiment within mice's body showed that both docetaxel and Wnt-1 antibody could inhibit NSCLC from growing, and the inhibition effect of docetaxel was stronger.
ConclusionThe interdiction of Wnt-1 pathway is functional to restrain the growth of tumor. The docetaxel and Wnt-1 antibody have a positive effect on the treatment of NSCLC.
