چکیده انگلیسی
Stem cell transplantation to improve the onset and survival of animals or humans with prostate cancer has not been studied adequately. In this study, we examined whether intravenous administration of human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) mononuclear cells into TRAMP (transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate) mice can delay the onset of prostate cancer and improve survival of these mice before and after the development of cancer. Twenty TRAMP mice were randomly divided into 2 groups. One group of 10 mice received 200Ã106 HUCB mononuclear cells retro-orbitally into the venous plexus at the age of 6 weeks. Another group of 10 mice did not receive HUCB cells and served as control mice. The presence of tumor was detected by abdominal palpation, which was confirmed by biopsy. When 4 of the 10 control mice developed the tumor, they were treated with the same dose of HUCB cells. Either at the time of death or sacrifice, various tissues were examined for the presence of HUCB cell total RNA by reverse transcriptase PCR. Also, the tissues were examined histologically for the presence of metastasis and carcinoma. Kaplan-Meier survival plots were used to assess the lifespan of the mice. The data show that the control mice developed the tumor much earlier than the treated mice (control vs treated: 238±38 vs 311±40 days; P<0.001). Also, transplantation of HUCB cells either before or after the development of tumor significantly increased the life span compared to that of control mice. Persistence of human RNA either in blood or spleen was associated with prolonged survival. No graft vs host disease was observed in any of the mice. In conclusion, transplantation of HUCB mononuclear cells via intravenous administration into TRAMP mice retards not only the development of prostate cancer but also increases the lifespan of these mice.
