چکیده

In the life sciences, scientists are paying more and more attention to the human brain, the essential center of the body. The gliomas in human brains are especially unique challenges for doctors due to the difficulties of identifying early cancer lesions and little effective treatments. Gliomas account for about half of the central nervous system tumors. Due to its invasive growth and other malignant behaviors, gliomas are difficult to be radically cured; moreover, most of gliomas are difficult to be early detected, even they are discovered, it is difficult to cure them because of their resistance to radiation or chemotherapy. Therefore, developing animal models of human gliomas is essential for us to explore the mechanisms of occurrence and development of brain tumor and promote clinical research. From past to future, the far-sighted men attached and will continue to attach importance to the development of animal models of human gliomas. Judging from the research and development process, human beings have, after a hundred years’ efforts, moved from the development and application of animal models of spontaneous and induced brain tumor to the generation of the experimental platform of various animal models of human brain tumors. Now we are trying to improve the simulation of the animal models to the human diseases. For the human glioma, the early model was the solid tumors formed by directly inoculating in vitro passaged cell lines to animals; then, human glioma tissue were successfully inoculated into animals. In recent years, with the progress of tumor molecular biology, transgenic or gene knockout procedures are used to generate genetic engineering mouse brain tumor model, which meet the requirement of finding the molecular etiology of human brain tumors through specific molecular genetics. After the successful cloning of glioma stem cells, the establishment of animal models retaining the characteristics of glioma stem cells is on the agenda. In short, although we face difficulty building up animal models of brain tumor, we have tried to imitate the models to diseases from the system-cell level to the system-cells -molecular level.

The Regression of Glioblastoma Multiforme is Time Dependent in Wild-Type Rat Xenograft Model

Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive case of primary brain cancer which remains among the most fatal tumors worldwide. Although, some in vitro and in vivo models have been developed for a better understanding of GBM behavior; a natural model of GBM would improve the efficiency of experimental models to human GBM tumors. We aimed at the present study to examine the surviv...

Tumorigenicity of Esophageal Cancer Stem Cells (ECSCs) in nude mouse xenograft model

Background and objectives: Modeling cancer in vivo is a very important tool to investigate cancer pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved in cancer progression. Laboratory mice are the most common animal used for rebuilding human cancer in vivo. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the main reason of failure in cancer therapy because of tumor relapse and metastasis. Isolation of cancer stem cell...

Nanolipoparticles-mediated MDR1 siRNA delivery reduces doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer cells and silences MDR1 expression in xenograft model of human breast cancer

Objective(s): P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux protein, the overexpression of which has been associated with multidrug resistance in various cancers. Although siRNA delivery to reverse P-gp expression may be promising for sensitizing of tumor cells to cytotoxic drugs, the therapeutic use of siRNA requires effective carriers that can deliver siRNA intracellularly with minimal toxicity on targe...

Background: Despite advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment, survival rate of patients suffering from glioblastoma multiform (GBM) has not been significantly improved. Therefore, novel therapeutic adjuncts to routine therapies have been suggested over time. Inhibition of angiogenesis by antiangiogenic drugs is one of the new approaches to inhibit the growth of malignant cells. Microvessel d...
