High dose concentration administration of ascorbic acid inhibits tumor growth in BALB/C mice implanted with sarcoma 180 cancer cells via the restriction of angiogenesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>To test the carcinostatic effects of ascorbic acid, we challenged the mice of seven experimental groups with 1.7 × 10<sup>-4 </sup>mol high dose concentration ascorbic acid after intraperitoneal administrating them with sarcoma S-180 cells. The surviv...

description <p>Abstract</p> <p>To test the carcinostatic effects of ascorbic acid, we challenged the mice of seven experimental groups with 1.7 × 10<sup>-4 </sup>mol high dose concentration ascorbic acid after intraperitoneal administrating them with sarcoma S-180 cells. The survival rate was increased by 20% in the group that received high dose concentration ascorbic acid, compared to the control. The highest survival rate was observed in the group in which 1.7 × 10<sup>-4 </sup>mol ascorbic acid had been continuously injected before and after the induction of cancer cells, rather than just after the induction of cancer cells. The expression of three angiogenesis-related genes was inhibited by 0.3 times in bFGF, 7 times in VEGF and 4 times in MMP2 of the groups with higher survival rates. Biopsy Results, gene expression studies, and wound healing analysis <it>in vivo </it>and <it>in vitro </it>suggested that the carcinostatic effect induced by high dose concentration ascorbic acid occurred through inhibition of angiogenesis.</p>
