Aprotinin and growth of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma in the rat. 1977

A W Thomson, and R G Pugh-Humphreys, and C H Horne, and D J Tweedle

Growth of the Walker 256 carcinosarcoma implanted within various sites in Spraque-Dawley rats was investigated in animals receiving twice daily i.p. injections of the antiprotease aprotinin. Although administration of aprotinin partially attenuated the growth and lethality of i.p. tumour, no effect of aprotinin was found on intramuscular tumour development. Furthermore, we were unable to demonstrate unequivocal growth inhibition by aprotinin of lung tumour colonies from i.v. injection of tumour cells. Histological examination of intramuscular and pulmonary tumours revealed little evidence of host cellular immune response in either saline- or aprotinin-treated rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007611 Aprotinin A single-chain polypeptide derived from bovine tissues consisting of 58 amino-acid residues. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes including CHYMOTRYPSIN; KALLIKREIN; PLASMIN; and TRYPSIN. It is used in the treatment of HEMORRHAGE associated with raised plasma concentrations of plasmin. It is also used to reduce blood loss and transfusion requirements in patients at high risk of major blood loss during and following open heart surgery with EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION.
