Abstract: Objective: Cancer stromal fibroblasts are important members of the cancer microenvironment. In this study, we determined the effect of sunitinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the primary human colonic fibroblasts. Methods: Cell cycle analysis and cell proliferation assays were performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of sunitinib in vitro. Western-blot analysis was performed to evaluate variations in the levels of phosphorylated platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFR-β), Akt, and ERK proteins. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibroblasts in nude mice was employed to test anti-growth efficacy in vivo. Results: Sunitinib was found to effectively inhibit the growth of primary colonic fibroblasts. Low-dose sunitinib blocked the PDGF-BB-induced cell proliferation and PDGFR-β signaling. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibroblasts in nude mice generated greater tumor volumes than single injection of SW620 cells. Sunitinib treatment inhibited the SW620 cell+colonic fibroblast tumor growth more effectively than treatment of 5-fluorouracil. Conclusions: sunitinib mesylate inhibited the proliferation of primary human colonic fibroblasts through target-inhibited PDGFR signaling in vitro and in vivo.

舒尼替尼对结肠成纤维细胞体内外抑制机制研究

研究目的：探索小分子酪氨酸激酶抑制剂舒尼替尼（sunitinib）对结肠肿瘤微环境中的肿瘤相关成纤维细胞的作用及其机制。
创新要点：舒尼替尼通过抑制肿瘤间质成纤维细胞的生长，间接发挥抗肿瘤效应，为结肠癌综合治疗的提供新途径。
研究方法：通过细胞周期分析和细胞增殖测定进行舒尼替尼体外抑制肿瘤细胞的研究。采用Western-blot检测磷酸化血小板衍生生长因子β受体（PDGFR-β）、蛋白激酶B（Akt）及细胞外信号调节蛋白激酶（ERK）的蛋白水平。通过注射肠腺癌细胞株SW620和结肠成纤维细胞构建的裸鼠移植瘤模型来研究舒尼替尼的体内抑瘤效果。
重要结论：舒尼替尼可有效抑制结肠癌来源的原代结肠成纤维细胞生长，该抑制作用主要通过抑制血小板衍生生长因子（PDGF）信号通路得以实现。
