Abstract

We investigated the effect of nitroglycerin with metformin on fibrosarcoma in hamsters. Syrian golden hamsters of both sexes, weighing approximately 60 g, were randomly allocated to control and experimental groups, with 8 animals per group. In all groups, 2 × 106 BHK-21/C13 cells in 1 ml were injected subcutaneously into the animals’ backs. Peroral treatment carried out with nitroglycerin 25 mg/kg daily, or with metformin 500 mg/kg daily, or with a combination of nitroglycerin 25 mg/kg and metformin 500 mg/kg daily. Later validation experiments were conducted with double doses of the single therapy and additional rescue doses of mebendazole 460 mg/kg daily, via a gastric probe after tumor inoculation. After 2 weeks, when the tumors were approximately 2−3 cm in the control group, all animals were sacrificed. Blood samples were collected for hematological and biochemical analyses, the tumors were excised and weighed, and their diameters and volumes were measured. The tumor samples were pathohistologically and immunohistochemically assessed for proliferation marker protein Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen PCNA, hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen CD34, cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31), cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 (COX4), mitochondria marker Cytochrome C, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and the main organs were toxicologically tested. The Ki-67 and PCNA positivity and the cytoplasmic marker (CD34, CD31, COX4, Cytochrome C, GLUT1, iNOS) immunoexpression in the tumor samples were quantified. The combination of nitroglycerin and metformin significantly inhibited fibrosarcoma growth in hamsters without toxicity, compared to monotherapy or control. The results were validated and confirmed in the subsequently accomplished experiment with doubled doses of the single drug therapy and in the rescue experiment with addition of mebendazole. The single treatments did not show significant antisarcoma effect, regardless of the dose. Co-treatment with mebendazole inhibited anticancer activity of the nitroglycerin and metformin combination. Mebendazole rescued tumor progression suppressed by the combination of nitroglycerin and metformin. Administration of nitroglycerin with metformin might be an effective and safe approach in novel nontoxic adjuvant and relapse prevention anticancer treatment.
