Popis: Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are considered promising novel therapies capable of increasing the effcacy of prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. The purpose of the study was to obtain and characterize TRAMP-C2 subcutaneous and ascite-solid models of prostate cancer in C57Bl/6j mice to study specifc anti-tumor activity of the candidate molecules of targeted drugs and adjust immunotherapy strategies in an evidence-based manner. Material and Methods. We used cultured TRAMP-C2 cells in subcutaneous and ascites mouse prostate cancer models. Histological and immunohistochemical methods were used to study the tumor tissues. Results. The high in vivo growth ability of TRAMP-C2 cells was demonstrated in subcutaneous and intraperitoneal inoculation of C57Bl/6j mice. These tumors are characterized by a high reproducibility and level of PSMA expression. Histological study showed that subcutaneous and carcinomatous TRAMP-C2 tumor nodules had solid structure morphologically corresponding to low differentiated neoplasm, cytomorphological analysis of smears showed that peritoneal fuid containd a large number of rounded tumor cells, macrophages and erythrocytes. Conclusion. The obtained subcutaneous and ascite-solid models of TRAMP-C2 can be useful for the development of new ways to effectively treat cancer, including targeted and immunotherapy, as well as for the experimental study of biotherapeutic effects using PSMA as a target, and photoinduced effects.
