Dear all, I hope you are well!

I would like to know how to calculate the optimal dose of human breast cancer cells to inject into female Wistar rats for testing the anticancer effect of a plant in vivo.

Also, I am slightly confused about using ethanolic extract (especially as ethanolic extract has shown anti-inflammatory activity and no toxicity in mice and is anticancerous in vitro) versus aqueous extract (based on traditional use).

Optimizing the dose of human breast cancer cells for in vivo testing in female Wistar rats involves considerations such as tumor establishment, growth kinetics, and animal welfare. Here's a general approach to optimizing the cell dose for in vivo experiments:

Establishment of Tumor Model:Select an appropriate human breast cancer cell line that is relevant to the research question and has been characterized for its tumorigenic potential in animal models. Determine the route of cell inoculation for tumor establishment. Common routes include subcutaneous (SC), orthotopic (in mammary fat pad), or metastatic (intravenous, intracardiac) injection, depending on the experimental goals.

Pilot Studies:Conduct pilot studies to assess the tumorigenic potential and growth kinetics of the selected breast cancer cell line in female Wistar rats. Inoculate rats with different cell doses (e.g., 1 × 10^6, 5 × 10^6, 1 × 10^7 cells per rat) and monitor tumor growth over time by palpation or imaging techniques such as caliper measurements or bioluminescence imaging. Assess tumor take rate, latency period, growth rate, and final tumor size for each cell dose.

Tumor Growth Kinetics:Analyze the growth kinetics of tumors derived from different cell doses to determine the optimal cell dose for consistent tumor growth within a reasonable timeframe. Calculate tumor volume doubling time and assess the correlation between cell dose and tumor growth rate.

Ethical Considerations and Animal Welfare:Consider ethical considerations and animal welfare when determining the optimal cell dose. Avoid using excessively high cell doses that may lead to rapid tumor growth, excessive tumor burden, or compromised animal welfare. Ensure that the selected cell dose allows for the establishment of tumors that are biologically and clinically relevant to human breast cancer.

Statistical Analysis:Perform statistical analysis to compare tumor growth characteristics (e.g., tumor volume, tumor weight) between different cell doses and determine statistically significant differences. Use appropriate statistical tests such as t-tests or ANOVA followed by post-hoc tests for multiple comparisons.

Reproducibility and Consistency:Ensure reproducibility and consistency of tumor growth across multiple experiments by repeating the experiments with the selected optimal cell dose. Validate the findings by comparing tumor growth characteristics between independent experiments.

Validation of Tumor Model:Validate the established tumor model by histological analysis, molecular profiling, or functional assays to confirm its similarity to human breast cancer and its suitability for preclinical studies.

By following these steps and considering factors such as tumor growth kinetics, animal welfare, and experimental reproducibility, you can optimize the dose of human breast cancer cells for in vivo testing in female Wistar rats. This optimization process is essential for generating reliable and relevant data for preclinical research and drug development studies.
