OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the antitumor effect of the coincident administration of intravesical gemcitabine (Gem) plus bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in an orthotopic bladder cancer model.
METHODS: We evaluated the cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine against MBT-2 cells in vitro. Orthotopic tumors were established by implanting MBT-2 cells into the bladder of syngeneic female C3H mice. Intravesical Gem administration was evaluated at various doses: 0 mg (control); 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg (n = 8 for each group). Next, a comparative evaluation of tumor growth among the control, Gem-alone, BCG-alone, and combined Gem + BCG groups was performed (n = 16 for each group). Therapy was administered at 3-day intervals starting on day 5 and repeated 6 times. To evaluate the proliferative activity among the groups, Ki-67 immunostaining of the tumor was performed.
RESULTS: Gemcitabine exhibited a dose-dependent antitumor effect. Of the 8 mice in each group treated with a dose of 0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 mg of Gem, 1, 4, 4, 4, 5, and 4 mice failed to develop tumors and survived, respectively. The combination of Gem + BCG (54.1 ± 9.4 days) provided a significant survival advantage compared with BCG-alone (39.0 ± 16.4 days) (P = .02). Ki-67 expression, representing tumor proliferation, was significantly lower in the combined Gem + BCG group than in the BCG-alone group (P < .01).
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that intravesical Gem + BCG treatment induces an enhanced antitumor effect against bladder tumors.
