[0078] buffer A (400mM NaCl, 20mM PB, pH7.5), buffer B (1000mM NaCl, 20mM PB, pH7.5); physiological saline.

[0079] The transgenic goat milk of recombinant human lactoferrin (purchased from Shanghai Transgenic Research Center) was determined to contain about 40-66 g of human lactoferrin and a small amount of about 0.05-0.12 g of goat lactoferrin per liter of goat milk.

[0080] 1.2 Method

[0081] 1.2.1 Degreasing:

[0082] Take 20 mL of transgenic goat milk highly expressing recombinant human lactoferrin, and degrease the goat milk as follows: centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 30 min, and filter with 4 layers of gauze to obtain the filtrate.

[0083] 1.2.2 Cheese off:

[0084] Mix the filtrate with 20mL 800mM NaCl (40mM PB, pH7.5), adjust the pH to 4.6 with concentrated hydrochloric acid; after incubating at 40°C for 30min, centrifug...

Embodiment 3

[0114] Example 3 Recombinant human lactoferrin inhibits the growth of mouse melanoma lung metastases

[0115] In order to further study the activity of lactoferrin in inhibiting tumor metastasis in animals, in this example, the mouse melanoma B16F10 lung metastasis model was used to evaluate the activity of lactoferrin in inhibiting tumor metastasis, colonization and growth in vivo.

[0116] 1 Materials and methods

[0117] 1.1 Experimental animals

[0118] Animal source: C57BL / 6 mice, provided by the Experimental Animal Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences (Experimental Animal Production License: SCXK (Army))

Abstract

The invention provides the usage of lactoferrin in prevention and treatment of tumor metastasis. Particularly, the invention provides the usage of the lactoferrin in preparation of a medicine for preventing or inhibiting tumor metastasis or tumor cell migration. The pharmacology experiment in the invention proves that the human lactoferrin has good prevention and treatment effects for the tumor metastasis, so that metastasis, colonization and growth of malignant tumors such as mouse melanoma and the like can be obviously inhibited.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medicine, especially the fields of biological pharmacy and tumor treatment. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preventing and inhibiting tumor metastasis by administering human lactoferrin or a composition combined with other anticancer drugs. Background technique [0002] Lactoferrin (Lactoferrin, LF) is a multifunctional basic glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80KD, which mainly exists in mammalian exocrine fluids (such as: milk, tears, sweat, saliva, semen, etc.) and neutrophils . LF is abundant in human milk, the content in colostrum can reach 7g / L, and the content in mature milk decreases and tends to be balanced, usually at the level of 1g / L. [0003] Since LF was first isolated from cow's milk in 1939, its biological activities such as promoting the absorption and delivery of iron in the body, antibacterial, antiviral infection, and regulating the body's immunity h...
