Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the production of ascitic fluid associated with malignant tumor growth. In an experimental model for malignant ascites formation, mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with syngeneic mouse sarcoma tumor cells. Ascites development was not prevented by administering tumor necrosis factor (TNF) simultaneously with the tumor cell inoculation. When the malignant ascites was first drained and renewal of ascites was monitored, however, a TNF dose-dependent inhibition of ascitic fluid accumulation was observed. Northern blot analyses indicated transient downregulation by TNF on the expression of VEGF mRNA in tumor cells. Monoclonal antibody, (mAb) DC101 generated against the mouse VEGF receptor Flk-1 prevented the recurrence of malignant ascites in mice similar to TNF inhibition. In addition, exogenous soluble human Flt-1 used as an inhibitor of endogenous VEGF binding also inhibited ascites recurrence. These data demonstrate that the observed inhibitory effect of TNF on reestablishment of malignant ascites can be achieved equally by inhibition of the interaction of VEGF with its receptor Flk-1.
