MATERIALS AND METHODS
TNBC xenograft mice were established using MDA-MB-231 cells. When tumors reached ~100 mm3, the primary tumor was resected. Mice were then randomly assigned to four groups (n = 14): (i) saline, (ii) morphine (10 mg kg-1) (iii) morphine + ketorolac (10 mg kg-1 of morphine and 20 mg kg-1 of ketorolac) (iv) ketorolac (20 mg kg-1); administrated for three consecutive days after resection. Three weeks after resection, the number of lung metastases was measured. Microvessel density, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and c-Myc expression in recurrent tumors were determined. To elucidate the above phenomenon in vitro, MDA-MB-231 cells were treated according to the regiment above; with or without supplementation of an AKT inhibitor to determine the activation of PI3K/AKT/c-Myc pathway.
