30 results about "B16 melanoma" patented technology

B16 melanoma is a murine tumor cell line used for research as a model for human skin cancers. B16 cells are useful models for the study of metastasis and solid tumor formation, and were one of the first effective murine tools for metastasis research.

Methods and compositions to enhance vaccine efficacy by reprogramming regulatory t cells

The immunoregulatory enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed by a subset of murine plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) in tumor-draining LNs, where it can potently activate Foxp3 regulatory T cells (Tregs). We now show that IDO functions as a molecular switch in tumor-draining LNs, maintaining Tregs in their normal suppressive phenotype when IDO was active, but allowing inflammation-induced conversion of Tregs to a polyfunctional T-helper phenotype similar to proinflammatory TH17 cells when IDO was blocked. In vitro, conversion of Tregs to the TH17-like phenotype was driven by antigen-activated effector T cells, and required IL-6 produced by activated pDCs. IDO regulated this conversion by dominantly suppressing production of IL-6 in pDCs, in a GCN2-kinase dependent fashion. In vivo, using a model of established B16 melanoma, the combination of an IDO-inhibitor drug plus anti-tumor vaccine caused upregulation of IL-6 in pDCs and in situ conversion of a majority of Tregs to the TH17 phenotype, with marked enhancement of CD8+ T cell activation and anti-tumor efficacy. Thus, Tregs in tumor-draining LNs can be actively re-programmed in vitro and in vivo into T-helper cells, without the need for physical depletion, and IDO serves as a key regulator of this critical conversion.

The invention discloses application of A-nor-5 alpha-androstane compounds in preparation of malignant tumor resistant medicaments. The compounds have the following general formula I, and comprise Ia, Ib, Ic, Id, Ie and If. The growth inhibition rate of the A-nor-5 alpha-androstane compounds for in-vitro human liver cancer cell Hep 3B, human breast cancer MDA-MB-231, human lung adenocarcinoma A549 and mouse melanoma B16 is higher than 85% on average, and even up to 99.98% to the maximum. The in-vivo test proves that the inhibition rate of the A-nor-5 alpha-androstane compounds for mouse tumors, such as intestinal cancer C26, liver cancer H22, Lewis lung cancer, breast cancer, B16 melanoma and the like, is higher than 50% on average, and even up to 63.19% to the maximum. The result proves that the compounds disclosed by the invention have an obvious malignant tumor resistant action. The A-nor-5 alpha-androstane compounds disclosed by the invention have an obvious and broad-spectrum action on inhibiting growth of malignant tumor cells, and are novel targeted malignant tumor resistant medicaments with low drug toxicity and favorable treatment effect; and the A-nor-5 alpha-androstane compounds just specifically act on tumor cells, but not influence normal cells, thereby having a high clinical application value.

(S,R)-3-phenyl-4,5 dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid-nitric oxide and use thereof as anti-cancer and antiviral agent

The present invention relates to an isoxazole derivative, the compound of formula (I)herein after referred to as GIT27-NO, which is the NO-donating structurally modified form of (S,R)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxazole acetic acid, herein after referred to as VGX-1027. Treatment of three tumor cell lines, rat astrocytoma C6, mouse fibrosarcoma L929, and mouse melanoma B16 cells with GIT27-NO resulted in a significant reduction of cell respiration and of number of viable cells, while VGX-1027 was completely ineffective. Hemoglobin, which act as NO-scavenger, restored cell viability, thus indicating the NO-mediated tumoricidal effect of compound (I). GIT27-NO triggered apoptotic cell death in L929 cell cultures, while autophagic cell death is mainly responsible for the diminished viability of C6 and B16 cells. Moreover, GIT27-NO induced the production of reactive oxygen species which can be neutralized by antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), indicating that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are at least partly involved in the reduction of cell viability. The anti-tumor activity of GIT27-NO is mediated through activation of MAP kinases (ERK1 / 2, p38 and JNK) in cell-specific manner. The role of MAP kinases was further confirmed by specific inhibitors of these molecules, PD98059, SB202190, and SP600125. Finally, in vivo treatment with GIT27-NO significantly reduced tumor growth in syngeneic C57BL / 6 mice implanted with B16 melanoma.

Construction of double-gene co-expression plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.2 and application of double-gene co-expression plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.2 to radiation-combined tumor resisting

The invention provides construction of a double-gene co-expression plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.2 and an application of the double-gene co-expression plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.2 to radiation-combined tumor resisting. According to the tumor gene-radiotherapy theory and the radiation induction expression characteristics of Egr-1 genes, the double-gene co-expression plasmid pEgr-IL18-B7.2 is constructed on the basis of B7.2 genes of a clone mouse. IL18 genes with the anti-tumor effect and costimulatory-molecule B7-2 genes are transferred into tumor cells through double-gene carriers; the construction and the application further prove that low-dosage radiation can induce radiation-sensitive promoters, and therefore the finer-control effect is achieved on multi-gene expression; radiation-induced double-gene expression shows a certain time-interval and dose-effect rule. According to a test, the constructed double-gene plasmid is further injected into a tumor body of a B16 melanoma transplanted to the mouse, local radiotherapy is carried out in cooperation, and the tumor inhibiting effect more remarkable than that of pure radiotherapy is shown, and preliminary discussion is made for possible mechanisms in the immunology aspect.
