2-Hexyl-4-Pentylenic Acid (HPTA) Stimulates the Radiotherapy-induced Abscopal Effect on Distal Tumor through Polarization of Tumor-associated Macrophages / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Objective@#The aim of this study was to explore the effects of 2-hexyl-4-pentylenic acid (HPTA) in combination with radiotherapy (RT) on distant unirradiated breast tumors.@*Methods@#Using a rat model of chemical carcinogen (7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene,DMBA)-induced breast cancer, tumor volume was monitored and treatment response was evaluated by performing HE staining, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, and western blot analyses.@*Results@#The results demonstrated that HPTA in combination with RT significantly delayed the growth of distant, unirradiated breast tumors. The mechanism of action included tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration into distant tumor tissues, M1 polarization, and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by IFN-γ.@*Conclusion@#The results suggest that the combination of HPTA with RT has an abscopal effect on distant tumors

Braquiterapia de tumores sólidos: uso del fosfato crómico coloidal / Brachytherapy of solid tumors: use of chromic phosphate coloid

Con el propósito de evaluar la efectividad de una dosis única de [33P]-Fosfato Crómico (Phosphocol(TM)) para el tratamiento de tumores sólidos, se realizaron estudios de bioeliminación, biodistribución y acción terapéutica en ratas portadoreas de tumores experimentales químicamente inducidos. Los resultados demuestran que el porcentaje de eliminación total es de 29.76 + 9.60 por ciento, siendo la eliminación por vía fecal de 23.28 + 8.81 por ciento y la urinaria de 6.48 + 2.11 por ciento. Los estudios de biodistribución revelan que el 51.61 + 5.82 por ciento de la actividad inyectada se encuentra en el tumor, mientras que en órganos donde existen células reticuloendoteliales, se encontró que el porcentaje de actividad es de 13.09 + 5.15 por ciento en hígado y de 2.88 + 1.23 por ciento en pulmón. Por otra parte, los estudios de acción terapéutica demuestran que el porcentaje de regresión tumoral (P.R.T.) es de 61.0 por ciento para los tumores inyectados. Cabe destacar que 4 de los animales tratados mostraron perfiles de bioeliminación, en los cuales, la misma aumentó abruptamente en algún momento del estudio. Estos resultados demuestran que no es recomendable el uso de este tipo de coloides en el tratamiento de tumores sólidos con moderado grado de vascularización, debido a que puede existir movilización del mismo y en consecuencia iradiación de otros órganos no afectados al tratamiento.

Great particles (32P) chromic phosphate for treatment of solid tumors

With the purpose studying the effectivity of an intratumoral single dose of chromic [(32)P] phosphate with great particles for the treatment of solid tumors, studies of biolimination, biodistribution and therapeutic action were carried out. Only for comparative purpose, similar studies were undertaken using a solution of sodium [(32)P] orthophosphategelatine. The results show that when sodium [(32)P] orthophosphategelatine is used, the percentage of total elimination is (85.90+8,70) per cent with a higler percentage in urine (64.50+13.70) per cent than in faeces (21.40+4.50) per cent. In biodistribution studies, the greater percentage is found in bone (15.54+2.21) per cent while only a (2.51+0.39) per cent remains in the tumor. When great particles chromic [(32)P] phosphate was intratumorally injected, we determined that the total elimination is equal (36.28+6.27) per cent, finding a higler amount in faeces (29.44+5.26) per cent than in urine (6.84+2.21) per cent. Biodistribution studies demonstrated that (49.82+5.41) per cent remains in the tumor and (9.63+4.89) per cent of the injected activity is found in the liver. On the other hand, when therapeutic action was evoluted, we observed that the percentage of tumor regression (P.T.R) is 52.0 per cent for the tumors injected with chromic [(32)P] phosphate and 0.0 per cent for those injected with sodium [(32)P] orthophosphate-gelatine. These results show that the great particles colloid of chromic [(32)P] phosphate is not safe enough for the tratment of solid tumors, since it is mobilezed from the injection point, delivering a high dose to the whole organism.
