Systemic anthrax lethal toxin therapy produces regressions of subcutaneous human melanoma tumors in athymic nude mice.
PURPOSE Anthrax Lethal Toxin (LeTx), composed of protective antigen and lethal factor, catalytically cleaves mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinases and inhibits the MAPK signaling pathways. The majority of metastatic melanomas possess the V599E BRAF mutation, which constitutively activates MAPK1/2 signaling. LeTx is cytotoxic to BRAF mutant melanoma cell lines in vitro, whereas most no...
متن کاملSystematic urokinase-activated anthrax toxin therapy produces regressions of subcutaneous human non-small cell lung tumor in athymic nude mice.
The novel recombinant anthrax toxin, PrAgU2/FP59, composed of the urokinase-activated protective antigen and a fusion protein of Pseudomonas exotoxin and lethal factor was tested for anti-lung cancer efficacy in an in vivo human tumor model. Male athymic nude mice (age 4-6 weeks) were inoculated s.c. with 10 million H1299 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in the left flank. When tumor vo...
متن کاملInterstitial diphtheria toxin-epidermal growth factor fusion protein therapy produces regressions of subcutaneous human glioblastoma multiforme tumors in athymic nude mice.
PURPOSE The novel fusion protein, DAB389EGF, composed of the catalytic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin (DAB389) fused with a His-Ala linker to human epidermal growth factor (EGF) was tested for antiglioma efficacy in an in vivo model of human glioma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Female athymic nude mice (ages 4-6 weeks) were inoculated s.c. with 10 million U87MG human glioma cells in the...
متن کاملChemotherapy of subcutaneous and intracranial human medulloblastoma xenografts in athymic nude mice.
The continuous human medulloblastoma cell line TE-671 was grown as s.c. and intracranial xenografts in athymic nude mice. Tumor-bearing animals were treated with chemotherapeutic agents at the 10% lethal dose; s.c. xenografts were sensitive to melphalan, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(2,6-dioxo-1-piperidyl)-1-nitrosourea, and 5-azacytidine. No consistent response could be demonstrated to 9-beta-D-arabino...
متن کاملHeterotransplantation of human choroidal melanoma into the athymic "nude" mouse.
The investigation of the structure and behavior of malignant melanoma of the uveal tract in man has been limited by the lack of a ready source of human tumor and an animal model in which the tumor resembles that in the human choroid. We now report the observation that fresh surgical specimens of human choroidal melanoma can be successfully transplanted into the posterior segment of the "nude" m...
