چکیده
Our study was aimed to characterize the phenotype and functional endpoints of local microwave hyperthermia (LHT, 42 degrees C) on tumor infiltrating and spleen leukocytes. The effectiveness of LHT applied into the tumor of B16F10 melanoma-bearing C57/BL6 mice was compared with anesthetized and non-treated animals. Subpopulations of leukocytes were analyzed using the flow cytometry, and the cytotoxic activity of splenocytes against syngeneic B16F10 melanoma and NK-sensitive YAC-1 tumor cell lines was evaluated in (51)Cr-release assay. Similarly, the in vitro modification of the heat treatment was performed using healthy and melanoma-bearing splenocytes. We found a 40 % increase of activated monocytes (CD11b+CD69+) infiltration into the tumor microenvironment. In the spleen of experimental animals, the numbers of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs-CD3+CD8+) and NK cell (CD49b+NK1.1+) raised by 22 % and 14 %, respectively, while the NK1.1+ monocytes decreases by 37 %. This was accompanied by an enhancement of cytotoxic effector function against B16F10 and YAC-1 targets in both in vivo and in vitro conditions. These results demonstrate that LHT induces better killing of syngeneic melanoma targets. Furthermore, LHT evokes the homing of activated monocytes into the tumor microenvironment and increases the counts of NK cells and CTL in the spleen.

Radiosensitizing effect of withaferin A combined with hyperthermia on mouse fibrosarcoma and melanoma.
The effect of withaferin A, a plant withanolide, alone or in combination with acute and fractionated radiotherapy and/or hyperthermia, was tested on two mouse tumors, B16F1 melanoma and fibrosarcoma, grown in C57BL and Swiss albino mice, respectively. Tumors were exposed locally to 30 or 50 Gy gamma radiation as acute dose, or 5 fractions of 10 Gy. Withaferin A, 40 mg/kg, was injected intraperi...
متن کاملEffect of Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia on Implanted Melanoma in Mouse Models
Background: Nowadays, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have received much attention because of their enormous potentials in many fields such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). The goal of hyperthermia is to increase the temperature of malignant cells to destroy them without any lethal effect on normal tissues. To investigate the effectiveness of cancer therapy by magnetic fluid hyperthermia, Fe...
متن کاملThe application of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles in the photo-thermal therapy of melanoma cancer model
Objective(s): Photo-thermal therapy (PTT) is a therapeutic method in which photon energy is converted into heat to induce hyperthermia in malignant tumor cells. In this method, energy conversion is performed by nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance induced heat efficacy. The low-cytotoxicity and high optical absorbance of NPs used in this technique are very important. In the present study, titanium di...
متن کاملEffects of local tumor hyperthermia on the growth of solid mouse tumors.
The sensitivity to local tumor hyperthermia (43 degrees, 60 min) of a spectrum of eight different solid mouse tumors (Lewis lung carcinoma, M5076 ovarian carcinoma, colon carcinoma 38, colon carcinoma 26, mammary adenocarcinoma C3HBA, mammary adenocarcinoma 16C, glioma 26, and B16 melanoma) was investigated. A microwave (2.45-GHz) apparatus produced localized heating of the tumors without gener...
