Outline of Final Research Achievements

We tried to develop new treatments that cause the abscopal effect by combining OK-432 with hepatic artery embolization therapy or cryotherapy. The verification of hepatic arterial embolization with the emulsion of OK-432 and lipiodol was abandoned because selective hepatic artery embolization of rabbits resulted in unexpectedly large infarction, and immunostimulation could not be expected. We have developed a simple freezing system for animal experiments and confirmed its cooling performance. Using the freezing system, we performed the combination therapy of OK-432 local injection and cryotherapy on the rabbit VX2 liver and subcutaneous tumor models, but the abscopal effect could not be confirmed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で動物実験用に作成し冷却性能を確認した凍結システムは、簡便に作成し凍結療法を行うことができる。これを用いることにより、臨床応用の拡大が期待されている凍結療法に関して、今後さらなる探索的実験を進めることが可能となった。また、ウサギ肝動脈は容易に攣縮が生じてヒトでのTAEと異なり比較的強い塞栓となることがわかり、ウサギ肝臓を用いた経血管インターベンション実験を行っていくうえでの課題が判明した。
