Research Abstract |
Cutaneous angiosarcoma is a malignant skin tumor with a high mortality rate despite the currently available therapeutic protocols. Inactivated, replication-defective Sendai virus particles(HVJ-E) have been shown to have a powerful anti-tumor effect. We aimed to establish a novel therapeutic tool for anigiosarcoma with HVJ-E, IL-2 gene, and/or sunitinib. HVJ-E significantly inhibited tumor growth of angiosarcoma in vivo. HVJ-E-containing murine IL-2 gene resulted in an even more significant inhibition of tumor growth than HVJ-E alone. Anti-tumor effects of HVJ-E were associated with an increase of CD8(+) cells and NK cells, and a decrease of Tregs. Sunitinib inhibits cell growth of ISOS-1 cells in vitro and in vivo. The combination of the HVJ-E and Sunitinib resulted in an even more significant inhibition of tumor growth than HVJ-E alone.
