| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
VEGFR-2 in angiogenesis and VEGFR-3 in lymphangiogenesis are the key players. An anti-DR-5 Ab, the apoptosis inducing antibody, has antitumor effects. Here, we combined anti-DR-5 Ab with VEGFR1-3 inhibitor sunitinib as anti-angiogenic and lymphangiogenic therapies. Mice were injected with 4T1 cells into the footpad and treated with sunitinib and/or anti-DR-5 Ab. The tumors and popliteal lymph nodes were isolated. The growth rate of 4T1 or CT26 tumors was measured. Sunitinib decreased the blood vessel and hypoxic area densities in the tumors, suggesting blood vessel normalization. Sunitinib decreased the amount of tumor injected evans blue and hyaluronic acid in tumors, suggesting better lymphatic flow. The combination increased the ratio of activated dendritic cells and CD8+ T cells in lymph nodes and the numbers of CD8+ and effector CD4+ T cells in tumors compared to controls. The combination decreased the tumor growth rate compared to each mono-therapy.
