| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A subcutaneous tumor model using a glioma cell line (RSV-M) was prepared for C3H / HeN mice and oral administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) was performed, and tumor growth suppression was confirmed. 5-ALA inhibited the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, which was an immunosuppressive factor in macrophages, and the expression of PGE2 synthetases COX-2 and mPGES-1 was suppressed. When macrophages treated with 5-ALA were co-cultured with RSV-M, the cytotoxic activity was confirmed in a 5-ALA concentration-dependent manner. 5-ALA released the immune escape mechanism of macrophages by PGE2, resulting in anti-glioma effect.
