Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been suggested that exercise may change the immune cell dynamics in an individual's body, and it is thought that by studying the relationship between exercise and immunity, new immunotherapeutic targets can be explored. In this study, we investigated the regulatory mechanism of cell dynamics by analyzing the effect of combined exercise on the effect of immuno-cell therapy in a cancer-bearing mouse model. We succeeded in constructing an experimental system in which tumor growth is suppressed by exercise, and it was suggested that it is more effective to exercise for a short period of time multiple times with an interval than for long-term continuous exercise. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the tumor suppressive effect can be observed depending on the tumor position even by electrical stimulation of the muscle.
