Research Abstract |
We have developed a novel treatment strategy against tumor vascular endothelium using nanosize particle encapsulated rapamycin. Inhibiting the signaling PDGF-AA/PDGFRα/p70S6K, the tumor angiogenesis was remarkably restricted, which result in significant antitumor effect. The same observation was recognized in vivo analysis of subcutaneous colon tumor model and liver metastatic colon tumor model. These drug delivery system, using PLGA nanosize particle which affect tumor ischemic region suggested that it might be possible to break out the paradigm of anti-angiogenic treatment. To conduct a clinical test, we have a plan to produce nanosize particle based on Good Manufacturing Practice and to perform a clinical safety study.
