Research Abstract |
We developed the novel formulation of Hemagglutinating Virus of Japan (HVJ-E) and Glycol Chitosan. This formulation will activate the anti-tumor immunity, and it is easy to add this formulation to the following fiber mesh sheet. Then, we developed the novel nano-fiber sheet including PNIPAAm derivatives, anti-cancer drug, and magnetic substance. We can do the thermal therapy in the cancer treatment by adding the alternating magnetic field. Additionally, we control the drug release from this fiber by turning ON the switch of alternating magnetic field. In the cytotoxicitic assay, this fiber with magnetic field revealed high cytotoxicic activity against human mesothelioma, melanoma, and lung cancer cells. In vivo experiments, this fiber with magnetic field made tumor-bearing mice high body temperature (42-43 degree), and this fiber revealed anti-tumor effect. We expected to achieve the multimodal therapy for the intractable cancer by novel fiber and the alternating magnetic field.
