EVALUATION IN A MOUSE PROSTATE CANCER XENOGRAFT MODEL OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE METRONOMIC REGIMEN

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate in a mouse prostate cancer xenograft model the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide metronomic regimen, as single agent or in combination with standard docetaxel therapy. We used a human prostate cancer cell line to establish tumours in mice and we treated the animals with the combination of 50 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (per os) and 30 or 10 mg/kg of docetaxel (intraperitoneally) or with the two drugs alone. We found that metronomic cyclophosphamide alone is as efficient as docetaxel in blocking tumor growth (respectively 18% and 21% of the tumor volume reached by control group in 25 days of treatment). Immunohistochemical analysis on tumours and in vitro proliferation and FACS analyses revealed that cyclophosphamide acts downregulating cell proliferation, both in vitro and in vivo. Through microarray analysis we found the upregulation of p21 that probably together with an action on the micro-environment may explain the induction of apoptosis seen in tumor xenografts. Moreover, we found 107 genes differentially expressed upon treatment with the active metabolite of cyclophosphamide and associated with functions such as cellular movement, growth, and proliferation. Cells (2 x 10^6) were seeded in T150 flasks and then treated with vehicle (ctrl), with inactive cyclophosphamide (trt) or with 5.5 M-NM-

Project description:Analysis of the effect of cyclophosphamide on peripheral blood leukocyte gene expression. Certain chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy because of their capacity to modulate innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, it has been argued that this capacity may be more significant to chemotherapeutic efficacy in general than is presently appreciated. To gain insights into the core mechanisms of chemoimmunotherapy, we methodically profiled the effects of cyclophosphamide on gene expression in bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood, and on cytokine expression in plasma and bone marrow of tumor-bearing mice. Gene and protein expression were modulated early and transiently by cyclophosphamide, leading to upregulation of a variety of immunomodulatory factors, including danger signals, pattern recognition receptors, inflammatory mediators, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and chemokine receptors. These factors are involved in sensing cyclophosphamide myelotoxicity and activating repair mechanisms, which, in turn, stimulate immunoactivation events that promote efficacy. In particular, cyclophosphamide induced a T helper 17 (Th17)-related gene signature associated with an increase in Th17, Th1 and activated CD25+CD4+Foxp3- T lymphocytes and a slight recovery of regulatory T-cells. By analyzing gene and protein expression kinetics and their relationship to the antitumor efficacy of different therapeutic schedules of combination, we determined that optimal timing for performing adoptive immunotherapy is approximately 1 day after cyclophosphamide treatment. Together, our findings highlight factors that may propel the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy, offering a mechanistic glimpse of the important immune modulatory effects of cyclophosphamide Four-condition experiment, Untreated mice - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 1 day - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 2 days - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 5 days. Biological replicates: 4, controls: 4, independently harvested. Two replicates per array.
