Combined Inhibition of Indolamine-2,3-Dioxygenase 1 and C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 2 Exerts Antitumor Effects in a Preclinical Model of Cervical Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Cervical cancer is a public health problem diagnosed in advanced stages, and its main risk factor is persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection. Today, it is necessary to study new treatment strategies, such as immunotherapy, that use different targets of the tumor microenvironment. In this study, the K14E7E2 mouse was used as a cervical cancer model to evaluate the inhibition of indolamine-2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO-1) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 2 (CXCR-2) as potential anti-tumor targets. DL-1MT and SB225002 were administered for 30 days in two regimens (R1 and R2) based on combination and single therapy approaches to inhibit IDO-1 and CXCR-2, respectively. Subsequently, the reproductive tracts were resected and analyzed to determine the tumor areas, and IHCs were performed to
