Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a recalcitrant disease in need of transformative therapeutics.
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of tumor-selective Salmonella typhimurium A1-R combined with tumor metabolism targeting with oral administration of recombinant methioninase (o-rMETase), on an ES patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model.
The ES PDOX models were previously established in the right chest wall. The ES PDOX models were randomized into 5 groups when the tumor volume reached 80 mm3: G1: untreated control; G2: doxorubicin; G3: S. typhimurium A1-R; G4: o-rMETase; G5: S. typhimurium A1-R combined with o-rMETase. All mice were sacrificed on day 15. Body weight and tumor volume were assessed twice a week.
S. typhimurium A1-R and o-rMETase respectively suppressed tumor growth as monotherapies (p = 0.050 and p = 0.032). S. typhimurium A1-R combined with o-rMETase regressed tumor growth significantly compared to untreated group on day 15 (p < 0.032). S. typhimurium A1-R combined with o-rMETase group was significantly more effective than S. typhimurium A1-R or o-rMETase monotherapy (p = 0.032, p = 0.032).
The present results suggest that the combination of S. typhimurium A1-R and o-rMETase has promise to be a transformative therapy for ES.
尤因氏肉瘤(ES)是一种需要变革性治疗的难治性疾病。
本研究旨在探讨肿瘤选择性鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 与口服重组甲硫氨酸酶(o-rMETase)联合靶向肿瘤代谢对 ES 患者来源的原位异种移植(PDOX)模型的疗效。
ES PDOX 模型先前在右胸壁建立。当肿瘤体积达到 80mm3 时,ES PDOX 模型随机分为 5 组:G1:未治疗对照;G2:多柔比星;G3:鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R;G4:o-rMETase;G5:鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 联合 o-rMETase。所有小鼠均在第 15 天处死。每周两次评估体重和肿瘤体积。
鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 和 o-rMETase 分别作为单药治疗抑制肿瘤生长(p=0.050 和 p=0.032)。与未治疗组相比,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 联合 o-rMETase 组在第 15 天肿瘤生长明显消退(p<0.032)。鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 联合 o-rMETase 组的疗效明显优于鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 或 o-rMETase 单药治疗(p=0.032,p=0.032)。
本研究结果表明,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌 A1-R 联合 o-rMETase 具有成为 ES 变革性治疗的潜力。
