BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the current study was to investigate the synergistic efficacy of Robo1 bichimeric antigen receptor-natural killer cell (BiCAR-NK) immunotherapy and I seed brachytherapy in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer mouse model.
The orthotopic pancreatic tumor model was established with human pancreatic cancer BxPC-3 cells expressing red fluorescent protein. The mice were treated with I seed implantation alone or the combination of I seeds with Robo1-specific CAR-NK cells. To assess tumor inhibition, in vivo fluorescence imaging was conducted. 7 Tesla magnetic resonance (7T-MR) scanning was applied to measure the changes in the metabolic profiles of tumor tissues.
Tumor size was significantly reduced in the I and I +CAR-NK treated group compared to the untreated group (p<0.05). The I seed +CAR-NK treated group showed significantly higher tumor reduction than I seed treatment alone (p<0.05). T1 diffusion weighted imaging (T1DWI) sequence showed that the tumors of the I +BiCAR-NK treated group had a significantly higher grey scale value than the tumors from the untreated control and the group treated with I seed alone (p<0.05).
Robo1 specific CAR-NK immunotherapy enhances efficacy of I seed brachytherapy in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer mouse model.
背景/目的:本研究旨在探讨 Robo1 双特异性抗原受体自然杀伤细胞(BiCAR-NK)免疫疗法与 I 种子近距离放疗在原位胰腺癌小鼠模型中的协同疗效。
用表达红色荧光蛋白的人胰腺癌细胞 BxPC-3 建立原位胰腺肿瘤模型。将小鼠单独用 I 种子植入或用 Robo1 特异性 CAR-NK 细胞联合 I 种子进行治疗。为了评估肿瘤抑制作用,进行了体内荧光成像。应用 7 特斯拉磁共振(7T-MR)扫描测量肿瘤组织代谢谱的变化。
与未治疗组相比,I 种子和 I +CAR-NK 治疗组的肿瘤体积明显减小(p<0.05)。I 种子+CAR-NK 治疗组的肿瘤缩小程度明显高于 I 种子单独治疗组(p<0.05)。T1 扩散加权成像(T1DWI)序列显示,与未治疗对照组和仅用 I 种子治疗组相比,I +BiCAR-NK 治疗组的肿瘤灰度值明显更高(p<0.05)。
Robo1 特异性 CAR-NK 免疫疗法增强了 I 种子近距离放疗在原位胰腺癌小鼠模型中的疗效。
