Presentation Transcript

  1. Immune Response and Fighting Brain Cancer with Gene Therapy Abbie Hunt November 10, 2009

  2. Overview • Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) • Dendritic Cells (DC) • Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) • Toll-like receptors (TLR) • Bone-marrow derived DCs (BMDC) • High-mobility-group box 1 (HMGB1)

  3. Challengers Ad-TK Ad-Flt3L Ad0 Returning Champions GL26 GL261 B16-F10 LLc1 Cell lines, etc.

  4. Mice! • Female C57BL/6 • MyD88-/- • TLR4-/- • WT • Chimeric • WT and GFP+/+ • WT and TLR2-/- http://brainwindows.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/image-gfp-mouse-crop-copy.jpg

  5. GL26 GL261 B16-F10 Ad0 Ad-Flt3L + Ad0 Ad-TK + Ad0 Ad-Flt3L + Ad-TK GCV Saline Rechallenged Glioma Models

  6. T cells necessary in tumor regression

  7. DCs come from bone marrow

  8. TLR2 expression by BMDC necessary in tumor regression

  9. HMGB1 mediates TLR2-dependent glioma tumor regression • Increased levels of HMGB1 from GL26 treated with Ad-TK+GCV in vitro • Increased serum levels in mice • Blocked with glycyrrhizin or specific anti-HMGB1 antibodies

  10. HMGB1 released from tumor cells with Ad-TK+GCV, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy

  11. Ad-TK(+GCV) + Ad-Flt3L = Survival and Increased HMGB1

  12. Recap • T cells necessary in tumor regression • DCs come from bone marrow • TLR2 expression by BMDC necessary in t.r. • HMGB1 mediates TLR2-dependent glioma t.r. • HMGB1 released from tumor cells with Ad-TK+GCV, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy • Ad-TK (+GCV) and Ad-Flt3L therapy results in GL261 and B16-F10 tumor regression and increased HMGB1 levels
