Four to six week old C57BL/6J mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and allowed to acclimate for one week prior to use. C57BL/6J Rag1^−/− mice were also obtained from the Jackson Laboratory and maintained in our mouse colony. All animal experiment protocols were followed according to the Yale Office of Animal Research Support Committee guidelines. For tumor inoculation, YUMM1.7 and YUMMER1.7 cells were harvested at approximately 60–85% confluence on the day of injection. Cells were trypsinized with 0.25% trypsin for approximately 2–3 minutes before deactivation with media containing 10% serum. They were then washed twice with sterile 1x PBS and counted with an Invitrogen Countess or a hemocytometer. Cells in 100 μL of sterile PBS were injected subcutaneously into a shaved rear flank using a 27G needle. Mice were monitored for the appearance of tumor after injection to begin digital caliper measurements. Three dimensions were taken for calculation of tumor volume, which was calculated using the equation: 0.5233*l*w*h. For depletion experiments, antibodies for CD4 (GK1.5) and CD8 (TIB210) were made in-house using hydridomas. Mice were injected with 10 mg/kg of each antibody on day −1 and then twice per week for the course of treatment. Loss of CD4 and CD8 T cells was verified by flow cytometry. For immunotherapy treatments, anti-CTLA-4 (9H10) and anti-PD-1 (RMP1-14) antibodies were purchased from Bio X Cell (West Lebanon, NH) along with the corresponding isotype controls, Syrian Hamster IgG2 and Rat IgG2a, respectively. Treatments were started with palpable tumors at 6 days after initial cell line injections. Mice were given 10 mg/kg anti-CTLA-4 and 10 mg/kg anti-PD-1 three times per week for four weeks.

Not available on PMC !

Example 16

The antitumor activity of exemplary MEK inhibitor compounds is evaluated in vivo using human cell line derived xenografts (CDX) grown in immunodeficient mice. For these studies, AsPC1 (pancreatic cell line with KRAS G12D mutation), NCI-H2122 (lung cell line with KRAS G12C mutation), and 5637 (bladder cell line with CRAF amplification) models are used. In addition, HCT-116 (colorectal cell line with KRAS G13D mutation), SKM-1 (AML cell line with KRAS K117N mutation), and OCI-AML-3 (AML cell line with NRAS Q61L mutation) models are used. The tumor cell lines (AsPC-1, NCI-H2122, 5637, and HCT-116 cells) are maintained in vitro as monolayer culture in medium at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO₂in air. The tumor cell lines (SKM-1 and OCI-AML-3 cells) are maintained in vitro as a suspension in medium at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells are routinely sub-cultured before confluence by trypsin-EDTA treatment, not to exceed 4-5 passages. The cells growing in an exponential growth phase are harvested for tumor inoculation. AsPC1, NCI-H2122, and OCI-AML-3 tumors are implanted into Balb/c nude mice. HCT-116 tumors are implanted into Nu/Nu mice. 5637 and SKM-1 tumors are implanted into NOG mice. Each mouse is inoculated subcutaneously on the right flank with tumor cells in a 1:1 mixture with matrigel. Tumors are allowed to grow to approximately 150-200 mm³. At this time, mice are assigned to groups such that the mean tumor volume is the same for each treatment group. The MEK inhibitor compound treatments are administrated to the tumor-bearing mice via oral gavage. Throughout the study, mouse body weight and tumor volume are recorded. The measurement of tumor size is conducted twice weekly with a caliper and recorded. The tumor volume (mm³) is estimated using the formula: TV=a×b²/2, where “a” and “b” are long and short diameters of a tumor, respectively.

In the AsPC-1 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor I-2 was treated at 3 mg/kg QD and a percent TGI (tumor growth inhibition) on Day 21 of 83.4% was observed. The average body weight gain observed on Day 21 was 2.4%.

In the NCI-H2122 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor 1-2 was treated at 3 mg/kg QD and a percent TGI on Day 31 of 104% was observed. The average body weight loss observed on Day 31 was 1.5%.

In the 5637 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor I-2 was treated at 3 mg/kg QD and a percent TGI on Day 21 of 111% was observed. The average body weight loss observed on Day 21 was 6.8%.

In the HCT-116 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor I-2 was treated at 2 mg/kg QD, 3 mg/kg QOD or 6 mg/kg QOD and a percent TGIs on Day 20 of 102.9%, 98.1%, and 98%, respectively, were observed. The average body weight gain observed on Day 20 was 4%, 5.5%, and 12.1%, respectively.

In the SKM-1 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor I-2 was treated at 1 mg/kg QD, 3 mg/kg QD or 6 mg/kg QOD and venetoclax was treated at 100 mg/kg QD and a percent TGIs on Day 22 of 97.7%, 98.4%, 96.2%, and 46.6% respectively, were observed. The average body weight loss observed on Day 22 for the 3 mg/kg QD group was 1.2%, whereas weight gain was observed in 1 mg/kg QD, 6 mg/kg QOD and venetoclax groups (1.2%, 3.9, and 7.5%, respectively).

In the OCI-AML-3 model, exemplary MEK inhibitor I-2 was treated at 1 mg/kg QD, 3 mg/kg QD or 6 mg/kg QOD, and venetoclax was treated at 100 mg/kg QD and a percent TGIs on Day 15 of 94.8, 98.6, 95.2, and 13% respectively, were observed. The average body weight loss observed on Day 15 for the 1 and 3 mg/kg QD group was 2.9% and 7.8%, respectively, whereas weight gain was observed in 6 mg/kg QOD and venetoclax groups (3.3% and 8.3%, respectively).

In Vivo DNA Damage and Tumor Response

The experimental protocol was approved by the Hebrew University Institutional Animal Care. Induction of DNA damage in vivo, was performed as previously described^{54 –56 (link)}. Briefly, for the induction of DNA damage in vivo, C57BL/6 male mice (Harlan, Israel) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with DEN (25 mg/Kg body wt; Sigma-Aldrich). Mice were sacrificed after 48 h, and liver tissues were fixed with 4% PFA.
To study the expression of CD47 in response to DNA damage in tumor tissues, we used a syngeneic orthotropic mouse malignant mesothelioma (MM) disease model^{63 (link)}. 1×10⁵ AB12 cells were injected to the peritoneum of BALB/c mice to generate tumors (>95% inoculation success rates). The resultant tumors are morphologically and histologically similar to human MM tumors, and respond to treatments used for MM patients, such as cisplatin. For cisplatin treatment a single injection of cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was given on day 3 following tumor inoculations, and tumor tissues were harvested from the peritoneum 6 days later.

What are the different types of Cancer Vaccines?

Cancer vaccines can be broadly classified into several types, each with its own unique mechanism of action and approach to stimulating the immune system: 1. Personalized/Autologous Vaccines: These vaccines are custom-made for each patient, using their own tumor-specific antigens to generate a targeted immune response. 2. Off-the-shelf/Allogeneic Vaccines: These vaccines utilize common tumor antigens or viral vectors to trigger a more generalized immune response against cancer cells. 3. DNA/RNA Vaccines: These vaccines deliver genetic material encoding tumor antigens, prompting the patient's cells to produce and present the antigen to the immune system. 4. Peptide Vaccines: These vaccines use short amino acid sequences derived from tumor-associated proteins to activate an immune response. 5. Dendritic Cell Vaccines: These vaccines involve harvesting the patient's own dendritic cells, loading them with tumor antigens, and then reintroducing them to stimulate a potent immune attack.

What are some common challenges in the use of Cancer Vaccines?

While cancer vaccines hold great promise, there are several challenges that researchers and clinicians face in their development and application: 1. Tumor Heterogeneity: Cancer cells can exhibit significant genetic and phenotypic diversity, making it difficult to identify universally effective tumor antigens. 2. Immune Suppression: The tumor microenvironment often contains mechanisms that suppress the immune system, rendering the vaccine less effective. 3. Dosing and Scheduling: Determining the optimal dose, timing, and frequency of vaccine administration can be complex and requires careful optimization. 4. Patient Variability: Individual differences in immune function, genetic background, and disease stage can affect the vaccine's efficacy. 5. Combination Therapies: Integrating cancer vaccines with other immunotherapies or conventional treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired anti-tumor response.
