Previous studies have demonstrated eradication of small (4–8 mm)
established murine MCA207 sarcomas by treatment with systemic IL-12.
Analysis of the mechanism has revealed a cellular and molecular immune
response at the tumor typical of a Th1 cell-mediated,
macrophage-effected, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response. In
the current study we investigate the immune response against long term
established, large MCA207 tumors induced by combined treatment with
IL-12 and cyclophosphamide (Cy), an agent known to potentiate the DTH
response. Our results demonstrate that s.c. large MCA207 tumors (15–20
mm) that are refractory to treatment by either IL-12 or Cy alone can be
completely eradicated by the combination of Cy and IL-12. IL-12 is
apparently the only cytokine capable of mediating tumor eradication,
and the effect is dependent on IFN-
. The contribution of Cy is
probably due to immunopotentiation of DTH rather than to direct
cytotoxicity to the tumor. The regression of these large tumors takes
>4 wk and, in many cases, is self-sustained, in that little or no
additional IL-12 is needed beyond the initial week of administration.
Analysis of the cellular and molecular events at the tumor site
suggests that the mechanism is a Th1-mediated antitumor immune
response.
