title: [Anti-tumor effect of intratumoral administration of dendritic cells in combination with TS-1 and OK-432].
abstract: We investigated the in vivo anti-tumor effect of intratumoral administration of dendritic cells (DCs) after chemotherapy using TS-1, and followed by immunopotentiator OK-432. Both in Meth-A-bearing BALB/c and in SCCV II-bearing C3H/HeN mice, one week of oral administration of TS-1 affected a partial eradication of established tumors. TS-1 followed by DCs and OK-432 resulted in a marked inhibition in tumor growth, and also contributed to a greater prolongation of survival. Cytotoxic activities of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and draining lymph node cells against inoculated tumor cells were significantly increased by the therapy. Cytotoxic memory T cells were also induced. The same therapy was also applied to SCCV II-bearing C3H/HeJ mice in which the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 is mutated; no immunotherapeutic effect was observed in the mice. These findings suggest that local DC therapy in combination with TS-1 and OK-432 may well be a useful strategy for the treatment of solid tumors, and that TLR4 signaling is involved in the success of this therapy.
