Abstract

Chemokines participate in the antitumor immune response by regulating the movement and positioning of lymphocytes as well as effector functions and may thus be candidates for use in antitumor therapy. To test whether CCL5, a chemokine involved in the recruitment of a wide spectrum of immunocompetent cells, can control tumor growth, we forced its expression at mouse tumor sites. Tumor growth was reduced in mice with s.c. syngeneic CCL5-EL-4 compared with EL-4-injected mice, whereas both reduced tumor growth and incidence were observed in mice with OVA-expressing EG-7 transfected with CCL5 compared with EG-7-injected mice. Significant antitumor effects were observed soon after intratumoral injection of DNA plasmid coding for chimeric CCL5-Ig. Importantly, quantitative RT-PCR assays showed that the amount of CCL5 expression at the tumor site determined the effectiveness of the antitumor response, which was associated with infiltration of increased numbers of NK, CD4, and CD8 cells at the tumor site. This effect was lost in mice deficient for T/B lymphocytes (RAG-2 knockout) or for CCR5 (CCR5 knockout). Together, these data demonstrate the antitumor activity of intratumoral CCL5 overexpression, due to its recruitment of immunocompetent cells, and the potential usefulness of chimeric CCL5-Ig DNA as an agent in cancer therapy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • SHP099 and G12C-I each increased the expression of chemokine and cytokine genes that promote T cell recruitment (e.g., CXCL9-11; CCL5).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
