Abstract
The application of antiangiogenic agents in cancer therapy has been studied extensively. Combination of agents with antiangiogenic properties could possibly enhance antitumor effects. Interleukin 12 is a cytokine with potent antitumor activity mediated also via antiangiogenic mechanisms. These effects are attributed to IFN-γ production stimulated by IL-12. Since IFN-γ has been reported to augment antitumor effects when combined with one of the metalloproteinase inhibitors - batimastat (BB-94), we have examined a combined treatment with IL-12 and BB-94 in a murine melanoma model. The administration of both agents showed potentiated antitumor activity. Furthermore, we have shown in a tumor-induced angiogenesis model that the combined application of IL-12 and batimastat inhibits the formation of new blood vessels to a greater extent than either agent alone. Our observations show that antiangiogenic effects are at least partly responsible for the enhanced antitumor effects of the combined treatment with IL-12 and BB-94.
