Local delivery of IL-1 alpha polymeric microspheres for the immunotherapy of an experimental fibrosarcoma.

Abstract:

:The immunotherapeutic effects of interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) encapsulated within 1-5 microns-diameter poly (D, L-lactide) microspheres and delivered intratumorally into fibrosarcoma-bearing mice were investigated. Such microspheres are avidly taken up by macrophages, and directing IL-1 alpha into these cells may activate them to participate in antitumor responses in vivo. Treating of tumor-bearing mice with IL-1 alpha microspheres has increased their survival rate, as compared with control mice, untreated or treated with microspheres containing bovine serum albumin (BSA). In 20% of the IL-1 alpha-treated mice, a complete tumor regression was observed. The timing of treatment with IL-1 alpha microspheres was crucial; optimal survival and regression rates were observed in mice treated 24 hr postinjection of the tumor cells. Administration of three doses of IL-1 alpha microspheres on days 1, 8, and 15 postinjection of tumor cells resulted in longer survival rates. Histopathology studies on regressed tumors revealed extensive areas of tumor cell degeneration and necrotic tissue surrounded by a large number of inflammatory cells. A similar picture was observed when IL-1 alpha microspheres were administered into the footpad of control mice, whereas the tissue reaction to BSA microspheres was much milder. Thus, it appears that tumor regression is mainly due to the antitumor effects of IL-1 alpha. Further studies are being aimed at increasing the immunotherapeutic efficiency of microspheric IL-1 alpha, used as a single treatment or in combination with other treatment modalities.
