Two cell lines, named VX2T and VX2R, were isolated from the transplantable VX2 carcinoma, a wholly anaplastic tumor established from a carcinoma induced by the Shope cottontail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) (J.G. Kidd and P. Rous, J. Exp. Med. 71:813-838, 1940). The CRPV genome was found to be maintained and transcribed in both cell lines, as in the VX2 carcinoma. The VX2T cells retained the tumor-producing capacity in the rabbit and the low expression of epidermal keratinocyte differentiation of the VX2 tumor cells. The VX2R cells, although tumorigenic for nude mice, were no longer serially transplantable in the rabbit and expressed differentiated functions of keratinocytes. These data indicate that the anaplastic characteristic and the transplantability of VX2 carcinoma cells to immune competent allogenic hosts may be lost without any detectable modification of the physical state and transcription of the CRPV genome.

Background/objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop the gemcitabine-loaded drug-eluting beads (G-DEBs) for transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in rabbit renal tumors and to evaluate their antitumor effect using 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT).
Methods: DEBs were prepared by polyvinyl alcohol-based macromer crosslinked with -acryl tyrosine and ,'-methylenebis(acrylamide). Gemcitabine was loaded through ion change to obtain G-DEBs.

Having suitable animal models is crucial to mimic human disease states and for the successful transfer of experimental data into clinical practice. In the field of papillomavirus research, the domestic rabbit () has served as an indispensable model organism for almost 100 years. The identification and characterization of the first papillomaviruses in rabbits, their carcinogenic potential and their immunogenicity have contributed significantly to the state of knowledge on the genetics and life cycle of papillomaviruses in general, as well as the development of antiviral strategies such as vaccination procedures.

Background: Current embolic agents in transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) encounter instability and easy leakage, discounting TACE efficacy with residual HCC. Moreover, clinical TACE aggravates hypoxia and pro-metastatic microenvironments, rendering patients with HCC poor prognosis.
Methods: Herein, we developed Zein-based embolic agents that harness water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble Zein to encompass doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded mesoporous hollow MnO (HMnO).

Drug-eluting bead transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (D-TACE) is one of the first-line treatment for intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the dual hypoxia microenvironment, due to inherent tumor hypoxia and TACE-induced hypoxia, triggers drug resistance in HCC. To address this challenge, the study develops multicavitary microspheres capable of encapsulating oxygen and harnessing magnetic hyperthermia to enhance oxygen permeability.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and tumor metabolism influence the polarization of macrophages, specifically promoting their M2 subtype, which is linked to tumor growth and immune evasion.
- Under experimental conditions, hypoxia was found to decrease the extracellular pH more significantly than normoxia, and this was associated with a marked M2 polarization of macrophages when exposed to tumor-conditioned media.
- The research suggests that targeting the hypoxic environment of liver tumors might help to enhance immune responses, with particular metabolites like lactate and 2-amino-butanoic acid being potential therapeutic targets.
