We investigated the anti-metastatic action of nicotine- and tar-removed cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on highly metastatic mouse Colon-26 cells using syngeneic BALB/c mice. Colon-26 cells were injected into the spleen of mice, cells were grown in the spleen as the primary lesion, and some metastasized from the spleen to liver and established a metastatic lesion. CSE (10, 30, and 100%) was intraperitoneally administered daily to the mice for 14 days after tumor inoculation. As a result, the relative spleen weights of CSE-administered mice did not differ significantly from those of the control mice. However, the relative liver weights of CSE 30%-administered mice significantly decreased compared to control mice. In order to identify the active component in CSE, we examined the action of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) on the invasiveness of Colon-26 cells. MVK significantly reduced the invasiveness of cells. MVK may be a candidate active component of CSE.

Aims: Cancer cachexia affects up to 80 % of patients with advanced cancer and accounts for >20 % of all cancer-related deaths. Sarcolemmal localization of dystrophin, a key protein within the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), is perturbed in multiple muscle wasting conditions, including cancer cachexia, indicating a potential role for dystrophin in the maintenance of muscle mass. Strategies to preserve dystrophin expression at the sarcolemma might therefore combat muscle wasting.

The basic requirements for the development of radiopharmaceuticals for radionuclide therapy of tumors include marked tumor-specific accumulation and long-term intratumoral retention. We have previously reported an indium-111 (In)-labeled thermoresponsive polymer (polyoxazoline (POZ)) that is soluble at body temperature with rapid clearance from normal tissues but self-aggregates in the tumor upon tumor heating treatment. POZ accumulated in the tumor via self-aggregation under hyperthermic conditions and was retained after stopping heat exposure.

It has been demonstrated that cancer cells that have survived cancer treatment may be more malignant than the original cancer cells. These cells are considered the main cause of metastasis in prognosis. A -overexpressing colon-26 (colon26) was generated to obtain such a malignant cancer cell model, which was confirmed by enhancement of metastatic potential by in vivo tests using mice.

Background And Purpose: Although carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has led to good outcomes, controlling metastasis is still crucial for improving overall survival. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of by two combinations, one of CIRT and anti-CTLA4 antibody, the other of CIRT and anti-PD-1 antibody, applied at different radiation doses for distal tumour and metastasis suppression.
Materials And Methods: Murine cancer cells (colon carcinoma Colon-26 cells for experiments and osteosarcoma LM8 cells for verification) were grafted into both sides of the hind legs of syngeneic mice.
