Interferon and interferon inducers in the treatment of malignancies.

The Journal of general physiology

Levy HB, Riley F, Margolis S.
PMID: 19873670
J Gen Physiol. 1970 Jul 01;56(1):238-48. doi: 10.1085/jgp.56.1.238.

The mechanism of the antitumor action of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid is probably multifaceted. The compound induces the synthesis of interferon, and interferon probably is active against some tumors. Poly I:poly C alters protein and RNA synthesis in tissue culture. It...

Statins act as transient type I interferon inhibitors to enable the antitumor activity of modified vaccinia Ankara viral vectors.

Journal for immunotherapy of cancer

Tenesaca S, Vasquez M, Alvarez M, Otano I, Fernandez-Sendin M, Di Trani CA, Ardaiz N, Gomar C, Bella A, Aranda F, Medina-Echeverz J, Melero I, Berraondo P.
PMID: 34321273
J Immunother Cancer. 2021 Jul;9(7). doi: 10.1136/jitc-2020-001587.

BACKGROUND: Modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) are genetically engineered non-replicating viral vectors. Intratumoral administration of MVA induces a cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-mediated type I interferon (IFN) response and the production of high levels of the transgenes engineered into the viral...

Transcriptional analysis of multiple ovarian cancer cohorts reveals prognostic and immunomodulatory consequences of ERV expression.

Journal for immunotherapy of cancer

Natoli M, Gallon J, Lu H, Amgheib A, Pinato DJ, Mauri FA, Marafioti T, Akarca AU, Ullmo I, Ip J, Aboagye EO, Brown R, Karadimitris A, Ghaem-Maghami S.
PMID: 33436485
J Immunother Cancer. 2021 Jan;9(1). doi: 10.1136/jitc-2020-001519.

BACKGROUND: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) play a role in a variety of biological processes, including embryogenesis and cancer. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTi)-induced ERV expression triggers interferon responses in ovarian cancer cells via the viral sensing machinery. Baseline expression of ERVs...

Interferon and interferon inducers in protozoal infections.

The Journal of general physiology

Jahiel RI.
PMID: 19873669
J Gen Physiol. 1970 Jul 01;56(1):227-37. doi: 10.1085/jgp.56.1.227.

Several interferon inducers (Newcastle disease virus, statolon, and poly rI:poly rC) as well as exogenous mouse interferon protect mice from sporozoite-induced Plasmodium berghei malaria, as long as they are administered before the end of the preerythrocytic phase of development...

Double-stranded polynucleotides as interferon inducers.

The Journal of general physiology

Field AK, Tytell AA, Lampson GP, Nemes MM, Hilleman MR.
PMID: 19873677
J Gen Physiol. 1970 Jul 01;56(1):90-6. doi: 10.1085/jgp.56.1.90.

A discussion of factors considered influential in making a polynucleotide an efficient inducer of interferon was presented. These factors were double-strandedness of the polynucleotides, the sugar moiety of the polynucleotides, thermal stability, resistance to enzymatic degradation, and molecular size...

Forging a potent vaccine adjuvant: CpG ODN/cationic peptide nanorings.

Oncoimmunology

Gungor B, Yagci FC, Gursel I, Gursel M.
PMID: 25610738
Oncoimmunology. 2014 Jul 03;3(7):e950166. doi: 10.4161/21624011.2014.950166. eCollection 2014.

Type I interferon inducers may potentially be engineered to function as antiviral and anticancer agents, or alternatively, vaccine adjuvants, all of which may have clinical applications. We recently described a simple strategy to convert a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9)...

STING activation normalizes the intraperitoneal vascular-immune microenvironment and suppresses peritoneal carcinomatosis of colon cancer.

Journal for immunotherapy of cancer

Lee SJ, Yang H, Kim WR, Lee YS, Lee WS, Kong SJ, Lee HJ, Kim JH, Cheon J, Kang B, Chon HJ, Kim C.
PMID: 34145029
J Immunother Cancer. 2021 Jun;9(6). doi: 10.1136/jitc-2020-002195.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a fatal clinical presentation of colon cancer, characterized by unresponsiveness to conventional anticancer therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors. Here, we elucidated the immune-evasion mechanisms during the peritoneal carcinomatosis of colon cancer and developed a novel...

Effect of Interferon and Interferon Inducers on Infections with a Nonviral Intracellular Microorganism, Rickettsia akari.

Infection and immunity

Kazar J, Krautwurst PA, Gordon FB.
PMID: 16558061
Infect Immun. 1971 Jun;3(6):819-24. doi: 10.1128/iai.3.6.819-824.1971.

The effect of mouse interferon (IF) on the multiplication of Rickettsia akari in homologous (L-929) cell cultures and the effect of IF inducers on R. akari infection in mice were investigated. There was a reduction in the proportion of...

Biochemistry (Moscow) Supplement. Series B, Biomedical chemistry

Danilenko ED, Belkina AO, Sysoeva GM.

Antibacterial effect of known interferon inducers was investigated. Intraperitoneal injection of statolon or pyran markedly enhanced the survival of mice challenged with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The sparing effect of these two interferon inducers resembled that of bacterial endotoxin. Significant protection...
