Preclinical Childhood Sarcoma Models: Drug Efficacy Biomarker Identification and Validation
Over the past 35 years, cure rates for pediatric cancers have increased dramatically. However, it is clear that further dose intensification using cytotoxic agents or radiation therapy is not possible without enhancing morbidity and long-term effects. Consequently, novel, less genotoxic, agents are being sought to complement existing treatments. Here, we discuss preclinical human tumor xenograf...
متن کاملAnti-tumor efficacy and biomarker evaluation of agonistic anti-OX40 antibodies in preclinical models
Background OX40, a TNFRSF member, is a co-stimulatory molecule expressed on antigen experienced effector T (Teff) and regulatory T (Treg) cells, including infiltrating cells in mouse and human tumors. Activation of OX40 by agonistic antibodies is hypothesized to promote anti-tumor immunity by enhancing Teff activation and inhibiting Treg mediated suppression. We conducted in vitro and in vivo p...
متن کاملGenetically modified mouse models for biomarker discovery and preclinical drug testing.
The ability to grow pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells in culture, and to introduce precise genetic modifications into those cells through gene targeting, has greatly facilitated the generation of mouse models of human disease. This technology is playing a particularly important role in cancer research. In addition to their use in elucidating the role of individual genes or combinations of ...
متن کاملIdentification of a potential biomarker for FABP4 inhibition: the power of lipidomics in preclinical drug testing.
The fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) belongs to the family of lipid chaperones that control intracellular fluxes and compartmentalization of their respective ligands (e.g., fatty acids). FABP4, which is almost exclusively expressed in adipocytes and macrophages, contributes to the development of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in mice. Lack of FABP4 protects against the development o...
متن کاملCorrection: Validation of a preclinical model for assessment of drug efficacy in melanoma
The aim of personalized medicine is to improve our understanding of the disease at molecular level and to optimize therapeutic management. In this context, we have developed in vivo and ex vivo preclinical strategies evaluating the efficacy of innovative drugs in melanomas. Human melanomas (n = 17) of different genotypes (mutated BRAF, NRAS, amplified cKIT and wild type) were successfully engra...
