摘要: Vascular disrupting agents as DMXAA inhibit tumor growth only for a short period of time followed by rapid regrowth. Among others, hypoxia and presence transcription factor HIF-1α are responsible tumors The aim our study was to investigate the inhibition murine melanoma combining two agents: anti-vascular - inhibitor digoxin explaining mechanism action this combination. After treatment size reduced limited time. 7 days regrowth observed number vessels increased especially in tumor’s peripheral areas. also induced an influx immune cells: macrophages, CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes, NK cells, CD4+ lymphocytes. Administration alone inhibited tumors. both proper sequence significantly better than either alone. Combination therapy newly formed vessels. In mice treated with combination therapy, macrophages M1, cells lesser extent increased. inhibitors appears be effective therapeutic option.
