标题:Neem leaf glycoprotein optimizes effector and regulatory functions within tumor microenvironment to intervene therapeutically the growth of B16 melanoma in C57BL/6 mice
摘要:Therapy with neem leaf glycoprotein (NLGP) inhibits murine B16-melanoma in vivo and improves survivability. Studies on tumor-microenvironment (TME) from NLGP treated mice (NLGP-TME) suggests that anti-tumor effect is directly associated with enhanced CD8^+T cell activity, dominance of type 1 cytokines/chemokine network with downregulation of suppressive cellular functions. NLGP-TME educated CD8^+T cells showed higher perforin and granzymeB expression with greater in vitro cytotoxicity against B16 melanoma. These CD8^+T cells showed proportionally lower FasR expression, denotes prevention from activation induced cell death by NLGP. Accumulated evidences strongly suggest NLGP influenced normalized TME allows CD8^+T cells to perform optimally to inhibit melanoma growth.
