Resiquimod (R848) is an imidazoquinoline compound with potential antiviral activity. It is a low molecular weight synthetic molecule that has been evaluated in clinical studies for the treatment of infections caused by viruses such as herpes simplex virus and hepatitis C virus[1]. Resiquimod was found to reduce viral shedding and viral reoccurrence by activating various immune cells to produce an environment conductive for the T-helper 1 (Th1) immune responses[2-3]. Resiquimod is a selective ligand for Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 in mouse and for TLR7 and TLR8 in human and has been shown to activate only TLR7 and TLR8[4].
Resiquimod(10 μg/ml; 6 or 12 h) induced the increase of high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) expression in native mast cells [5].
Resiquimod 8(3 mg/kg;i.p ; three continuous days in a week for three weeks) exhibited a robust antitumoral effect. Resiquimod reduced tumor vasculature and induced tumor cell apoptosis. Resiquimod increased high mobility group Box 1 expression in tumor tissues and activated CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood[6]. Resiquimod (10 g; i.p) induces anti-tumor responses and attenuates cachexia in murine models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)[7]. The combination of Resiquimod (3 mg/kg were administered by retro-orbital injections (diluted in PBS, 100 μL per mouse) 1 day before, 1 day after, and 1 week after SBRT treatments (total of 3 times))and SBRT results in significant immune activation of the pancreatic tumor microenvironment (TME), including increased tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells, decreased regulatory T cells, and enhanced antigen-presenting cells maturation, as well as increased interferon gamma, granzyme B, and CCL5 along with decreased levels of interleukin 4 (IL-4), IL-6, and IL-10[8].
Resiquimod (R848)是一种具有潜在抗病毒活性的咪唑喹啉类化合物。它是一种低分子量的合成分子,在临床研究中已被评价用于治疗单纯疱疹病毒、丙型肝炎病毒等病毒引起的感染[1]。R848被发现通过激活各种免疫细胞产生有利于t -辅助性1 (Th1)免疫应答的环境来减少病毒脱落和病毒复发[2-3]。R848是小鼠toll样受体(TLR) 7和人类TLR7和TLR8的选择性配体(激动剂) [4]。
在肥大细胞中,Resiquimod (10μg/ml;6/12 h)诱导高亲和IgE受体(FcεRI)表达升高[5]。
Resiquimod (3 mg/kg;i.p ; three continuous days in a week for three weeks)表现出强大的抗肿瘤作用。Resiquimod减少肿瘤血管,诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡。Resiquimod增加肿瘤组织中高迁移率族蛋白Box1的表达,激活外周血中CD4+ T细胞[6]。Resiquimod (10 g; i.p)在胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)小鼠模型中诱导抗肿瘤反应并减轻恶病质[7]。Resiquimod (3 mg/kg were administered by retro-orbital injections (diluted in PBS, 100 μL per mouse) 1 day before, 1 day after, and 1 week after SBRT treatments (total of 3 times))和SBRT联合使用导致胰腺肿瘤微环境显著的免疫激活,包括肿瘤抗原特异性CD8+ T细胞增加,调节性T细胞减少,抗原提呈细胞成熟增强,干扰素γ、颗粒酶B和CCL5增加,白细胞介素4 (IL-4)、IL-6和IL-10水平降低[8]。
