Interferon-α gene therapy by lentiviral vectors contrasts ovarian cancer growth through angiogenesis inhibition
No full textOvarian cancer represents a suitable disease for gene therapy because of the containment of neoplastic cells in the peritoneal cavity even at advanced tumor stages. The aim of this study was to investigate whether intraperitoneal administration of a lentiviral vector encoding murine interferon-α (LV-IFN) could have therapeutic activity in a transplantable ovarian cancer model. Multiple injections of low amounts of LV-IFN into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice bearing IGROV-1 or OC316 ovarian cancer cells elicited remarkable antitumor activity, leading to prolongation of survival in the majority of animals. A definitive cure was obtained in animals bearing PD-OVA#1 tumors, generated by injecting tumor cells isolated from the ascitic fluid of a patient into SCID mice. Interferon-α levels were detected in the peritoneal fluids but not in the serum of treated mice, indicating that production of the cytokine is mainly local, by both tumor and normal cells of the host. Antitumor effects were associated with a remarkable decrease in the formation of hemorrhagic ascites, an increase in ischemic tumor necrosis, and a reduction in microvessel density. In conclusion, our findings show that intracavitary IFN-α gene therapy, using a lentiviral vector, provides strong antitumor effects in murine models of ovarian cancer and reinforces the evidence that angiogenesis inhibition is a promising strategy for the treatment of localized tumors. © Mary Ann Liebert, Inc
Socrate o dello specchio. Strategie di scritture nell'Apologia e nell'Alcibiade
No full textThrough a mention to the Middle Platonists and a reference to a late antique text that presents a comparison between Plato and the Demiurge, I set out to show just one of those rhetorical strategies that have been used by the author Plato to give his writings the unity and consistency that make the corpus a kosmos, a living animal, like the universe. After having identified among the rhetorical strategies the one that uses examples and explained what such a strategy means, I analyse the Platonic use of the example of the mirror identified with Socrates in two writings, the Apology of Socrates and the Alcibiade
