Abstract
Combined blockade of the immune checkpoints PD-1 and CTLA-4 has shown remarkable efficacy in patients with melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, non-small-cell lung cancer and mesothelioma, among other tumor types. However, a proportion of patients suffer from serious immune-related adverse events (irAEs). In severe cases, a reduction of the doses or the complete cessation of the treatment is required, limiting the antitumor efficacy of these treatments. Colitis is among the most frequent and problematic irAE associated with immune checkpoint blockade. In this context, animal models that recapitulate the pathophysiological features of immunotherapy-related colitis are needed. In this manuscript, we describe our experience with a mouse model in which the combined CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade exacerbates the deleterious effects of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. This model may constitute a valuable tool for the study of immunotherapy-related colitis.
期刊介绍:
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
