Combination Pair ID: 938
Pair Name Cordycepin, Anti-TIGIT antibody
Partner Name Anti-TIGIT antibody
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2B90] Colon cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Reshaped-->Tumor immune microenvironment
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Expression CD226 KEGG ID N.A.
In Vitro Model MC-38 Mouse colon adenocarcinoma Mus musculus (Mouse) CVCL_B288
CT26 Mouse colon adenocarcinoma Mus musculus (Mouse) CVCL_7254
In Vivo Model 1×10⁶ MC38 and CT26 cells were injected into the right abdomen of C57BL/6J and Balb/c mice.
Result The combination therapy group increased DCs in the tumor immune microenvironment and promoted cellular interaction with CD4 T cell and CD8 T cell populations while decreasing Treg cell interactions. In conclusion, cordycepin with anti-TIGIT therapy in colon cancer could reshape the tumor immune microenvironment and have notable anticancer effects.
