Northern blot analysis demonstrated that in 3LL metastatic variants the expression of TGF-alpha as well as the expression of all growth-regulated genes and oncogenes studied are similar.
Interleukin 6 gene transfection into Lewis lung carcinoma tumor cells suppresses the malignant phenotype and confers immunotherapeutic competence against parental metastatic cells.
When B16-BL6 melanoma cells or Lewis lung carcinoma cells were implanted intradermally, the tumor volumes at 3 weeks after implantation in the gelatinase A-deficient mice decreased by 39% for B16-BL6 melanoma and by 24% for Lewis lung carcinoma (P < 0.03 for each tumor).The number of lung colonies of i.v. injections fell by 54% for B16-BL6 melanoma and 77% for Lewis lung carcinoma (P < 0.014 and P < 0.0015, respectively).
In a lung metastasis model, EMAP II blocked outgrowth of Lewis lung carcinoma macrometastases; total surface metastases were diminished by 65%, and of the 35% metastases present, approximately 80% were inhibited with maximum diameter <2 mm (P < 0.002 vs. controls).
Precompacting DNA with a histone H1-derived peptide enhances cationic lipid RPR 115335-mediated gene transfer in an in vivo model of Lewis lung carcinoma.
We tested this hypothesis by evaluating the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma in three different murine models of hypercholesterolemia: Pluronic treated mice, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) deficient mice, and low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) deficient mice.
Precompacting DNA with a histone H1-derived peptide enhances cationic lipid RPR 115335-mediated gene transfer in an in vivo model of Lewis lung carcinoma.
New platinum(II) complexes of cyclopentanecarboxylic acid hydrazide (cpcah) were prepared, characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectra, and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity in Friend leukemia (FL) and A2780 ovarian tumor cells, induction of apoptosis in FL cells, as well as for in vivo antitumor activity toward murine L1210 leukemia and Lewis lung carcinoma.
Intratumoral injection of AdmCD40L also significantly suppressed the growth of established, weakly immunogenic Lewis lung carcinoma (H-2b) tumors, but to a lesser extent.
In this study, we show that transfer of T cells from IL-10 transgenic mice to control littermates transferred the IL-10 immunosuppressive effect and led to enhanced 3LL tumor growth.

The data showed that the ectopic ES in circulation expressed by intramuscular administration of formulated ES-encoding plasmid DNA significantly suppressed primary tumor growth and lung metastasis in LLC-bearing C57/BL mice.
To address this issue, recombinant adenoviruses encoding angiostatin, endostatin, and the ligand-binding ectodomains of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors Flk1, Flt1, and neuropilin were generated and used to systemically deliver the different gene products in several different preexisting murine tumor models.Single i.v. injections of viruses encoding soluble forms of Flk1 or Flt1 resulted in approximately 80% inhibition of preexisting tumor growth in murine models involving both murine (Lewis lung carcinoma, T241 fibrosarcoma) and human (BxPC3 pancreatic carcinoma) tumors.

In this study, we showed that recombinant human prothrombin kringle-1, -2. and -1-2 (rk-1, -2, -1-2) all have potent anti-angiogenic activities, which inhibit Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) tumor growth and metastases.
