Inhibition of angiogenesis in vivo by interleukin 12

Abstract

In previous animal studies, interleukin 12 (IL 12) was shown to inhibit the growth of a wide spectrum of tumors in vivo but to have no direct effect on tumor cells in vitro. Also, contrary to the expectation of a T-cell-mediated effect, the antitumor activity of IL 12 was not completely abrogated in tests of T-cell-deficient mice. These observations suggest that IL 12 may possess antiangiogenic properties that account for its tumor-inhibitory effects in vivo. Our goal was to investigate the hypothesis that IL 12 has antiangiogenic properties. A model of basic fibroblast growth factor-induced corneal neovascularization in mice was used to evaluate the effects of IL 12 and interferon gamma (IFN gamma) on angiogenesis in vivo. Different strains of male mice, e.g., immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice, severe combined immune-deficient (SCID) mice, natural killer cell-deficient beige mice, and T-cell-deficient nude mice, were treated with IL 12 (1 microgram/day) intraperitoneally for 5 consecutive days. The extent of neovascularization in response to a basic fibroblast growth factor pellet and the inhibition of neovascularization by IL 12 or IFN gamma were assessed by measuring the maximal vessel length and the corneal circumference involve...Continue Reading
