Event Description
Kaltenmeier Laboratory
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) frequently presents at an advanced unresectable stage and is among the most common causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) are inflammation-associated enzymes with known oncogenic function. We have shown that these enzymes play an important role in the outcome of HCC and that targeting of iNOS/COX2 in a murine model reduces tumor burden and potentially improve survival. We further show that combination of iNOS/COX2/anti-PD-L1 inhibition is superior to single treatment PD-L1 and that the combination can produce long lasting anti tumor effects and memory T cells.
