Abstract
Multimodal therapy for peritoneal metastasis (PM) including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) provides long-term survival in highly selected colorectal cancer patients. Mechanisms behind HIPEC are unknown and may include induction of adaptive immunity. We therefore analyzed human PM samples and explored the impact of HIPEC in experimental models. Human samples from colorectal primary tumors (n = 19) and PM lesions (n = 37) were examined for the presence of CD8 + T-cells and their association with disease free (DFS) and overall survival (OS). CD8 + T cell response after HIPEC was assessed using an in-vivo PM mouse model, tumor cell lines and patient-derived tumor organoids. Patients with high intraepithelial CD8 + T cell counts showed longer DFS and OS. In the mouse model, HIPEC controlled growth of PM and increased numbers of functional granzyme positive CD8 + T cells within tumors. Cell lines and human organoids that were treated with heated chemotherapies showed immunogenic changes, reflected by significantly higher levels of MHC-class I molecules and expression of Cancer Testis Antigens Cyclin A1 and SSX-4. Using in-vitro co-culture assays, we noticed that cancer cells treated with heated chemotherapy primed dendritic cells, which subsequently enhanced effector functions of CD8 + T cells. The presence of CD8 + T-cells within PM lesions is associated with prolonged survival of patients with PM. Data from PM mouse model and in-vitro assay show that heated chemotherapies induce immunogenic changes on cancer cells leading to induction of CD8 + T-cells mediated immunity, which seems to control growth of PM lesions in mice after HIPEC.

Amplifying Curcumin's Antitumor Potential: A Heat-Driven Approach for Colorectal Cancer Treatment. Onco Targets Ther 2024; 17:63-78.

Abstract
Introduction Peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) present a significant clinical challenge with poor prognosis, often unresponsive to systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment approach for select patients. The use of curcumin, a natural compound with antitumor properties, in HIPEC is of interest due to its lower side effects compared to conventional drugs and potential for increased efficacy through direct delivery to the peritoneal cavity. Methods An in vitro hyperthermic model was developed to simulate clinical HIPEC conditions. Three colon cancer cell lines (SK-CO-1, COLO205, SNU-C1) representing different genetic mutations (p53, KRAS, BRAF) were treated with either curcumin (25 µM) or mitomycin-C (1 µM) for 1, 2, or 3 hours. Post-treatment, cells were incubated at 37°C (normothermia) or 42°C (hyperthermia). Cell viability and proliferation were assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-treatment using Annexin V/PI, MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion, and Hoffman microscopy. Results Hyperthermia significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy of curcumin, evidenced by a two-fold reduction in cell viability compared to normothermia across all cell lines. In the SNU-C1 cell line, which harbors a p53 mutation, mitomycin-C failed to significantly impact cell viability, unlike curcumin, suggesting mutation-specific differences in treatment response. Discussion The findings indicate that hyperthermia augments the antitumor effects of curcumin in vitro, supporting the hypothesis that curcumin could be a more effective HIPEC agent than traditional drugs like mitomycin-C. Mutation-associated differences in response to treatments were observed, particularly in p53 mutant cells. While further studies are needed, these preliminary results suggest that curcumin in HIPEC could represent a novel therapeutic strategy for CRC patients with peritoneal metastases. This approach may offer improved outcomes with fewer side effects, particularly in genetically distinct CRC subtypes.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is the only treatment for hepatic insufficiency as a result of acute and chronic liver injuries/pathologies that fail to recover. Unfortunately, there remains an enormous and growing gap between organ supply and demand. Although recipients on the liver transplantation waitlist have significantly higher mortality, livers are often not allocated because they are (i) classified as extended criteria or marginal livers and (ii) subjected to longer cold preservation time (>6 h) with a direct correlation of poor outcomes with longer cold ischemia. Downregulating the recipient's innate immune response to successfully tolerate a graft having longer cold ischemia times or ischemia-reperfusion injury through induction of immune tolerance in the graft and the host would significantly improve organ utilization and post-transplant outcomes. Broadly, technologies proposed for development aim to extend the life of the transplanted liver through post-transplant or recipient conditioning. In this review, we focus on the potential benefits of nanotechnology to provide unique pre-transplant grafting and recipient conditioning of extended criteria donor livers using immune tolerance induction and hyperthermic pre-conditioning.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) remains a cancer of high unmet clinical need. Current standard of care for GBM, consisting of maximal surgical resection, followed by ionisation radiation (IR) plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (TMZ), provides less than 15-month survival benefit. Efforts by conventional drug discovery to improve overall survival have failed to overcome challenges presented by inherent tumor heterogeneity, therapeutic resistance attributed to GBM stem cells, and tumor niches supporting self-renewal. In this review we describe the steps academic researchers are taking to address these limitations in high throughput screening programs to identify novel GBM combinatorial targets. We detail how they are implementing more physiologically relevant phenotypic assays which better recapitulate key areas of disease biology coupled with more focussed libraries of small compounds, such as drug repurposing, target discovery, pharmacologically active and novel, more comprehensive anti-cancer target-annotated compound libraries. Herein, we discuss the rationale for current GBM combination trials and the need for more systematic and transparent strategies for identification, validation and prioritisation of combinations that lead to clinical trials. Finally, we make specific recommendations to the preclinical, small compound screening paradigm that could increase the likelihood of identifying tractable, combinatorial, small molecule inhibitors and better drug targets specific to GBM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was shown to induce immunogenicity of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (PM-CRC) by induction of immunogenic cell death. We aimed to explore whether the addition of a checkpoint inhibitor would augment the effect of HIPEC in an experimental murine model of PM-CRC. METHODS PM-CRC was established in C57BL mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of MC38 colon cancer cells. HIPEC was administered using the closed technique with mitomycin C (MMC). Clinical and immunological parameters were compared between animals treated with HIPEC alone and those treated with HIPEC + anti-programmed death receptor-1 (aPD-1). RESULTS MMC-based HIPEC increased the overall survival of animals compared with sham-treated animals (22.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 21.14-24.53 vs. 18.9 days; 95% CI 17.6-20.3, p < 0.001). The extent of peritoneal disease as measured by the modified peritoneal carcinomatosis index was also reduced by HIPEC. This clinical benefit was accompanied by increased infiltration of CD8+, CD68+, and CD20+ cells into tumor metastases in HIPEC-treated animals compared with sham-treated animals. We identified heat shock protein (HSP) 90 as a potential immunogenic cell death protein whose expression is increased under HIPEC conditions (fold change: 2.37 ± 1.5 vs. 1 without HIPEC, p < 0.05). Combined HIPEC + PD-1 treatment ameliorated survival compared with HIPEC alone and sham treatment (24.66; 95% CI 20.13-29.2 vs. 19; 95% CI 15.85-22.14 and 14.33 days; 95% CI 9.6-19.04, respectively; p = 0.008). This clinical effect was accompanied by increased CD8+ tumor infiltration. CONCLUSIONS HIPEC induced the expression of immunogenic cell death signals that can support an anti-tumor immune response. This response can be further exploited by a checkpoint inhibitor.

Abstract
Simple Summary Efficacy of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) depends on patient selection, tumor type, delivery technique, and treatment parameters such as temperature, carrier solution, type of drug, dosage, volume, and treatment duration. Preclinical research offers a powerful tool to investigate the impact of these parameters and to assists in designing potentially more effective treatment protocols and clinical trials. This study aims to review the objectives, methods, and clinical relevance of in vivo preclinical HIPEC studies found in the literature. In total, 60 articles were included in this study. The selected articles were screened on the HIPEC parameters. Recommendations are provided and possible pitfalls are discussed on the choice of type of animal and tumor model per stratified parameters and study goal. The guidelines presented in this paper can improve the clinical relevance and impact of future in vivo HIPEC experiments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is used for treating peritoneal metastases of various origins. Present HIPEC protocols have rarely been validated for relevant parameters such as optimal agent, duration and perfusate temperature. In vitro experiments are not completely representative of clinical circumstances. Therefore, a good preclinical in vivo HIPEC model is needed in which temperature distributions can be well-controlled and are stable throughout treatments. METHODS We designed a setup able to generate and maintain a homogeneous flow during a 90-min HIPEC procedure using our in-house developed treatment planning tools and computer aided design (CAD) techniques. Twelve rats were treated with heated phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) using two catheter setups (one vs. four- inflows) and extensive thermometry. Simulated and measured thermal distribution and core temperatures were evaluated for the different setups. RESULTS Overall, the four-inflow resulted in more stable and more homogeneous thermal distributions than the one-inflow, with lower standard deviations (0.79 °C vs. 1.41 °C at the outflow, respectively) and less thermal losses. The average thermal loss was 0.4 °C lower for rats treated with the four-inflow setup. Rat core temperatures were kept stable using occasional tail cooling, and rarely exceeded 39 °C. CONCLUSION Increasing the number of inflow catheters from one to four resulted in increased flow and temperature homogeneity and stability. Tail cooling is an adequate technique to prevent rats from overheating during 90-min treatments. This validated design can improve accuracy in future in vivo experiments investigating the impact of relevant parameters on the efficacy of different HIPEC protocols.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the largest cause of cancer-induced deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most frequently observed subtype of lung cancer. Although recent studies have provided many therapeutic options, there is still a need for effective and safe treatments. This paper reports the combined effects of cinnamaldehyde (CNM), a flavonoid from cinnamon, together with hyperthermia, a therapeutic option for cancer treatment, on the A549 NSCLC cell line. A hyperthermia treatment of 43 °C potentiated the cytotoxicity of CNM in A549 cells. This was attributed to an increase in the apoptosis markers and suppression of the survival/protective factors, as confirmed by Western blot assays. Flow cytometry supported this result because the apoptotic profile, cell health profile, and cell cycle profile were regulated by CNM and hyperthermia combination therapy. The changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and its downstream target pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), were evaluated. The CNM and hyperthermia combination increased the generation of ROS and MAPK phosphorylation. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a ROS inhibitor, abolished the apoptotic events caused by CNM and hyperthermia co-treatment, suggesting that the cytotoxic effect was dependent of ROS signaling. Therefore, we suggest CNM and hyperthermia combination as an effective therapeutic option for the NSCLC treatment.

Abstract
Purpose: A proposed mechanism for the enhanced effectiveness of hyperthermia and doxorubicin (Dox) combinations is increased intracellular Dox concentrations resulting from heat-induced cell stress. The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific varied Dox and heat combinations produce measurable effects greater than the additive combination, and whether these effects can be attributed to heat-induced increases in intracellular Dox concentrations. Methods: HCT116, HT29 and CT26 cells were exposed to Dox and water bath heating independently. A clonogenic survival assay was used to determine cell killing and intracellular Dox concentrations were measured in HCT116 cells with mass spectrometry. Cells were exposed to heating at 42 °C (60 min) and 0.5 μg/ml of Dox at varying intervals. Synergy was determined by curve-fitting and isobologram analysis. Results: All cell lines displayed synergistic effects of combined heating and Dox. A maximum synergistic effect was achieved with simultaneous cell exposure to Dox and heat. For exposures at 42 ° C, the synergistic effect was most pronounced at Dox concentrations <0.5 μg/ml. Increased intracellular concentrations of Dox in HCT116 cells caused by heat-stress did not generate a concomitant thermal enhancement. Conclusions: Simultaneous exposure of HCT116 cells to heating and Dox is more effective than sequential exposure. Heat-induced cell responses are accompanied by increased intracellular Dox concentrations; however, clonogenic survival data do not support this as the cause for synergistic cytotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reproduction of the perfusion used in therapy (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) procedures preclinically represents a valuable asset for investigating new therapeutic agents that may improve patient outcomes. This article provides technical descriptions of our execution of closed and open "coliseum" abdominal perfusion techniques in a mouse model of peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS BALB/c mice presenting with disseminated colorectal cancer (CT26-luciferin cells) underwent 30-min perfusions mimicking either the closed perfusion or the coliseum perfusion technique. Disease burden was monitored by bioluminescence signaling using an in vivo imaging system. Perfusion circuits consisted of single inflow lines with either a single or dual outflow line. RESULTS Twelve mice presenting with disseminated disease underwent the closed perfusion technique. Surgical complications included perfusate leakage and organ constriction/suction into the outflow line(s). Nine mice underwent the coliseum perfusion technique with surgical debulking, using bipolar cauterization to remove tumors attached to the peritoneum. All mice survived the coliseum perfusion with limited intraoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS Fewer intraoperative complications were experienced with our coliseum perfusion technique than the closed perfusion. The methods described here can be used as a guideline for developing future perfusion murine models for investigating perfusion models useful for delivery of chemotherapy or other tumor-sensitization agents, including selective targeted agents, nanoparticles, and heat.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer remains an important cause of mortality worldwide. The presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) causes significant symptoms and is notoriously difficult to treat. Therefore, informative preclinical research into the mechanisms and possible novel treatment options of colorectal PC is essential in order to improve the prognostic outlook in these patients. Several syngeneic and xenograft animal models of colorectal PC were established, studying a wide range of experimental procedures and substances. Regrettably, more sophisticated models such as those giving rise to spontaneous PC or involving genetically engineered mice are lacking. Here, we provide an overview of all reported colorectal PC animal models and briefly discuss their use, strengths, and limitations.

Abstract
Purpose Ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis is a pathology for which effective cures are currently lacking. New research protocols seek to eradicate residual micrometastases following cytoreductive surgery by using hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or radioimmunotherapy (RIT). This study aims to first develop alpha-RIT using an anti-CD138 mAb radiolabeled with an alpha-emitter, bismuth-213 (213Bi-B-B4) and HIPEC in a nude mouse model and second to compare and combine these techniques. Material and methods A murine model of postoperative ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis was established. A pilot group of six mice received an intraperitoneal injection of luciferase-tagged SHIN-3 cells and bioluminescence was measured every day. Cytoreductive surgery was performed at day 14 (n = 4) and 29 (n = 2). Because the residual bioluminescence signal measured after surgery was equivalent to that obtained 3 days after the graft, HIPEC or alpha-RIT treatments were applied 3 days after the graft. Ten mice were treated by HIPEC with cisplatine (37.5 mg/mL), 11 with 7.4 MBq of 213Bi-B-B4, seven with 11.1 MBq of 213Bi-B-B4, and 10 mice were treated with the combined therapy (HIPEC + 7.4 MBq of 213Bi-B-B4). Eleven mice received no treatment. Bioluminescence imaging and survival were assessed. Results Alpha-RIT 7.4 MBq and 11.1 MBq significantly improved survival (p = 0.0303 and p = 0.0070, respectively), whereas HIPEC and HIPEC + alpha-RIT treatments did not significantly ameliorate survival as compared to the control group. Conclusion Survival was significantly increased by alpha-RIT treatment in mice with peritoneal carcinomatosis of ovarian origin; however, HIPEC alone or in combination with alpha-RIT had no significant effect.

Suppression of lung metastases by the CD26/DPP4 inhibitor Vildagliptin in mice. Clin Exp Metastasis 2015; 32:677-87.

Abstract
Metastases rather than primary cancers determine nowadays the survival of patients. One of the most common primary malignancies is colorectal cancer and this type of tumor is characterized by a high tendency to spread metastases to the lung and liver. CD26/DPP4 is a transmembrane molecule with enzymatic functions which cleaves biologically active peptides. Recently, CD26/DPP4 has become the focus of cancer research and it was shown that CD26/DPP4-positive cancer cells display increased metastatic activity. Here, we tested if the CD26/DPP4-inhibitor Vildagliptin suppresses the development and growth of mouse colorectal lung metastases. This inhibitor of CD26/DPP4 was employed on mouse (C57BL/6) colorectal lung metastases, established by intravenous injection of the syngeneic cell line MC38. For mechanistic analysis, a subcutaneous tumor model was used. The treatment with Vildagliptin significantly suppressed both, the incidence and growth of lung metastases. Autophagy markers (LC3, p62, and ATF4) decreased, apoptosis increased (TUNEL, pH3/Ki-76), and the cell cycle regulator pCDC2 was inhibited. In conclusion, we here showed an anti-tumor effect of Vildagliptin via downregulation of autophagy resulting in increased apoptosis and modulation of the cell cycle. We therefore propose Vildagliptin for the evaluation as a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of colorectal cancer lung metastases.

Abstract
During development and disease, cells migrate collectively in response to gradients in physical, chemical and electrical cues. Despite its physiological significance and potential therapeutic applications, electrotactic collective cell movement is relatively less well understood. Here, we analyze the combined effect of intercellular interactions and electric fields on the directional migration of non-transformed mammary epithelial cells, MCF-10A. Our data show that clustered cells exhibit greater sensitivity to applied electric fields but align more slowly than isolated cells. Clustered cells achieve half-maximal directedness with an electric field that is 50% weaker than that required by isolated cells; however, clustered cells take ∼2-4 fold longer to align. This trade-off in greater sensitivity and slower dynamics correlates with the slower speed and intrinsic directedness of collective movement even in the absence of an electric field. Whereas isolated cells exhibit a persistent random walk, the trajectories of clustered cells are more ballistic as evidenced by the superlinear dependence of their mean square displacement on time. Thus, intrinsically-directed, slower clustered cells take longer to redirect and align with an electric field. These findings help to define the operating space and the engineering trade-offs for using electric fields to affect cell movement in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Low millimolar concentrations of ascorbate are capable of inflicting lethal damage on a high proportion of cancer cells lines, yet leave non-transformed cell lines unscathed. Extracellular generation of hydrogen peroxide, reflecting reduction of molecular oxygen by ascorbate, has been shown to mediate this effect. Although some cancer cell lines express low catalase activity, this cannot fully explain the selective sensitivity of cancer cells to hydrogen peroxide. Ranzato and colleagues have presented evidence for a plausible new explanation of this sensitivity - a high proportion of cancers, via NADPH oxidase complexes or dysfunctional mitochondria, produce elevated amounts of superoxide. This superoxide, via a transition metal-catalyzed transfer of an electron to the hydrogen peroxide produced by ascorbate, can generate deadly hydroxyl radical (Haber-Weiss reaction). It thus can be predicted that concurrent measures which somewhat selectively boost superoxide production in cancers will enhance their sensitivity to i.v. ascorbate therapy. One way to achieve this is to increase the provision of substrate to cancer mitochondria. Measures which inhibit the constitutive hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) activity in cancers (such as salsalate and mTORC1 inhibitors, or an improvement of tumor oxygenation), or that inhibit the HIF-1-inducible pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (such as dichloroacetate), can be expected to increase pyruvate oxidation. A ketogenic diet should provide more lipid substrate for tumor mitochondria. The cancer-killing activity of 42°C hyperthermia is to some degree contingent on an increase in oxidative stress, likely of mitochondrial origin; reports that hydrogen peroxide synergizes with hyperthermia in killing cancer cells suggest that hyperthermia and i.v. ascorbate could potentiate each other's efficacy. A concurrent enhancement of tumor oxygenation might improve results by decreasing HIF-1 activity while increasing the interaction of ascorbic acid with oxygen. An increased pool of labile iron in cancer cells may contribute to the selective susceptibility of many cancers to i.v. ascorbate; antagonism of NF-kappaB activity with salicylate, and intravenous iron administration, could be employed to further elevate free iron in cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) accompanied by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising technique in the treatment of peritoneal metastatic disease. The complexity and the potential adverse effects of the procedure can significantly affect patients' Quality of Life (QoL). Few studies have assessed the impact of CRS + HIPEC in patients' QoL using structured and validated tools. This is a systematic review of the currently available published data, investigating the QoL after performing CRS + HIPEC for tumours of varying primary origin. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the studies indexed in PubMed database until July 2014, using as key phrase "quality of life" and "intraperitoneal chemotherapy", including studies using only validated questionnaires for assessing quality of life parameters. RESULTS 20 studies were identified that matched the criteria set. The results of these studies, although of significant heterogeneity, clearly demonstrate that although overall QoL scores drop in the immediate postoperative period, at an average of 3 months post procedure they recover to 80%-100% or even exceed baseline values. Furthermore, between 6 and 12 months postoperatively, overall QoL is improved in survivors compared to pre-operative status. CONCLUSIONS CRS and HIPEC is feasible as a treatment modality in selected patients with peritoneal metastatic disease and can preserve or even improve patients' overall quality of life.

Abstract
To improve prognosis in recurrent glioblastoma we developed a treatment protocol based on a combination of drugs not traditionally thought of as cytotoxic chemotherapy agents but that have a robust history of being well-tolerated and are already marketed and used for other non-cancer indications. Focus was on adding drugs which met these criteria: a) were pharmacologically well characterized, b) had low likelihood of adding to patient side effect burden, c) had evidence for interfering with a recognized, well-characterized growth promoting element of glioblastoma, and d) were coordinated, as an ensemble had reasonable likelihood of concerted activity against key biological features of glioblastoma growth. We found nine drugs meeting these criteria and propose adding them to continuous low dose temozolomide, a currently accepted treatment for relapsed glioblastoma, in patients with recurrent disease after primary treatment with the Stupp Protocol. The nine adjuvant drug regimen, Coordinated Undermining of Survival Paths, CUSP9, then are aprepitant, artesunate, auranofin, captopril, copper gluconate, disulfiram, ketoconazole, nelfinavir, sertraline, to be added to continuous low dose temozolomide. We discuss each drug in turn and the specific rationale for use- how each drug is expected to retard glioblastoma growth and undermine glioblastoma's compensatory mechanisms engaged during temozolomide treatment. The risks of pharmacological interactions and why we believe this drug mix will increase both quality of life and overall survival are reviewed.

Abstract
The development of suitable animal models is essential to experimental research on intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC). This review of the English literature (MEDLINE) presents a detailed analysis of current animal models and gives recommendations for future experimental research. Special consideration should be given to cytotoxic drug dose and concentration, tumor models, and outcome parameters.
