Abstract

Provided are methods of treatment for tumors. In particular, methods are provided for use of a chemically modified IL-10 to treat tumors.

Claims (21)

1. A method of inhibiting or reducing growth of a tumor or cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:

administering to the subject an effective amount of a pegylated interleukin-10 (PEG-IL-10), wherein the cancer or tumor is epithelial cell cancer, endothelial cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, papillomavirus-induced cancer, adenocarcinoma, carcinoma, melanoma, sarcoma or teratocarcinoma.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 comprises a methoxy-PEG-aldehyde (PALD-PEG) linker.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 inhibits growth of the tumor or cancer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 reduces the size of the tumor or cancer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein PEG-IL-10 increases infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the tumor when compared to non-pegylated IL-10.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 is co-administered with at least one chemotherapeutic agent.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is at least one of temozolomide, gemcitabine, doxorubicin, and interferon-alpha.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tumor or cancer is selected from the group consisting of colon cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, and glioblastoma.

9. A method of treating a subject suffering from a cancer or tumor, the method comprising:

administering to the subject an effective amount of a pegylated interleukin-10 (PEG-IL-10), wherein the cancer or tumor is epithelial cell cancer, endothelial cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, papillomavirus-induced cancer, adenocarcinoma, carcinoma, melanoma, sarcoma or teratocarcinoma.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 comprises a methoxy-PEG-aldehyde (PALD-PEG) linker.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 inhibits growth of the cancer or tumor.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 reduces the size of the tumor or cancer.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein PEG-IL-10 increases infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the tumor when compared to non-pegylated IL-10.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 is co-administered with at least one chemotherapeutic agent.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the chemotherapeutic agent is at least one of temozolomide, gemcitabine, doxorubicin, and interferon-alpha.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein PEG-IL-10 reduces metastasis of a cancer or tumor.

17. The method of claim 9 , wherein the tumor or cancer is selected from the group consisting of colon cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, and glioblastoma.

18. The method of claim 9 , wherein the subject is human.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the PEG-IL-10 is human PEG-IL-10 (PEG-hIL-10).
