High-dose ascorbic acid synergizes with anti-PD1 therapy in non-small cell lung cancer in vitro and in vivo models by Hak Su Kim, Seung-hyun Kwon, Ok Kyung Choi, Taekyu Lim, Taekyu Lim

“…The combination of anti-PD1 and high-dose AA showed dramatic antitumor effects in a syngeneic mouse model of lung cancer by significantly reducing tumor growth and increasing CD8+ T cell-dependent cytotoxicity and macrophage activity. Comprehensive protein analysis confirmed that high-dose AA in anti-PD1-treated tumor tissues enhanced the antitumor effects by regulating various immune-related mechanisms, including the B cell and T cell receptor signaling pathways, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, and natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity.DiscussionOur results suggest that high-dose AA may be a promising adjuvant to potentiate the efficacy of anti-PD1 immunotherapy.…”
