Effective treatment of squamous cell carcinomas with ingenol mebutate gel in immunologically intact SKH1 mice.


ABSTRACT: Ingenol mebutate has recently been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (USA) as a topical treatment for actinic keratoses. Herein, we describe the efficacy of ingenol mebutate for the topical treatment of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) using a wild-type mouse model (SKH1) and the UV-induced mouse SCC cell line, T7. Daily treatment for 2 days with 0.25 % ingenol mebutate gel produced a cure rate of 70 %, with 0 % for placebo gel. Electron microscopy revealed swelling of cancer cell mitochondria within 1 h, with disruption of the inner mitochondrial membranes evident at 6 h post treatment. Primary necrosis of cancer cells was clearly evident by 24 h. Treatment was associated with local haemorrhage and a prodigious neutrophil infiltrate, with anti-T7 antibodies also detected. This is the first report of the successful treatment of SCC tumours with ingenol mebutate gel in wild-type mice, and supports the view that ingenol mebutate induces primary necrosis and activates the immune system.
