20100004304METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF MALIGNANT MELANOMA, BREAST, PROSTATE, COLON, PAPILLARY THYROID AND PANCREATIC CANCER - It is now recognized that chronic inflammation is an important risk factor for the development of cancer. The proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 is implicated in cancer because it is important for the activation of STAT, a key regulator of cancer growth, survival, metastasis, immune evasion and angiogenesis. Increased IL-6 and Stat-3 exists in vitro in pancreatic cancer, malignant melanoma, papillary thyroid cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer cells with high basal expression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and Wnt5a. IL6/STAT3 activation, mediated by overexpressed TLR3 signaling, appears important in the tumor growth process, it may increase Wnt5a signaling, and be associated with increased cellular growth and migration. Using a novel inhibitor of pathologic TLR3 signaling (5-phenylmethimazole [C10]) we have demonstrated decreases in these markers plus suppression of cell growth and migration in human pancreatic cancer, malignant melanoma, papillary thyroid cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer cells.2010-01-07
