Popis: Abstract Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) pathway has vital role in cancer immune escape and its upregulation leads to immunosuppressive environment which is associated with poor prognosis and progression in various cancers like melanoma. Previously, we showed the antitumoral efficacy of nanoliposomal form of Epacadostat (Lip-EPA), as an IDO1 inhibitor. Herein, we used Lip-EPA as a combination approach with liposomal gp100 (Lip-gp100) anti-cancer vaccine in melanoma model. Here, we showed that B16F10 tumor express IDO1 so using Lip-EPA will enhance the efficacy of vaccine therapy. The biodistribution of ICG-labelled liposomal form of EPA showed the remarkable accumulation of drug at tumor site. In an in vivo study, Lip-EPA enhanced the antitumor efficacy of Lip-gp100 in which the IDO mRNA expression was decreased (~ fourfold) in tumor samples. Also, we identified a significant increase in the number of infiltrated T lymphocytes (p 47.36%) in treated mice. Our study demonstrated that novel combination of Lip-EPA and Lip-gp100 was effective treatment with capability of being used in further clinical studies.
