- W2018590090 abstract "<h3>Background</h3> Imiquimod is a local immune response modifier that has demonstrated potent antiviral and antitumor activity. It enhances innate and acquired immune responses via endogenous cytokine production and has proven efficacious in clearing superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC). <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the mechanisms by which topical imiquimod treatment leads to sBCC clearance in vivo. <h3>Design</h3> A pilot, open-label, nonrandomized study. <h3>Setting</h3> Zurich, Switzerland. <h3>Patients</h3> Six persons 18 years or older who had nonrecurrent primary tumors that had not undergone previous biopsy or treatment but were suitable for treatment by surgical excision. The tumors were located on the scalp, extremities, or trunk; had a minimum diameter of 1 cm and a maximum diameter of 2 cm; and were clinically and histologically consistent with sBCC. <h3>Interventions</h3> Daily application of 5% imiquimod cream 5 times per week for a maximum of 6 weeks. When the tumor began to show signs of erosion, it was surgically excised. <h3>Outcome Measures</h3> Parameters reflecting tumor apoptotic status (Bcl-2), expression of death receptors (Fas and Fas ligand [FasL]), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM) 1, immunosuppressive microenvironment (interleukin 10), and antigen presentation machinery (transporter associated with antigen presentation [TAP] 1) before and after imiquimod treatment were evaluated. The changes in the interferon γ messenger RNA (mRNA) levels relative to CD4 and CD8 mRNA were assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. <h3>Results</h3> Tumor cells became more susceptible to apoptosis through decreased Bcl-2 expression after treatment with 5% imiquimod cream. Inflammatory infiltrate developed rapidly (within 3 to 5 days after treatment initiation) and was associated with the enhanced expression of ICAM-1. This early response tended to be a mixed cellular response of macrophages and lymphocytes. Interferon γ was produced by CD4 and CD8 T cells. Imiquimod treatment induced a massive increase in macrophage peritumoral and intratumoral infiltration. Interleukin 10 was produced by infiltrating cells but was not produced by tumor cells. Tumor expression of TAP-1 and Fas/FasL appeared to be unaffected in the first 5 days of treatment." @default.
