SONIRE Therapeutics Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tohru Satoh; hereinafter “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the results of its joint research with Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences have been published in a peer-reviewed academic journal. This research was conducted in collaboration with Associate Professor Rui Tada of the Laboratory for Immunopharmacology of Microbial Products and Professor Yoichi Negishi of the Laboratory of Drug Delivery and Molecular Biopharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences.
In this study, Trigger HIFU for a small-animal model based on the same principle as SONIRE’s HIFU therapy system (development code: Suizenji) was used to evaluate the immune-stimulating effects of HIFU on tumors. Trigger HIFU was applied only to the right-side tumor in mice bearing tumors on both flanks, a significant suppression of tumor growth was also observed in the untreated left-side tumor. Detailed mechanistic analyses revealed an increase in tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T cells, demonstrating that Trigger HIFU activates CD8+ T cell-dependent anti-tumor immunity and may exert systemic effects even on distant metastatic lesions.
