However the half-life of IFN is too short to have a stable therapeutic effect. To overcome this problem serum immunoglobulin has been fused to IFN. In this study the efficacy of serum immunoglobulin fused INFs si-IFN1 and si-IFN2 was evaluated on athymic mice bearing colon 26 adenocarcinoma cells. Seven days after the implantation of tumor cells each group of mice was injected once a week with si-IFN1 and si-IFN2 at two different concentrations 10 X 30 pg kg and 50 X 150 pg kg . A slight anti-tumoral effect was observed in all 10 X groups compared to the control. In the 50 X groups however si-IFN1 and si-IFN2 showed significant anti- tumoral effects compared to the control. To gain more information on the mechanisms associated with the decrease of tumor size a Western blot assay of apoptosis-related molecules was performed. The protein expression of cytochrome c caspase 9 6 and 3 were increased by si-IFN1 and si-IFN2. These 2 IFNs also increased the expressions of p53 p21 Bax and Bad. Interestingly si-IFN1 and si-IFN2 decreased the expression of VEGF-p. Taken together serum immunoglobulin fused IFNs increased therapeutic efficacy under current experimental condition.
