摘要

Mechanisms underlying tumor growth retarding effect of proton pump inhibitor pantoprazole (PPZ) on a murine T cell lymphoma, designated as Dalton's lymphoma (DL), were investigated. In vivo administration of PPZ to tumor-bearing mice resulted in retardation of tumor progression owing to an inhibition of tumor cell survival and augmented apoptosis. An alteration in the parameters of tumor microenvironment and modulation in the expression of cell growth regulatory molecules is indicated to be involved in PPZ-dependent tumor growth retardation. These findings will help in optimizing therapeutic strategies against cancer using PPZ.
