Description of Gardiquimod

Gardiquimod is a Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist that inhibits HIV-1 infection of human macrophages and activation of T cells[1, 2]. When combined with plant-derived norovirus virus-like particles (NVVLPs) and administered intranasally, Gardiquimod induces NVVLP-specific serum IgG and its subtype responses and mucosal IgA responses in the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts[3].

In vitro, treatment of mouse spleen cells with Gardiquimod (0-2.5µg/mL) for 48h significantly induced cell proliferation[4]. Treatment of RAW264.7 mouse macrophages with Gardiquimod (1µg/mL) for 24h significantly induced the expression of CD40, CD80, and CD86[4]. Pretreatment of HaCaT cells with Gardiquimod (2µg/mL) for 2h downregulated the expression of Ca2+-induced differentiation markers and activated the Raf-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways in HaCaT cells[5]. Gardiquimod (3µg/mL) treatment of the human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line BxPC-3 inhibited cell proliferation and migration, induced apoptosis, downregulated the expression levels of cyclin B1, cyclin E, and B-cell lymphoma 2, and upregulated the expression of B-cell-associated X protein[6].

In vivo, subcutaneous B16 melanoma model mice treated with Gardiquimod (1mg/kg) via peritumoral injection twice, combined with a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine, significantly inhibited tumor growth[4].

Protocol of Gardiquimod

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

Splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

Proliferation was determined by culturing 5×104 freshly isolated splenocytes from C57BL/6 mice with 0-2.5µg/mL imiquimod or Gardiquimod in 96-well plates for 48h. MTT (20mL, 5mg/mL) was added 4h before the end of the incubation period. DMSO was used to dissolve granules, and the absorbance at 570nm of each sample was determined with a microplate autoreader.

Reaction Conditions

0-2.5µg/mL; 48h

Applications

Both agonists promoted the proliferation of lymphocytes with a greater effect at the dosage of 1.25mg/ml, and Gardiquimod seemed to be more efficient than imiquimod.
Animal experiment [1]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 mice

Preparation Method

C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with 53104 B16 cells. On day 7, mice received an intravenous infusion of 4×104 dendritic cells (DCs), and on days 8 and 10, mice received 1mg/kg of either Gardiquimod or imiquimod by peritumoral injection. Control mice were injected with an equivalent volume of PBS. The tumor volumes were calculated and the growth curves of melanomas in treated mice were determined. The treated mice were killed on day 13, and tumors were weighed. The tumor tissues were analyzed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.

Dosage form

1mg/kg; peritumoral injection

Applications

Combination therapy with Gardiquimod or imiquimod and DC vaccine inhibits the growth of subcutaneous B16 melanomas.
