It is not surprising to see reduced TGFβ-1 levels in mouse sera by these therapeutic adenoviruses since they all express sTGFβRIIFc that can bind TGFβ-1 and neutralize its downstream signaling events via Type II receptors, but the increase of serum GM-CSF levels are also encouraging because many GM-CSF based treatment strategies are currently used in the clinic or hold promise in clinical trials for several cancer types, including breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene CSF2 and breast carcinoma.
