Introduction: To observe the abscopal effect related to acute inflammation in tumors with immunity reactions induced by an intratumoral injection of a chemotherapy drug with DNP or penicillin.
Methods: The C57BL/6 mice melanoma injected by a difference drug with DNP or penicillin and dissected for qPCR assay of expression of immune genes. Results: It showed that drug induced inflammation with expression of the CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa was detected at different days. The different drug and hapten induced a different expression of these genes. Group B, with Adr and DNP or penicillin, induces high expression,at day 1. With DNP, CD 11bc, CD8 and TNFa is especially high, while with Penicillin, CD11b/c, CD4 and CD8 is high. Group C, with BLM and DNP or penicillin, induces gene expression. DNP does not have higher gene expression, but penicillin did for IL12aÂ, CD11b/c, TNFaÂ. Group D, with PYM and DNP or penicillin, induces the genes’ expression. DNP does not have higher expression, but penicillin has a special higher expression of IL12a at day 4.
Discussion: Use of penicillin alone can induce strong immunity expression of IL12aÂ, CD11b/c, TNFaÂ, DNP, Adr, BLM and PYM alone cannot induce same immunity. It is the most important of CD11b/c expression in acute inflammation for tumor antigen presenting cell in tumor immunity reaction which related to be abscopal effect. A drug with DNP or Penicillin intratumoral injection can induce an acute inflammation in tumor with immunity reaction.

Introduction
Drug delivery, including intratumoral injection of anticancer drugs, is applied extensively in the drug development of various formulations for improving patient compliance and convenience [1]. Current technologies allow drugs to release delivery anywhere from days to years. Implantable systems, for example, can delivery drugs locally for months or years. Despite this innovative progress, substantial improvement in the advancement of cancer patients’ clinical care is required. Drug delivery technologies can target a specific area with drugs, including intratumoral injection or drug slow release to minimize drug-originated, systemically toxic effects [2]. Thirty years ago, researchers discovered how to deliver a drug to a tumor with water soluble drugs. By overcoming the challenges associated with the viscosity of injections, it reaches a better distribution within a tumor [2]. Therapies of increased complexity were inspired by the study of a local anticancer drug delivery, with reactive oxygen species (ROS), in an H2O2 solution for easier injection and even distribution within tumor for a prolonged release3. When the anticancer drug is injected intratumorally, this immunological therapy battles induced immunological reactions [3]. An Intratumoral injection with a single drug or combination of drugs is extensively researched [4, 5]. Limited research exists regarding how hapten enhances survival time when injected intratumorally with anticancer drugs. The findings of this research indicate that acute inflammation increases in tumors due to CD4 and CD8 increasing [6-9]. No reports explain the relationship between tumors’ inflammation, induced by intratumoral injection of dug and hapten, and induced acute inflammation. Animal model studies, detailing the investigation of multiple immune factors, are lacking. The mechanism of the abscopal effect in animal model is not understood. Therefore, we used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and histoimmunological staining methods to compare the immunological reaction of animal tumors post-intratumoral injection chemotherapy drug with hapten. The hapten components tested were 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP) or penicillin.
Materials and Methods
Preparation of the Tumor Model:
C57BL/6 mouse was used for melanoma in the B16 tumor model. The tumor was dissected under aseptic conditions, placed in the plate, and cut into small pieces (<1mm3). The homogenate was filtered. Then, the filtrate was diluted into tumor cell suspension with 0.9% sodium chloride injection (2×107/ml). To establish the subcutaneous solid tumor model of mouse, the C57 mouse was inoculated with the prepared tumor filtrate through subcutaneous injection on the underarm of the left foreleg under aseptic conditions. We selected the subcutaneous transplantation of the solid tumor in mouse to be the related tumor model. When tumor growth reached 5-8mm; the intratumoral injection dose is 0.1ml for 100mm3 tumor volume for mouse in each group of different combination of drugs at one time. all experimental protocols were approved by ethic committee of Taimei Baofahospital and all methods for experiments were performed in accordance with ARRIVE guidelines (https://arriveguidelines.org).
Preparation for Combination and Dosage of Drugs and Hapten:
There were a total of 108 model mice. Group A was a control with sperate injections of DNP (A1) and penicillin (A2). Group B included the injection of DNP and H2O2 with Doxorubicin hydrochloride (Adr) (B1) and penicillin and H2O2 with Adr (B2), and Adr and H2O2 (B3). Group C included the injection of DNP and H2O2 with Bleomycin hydrochloride injection (BLM) (C1) and Penicillin and H2O2 with BLM (C2), and BLM and H2O2 (C3). Group D included the injection of DNP and H2O2 with Pingyangmycin (PYM) (D1) and penicillin and H2O with PYM (D2), and PYM and H2O2 (D3) (Table 1).
Treatment Method:
When the diameter of the tumor reached 5-8mm on experiment day 0, after the inoculation of tumor cells, randomly grouped intratumoral injections were performed with a corresponding set of drug combinations (Table 1). Every 3 mice within each experimental group were

Pathological histochemical staining:
Various tissues were prepared for observation of morphological changes under the light microscope and pictures were taken as usual practice. Immunohistochemical staining of CD4, CD11, FOXp3, CD8 and CD86 was performed on day 1 and 7.
PCR quantitative assay:
Small parts of the tumor tissues were taken for the detection the expression of various proliferation. The genes were correlated with immunological reactions by the procedure listed as follows.
1 Primers:
Real qPCR primers of various proliferation and primers of various immune factor as well as immunity-related factors, were shown in Table 2.
RNA Isolation and Reverse transcription:
The cryopreserved, fresh tumor samples were rapidly transferred to the liquid nitrogen precooled mortar and were grinded with continuous add of liquid nitrogen until the tumor tissues turned into powder (without obvious visible particles; if the tumor tissues were not grinded completed, it might influence the yield and quality of RNA). Then lysate Buffer was made by adding 20ul of 50X DTT to every 1ul of Buffer RL. The grinded powder was added to a 1.5 ml sterilization tube containing 350 μl of Buffer with lysate. The tube was oscillated until there was no obvious sediment in the lysate [10, 11]. After abandoning the filtrate, 600 μl of Buffer RWB was slowly and evenly added to the RNA spin column for the second time. The mixed solution was put for centrifugation at 12000 rpm for 30 seconds and the filtrate was abandoned again. The RNA Spin Column was centrifugated at 12000 rpm for 2 minutes and was then put in the 1.5 ml RNASE- free Column Tube. 50 μl of RNASE-Free dH2O was added to the RNA Spin Column at the center of the membrane by pipette. After 5 minutes of standing still at room temperature, the solution was centrifugated for 2 minutes. Then elution of RNA was performed. In order to acquire a high concentration of RNA, the eluent of the 1.5 ml RNASE-Free Column Tube was put back in the RNA Spin Column. After standing still at room temperature for 5 minutes, 2 minutes of centrifugation at 12000 rpm, elution of RNA, and protein electrophoresis was performed [10, 11]. At a maximum volume of 6 μl, 4 μg of RNA were used for the reverse transcription. Reagents from the Superscript III First Strand Synthesis Super Mix Kit (Invitrogen, San Diego, Ca, USA) were added in the order described in Invitrogen’s manual12. The samples were then kept on –20°C until further use in RT-PCR.

The preparation of the Electrophoresis liquid and Usage of the PCR Apparatus:
Related materials were added into 1.5ml EP tube according to Invitrogen’s manual. The 96-well plates were out, and 16.8 μl of PCR reaction liquid was added to each well of a 96- well plate. No. 10 primer was added to the first 3 wells and the remaining primers were added to the wells according to their serial numbers. The plates were then covered with micro–Amp PCR a compatible DNA/RNA/RNASE-FREE membrane and placed into 7500 Real Time PCR system. Then the after subjecting it to the 7500-software v 2.0.6., 20 μl of samples was reacted at 95°C for 5s and 60°C for 30s. It completed after approximately 92 minutes [10, 11]. After the software finished running, qPCR analysis was conducted.
Results
Pathological and Immunohistochemical Test of C57BL/6 Mice:
The immunohistochemical test was performed in experiment group C with CD4, CD11, FOXp3, CD8 and CD86 on day 1 and 7 resulted in positive staining, demonstrating that when an immunological reaction is induced by intratumoral injection with drug and hapten, it can induce the special expression of CD11 and CD86. This indicates that the activation of tumor antigen presentation, hapten of DNP, and hapten of penicillin can each induce an immunological response. Therefore, both DNP and penicillin can be used as a hapten to modify tumor antigens in order to increase their capability of antigenicity. The following staining are the different expression of CD4, CD11, FOXp3, CD8 and CD86 (Figure 1).
Fluorescent quantitative assay
The immunohistochemical stain is often used for assaying the protein expression of special T cell. It is very complicated and costly; therefore, the RNA quantitative PCR is executed for test the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFaÂ, it is found that it is a more precise and very practical assay than the immunohistochemical staining. Experiment B1 was performed to compare the Adr and DNP. A comparison was

Figure 1-2 CD11: The immunohistochemical staining shows the CD11 positive at 100x (Fig.1-2A) and 400x (Fig.1-2B) at day1, showed CD11 cells activation of special the immune reaction happened after injection intratumoral with drug and hapten day 1.
Figure 1-3 FOXp3: The immunohistochemical staining shows the FOXp3 positive at 100x (Fig.1-3A) and 400x (Fig.1-3B) in B1:BLM+DNP+H2O2 at day1, showed expression of FOXp3 for special the immune reaction happened after injection intratumoral with drug and hapten day 1 .
Figure 1-4 CD4: The immunohistochemical staining shows the CD4 positive at 100x (Fig.1-4A) and 400x (Fig.1-4B) in B1:BLM+DNP+H2O2 at day7, showed expression of CD4 for special the immune reaction happened after injection intratumoral with drug and hapten day 7.
Figure 1-5 CD8: The immunohistochemical staining shows the CD8 positive at 100x (Fig.1-5A) and 400x Fig.1-5B) in B1:BLM+DNP+H2O2 at day7, showed expression of CD8 for special the immune reaction happened after injection intratumoral with drug and hapten day 7.
made between the genes expression on intratumoral injection day 1, 4 and 7. Results indicate that there was an increase in the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFaÂ, compared with the expression on day 1, untreated samples. There was an especially heightened expression of CD 11c, CD8 and TNFa at day 1, followed by a drop on day 4 and 7. Therefore, the immunity is related with the TNFa expression. The immune response of CD11b/c, CD8 with new tumor antigens result in tumor antigens presentation and vaccination. The expression of CD4, CD8, and CD11 in the qPCR assay correlates with the immunohistochemical staining of CD4, CD8 and CD11. The qPCR assay expression of related genes proved to be an effective replacement of the immunohistochemical staining (Table 3.2 and Figure 2-1 B1). Experiment B2 compared Adr and penicillin. A comparison was made between the genes’ expression on intratumoral injection day 1, 4 and 7. Results demonstrate that there was an increase in the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8, and TNFaÂ, compared with the day 1, untreated levels. After day 1, there was an immediately drop, yet the level of expression was still higher than DNP group on day 4 and 7. The especially heightened expression for CD11c, CD4, and CD8 on day 1 relates the inflammatory reaction to IL12a expression. The immune response of new tumor antigens with CD11c, CD4, and CD8, results in the
Figure 1-6 CD86: The immunohistochemical staining shows the CD86 positive at 100x (Fig.1-6A) and 400x (Fig.1-6B) in B1:BLM+DNP+H2O2 at day7, showed expression of CD86 for special the immune reaction happened after injection intratumoral with drug and hapten day 7.

presentation and vaccination of tumor antigens (Table 3.2 and Figure 2-1 B2). Experiment C1compared BLM and DNP. A comparison was made between the genes’ expression on intratumoral injection day 1, 4 and 7. Results demonstrate that there was an increase in the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8, TNFa compared with the day 1, untreated levels. Still, this demonstrates that the inflammatory reaction was related with all the factors given the immune response of new tumor antigens for inducing the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8 and TNFa in response to the tumor antigens presentation and vaccination with DNP (Table 3.3 and Figure 2-2 C1). Experiment C2 compared BLM and penicillin. A comparison was made between the genes’ expression on intratumoral injection day 1, 4 and 7 in C2 group. Results exhibited it a higher expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8, TNFa compared with the untreated, day 1 expression levels. This outlines a special heightened expression for IL12aÂ, CD11c, TNFaÂ. Additionally, the results lead to the conclusion that the inflammation reaction is related with all the factors because of the immune response of the new tumor antigens with the higher expression of IL12aÂ, CD11c, and TNFa by the tumor antigens presentation and vaccination with penicillin (Table and Figure 2-2 C2). The D1 experiment was performed with PYM and DNP. A comparison was made for the genes expressed after intratumoral injection day 1, 4 and 7. Results show that on day 1, 4 and 7, the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8, TNFa increased when compared with the day 1, untreated expression levels. This evidenced the immune response of new tumor antigens with the expression of these genes (Table and Figure 1-3 D1). The D2 experiment was performed with PYM and DNP to compare the genes expressed after intratumoral injection on day 1, 4 and 7. Results showed that on day 1, 4 and 7, the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11c, CD8, and TNFa was higher in the day 1, untreated sample. There was an especially high expression of IL12a on day 4, showing the immune response of new tumor antigens to the expression of genes (Table 3.4 and Figure 2-3 D2).
Discussion
The concept of intratumoral drug delivery has been studied for several decades, simple intratumoral injection of a drug is a cancer therapy technique that started 100 years ago [4, 13]. Successful instances with significant reduction in both toxicity and tumor growth have shown the clinical feasibility of such treatment options [4, 13]. All current methods in clinic practice are only focused on the local damage of a tumor [4, 13]. They lack a designed strategy to stimulate body immunity against cancer cell while it kills the tumor

locally. In the past years, research published outlined how hapten enhanced survival time in the treatment of advanced lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and late stage of pancreatic cancer by ultra-minimum incision personalized intratumoral chemoimmunotherapy (UMIPIC) can analyze the effect of this immune booster [14-16]. Another intriguing factor in the process of intra-tumoral chemotherapy is creating an in-situ vaccine depot in tumors with a tumor- specific antigen [4, 13]. Furthermore, UMIPIC can not only induce a tumor in-vivo vaccinate-like effect, but it also enhances systematic immunity due to the addition of hapten [17]. In fact, after intratumoral injection of a chemotherapy drug to a tumor, acute inflammation and tumor coagulation is induced. These effects provide the chance for an interaction of multiple tautologous tumor antigens, released from cell death and DC cells. This interaction can be a priming event for T cell or B cell response. Therefore, these clinical cases prove that the role of hapten is important in enhancing the immunological response of tumor associated antigens. DNP as a hapten for melanoma vaccine was proven in clinical test after dealing melanoma cells with 2, 4-dinitrophenol (DNP) and radiation killing in vitro. It showed an improved survival rate for patients and that DNP has a function of haptenation with tumor antigens [18]. However, DNP was not approved by the FDA as either as a drug or as a component in drug formulation.
Recently, research was published to compare of DNP and penicillin’s in vivo hapenation and vaccination. Quantitative PCR assays of the expression of the CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa genes in animals. This is further evidence that haptenation and vaccination is related to special inflammation in tumors. There are immunity reactions in different steps, and some samples were proven using a traditional immunohistochemical staining method. The result of the qPCR assay run in this study showed the changes of the contents of various fiber proliferations, inflammatory factor and factors related to immunity of C57BL/6 mice before and after CDP at day1, 4 and 7 (Table 3 and Figure 2). Thus, we concluded that the intratumor injection of the chemotherapy drug with DNP and penicillin hapten can cause significant expression of all genes of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFaÂ. There was variation in the expression of immunological genes when the different drugs were combined with the hapten components, DNP or penicillin, for injection. Experiment B1, with Adr and DNP, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and There was higher expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa than in the untreated tumor of at day 1. Expression was especially high for CD 11bc, CD8 and TNFa at day 1, and then it immediately dropped to a lower level. This expression revealed that the immune response of new tumor antigens with CD 11c, CD8, TNFa occurred in the tumor antigens presentation and vaccination (Table 3.2 and Figure 2-1B1). The chemotherapy drugs or hapten components alone cannot induce any immunity response. Experiment B2, with Adr and Penicillin, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and 7. The results showed that the higher expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa than the tumor untreated at day 1 only, then it immediately dropped to a lower level. However, it was still higher than the DNP group at day 4 and 7. CD11b/c, CD4 and CD8 were especially high at day 1, showing the immune response of new tumor antigens with CD11c, CD4 and CD8. The expression occurred in the tumor antigens presentation and vaccination (Table 3.2 and Figure 2-1B2). The immunological genes expression from DNP and penicillin, revealed that the two hapten components have similar function in haptenation with tumor antigens for stimulation of immunity reaction in mice with tumor, but penicillin has a high capability for stimulation of expression of CD4. Experiment C1, with BLM and DNP, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and 7. Results showed that CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa had a slightly higher expression in those days, than in the untreated tumor on day 1. The tumor antigens presentation and vaccination from DNP revealed the immune response of new tumor antigens with CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa (Table 3. C1 and Figure 2-2. C1). Therefore, when BLM replaces Adr in intratumoral injections with DNP, the BLM can still induce an immunity reaction in tumor bearing mice. Therefore, the chemotherapy drug role in damaging the tumor cell becomes apparent. It leads to a release of tumor antigens post-cell death. Thus, DNP plays a role in hapenation of tumor antigens to become neuantigens of tumor. Experiment C2, with BLM and penicillin, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and 7. Findings indicate that CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa have higher expression in those days than they do in the untreated tumor on day 1. There was an especially high expression of IL12aÂ, CD11b/c, TNFaÂ. It showed the immune response with the higher expression IL12aÂ, CD11b/c, TNFa by the tumor antigens presentation and vaccination with penicillin (Table 3. C2 and Figure 2-2. C2). The expression of CD4, CD8 and CD11 by qPCR assay correlated with the immunohistochemical staining of CD4, CD8 and CD11 (Figure 1). It showed it can act as an effective replacement the immunohistochemical staining by qPCR assay for the expression of factor related immune genes.
Both DNP and Penicillin with the chemotherapy drugs Adr or BLM, can induce the immunity reaction in tumor bearing mice. Experiment C2 used penicillin to induce the highest expression of CD11 and IL12aÂ, peaking in the value of CTs. This was higher than C1’s CT value. This difference may be attributed to the BLM combined with penicillin. The combination plays a strong partnership in the haptenation with tumor antigens released from tumor cell damaged by BLM and penicillin as hapten is reported in to stimulate hapenation [19]. These results are a good indication an example of what to use for a generic drug as a new indication of cancer treatment. Experiment D1, with PYM and DNP, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and Results showed that the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, TNFa was not higher on day 1, 4 or 7 when compared with the untreated tumor. Therefore, the immune response of new tumor antigens with the expression of various genes presented without an especially heightened expression of genes (Table3.4 and Figure 2-3 D1). Therefore, the D1 combination may not be a good candidate of combination for intratumoral injection in cancer treatment.
Experiment D2, with PYM and penicillin, compared the expression of various genes on day 1, 4 and 7. Results indicated that the expression of CoL1a1, CD4, IL12aÂ, TGFb1Â, Elastin, Elastin, Cox2, CD11b/c, CD8, and TNFa were higher in the other days than when the tumor was untreated. The especially heightened expression of IL12a at day 4 is notable. This shows that the immune response with the expression of various genes and the especially heightened expression of IL12aÂ, indicates that expression of IL12a is produced by the antigen presenting cell during of their interaction with specific T cell (Table 3.4 and Figure 2-3 D2). Comparison with the D1 treatment, which yielded the highest expression of IL12a is a good sign for the D2 combination in the cancer treatment which is late response and could contribute to long survival. The above intratumoral injection of different drug and hapten results, support penicillin a replacement for DNP in intratumoral injection with chemotherapy drug. It induces acute inflammation in tumors so tumor antigens can be modified by hapten to bring expression of immunological genes and their production of cytokines and autologous antibodies of tumor associate antigen. Ultimately this furthers the clinical abscopal effect.
Intratumoral injection of chemotherapy drug with DNP and penicillin can induce acute inflammation in tumors with a special immunity reaction. This inflammation provides strong evidence for the special immunity reaction induced effect while the chemotherapy drug kills the tumor cell, like the abscopal effect.
