Our laboratory has previously developed a tumor-targeting double-auxotrophic mutant of Salmonella typhimurium termed A1-R. The present report demonstrates that S. typhimurium A1-R destroys tumor blood vessels and this is enhanced in tumors with high vascularity. Red fluorescent protein (RFP)-expressing Lewis lung cancer cells (LLC-RFP) were transplanted subcutaneously in the ear, back skin and footpad of nestin-driven green fluorescent protein (ND-GFP) transgenic nude mice, which selectively express GFP in nascent blood vessels. Color-coded in vivo imaging demonstrated that the LLC-RFP ear tumor had the highest cell density and the footpad tumor had the least. The ear tumor had more abundant blood vessels than that on the back or footpad. The tumor-bearing mice were treated with A1-R bacteria via tail-vein injection. Tumors in the ear were the earliest responders to bacterial therapy and hemorrhaged severely the day after A1-R administration. Tumors growing in the back were the second fastest responders to bacterial treatment and appeared necrotic 3 days after A1-R administration. Tumors growing in the footpad had the least vascularity and were the last responders to A1-R. Therefore, tumor vascularity correlated positively with tumor efficacy of A1-R. The present study suggests that bacteria efficacy on tumors involves vessel destruction which depends on the extent of vascularity of the tumor.
