Abstract
. Notably, treatment with the polyamidoamine dendrimer generation 3.0 (PAMAM-G3) behaved as a nucleic acid scavenger (NAS) and significantly mitigates such effects. In mice that develop spontaneous BC induced by polyoma middle T oncoprotein (MMTV-PyMT), treatment with PAMAM-G3 significantly reduces lung metastasis. Thus, NAS treatment mitigates cancer-induced inflammation and metastasis and represents a novel therapeutic approach for combating breast cancer.
