Clinical studies with immunotherapies for cancer, including adoptive cell transfers of T cells, have shown promising results. It is now widely believed that recruitment of CD4+ helper T cells to the tumor would be favorable, as CD4+ cells play a pivotal role in cytokine secretion as well as promoting the survival, proliferation, and effector functions of tumor-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Genetically engineered high-affinity T-cell receptors (TCRs) can be introduced into CD4+ helper T cells to redirect them to recognize MHC-class I-restricted antigens, but it is not clear what affinity of the TCR will be optimal in this approach. Here, we show that CD4+ T cells expressing a high-affinity TCR (nanomolar K d value) against a class I tumor antigen mediated more effective tumor treatment than the wild-type affinity TCR (micromolar K d value). High-affinity TCRs in CD4+ cells resulted in enhanced survival and long-term persistence of effector memory T cells in a melanoma tumor model. The results suggest that TCRs with nanomolar affinity could be advantageous for tumor targeting when expressed in CD4+ T cells. 相似文献

Posttranslational modifications regulate the function and stability of proteins, and the immune system is able to recognize some of these modifications. Therefore, the presence of posttranslational modifications increases the diversity of potential immune responses to a determinant antigen. The stimulation of tumor-specific CD4+ helper T lymphocytes (HTLs) is considered important for the production of anti-tumor antibodies by B cells and for the generation and persistence of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and in some instances, HTLs can directly reduce tumor cell growth. Identification of MHC class II-restricted peptide epitopes from tumor-associated antigens including those generated from posttranslational protein modifications should enable the improvement of peptide-based cancer immunotherapy. We describe here an MHC class II binding peptide from the tumor protein p53, which possesses an acetylated lysine at position 120 (p53110-124/AcK120) that is effective in eliciting CD4+ T cell responses specific for the acetylated peptide. Most importantly, the acetylated peptide-reactive CD4 HTLs recognized the corresponding naturally processed posttranslational modified epitope presented by either dendritic cells loaded with tumor cell lysates or directly on tumors expressing p53 and the restricting MHC class II molecules. Treatment of tumor cells with a histone deacetylase inhibitor augmented their recognition by the p53110-124/AcK120-reactive CD4+ T cells. These findings prove that the epitope p53110-124/AcK120 is immunogenic for anti-tumor responses and is likely to be useful for cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Purpose: Peritumoral CpG-oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) treatment has been successful in tumor mouse models expressing strong antigens to induce activation of tumor-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes which contribute to the control of tumor growth. To get near to clinical reality, the tumor-specific CD8+ response was investigated in mice bearing the weakly immunogenic B16 melanoma tumor and using the melanocyte differentiation tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2) as a tracking antigen. Methods: The expansion and activation of TRP-2–specific T lymphocytes by CpG-ODNs was analyzed by tetramer staining and IFN- production assays, while the activity of these cells in both memory and primary response was evaluated in vivo. Results: After CpG-ODN treatment, the number of TRP-2 tetramer-stained CD8+ T lymphocytes was not significantly modified, but these cells produced higher levels of interferon (IFN-) in response to the antigen than those from untreated mice. Mice possessing these activated T lymphocytes, when evaluated for their antitumor memory response, showed marginal protection against intravenous (i.v.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) tumor rechallenge. These cells were not crucial for the control of primary tumor growth since strong reduction of subcutaneous tumor was observed after CpG-ODN treatment in both CD8+ T cell depleted or nondepleted mice. On the contrary, NK cell depletion markedly reduced CpG-ODN-induced tumor growth inhibition. Conclusions: Altogether, these data indicate the CpG treatment activates tumor-reactive effector CD8+ T lymphocytes, but, paralleling recent clinical observations, our model indicates that the mere activation of antitumor T cells is insufficient to result in a clinical response.Abbreviations CpG unmethylated CpG dinucleotides - ODNs oligodeoxynucleotides - TLR9 toll-like receptor 9 - TRP-2 tyrosinase-related protein 2 相似文献

Cell-based tumor vaccines have been developed on the basis of the hypothesis that tumor cells can be genetically modified
to present antigen to T lymphocytes directly. Contrary to expectations, cross-priming is the predominant pathway for activation
of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells, while direct presentation of antigen dominates activation of tumor-specific CD4+ T cells. These results pose interesting paradoxes for the generation of immune responses, and have definite implications
for the development of anti-cancer vaccines.

Tumor-specific T lymphocytes (CTL) induced by in vivo immunization of C3H/HeJ mice with the syngeneic methylcholanthrene (MCA)-induced fibrosarcoma MCA-F were expanded in vitro by restimulation with 1-butanol-extracted, isoelectrophoretically purified, tumor-specific transplantation antigen (TSTA) in combination with purified rat interleukin-2 (IL-2) and fresh, syngeneic, 2000-R-irradiated, adherent splenic antigen-presenting cells (APC). The cultured immune T-cell population, containing 40–55% Lyt 2+ and 40–60% L3T4+ cells, displayed TSTA-specific proliferative and cytotoxic activities in vitro. The expanded T cells appear to recognize butanol-extracted TSTA in association with specific H-2 class I antigens, as revealed by the benefit of syngeneic over allogeneic cells as APC and by the adverse effect of depletion using anti-H-2K, but not anti-Ia, monoclonal antibodies. In adoptive transfer assays in vitro, expanded T cells specifically neutralize homotypic, but not heterotypic, tumor growth in vivo. Based upon the effects of depletion of T-lymphocyte subpopulations using monoclonal antibodies, the Lyt 2+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) appear to display greater in vivo neutralizing activity than L3T4+ T cells. Thus in vitro stimulation of in vivo-immunized T cells, using butanol-extracted TSTA in combination with IL-2 and syngeneic APC, expands tumor-specific CTL. 相似文献

Summary Augmented tumor-specific T cell responses were observed against the high metastatic murine lymphoma variant ESb when using as immunogen ESb tumor cells that had been modified by infection with a low dose of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Such virus-modified inactivated tumor cells (ESb-NDV) were potent tumor vaccines when applied postoperatively for active specific immunotherapy of ESb metastases. We demonstrate here that immune spleen cells from mice immunized with ESb-NDV contain enhanced immune capacity in both the CD4+, CD8– and the CD4–, CD8+ T cell compartments to mount a secondary-tumor-specific cytotoxic T cell response in comparison with immune cells from mice immunized with ESb. ESb-NDV immune CD4+, CD8– helper T cells also produced more interleukin 2 after antigen stimulation than the corresponding ESb immune cells. There was no participation of either CD4+ or CD8+ virus-specific cells in the augmented response. The specificity of the T cells for the tumor-associated antigen remaind unchanged. Thus, there is the paradox that the virus-mediated augmentation of the tumor-specific T cell response in this system involves increased T helper activity but does not involve the recognition of viral epitopes as potential new helper determinants.Abbreviations CTL

Background
Cancer vaccines are designed to activate and enhance cancer-antigen-targeted T cells that are suppressed through multiple mechanisms of immune tolerance in cancer-bearing hosts. T regulatory cell (Treg) suppression of tumor-specific T cells is one barrier to effective immunization. A second mechanism is the deletion of high avidity tumor-specific T cells, which leaves a less effective low avidity tumor specific T cell repertoire available for activation by vaccines. Treg depleting agents including low dose cyclophosphamide (Cy) and antibodies that deplete CD25-expressing Tregs have been used with limited success to enhance the potency of tumor-specific vaccines. In addition, few studies have evaluated mechanisms that activate low avidity cancer antigen-specific T cells. Therefore, we developed high and low avidity HER-2/neu-specific TCR transgenic mouse colonies specific for the same HER-2/neu epitope to define the tolerance mechanisms that specifically affect high versus low avidity tumor-specific T cells.Methodology/Principal Findings
High and low avidity CD8+ T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice specific for the breast cancer antigen HER-2/neu (neu) were developed to provide a purified source of naïve, tumor-specific T cells that can be used to study tolerance mechanisms. Adoptive transfer studies into tolerant FVB/N-derived HER-2/neu transgenic (neu-N) mice demonstrated that high avidity, but not low avidity, neu-specific T cells are inhibited by Tregs as the dominant tolerizing mechanism. High avidity T cells persisted, produced IFNγ, trafficked into tumors, and lysed tumors after adoptive transfer into mice treated with a neu-specific vaccine and low dose Cy to deplete Tregs. Analysis of Treg subsets revealed a Cy-sensitive CD4+Foxp3+CD25low tumor-seeking migratory phenotype, characteristic of effector/memory Tregs, and capable of high avidity T cell suppression.Conclusion/Significance
Depletion of CD25low Tregs allows activation of tumor-clearing high avidity T cells. Thus, the development of agents that specifically deplete Treg subsets should translate into more effective immunotherapies while avoiding autoimmunity. 相似文献8.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the most invasive and lethal of cancers, frequently infiltrating surrounding healthy tissue and giving rise to rapid recurrence. It is therefore critical to establish experimental model systems and develop therapeutic approaches that enhance anti-tumor immunity. In the current study, we have employed a newly developed murine glioma model to assess the efficacy of a novel picornavirus vaccination approach for the treatment of established tumors. The GL261-Quad system is a variation of the GL261 syngeneic glioma that has been engineered to expresses model T cell epitopes including OVA257–264. MRI revealed that both GL261 and GL261-Quad tumors display characteristic features of human gliomas such as heterogeneous gadolinium leakage and larger T2 weighted volumes. Analysis of brain-infiltrating immune cells demonstrated that GL261-Quad gliomas generate detectable CD8+ T cell responses toward the tumor-specific Kb:OVA257–264 antigen. Enhancing this response via a single intracranial or peripheral vaccination with picornavirus expressing the OVA257–264 antigen increased anti-tumor CD8+ T cells infiltrating the brain, attenuated progression of established tumors, and extended survival of treated mice. Importantly, the efficacy of the picornavirus vaccination is dependent on functional cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells, as the beneficial response was completely abrogated in mice lacking perforin expression. Therefore, we have developed a novel system for evaluating mechanisms of anti-tumor immunity in vivo, incorporating the GL261-Quad model, 3D volumetric MRI, and picornavirus vaccination to enhance tumor-specific cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses and track their effectiveness at eradicating established gliomas in vivo. 相似文献

Immunogenic cell death induced by cytotoxic compounds contributes to the success of selected chemotherapies by eliciting a protective anticancer immune response, which is mediated by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells producing interferon-γ. In many instances, cancer progression is associated with high titers of tumor-specific antibodies, which become detectable in the serum, but whose functional relevance is elusive. Here, we explored the role of humoral immune responses in the anticancer efficacy of anthracyclines. Chemotherapy reduced the number of tumor-infiltrating B cells, and failed to promote humoral responses against immunodominant tumor antigens. Although anthracycline-based anticancer chemotherapies failed in T cell-deficient mice, they successfully reduced the growth of cancers developing in mice lacking B lymphocytes (due to the injection of a B-cell-depleting anti-CD20 antibody), immunoglobulins (Igs) or Ig receptors (Fc receptor) due to genetic manipulations. These results suggest that the humoral arm of antitumor immunity is dispensable for the immune-dependent therapeutic effect of anthracyclines against mouse sarcoma. In addition, we show here that the titers of IgA and IgG antibodies directed against an autoantigen appearing at the cell surface of tumor cells post chemotherapy (calreticulin, CRT) did not significantly increase in patients treated with anthracyclines, and that anti-CRT antibodies had no prognostic or predictive significance. Collectively, our data indicate that humoral anticancer immune responses differ from cellular responses in, thus far, that they do not contribute to the success of anthracycline-mediated anticancer therapies in human breast cancers and mouse sarcomas. 相似文献

CD62L/L-selectin is a marker found on naïve T cells and further distinguishes central memory (Tcm, CD62L+) from effector memory (Tem, CD62L−) T cells. The regulation of CD62L plays a pivotal role in controlling the traffic of T lymphocytes to and from peripheral lymph nodes. CD62L is shed from the cell membrane following T cell activation, however, the physiological significance of this event remains to be elucidated. In this study, we utilized in vitro generated anti-tumor antigen T cells and melanoma lines as a model to evaluate the dynamics of CD62L shedding and expression of CD107a as a marker of lytic activity. Upon encounter, with matched tumor lines, antigen reactive T cells rapidly lose CD62L expression and this was associated with the acquisition of CD107a. By CD62L ELISA, we confirmed that this transition was mediated by the shedding of CD62L when T cells encountered specific tumor antigen. The introduction of a shedding resistant mutant of CD62L into the tumor antigen-reactive T cell line JKF6 impaired CD107a acquisition following antigen recognition and this was correlated with decreased lytic activity as measured by 51Cr release assays. The linkage of the shedding of CD62L from the surface of anti-tumor T cells and acquisition of lytic activity, suggests a new function for CD62L in T cell effector functions and anti-tumor activity. 相似文献

Summary Peripheral blood lymphocytes were cultured for 5 days with allogeneic tumor cells (allogeneic mixed lymphocyte/tumor cell culture), and subsequently cultured with recombinant interleukin-2 for 12 days. These cultured cells were found to be cytotoxic to autologous tumor cells. Results of two-color analysis using monoclonal antibodies to cell markers showed that more than 80% of their cultured cells were CD3+ cells, and CD4+ cells showed a higher distribution than CD8+ cells. However, CD8+ cells had a much higher killing activity with autologous tumor than did CD4+ cells, when estimated by an elimination study using monoclonal antibodies to T cell phenotypes and complement. The cold-target inhibition test showed that the cytotoxicity of these cells for autologous tumor cells was inhibited by unlabeled autologous tumor cells but not by unlabeled stimulator cells. Furthermore, about 40% of the cytotoxicity was suppressed by blocking of HLA class I antigen with a monoclonal antibody on autologous tumor cells. Thus, cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes to autologous tumor restricted by target cell HLA class I antigen is possibly induced by allogeneic tumor-stimulation. 相似文献

Influenza A virus (IAV) is a leading cause of respiratory tract disease worldwide. Anti-viral CD8+ T lymphocytes responding to IAV infection are believed to eliminate virally infected cells by direct cytolysis but may also contribute to pulmonary inflammation and tissue damage via the release of pro-inflammatory mediators following recognition of viral antigen displaying cells. We have previously demonstrated that IAV antigen expressing inflammatory cells of hematopoietic origin within the infected lung interstitium serve as antigen presenting cells (APC) for infiltrating effector CD8+ T lymphocytes; however, the spectrum of inflammatory cell types capable of serving as APC was not determined. Here, we demonstrate that viral antigen displaying neutrophils infiltrating the IAV infected lungs are an important cell type capable of acting as APC for effector CD8+ T lymphocytes in the infected lungs and that neutrophils expressing viral antigen as a result of direct infection by IAV exhibit the most potent APC activity. Our findings suggest that in addition to their suggested role in induction of the innate immune responses to IAV, virus clearance, and the development of pulmonary injury, neutrophils can serve as APCs to anti-viral effector CD8+ T cells within the infected lung interstitium. 相似文献

Peripheral T lymphocytes can be subdivided into naive and antigen-experienced T cells. The latter, in turn, are represented by effector and central memory cells that are identified by different profiles of activation markers expression, such as CD44 and CD62L in mice. These markers determine different traffic of T lymphocytes in the organism, but hardly reproduce real antigenic experience of a T lymphocyte. Mechanisms of homeostasis maintenance of T lymphocytes with different activation phenotypes remain largely unknown. To investigate impact of T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic chains on formation of T lymphocytes, their peripheral survival and activation surface phenotypes, we have generated the transgenic mouse strain expressing transgenic β-chain of TCR 1D1 (belonging to the Vβ6 family) on the genetic background B10.D2(R101). Intrathymic development of T cells in these transgenic mice is not impaired. The repertoire of peripheral T lymphocytes in these mice contains 70–80% of T cells expressing transgenic β-chain and 20–30% of T cells expressing endogenous β-chains. The ratio of peripheral CD4+CD8? and CD4?CD8+ T lymphocytes remained unchanged in the transgenic animals, but the percent of T lymphocytes with the “naive” phenotype CD44?CD62L+ was significantly increased, whereas the levels of effector memory CD44+CD62L? and central memory CD44+CD62L+ T lymphocytes were markedly decreased in both subpopulations. On the contrary, T lymphocytes expressing endogenous β-chains had surface phenotype of activated T cells CD44+. Thus, for the first time we have shown that the pool of T lymphocytes with different activation phenotypes depends on the structure of T cell receptors. 相似文献

flt3 ligand (FL) is a growth factor that induces hematopoietic progenitor cell and dendritic cell (DC) expansion when administered
to mice. Lymphoid-related (CD8α+) and myeloid-related (CD8α−) DC are transiently expanded in multiple tissues. Treatment of tumor-bearing mice with FL results in slower tumor growth
and, in some cases, tumor rejection and the development of tumor-specific T cell immunity. The clinical use of DC as cellular
vehicles for tumor antigen presentation to generate a tumor-specific T cell response is under investigation. DC are currently
generated ex vivo, pulsed with antigen, and then infused into patients, and much effort is being directed toward optimizing
each of these steps. Administration of FL to humans induces a profound increase in circulating DC. The availability of a large
number of DC generated in vivo has important implications for tumor immunotherapy approaches.

Bispecific monoclonal antibodies (bi-mAb), directed against a tumor-associated antigen and the CD3 or CD28 antigen on T lymphocytes,
induce activation of resting T lymphocytes and target-specific tumor cell lysis. We now show that both necrosis and apoptosis
contribute to T-cell-mediated tumor cell destruction. Even though T cells up-regulate FAS/APO-1 expression upon bi-mAb stimulation,
FAS/APO-1-mediated apoptosis does not contribute to bi-mAb-mediated destruction of Hodgkin’s cells. CD8+ lymphocytes were the most potent effectors of bi-mAb-mediated cytotoxicity and had the highest levels of mRNA coding for
perforin and granzyme A and B. Ca2+-complexing agents, which abrogate perforin activity, led to decreased levels of necrosis, while inhibition of granzyme activity
in effector or target cells had a similar effect on apoptosis. Granzyme-mediated apoptosis critically dependent on the proliferative
state of the target cells, while perforin-induced necrosis was not cell-cycle-dependent. Our results underline the importance
of the expression levels of perforin and granzymes in the effector T cells and of the proliferative state of the target cells
in bi-mAb-mediated apoptosis and necrosis of tumor cells.

The tumor microenvironment is complex and creates an immunosuppressive network to tolerize tumor-specific immune responses;
however, little information is available regarding the response against non-tumor antigens in tumor-bearing individuals. The
goal of the present study was to evaluate if tumor burden could influence a CD4+ T cell response against a soluble protein, not expressed by the tumor, in the absence of in vitro stimulation. Using an experimental
system in which we can compare CD4+ T cell responses to the Ea antigen when it is either expressed by B16F10 melanoma cells (B16EaRFP cells) or is an exogenous,
non-tumor antigen (soluble EaRFP protein), in immunizations of B16F10 tumor-bearing mice, we observed that the tumor can modulate
the CD4+ T cell-specific response to the antigen when it is expressed by the tumor cells. TEa cells proliferated poorly and produced
less IFN-γ in mice bearing B16F10 melanoma expressing Ea peptide, and tumor growth was impervious to this response. However,
in mice bearing 7 days B16F10 tumors, not expressing the Ea antigen, priming of TEa cells was similar to that observed in
tumor-free mice, based on the total number of cells recovered and proliferation assessed by CFSE dilution after EaRFP immunization.
We also investigated if tumor burden could influence recall responses of already differentiated effector cells. We immunized
mice with EaRFP antigen and after a few days injected B16F10 cells. After 10 days of tumor growth, we challenged the mice
with the non-tumor antigen. We found that the number of TEa cells producing IFN-γ in tumor-bearing mice was not different
compared to tumor-free mice. No differences in antigen presentation, assessed by YAe antibody staining, were verified in the
draining lymph node of these two groups. Collectively, our data indicate that tumor burden does not affect immune responses
to non-tumor antigens. These results have important implications in the design of anti-cancer therapy. 相似文献

In spite of sufficient data on Neem Leaf Glycoprotein (NLGP) as a prophylactic vaccine, little knowledge currently exists to support the use of NLGP as a therapeutic vaccine. Treatment of mice bearing established sarcomas with NLGP (25 µg/mice/week subcutaneously for 4 weeks) resulted in tumor regression or dormancy (Tumor free/Regressor, 13/24 (NLGP), 4/24 (PBS)). Evaluation of CD8+ T cell status in blood, spleen, TDLN, VDLN and tumor revealed increase in cellular number. Elevated expression of CD69, CD44 and Ki67 on CD8+ T cells revealed their state of activation and proliferation by NLGP. Depletion of CD8+ T cells in mice at the time of NLGP treatment resulted in partial termination of tumor regression. An expansion of CXCR3+ and CCR5+ T cells was observed in the TDLN and tumor, along with their corresponding ligands. NLGP treatment enhances type 1 polarized T-bet expressing T cells with downregulation of GATA3. Treg cell population was almost unchanged. However, T∶Treg ratios significantly increased with NLGP. Enhanced secretion/expression of IFNγ was noted after NLGP therapy. In vitro culture of T cells with IL-2 and sarcoma antigen resulted in significant enhancement in cytotoxic efficacy. Consistently higher expression of CD107a was also observed in CD8+ T cells from tumors. Reinoculation of sarcoma cells in tumor regressed NLGP-treated mice maintained tumor free status in majority. This is correlated with the increment of CD44hiCD62Lhi central memory T cells. Collectively, these findings support a paradigm in which NLGP dynamically orchestrates the activation, expansion, and recruitment of CD8+ T cells into established tumors to operate significant tumor cell lysis. 相似文献

Adoptive T cell therapy represents a promising treatment for cancer. Human T cells engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) recognize and kill tumor cells in a MHC-unrestricted manner and persist in vivo when the CAR includes a CD28 costimulatory domain. However, the intensity of the CAR-mediated CD28 activation signal and its regulation by the CTLA-4 checkpoint are unknown. We investigated whether T cells expressing an anti-CD19, CD3 zeta and CD28-based CAR (19-28z) displayed the same proliferation and anti-tumor abilities than T cells expressing a CD3 zeta-based CAR (19z1) costimulated through the CD80/CD28, ligand/receptor pathway. Repeated in vitro antigen-specific stimulations indicated that 19-28z+ T cells secreted higher levels of Th1 cytokines and showed enhanced proliferation compared to those of 19z1+ or 19z1-CD80+ T cells. In an aggressive pre-B cell leukemia model, mice treated with 19-28z+ T cells had 10-fold reduced tumor progression compared to those treated with 19z1+ or 19z1-CD80+ T cells. shRNA-mediated CTLA-4 down-regulation in 19z1-CD80+ T cells significantly increased their in vivo expansion and anti-tumor properties, but had no effect in 19-28z+ T cells. Our results establish that CTLA-4 down-regulation may benefit human adoptive T cell therapy and demonstrate that CAR design can elude negative checkpoints to better sustain T cell function. 相似文献
