Human prostate tumor vaccine and gene therapy trials using ex vivo methods to prime dendritic cells (DCs) with prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have been somewhat successful, but to date the lengthy ex vivo manipulation of DCs has limited the widespread clinical utility of this approach. Our goal was to improve upon cancer vaccination with tumor antigens by delivering PSMA via a CD40-targeted adenovirus vector directly to DCs as an efficient means for activation and antigen presentation to T-cells. To test this approach, we developed a mouse model of prostate cancer by generating clonal derivatives of the mouse RM-1 prostate cancer cell line expressing human PSMA (RM-1-PSMA cells). To maximize antigen presentation in target cells, both MHC class I and TAP protein expression was induced in RM-1 cells by transduction with an Ad vector expressing interferon-gamma (Ad5-IFNγ). Administering DCs infected ex vivo with CD40-targeted Ad5-huPSMA, as well as direct intraperitoneal injection of the vector, resulted in high levels of tumor-specific CTL responses against RM-1-PSMA cells pretreated with Ad5-IFNγ as target cells. CD40 targeting significantly improved the therapeutic antitumor efficacy of Ad5-huPSMA encoding PSMA when combined with Ad5-IFNγ in the RM-1-PSMA model. These results suggest that a CD-targeted adenovirus delivering PSMA may be effective clinically for prostate cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Recent studies demonstrate that virus-cellular receptor interactions are not the sole determinants of adenovirus (Ad) tropism. It has been shown that the fiber shaft length, which ranges from 6 to 23 beta-repeats in human Ads, also influences viral tropism. However, there is no report that investigates whether artificial extension of the shaft alters the infectivity profile of Ad. Therefore, we constructed Ad serotype 5 (Ad5) capsid-based longer-shafted Ad vectors by incorporating Ad2 shaft fragments of different lengths into the Ad5 shaft. We show that "longer-shafted" Ad vectors (up to 32 beta-repeats) could be rescued. We also show that longer-shafted Ad vectors had no impact on knob-CAR (coxsackievirus and Ad receptor) interaction compared to wild-type Ad. Nevertheless, gene transfer efficiencies of longer-shafted Ad vectors were lower in CAR-positive cell lines compared to wild-type Ad. We suggest that artificial extension of the shaft can inhibit infectivity in the context of CAR-positive cell lines without modification of knob-CAR interaction. 相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated the usefulness of dendritic cells (DCs) genetically modified by adenovirus vectors (Ad) to immunotherapy, while sufficient gene transduction into DCs is required for high doses of Ad. The RT-PCR analysis revealed that the relative resistance of DCs to Ad-mediated gene transfer is due to the absence of Coxsackie-adenovirus receptor expression, and that DCs expressed adequate alpha(v)-integrins. Therefore, we investigated whether fiber-mutant Ad containing the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence in the fiber knob can efficiently transduce and express high levels of the LacZ gene into DCs. The gene delivery by fiber-mutant Ad was more efficient than that by conventional Ad in both murine DC lines and normal human DCs (NHDC). Furthermore, NHDC transduced with fiber-mutant Ad and conventional Ad at 8000-vector particles/cell resulted in a 70-fold difference in beta-galactosidase activity. We propose that alpha(v)-integrin-targeted Ad is a very powerful tool with which to implement DC-based vaccination strategies. 相似文献

Recombinant adenoviruses (Ad) have become the vector system of choice for a variety of gene therapy applications. However, the utility of Ad vectors is limited due to the low efficiency of Ad-mediated gene transfer to cells expressing marginal levels of the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR). In order to achieve CAR-independent gene transfer by Ad vectors in clinically important contexts, we proposed modification of viral tropism via genetic alterations to the viral fiber protein. We have shown that incorporation of an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptide in the HI loop of the fiber knob domain results in the ability of the virus to utilize an alternative receptor during the cell entry process. We have also demonstrated that due to its expanded tissue tropism, this novel vector is capable of efficient transduction of primary tumor cells. An increase in gene transfer to ovarian cancer cells of 2 to 3 orders of magnitude was demonstrated by the vector, suggesting that recombinant Ad containing fibers with an incorporated RGD peptide may be of great utility for treatment of neoplasms characterized by deficiency of the primary Ad type 5 receptor. 相似文献

In studies of the genetic disease cystic fibrosis, recombinant adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) and Ad5 are being investigated as vectors to transfer cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator cDNA to airway epithelia. However, earlier work has shown that human airway epithelia are resistant to infection by Ad2 and Ad5. Therefore, we examined the efficiency of other adenovirus serotypes at infecting airway epithelia. We found that several serotypes of adenoviruses, in particular, wild-type Ad17, infected a greater number of cells than wild-type Ad2. The increased efficiency of wild-type Ad17 could be explained by increased fiber-dependent binding to the epithelia. Therefore, we constructed a chimeric virus, Ad2(17f)/betaGal-2, which is identical to Ad2/betaGal-2 with the exception of having the fiber protein of Ad17 replace Ad2 fiber. This vector retained the increased binding and efficiency of gene transfer to well-differentiated human airway epithelia. These data suggest that inclusion of Ad17 fiber into adenovirus vectors may improve the outlook for gene delivery to human airway epithelia. 相似文献

For efficient and versatile use of adenovirus (Ad) as an in vivo gene therapy vector, modulation of the viral tropism is highly desirable. In this study, a novel method to genetically alter the Ad fiber tropism is described. The knob and the last 15 shaft repeats of the fiber gene were deleted and replaced with an external trimerization motif and a new cell-binding ligand, in this case the integrin-binding motif RGD. The corresponding recombinant fiber retained the basic biological functions of the natural fiber, i.e., trimerization, nuclear import, penton formation, and ligand binding. The recombinant fiber bound to integrins but failed to react with antiknob antibody. For virus production, the recombinant fiber gene was rescued into the Ad genome at the exact position of the wild-type (WT) fiber to make use of the native regulation of fiber expression. The recombinant virus Ad5/FibR7-RGD yielded plaques on 293 cells, but the spread through the monolayer was two to three times delayed compared to WT, and the ratio of infectious to physical particles was 20 times lower. Studies on virus tropism showed that Ad5/FibR7-RGD was able to infect cells which did not express the coxsackie-adenovirus receptor (CAR), but did express integrins. Ad5/FibR7-RGD virus infectivity was unchanged in the presence of antiknob antibody, which neutralized the WT virus. Ad5/FibR7-RGD virus showed an expanded tropism, which is useful when gene transfer to cells not expressing CAR is needed. The described method should also make possible the construction of Ad genetically retargeted via ligands other than RGD. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells in initiating primary immune responses. Given the unique properties of DCs, gene-modified DCs represent a particularly attractive approach for immunotherapy of diseases such as cancer. METHODS: Gene-modified DCs were obtained by a receptor-mediated gene delivery system using adenovirus (Ad) particles as ligand and RNA or DNA condensed by polyethylenimine (PEI). In vitro transcribed polyadenylated or non-polyadenylated RNA was used. RNA-transduced DCs were generated expressing chicken ovalbumin (OVA) or chimeric constructs thereof, and compared with DNA-transduced DCs. RESULTS: Ad/PEI transfection complexes efficiently delivered RNA into DCs. Such RNA-transduced DCs induced OVA-specific T cell responses more effectively than DNA-transduced DCs. Furthermore, DCs transduced with polyadenylated RNA were more potent in stimulating CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses than DCs transduced with non-polyadenylated RNA and this was particularly important for CD4(+) T cell responses. CONCLUSIONS: Ad/PEI/RNA transfection is an efficient means for generating RNA-transduced DCs and for stimulating antigen-specific T cell responses. Polyadenylation of RNA enhances CD8(+) T cell responses and is essential for CD4(+) T cell responses. 相似文献

Adenovirus (Ad) E1A induces apoptosis in cells expressing wild-type p53, and stable transformation by Ad E1A requires the co-introduction of an anti-apoptotic gene such as Ad E1B 19K. Thus, cells immortalized by Ad E1A alone might have lost functional p53. In order to analyze the p53 in rat cells expressing Ad E1A, we established rat cell lines by transfecting primary rat embryo fibroblast (REF) and baby rat kidney (BRK) cells with cloned Ad5 E1A. By using a yeast functional assay, we analyzed p53 in six primary REF and three BRK cell lines immortalized by Ad5 E1A as well as five spontaneously immortalized rat cell lines (REF52, NRK, WFB, Rat-1 and 3Y1). The yeast functional assay revealed that all of the spontaneously and Ad5 ElA-immortalized rat cell lines except for 3Y1 expressed wild-type p53. All of the Ad5 E1A-immortalized rat cell lines contained p53 detectable by immunoprecipitation. Recombinant adenovirus expressing rat p53 cloned from a REF cell line immortalized by Ad5 E1A, as well as that expressing murine wild-type p53, induced apoptosis in p53-null cells in collaboration with E1A. Thus, it is suggested that the mutation of p53 appears to be not frequent in the spontaneous immortalization of primary rat cells, and that the functional loss of wild-type p53 is not a prerequisite of E1A-mediated immortalization. 相似文献

Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) has been used for gene therapy with limited success because of insufficient infectivity in cells with low expression of the primary receptor, the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR). To enhance infectivity in tissues with low CAR expression, tropism expansion is required via non-CAR pathways. Serotype 3 Dearing reovirus utilizes a fiber-like sigma1 protein to infect cells expressing sialic acid and junction adhesion molecule 1 (JAM1). We hypothesized that replacement of the Ad5 fiber with sigma1 would result in an Ad5 vector with CAR-independent tropism. We therefore constructed a fiber mosaic Ad5 vector, designated as Ad5-sigma1, encoding two fibers: the sigma1 and the wild-type Ad5 fiber. Functionally, Ad5-sigma1 utilized CAR, sialic acid, and JAM1 for cell transduction and achieved maximum infectivity enhancement in cells with or without CAR. Thus, we have developed a new type of Ad5 vector with expanded tropism, possessing fibers from Ad5 and reovirus, that exhibits enhanced infectivity via CAR-independent pathway(s). 相似文献

The infection of epithelia] swine testicle and intestinal porcine epithelial (IPEC-1) cell lines by adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) has been studied in vitro by using an Ad5-luciferase recombinant containing the firefly luciferase gene as a reporter. Porcine cell lines supported Ad5 replication, showing virus titers, kinetics of virus production, and luciferase expression levels similar to those obtained in human 293 cells, which constitutively express the 5'-end 11% of the Ad5 genome. The tropism of Ad5-based vectors in swine and its ability to induce an efficient immune response against heterologous antigens expressed by foreign genes inserted in these vectors has been determined. Ad5 vectors replicate and express heterologous antigens in porcine lungs and mediastinal and mesenteric lymph nodes. Significant levels of heterologous antigen expression were also demonstrated in the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), but Ad5 replication in this organ was very poor, suggesting that Ad vectors undergo an abortive replication in the porcine small intestine. The tissues infected by Ad5 were dependent on the inoculation route. The oronasal route appeared to be best for inoculation of bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue infection, while the intraperitoneal route was best for gut-associated lymphoid tissue infection. Epithelial cells of bronchioles, macrophages, type II pneumocytes, and follicular dendritic cells were identified as targets for Ad5, while epithelial cells of the intestine were not infected by Ad5. Viruses with a deletion from 79.5 to 84.8 map units in the E3 region, with or without heterologous inserted genes, replicated to lower levels in porcine tissues than did wild-type Ad5. It was also shown that an Ad5 recombinant expressing the four antigenic sites (A, B, C, and D) of transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) spike protein induced in swine immune responses which neutralized TGEV infectivity. In addition, porcine serum from Ad-TGEV-immune animals provide passive protection when mixed with fully virulent TGEV and orally administered to highly susceptible newborn piglets. These results taken together indicate that swine may be a good animal model for human Ad5 lung infection to aid in the evaluation of candidate adenovirus vaccines and that Ad5 may be suitable as a recombinant viral vaccine or for other applications in swine. 相似文献

Background
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) have been implicated as important agents in a wide range of human illnesses. To date, 58 distinct HAdV serotypes have been identified and can be grouped into six species. For the immunological diagnosis of adenoviruses, the hexon protein, a structural protein, has been used. The potential of other HAdV proteins has not been fully addressed.Methodology/Principal Findings
In this study, a nonstructural antigenic protein, the DNA binding protein (DBP) of human adenovirus 5 and 35 (Ad5, Ad35) - was identified using immunoproteomic technology. The expression of Ad5 and Ad35 DBP in insect cells could be detected by rhesus monkey serum antibodies and healthy adult human serum positive for Ad5 and Ad35. Recombinant DBPs elicited high titer antibodies in mice. Their conserved domain displayed immunological cross-reactions with heterologous DBP antibodies in Western blot assays. DBP-IgM ELISA showed higher sensitivity adenovirus IgM detection than the commercial Adenovirus IgM Human ELISA Kit. A Western blot method developed based on Ad5 DBP was highly consistent with (χ2 = 44.9, P<0.01) the Western blot assay for the hexon protein in the detection of IgG, but proved even more sensitive.Conclusions/Significance
The HAdV nonstructural protein DBP is an antigenic protein that could serve as an alternative common antigen for adenovirus diagnosis. 相似文献13.
Combined alpha tumor necrosis factor gene therapy and engineered dendritic cell vaccine in combating well-established tumors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: Although current immunotherapeutic strategies including adenovirus (AdV)-mediated gene therapy and dendritic cell (DC) vaccine can all stimulate antitumor cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CLT) responses, their therapeutic efficiency has still been limited to generation of prophylactic antitumor immunity against re-challenge with the parental tumor cells or growth inhibition of small tumors in vivo. However, it is the well-established tumors in animal models that mimic clinical patients with existing tumor burdens. Alpha tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) is a multifunctional and immunoregulatory cytokine that induces antitumor activity and activates immune cells such as DCs and T cells. We hypothesized that a combined immunotherapy including gene therapy and DC vaccine would have some advantages over each modality administered as a monotherapy. METHODS: We investigated the antitumor immunotherapeutic efficiency of gene therapy by intratumoral injection of AdVTNF-alpha and DC vaccine using subcutaneous injection of TNF-alpha-gene-engineered DC(TNF-alpha) cells, and further developed a combined AdV-mediated TNF-alpha-gene therapy and TNF-alpha-gene-engineered DC(TNF-alpha) vaccine in combating well-established MO4 tumors expressing the ovalbumin (OVA) gene in an animal model. RESULTS: Our data show that vaccination of DC(TNF-alpha) cells pulsed with the OVA I peptide can (i) stimulate type 1 immune response with enhanced antitumor CTL activities, (ii) induce protective immunity against challenge of 5 x 10(5) MO4 tumor cells, and (iii) reduce growth of the small (3-4 mm in diameter), but not large, established MO4 tumors (6-8 mm in diameter). Our data also show that AdVTNF-alpha-mediated gene therapy can completely eradicate small tumors in 6 out of 8 (75%) mice due to the extensive tumor necrosis formation, but not the large tumors (0%). Interestingly, a combined AdVTNF-alpha-mediated gene therapy and TNF-alpha-gene-engineered DC(TNF-alpha) vaccine is able to cure 3 out of 8 (38%) mice bearing large MO4 tumors, indicating that the combined immunotherapy strategy is much more efficient in combating well-established tumors than monotherapy of either gene therapy or DC vaccine alone. CONCLUSIONS: This novel combined immunotherapy may become a tool of considerable conceptual interest in the implementation of future clinical objectives. 相似文献

The human adenovirus 40 (Ad40) is a promising tool for gene therapy of intestinal diseases. Since the production of Ad40 in vitro is extremely inefficient, chimeric Adenovirus 5/40S vectors carrying the Ad40 short fiber on the Ad5 capsid have been developed. However, Ad5/40S productivity is low. We hypothesized that low productivity was a result of inefficient viral entry into producer cells during amplification. To this end, we have developed a production strategy based on using 211B cells (expressing Ad5 fiber) during amplification steps, while Ad5/40S infectivity is further improved by adding polybrene during infections. In addition, the optimal harvesting time was determined by evaluating the Ad5/40S viral cycle. The developed production strategy significantly reduces the number of amplification cycles and duration of the process. Finally, to further facilitate Ad5/40S production, 211B cells were adapted to suspension thus allowing to easily upscale the production process in bioreactors. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional Ag-presenting cells that are being considered as potential immunotherapeutic agents to promote host immune responses against tumor Ags. In this study, recombinant adenovirus (Ad) vectors encoding melanoma-associated Ags were used to transduce murine DCs, which were then tested for their ability to activate CTL and induce protective immunity against B16 melanoma tumor cells. Immunization of C57BL/6 mice with DCs transduced with Ad vector encoding the hugp100 melanoma Ag (Ad2/hugp100) elicited the development of gp100-specific CTLs capable of lysing syngeneic fibroblasts transduced with Ad2/hugp100, as well as B16 cells expressing endogenous murine gp100. The induction of gp100-specific CTLs was associated with long term protection against lethal s.c. challenge with B16 cells. It was also possible to induce effective immunity against a murine melanoma self Ag, tyrosinase-related protein-2, using DCs transduced with Ad vector encoding the Ag. The level of antitumor protection achieved was dependent on the dose of DCs and required CD4+ T cell activity. Importantly, immunization with Ad vector-transduced DCs was not impaired in mice that had been preimmunized against Ad to mimic the immune status of the general human population. Finally, DC-based immunization also afforded partial protection against established B16 tumor cells, and the inhibition of tumor growth was improved by simultaneous immunization against two melanoma-associated Ags as opposed to either one alone. Taken together, these results support the concept of cancer immunotherapy using DCs transduced with Ad vectors encoding tumor-associated Ags. 相似文献

Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) is widely used as an oncolytic agent for cancer therapy. However, its infectivity is highly dependent on the expression level of coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) on the surfaces of tumor cells. Furthermore, infected cells overproduce adenovirus fiber proteins, which are released prior to cell lysis. The released fibers block CAR on noninfected neighboring cells, thereby preventing progeny virus entry. Our aim was to add a CAR-independent infection route to Ad5 to increase the infectivity of tumor cells with low CAR expression and prevent the fiber-masking problem. We constructed Ad5 viruses that encode the protein transduction domain (PTD) of the HIV-1 Tat protein (Tat-PTD) in hypervariable region 5 (HVR5) of the hexon protein. Tat-PTD functions as a cell-penetrating peptide, and Tat-PTD-modified Ad5 showed a dramatic increased transduction of CAR-negative cell lines compared to unmodified vector. Moreover, while tumor cell infectivity was severely reduced for Ad5 in the presence of fiber proteins, it was only marginally reduced for Tat-PTD-modified Ad5. Furthermore, because of the sequence alteration in the hexon HVR, coagulation factor X-mediated virus uptake was significantly reduced. Mice harboring human neuroblastoma and neuroendocrine tumors show suppressed tumor growths and prolonged survival when treated with Tat-PTD-modified oncolytic viruses. Our data suggest that modification of Ad5 with Tat-PTD in HVR5 expands its utility as an oncolytic agent. 相似文献

Adenovirus (Ad)-based gene therapy represents a potentially viable strategy for treating colorectal cancer. The infectivity of serotype 5 adenovirus (Ad.5), routinely used as a transgene delivery vector, is dependent on Coxsackie-adenovirus receptors (CAR). CAR expression is downregulated in many cancers thus preventing optimum therapeutic efficiency of Ad.5-based therapies. To overcome the low CAR problem, a serotype chimerism approach was used to generate a recombinant Ad (Ad.5/3) that is capable of infecting cancer cells via Ad.3 receptors in a CAR-independent manner. We evaluated the improved transgene delivery and efficacy of Ad.5/3 recombinant virus expressing melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24), an effective wide-spectrum cancer-selective therapeutic. In low CAR human colorectal cancer cells RKO, wild-type Ad.5 virus expressing mda-7/IL-24 (Ad.5-mda-7) failed to infect efficiently resulting in lack of expression of MDA-7/IL-24 or induction of apoptosis. However, a recombinant Ad.5/3 virus expressing mda-7/IL-24 (Ad.5/3-mda-7) efficiently infected RKO cells resulting in higher MDA-7/IL-24 expression and inhibition of cell growth both in vitro and in nude mice xenograft models. Addition of the novel Bcl-2 family pharmacological inhibitor Apogossypol derivative BI-97C1 (Sabutoclax) significantly augmented the efficacy of Ad.5/3-mda-7. A combination regimen of suboptimal doses of Ad.5/3-mda-7 and BI-97C1 profoundly enhanced cytotoxicity in RKO cells both in vitro and in vivo. Considering the fact that Ad.5-mda-7 has demonstrated significant objective responses in a Phase I clinical trial for advanced solid tumors, Ad.5/3-mda-7 alone or in combination with BI-97C1 would be predicted to exert significantly improved therapeutic efficacy in colorectal cancer patients. 相似文献

The efficient uptake of adenovirus into a target cell is a function of adenovirus capsid proteins and their interaction with the host cell. The capsid protein fiber mediates high-affinity attachment of adenovirus to the target cell. Although the cellular receptor(s) for adenovirus is unknown, evidence indicates that a single receptor does not function as the attachment site for each of the 49 different serotypes of adenovirus. Sequence variation of the fiber ligand, particularly in the C- terminal knob domain, is associated with serotype-specific binding specificity. Additionally, this domain of fiber functions as a major serotype determinant. Fiber involvement in cell targeting and its function as a target of the host immune response make the fiber gene an attractive target for manipulation, both from the perspective of adenovirus biology and from the perspective of using adenovirus vectors for gene transfer experiments. We have constructed a defective chimeric adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) reporter virus by replacing the Ad5 fiber gene with the fiber gene from Ad7A. Using the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene, we have characterized this virus with respect to infectivity both in vitro and in vivo. We have also characterized the role of antifiber antibody in the host neutralizing immune response to adenovirus infection. Our studies demonstrate that exchange of fiber is a strategy that will be useful in characterizing receptor tropism for different serotypes of adenovirus. Additionally, the neutralizing immune response to Ad5 and Ad7 does not differentiate between two viruses that differ only in their fiber proteins. Therefore, following a primary adenovirus inoculation, antibodies generated against fiber do not constitute a significant fraction of the neutralizing antibody population. 相似文献
