DNA vaccines have emerged as an attractive approach for generating antigen-specific immunotherapy. Strategies that enhance antigen presentation may potentially be used to enhance DNA vaccine potency. Previous experiments showed that chimeric DNA vaccines utilizing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone molecules, such as Calreticulin (CRT), linked to an antigen were capable of generating antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses in vaccinated mice. In this study, we tested DNA vaccines encoding the ER chaperone molecules ER-60, tapasin (Tap), or calnexin (Cal), linked to human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E7 for their abilities to generate E7-specific T cell-mediated immune responses and antitumor effects in vaccinated mice. Our results demonstrated that vaccination with DNA encoding any of these chaperone molecules linked to E7 led to a significant increase in the frequency of E7-specific CD8+ T cell precursors and generated stronger antitumor effects against an E7-expressing tumor in vaccinated mice compared to vaccination with wild-type E7 DNA. Our data suggest that DNA vaccines employing these ER chaperone molecules linked to antigen may enhance antigen-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses, resulting in a significantly more potent DNA vaccine. 相似文献

Low-frequency CTL and low-titer IgM responses against tumor-associated Ag MUC1 are present in cancer patients but do not prevent cancer growth. Boosting MUC1-specific immunity with vaccines, especially effector mechanisms responsible for tumor rejection, is an important goal. We studied immunogenicity, tumor rejection potential, and safety of three vaccines: 1) MUC1 peptide admixed with murine GM-CSF as an adjuvant; 2) MUC1 peptide admixed with adjuvant SB-AS2; and 3) MUC1 peptide-pulsed dendritic cells (DC). We examined the qualitative and quantitative differences in humoral and T cell-mediated MUC1-specific immunity elicited in human MUC1-transgenic (Tg) mice compared with wild-type (WT) mice. Adjuvant-based vaccines induced MUC1-specific Abs but failed to stimulate MUC1-specific T cells. MUC1 peptide with GM-CSF induced IgG1 and IgG2b in WT mice but only IgM in MUC1-Tg mice. MUC1 peptide with SB-AS2 induced high-titer IgG1, IgG2b, and IgG3 Abs in both WT and MUC1-Tg mice. Induction of IgG responses was T cell independent and did not have any effect on tumor growth. MUC1 peptide-loaded DC induced only T cell immunity. If injected together with soluble peptide, the DC vaccine also triggered Ab production. Importantly, the DC vaccine elicited tumor rejection responses in both WT and MUC1-Tg mice. These responses correlated with the induction of MUC1-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in WT mice, but only CD8(+) T cells in MUC1-Tg mice. Even though MUC1-specific CD4+ T cell tolerance was not broken, the capacity of MUC1-Tg mice to reject tumor was not compromised. 相似文献

The generation of tumor-specific T cells is hampered by the presentation of poorly immunogenic tumor-specific epitopes by the tumor. Here, we demonstrate that, although CD8+ T cells specific for the self/tumor Ag tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2) are readily detected in tumor-bearing hosts, vaccination of either tumor-bearing or naive mice with an epitope derived from TRP2 fails to generate significant numbers of tetramer-staining TRP2-specific T cells or antitumor immunity. We identified an altered peptide epitope, called deltaV, which elicits T cell responses that are cross-reactive to the wild-type TRP2 epitope. Immunization with deltaV generates T cells with increased affinity for TRP2 compared with immunization with the wild-type TRP2 epitope, although TRP2 immunization often generates a greater number of TRP2-specific T cells based on intracellular IFN-gamma analysis. Despite generating higher affinity responses, deltaV immunization alone fails to provide any greater therapeutic efficacy against tumor growth than TRP2 immunization. This lack of tumor protection is most likely a result of both the deletion of high affinity and functional tolerance induction of lower affinity TRP2-specific T cells. Our data contribute to a growing literature demonstrating the ability of variant peptide epitopes to generate higher affinity T cell responses against tumor-specific Ags. However, consistent with most clinical data, simple generation of higher affinity T cells is insufficient to mediate tumor immunity. 相似文献

Antigen-specific immunotherapy using DNA vaccines has emerged as an attractive approach for the control of tumors. Another
novel cancer therapy involves the employment of the vascular disrupting agent, 5,6-dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA).
In the current study, we aimed to test the combination of DMXAA treatment with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) E7 DNA
vaccination to enhance the antitumor effects and E7-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses in treated mice. We determined that
treatment with DMXAA generates significant therapeutic effects against TC-1 tumors but does not enhance the antigen-specific
immune responses in tumor bearing mice. We then found that combination of DMXAA treatment with E7 DNA vaccination generates
potent antitumor effects and E7-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses in the splenocytes of tumor bearing mice. Furthermore,
the DMXAA-mediated enhancement or suppression of E7-specific CD8+ T cell immune responses generated by CRT/E7 DNA vaccination
was found to be dependent on the time of administration of DMXAA and was also applicable to other antigen-specific vaccines.
In addition, we determined that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays a role in the immune suppression caused by DMXAA
administration before DNA vaccination. Our study has significant implications for future clinical translation. 相似文献

For active specific immunotherapy of cancer patients, we designed the autologous virus–modified tumor cell vaccine ATV-NDV. The rationale of this vaccine is to link multiple tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) from individual patient-derived tumor cells with multiple danger signals (DS) derived from virus infection (dsRNA, HN, IFN-). This allows activation of multiple innate immune responses (monocytes, dendritic cells, and NK cells) as well as adaptive immune responses (CD4 and CD8 memory T cells). Preexisting antitumor memory T cells from cancer patients could be activated by antitumor vaccination with ATV-NDV as seen by augmentation of antitumor memory delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. In a variety of phase II vaccination studies, an optimal formulation of this vaccine could improve long-term survival beyond what is seen in conventional standard therapies. A new concept is presented which proposes that a certain threshold of antitumor immune memory plays an important role (1) in the control of residual tumor cells which remain after most therapies and (2) for long-term survival of treated cancer patients. This immune memory is T-cell based and most likely maintained by persisting TAAs from residual dormant tumor cells. Such immune memory was prominent in the bone marrow in animal tumor models as well as in cancer patients. Immunization with a tumor vaccine in which individual TAAs are combined with DS from virus infection appears to have a positive effect on antitumor immune memory and on patient survival. 相似文献

The role of B cells in T-cell priming is unclear, and the effects of B-cell depletion on immune responses to cancer vaccines are unknown. Although results from some mouse models suggest that B cells may inhibit induction of T cell-dependent immunity by competing with antigen-presenting cells for antigens, skewing T helper response toward a T helper 2 profile and/or inducing T-cell tolerance, results from others suggest that B cells are necessary for priming as well as generation of T-cell memory. We assessed immune responses to a well-characterized idiotype vaccine in individuals with severe B-cell depletion but normal T cells after CD20-specific antibody-based chemotherapy of mantle cell lymphoma in first remission. Humoral antigen- and tumor-specific responses were detectable but delayed, and they correlated with peripheral blood B-cell recovery. In contrast, vigorous CD4(+) and CD8(+) antitumor type I T-cell cytokine responses were induced in most individuals in the absence of circulating B cells. Analysis of relapsing tumors showed no mutations or change in expression of target antigen to explain escape from therapy. These results show that severe B-cell depletion does not impair T-cell priming in humans. Based on these results, it is justifiable to administer vaccines in the setting of B-cell depletion; however, vaccine boosts after B-cell recovery may be necessary for optimal humoral responses. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus-based replicon particle (VRPs) encoding tumor antigens could break tolerance in the immunomodulatory environment of advanced cancer. We hypothesized that local injection of VRP-expressing interleukin-12 (IL-12) at the site of injections of VRP-based cancer vaccines would enhance the tumor-antigen-specific T cell and antibody responses and antitumor efficacy. Mice were immunized with VRP encoding the human tumor-associated antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (VRP-CEA(6D)), and VRP-IL-12 was also administered at the same site or at a distant location. CEA-specific T cell and antibody responses were measured. To determine antitumor activity, mice were implanted with MC38-CEA-2 cells and immunized with VRP-CEA with and without VRP-IL-12, and tumor growth and mouse survival were measured. VRP-IL-12 greatly enhanced CEA-specific T cell and antibody responses when combined with VRP-CEA(6D) vaccination. VRP-IL-12 was superior to IL-12 protein at enhancing immune responses. Vaccination with VRP-CEA(6D) plus VRP-IL-12 was superior to VRP-CEA(6D) or VRP-IL-12 alone in inducing antitumor activity and prolonging survival in tumor-bearing mice. Importantly, local injection of VRP-IL-12 at the VRP-CEA(6D) injection site provided more potent activation of CEA-specific immune responses than that of VRP-IL-12 injected at a distant site from the VRP-CEA injections. Together, this study shows that VRP-IL-12 enhances vaccination with VRP-CEA(6D) and was more effective at activating CEA-specific T cell responses when locally expressed at the vaccine site. Clinical trials evaluating the adjuvant effect of VRP-IL-12 at enhancing the immunogenicity of cancer vaccines are warranted. 相似文献

The safety and immunogenicity of the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) or HPV18 (HPV16/18) E7 antigen-pulsed mature dendritic cell (DC) vaccination were evaluated for patients with stage IB or IIA cervical cancer. Escalating doses of autologous DC (5, 10, and 15 × 106 cells for injection) were pulsed with recombinant HPV16/18 E7 antigens and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH; an immunological tracer molecule) and delivered in five subcutaneous injections at 21-day intervals to 10 cervical cancer patients with no evidence of disease after they underwent radical surgery. Safety, toxicity, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction, and induction of serological and cellular immunity against HPV16/18 E7 and KLH were monitored. DC vaccination was well tolerated, and no significant toxicities were recorded. All patients developed CD4+ T-cell and antibody responses to DC vaccination, as detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISpot) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), respectively, and 8 out of 10 patients demonstrated levels of E7-specific CD8+ T-cell counts, detected by ELISpot during or immediately after immunization, that were increased compared to prevaccination baseline levels. The vaccine dose did not predict the magnitude of the antibody or T-cell response or the time to detection of HPV16/18 E7-specific immunity. DTH responses to intradermal injections of HPV E7 antigen and KLH were detected for all patients after vaccination. We conclude that HPV E7-loaded DC vaccination is safe and immunogenic for stage IB or IIA cervical cancer patients. Phase II E7-pulsed DC-based vaccination trials with cervical cancer patients harboring a limited tumor burden, or who are at significant risk of tumor recurrence, are warranted. 相似文献

Dendritic cell (DC)–targeting vaccines show great promise in increasing antitumor immunity. Glycan-engineered vaccines facilitate both DC targeting and increased uptake by DCs for processing and presentation to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to induce tumor-specific T-cell responses. However, the complexity of various DC subsets in skin tissues, expressing different glycan-binding receptors that can mediate vaccine uptake or drainage of vaccines via lymphatics directly to the lymph node–resident DCs, complicates the success of vaccines. Moreover, the influx of inflammatory immune cells to the site of vaccination, such as monocytes that differentiate to DCs and coexpress glycan-binding receptors, may contribute to the strength of DC-targeting glycovaccines for future clinical use. 相似文献

The age-related decline in immunity reduces the effectiveness of vaccines in older adults. Immunosenescence is associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation, and the accumulation of senescent cells. The latter express Bcl-2 family members (providing resistance to cell death) and exhibit a pro-inflammatory, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Preexisting senescent cells cause many aging-related disorders and therapeutic means of eliminating these cells have recently gained attention. The potential consequences of senescent cell removal on vaccine efficacy in older individuals are still ignored. We used the Bcl-2 family inhibitor ABT-263 to investigate the effects of pre-vaccination senolysis on immune responses in old mice. Two different ovalbumin (OVA)-containing vaccines (containing a saponin-based or a CpG oligodeoxynucleotide adjuvant) were tested. ABT-263 depleted senescent cells (apoptosis) and ablated the basal and lipopolysaccharide-induced production of SASP-related factors in old mice. Depletion of senescent cells prior to vaccination (prime/boost) had little effect on OVA-specific antibody and T-cell responses (slightly reduced and augmented, respectively). We then used a preclinical melanoma model to test the antitumor potential of senolysis before vaccination (prime with the vaccine and OVA boost by tumor cells). Surprisingly, ABT-263 treatment abrogated the vaccine's ability to protect against B16 melanoma growth in old animals, an effect associated with reduced antigen-specific T-cell responses. Some, but not all, of the effects were age-specific, which suggests that preexisting senescent cells were partly involved. Hence, depletion of senescent cells modifies immune responses to vaccines in some settings and caution should be taken when incorporating senolytics into vaccine-based cancer therapies. 相似文献

A major goal of immunotherapy for cancer is the activation of T cell responses against tumor-associated antigens (TAAs). One important strategy for improving antitumor immunity is vaccination with peptide variants of TAAs. Understanding the mechanisms underlying the expansion of T cells that respond to the native tumor antigen is an important step in developing effective peptide-variant vaccines. Using an immunogenic mouse colon cancer model, we compare the binding properties and the TCR genes expressed by T cells elicited by peptide variants that elicit variable antitumor immunity directly ex vivo. The steady-state affinity of the natural tumor antigen for the T cells responding to effective peptide vaccines was higher relative to ineffective peptides, consistent with their improved function. Ex vivo analysis showed that T cells responding to the effective peptides expressed a CDR3β motif, which was also shared by T cells responding to the natural antigen and not those responding to the less effective peptide vaccines. Importantly, these data demonstrate that peptide vaccines can expand T cells that naturally respond to tumor antigens, resulting in more effective antitumor immunity. Future immunotherapies may require similar stringent analysis of the responding T cells to select optimal peptides as vaccine candidates. 相似文献

We have developed novel DNA fusion vaccines encoding tumor Ags fused to pathogen-derived sequences. This strategy activates linked T cell help and, using fragment C of tetanus toxin, amplification of anti-tumor Ab, CD4(+), and CD8(+) T cell responses is achievable in mice. However, there is concern that simple DNA vaccine injection may produce inadequate responses in larger humans. To overcome this, we tested electroporation as a method to increase the transfection efficiency and immune responses by these tumor vaccines in vivo in mice. Using a DNA vaccine expressing the CTL epitope AH1 from colon carcinoma CT26, we confirmed that effective priming and tumor protection in mice are highly dependent on vaccine dose and volume. However, suboptimal vaccination was rendered effective by electroporation, priming higher levels of AH1-specific CD8(+) T cells able to protect mice from tumor growth. Electroporation during priming with our optimal vaccination protocol did not improve CD8(+) T cell responses. In contrast, electroporation during boosting strikingly improved vaccine performance. The prime/boost strategy was also effective if electroporation was used at both priming and boosting. For Ab induction, DNA vaccination is generally less effective than protein. However, prime/boost with naked DNA followed by electroporation dramatically increased Ab levels. Thus, the priming qualities of DNA fusion vaccines, integrated with the improved Ag expression offered by electroporation, can be combined in a novel homologous prime/boost approach, to generate superior antitumor immune responses. Therefore, boosting may not require viral vectors, but simply a physical change in delivery, facilitating application to the cancer clinic. 相似文献

The use of DNA vaccines for generating antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses has been well established. However, little is known about the quantitative and qualitative aspects of CD8+ T cell responses and protective immunity generated after repeated DNA vaccinations. We used human papillomavirus (HPV) type-16 E7 as a model tumor antigen in an E7-expressing tumor model, TC-1, to assess the influence of the frequency of DNA vaccinations on E7-specific immunological and antitumor responses. Mice were vaccinated with 1–4 inoculations of pcDNA3-E7 DNA. Immunological assays and tumor protection experiments were performed to assess the effect of repeated E7 DNA vaccination on E7-specific T cells and E7-expressing tumors. Our results demonstrated that mice receiving an increased number of E7 DNA vaccinations exhibited higher E7-specific CTL activity, a rapid expansion of E7-specific IFN--secreting CD8+ T cells upon stimulation with E7 antigen, and a stronger antitumor effect against an E7-expressing tumor. Furthermore, we found that increasing the number of E7 DNA vaccinations followed by vaccinia booster enhanced the functional avidity of E7-specific CD8+ T cells. Our data suggest that quantitative and qualitative characteristics of antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses and the ensuing protective antitumor effect can be influenced by the frequency of DNA vaccinations. These results have important clinical implications for the use of naked DNA vaccines in cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Dendritic cells efficiently acquire and present antigen derived from lung cancer cells and induce antigen-specific T-cell responses 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Active immunotherapy of cancer requires the availability of a source of tumor antigens. To date, no such antigen associated with lung cancer has been identified. We have therefore investigated the ability of dendritic cells (DC) to capture whole irradiated human lung tumor cells and to present a defined surrogate antigen derived from the ingested tumor cells. We also describe an in vitro system using a modified human adenocarcinoma cell line (A549-M1) that expresses the well-characterized, immunogenic influenza M1 matrix protein as a surrogate tumor antigen. Peripheral blood monocyte-derived DC, when co-cultured with sub-lethally irradiated A549 cells or primary lung tumor cells derived from surgical resection of non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC), efficiently ingested the tumor cells as determined by flow cytometry analysis and confocal microscopic examination. More importantly, DC loaded with irradiated A549-M1 cells efficiently processed and presented tumor cell-derived M1 antigen to T cells and elicited antigen-specific immune responses that included IFNgamma release from an M1-specific T-cell line, expansion of M1 peptide-specific Vbeta17+ and CD8+ peripheral T cells and generation of M1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). We also compared DC loaded with irradiated tumor cells to those loaded with tumor cell lysate or killed tumor cells and found that irradiated lung tumor cells as a source of tumor antigen for DC loading is superior to tumor cell lysate or killed tumor cells in efficient induction of antigen-specific T-cell responses. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of using lung tumor cell-loaded DC to induce immune responses against lung cancer-associated antigens and support ongoing efforts to develop a DC-based lung cancer vaccine. 相似文献

Activation of innate immune cells through TLR triggers immunomodulating events that enhance cell-mediated immunity, raising the possibility that ligands to these receptors might act as adjuvants in conjunction with T cell activating vaccines. In this report, topical imiquimod, a synthetic TLR7 agonist, significantly enhanced the protective antitumor effects of a live, recombinant listeria vaccine against murine melanoma. This tumor protective effect was not dependent on direct application to the tumor and was associated with an increase in tumor-associated and splenic dendritic cells. Additionally, the combination of imiquimod treatment with prior vaccination led to development of localized vitiligo. These findings indicate that activation of the innate immune system with TLR ligands stimulates dendritic cell activity resulting in a bypass of peripheral tolerance and enhanced antitumor activity. The results of these studies have broad implications for future designs of immunotherapeutic vaccines against tumors and the treatment of metastatic melanoma. 相似文献

Dendritic cell (DC)-based antitumor vaccine is a novel cancer immunotherapy that is promising for reducing cancer-related mortality. However, results from early clinical trials were suboptimal. A possible explanation is that many tumors secrete immunosuppressive factors such as TGF-beta, which may hamper host immune response to DC vaccine. In this study, we demonstrated that TGF-beta produced by tumors significantly reduced the potency of DC/tumor fusion vaccines. TGF-beta-secreting (CT26-TGF-beta) stable mouse colon cancer cell lines were generated using a retroviral vector expressing TGF-beta. A non-TGF-beta-secreting (CT26-neo) cell line was generated using an empty retroviral vector. The efficacies of DC/tumor fusion vaccines were assessed in vitro and in vivo. DC/CT26-TGF-beta fusion cells failed to induce a strong T cell proliferative response in vitro, mainly due to the effect of TGF-beta on T cell responsiveness rather than DC stimulatory capability. Animals vaccinated with DC/CT26-TGF-beta fusion vaccine had lower tumor-specific CTL activity and had significantly lower survival after tumor challenge as compared with animals immunized with DC/CT26-neo hybrids (45 vs 77%, p < 0.05). Ex vivo exposure of DCs to TGF-beta did not appear to lessen the efficacy of DC vaccine. These data suggest that tumor-derived TGF-beta reduces the efficacy of DC/tumor fusion vaccine via an in vivo mechanism. Neutralization of TGF-beta produced by the fusion cells may enhance the effectiveness of DC-based immunotherapy. 相似文献

Previously, we compared the efficiency of direct injection with an adenovirus (Ad) expressing human gp100 (hgp100) to immunization with dendritic cells (DC) loaded with the same vector ex vivo. The DC vaccine provided the greatest protection against challenge with B16F10 melanoma, and antitumor immunity was found to be CD8(+) T cell-independent. In the current study, we sought to determine whether lack of CD8(+) T cell-mediated antitumor immunity was a function of the vaccine platform or the tumor line. Both Ad and DC/Ad vaccines elicited CD8(+) CTL reactive against hgp100 and provided protection against B16F10 engineered to express hgp100 demonstrating that both vaccination platforms can effectively generate protective CD8(+) T cell-mediated immunity. The hgp100-induced CTL cross-reacted with murine gp100 (mgp100) and lysed B16F10 cells pulsed with mgp100 peptide indicating that the resistance of B16F10 cells to CTL elicited by hgp100 vaccination may be due to a defect in processing of the endogenous mgp100. Indeed, introduction of the TAP-1 cDNA into B16F10 rendered the cells sensitive to lysis by gp100-specific CTL. Furthermore, gp100-immunized mice were protected from challenge with B16F10-TAP1 cells through a mechanism dependent upon CD8(+) T cells. These results demonstrate that tumor phenotype, not the vaccination platform, ultimately determines CD8(+) or CD4(+) T cell-mediated tumor clearance. 相似文献

Anticancer vaccines have been extensively studied in animal models and in clinical trials. While vaccination can lead to tumor protection in numerous murine models, objective tumor regressions after anticancer vaccination in clinical trials have been rare. B16 is a poorly immunogenic murine melanoma that has been extensively used in anticancer vaccination experiments. Because B16 has been widely used, different vaccination strategies can be compared. We reviewed the results obtained when B16 was treated with five common vaccine types: recombinant viral vaccines, DNA vaccines, dendritic cell vaccines, whole-tumor vaccines, and peptide vaccines. We also reviewed the results obtained when B16 was treated with vaccines combined with adoptive transfer of tumor antigen-specific T cells. We found several characteristics of vaccination regimens that were associated with antitumor efficacy. Many vaccines that incorporated xenogeneic antigens exhibited more potent anticancer activity than vaccines that were identical except that they incorporated the syngeneic version of the same antigen. Interleukin-2 enhanced the antitumor efficacy of several vaccines. Finally, several effective regimens generated large numbers of tumor antigen-specific CD8(+) T cells. Identification of vaccine characteristics that are associated with antitumor efficacy may aid in the development of more effective anticancer vaccination strategies. 相似文献

Tumor growth is controlled by natural antitumor immune responses alone or by augmented immune reactivity resulting from different forms of immunotherapy, which has demonstrated clinical benefit in numerous studies, although the overall percentage of patients with durable clinical responses remains limited. This is attributed to the heterogeneity of the disease, the inclusion of late-stage patients with no other treatment options and advanced tumor-associated immunosuppression, which may be consolidated by certain types of chemotherapy. Despite variable responsiveness to distinct types of immunotherapy, therapeutic cancer vaccination has shown meaningful efficacy for a variety of cancers. A key step during cancer vaccination involves the appropriate modeling of the functional state of dendritic cells (DCs) capable of co-delivering four critical signals for proper instruction of tumor antigen–specific T cells. However, the education of DCs, either directly in situ, or ex vivo by various complex procedures, lacks standardization. Also, it is questioned whether ex vivo–prepared DC vaccines are superior to in situ–administered adjuvant-guided vaccines, although both approaches have shown success. Evaluation of these variables is further complicated by a lack of consensus in evaluating vaccination clinical study end points. We discuss the role of signals needed for the preparation of classic in situ and modern ex vivo DC vaccines capable of proper reprogramming of antitumor immune responses in patients with cancer. 相似文献

Synergism between CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides and IL-2 causes dramatic enhancement of vaccine-elicited CD8+ T cell responses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Novel anticancer vaccination regimens that can elicit large numbers of Ag-specific T cells are needed. When we administered therapeutic vaccines containing the MHC class I-presented self-peptide tyrosinase-related protein (TRP)-2(180-188) and CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODN) to mice, growth of the TRP-2-expressing B16F1 melanoma was not inhibited compared with growth in mice that received control vaccinations. When we added systemic IL-2 to the TRP-2(180-188) plus CpG ODN vaccines, growth of B16F1 was inhibited in a CD8-dependent, epitope-specific manner. Vaccines containing TRP-2(180-188) without CpG ODN did not cause epitope-specific tumor growth inhibition when administered with IL-2. The antitumor efficacy of the different regimens correlated with their ability to elicit TRP-2(180-188)-specific CD8+ T cell responses. When we administered TRP-2(180-188) plus CpG ODN-containing vaccines with systemic IL-2, 18.2% of CD8+ T cells were specific for TRP-2(180-188). Identical TRP-2(180-188) plus CpG ODN vaccines given without IL-2 elicited a TRP-2(180-188)-specific CD8+ T cell response of only 1.1% of CD8+ T cells. Vaccines containing TRP-2(180-188) without CpG ODN elicited TRP-2(180-188)-specific responses of 2.8% of CD8+ T cells when administered with IL-2. There was up to a 221-fold increase in the absolute number of TRP-2(180-188)-specific CD8+ T cells when IL-2 was added to TRP-2(180-188) plus CpG ODN-containing vaccines. Peptide plus CpG ODN vaccines administered with IL-2 generated epitope-specific CD8+ T cells by a mechanism that depended on endogenous IL-6. This is the first report of synergism between CpG ODN and IL-2. This synergism caused a striking increase in vaccine-elicited CD8+ T cells and led to epitope-specific antitumor immunity. 相似文献
