Characterization of heat shock protein 110 and glucose-regulated protein 170 as cancer vaccines and the effect of fever-range hyperthermia on vaccine activity 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Several studies have confirmed that certain stress proteins can function as potent vaccines against a specific cancer when purified from the same tumor. Recent studies of two long-recognized but unstudied stress proteins, heat shock protein (hsp) 110 and glucose-regulated protein (grp) 170, have shown them to be efficient peptide chain-binding proteins. The present investigation examines the vaccine potential of hsp110 and grp170. First, it is shown that prior vaccination with hsp110 or grp170 purified from methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma caused complete regression of the tumor. In a second tumor model, hsp110 or grp170 purified from Colon 26 tumors led to a significant growth inhibition of this tumor. In addition, hsp110 or grp170 immunization significantly extended the life span of Colon 26 tumor-bearing mice when applied after tumor transplantation. A tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte response developed in the mice immunized with tumor-derived hsp110 or grp170. Furthermore, treatments of the mice with bone marrow-derived dendritic cells pulsed with these two proteins from tumor also elicited a strong antitumor response. Last, we showed that mild, fever-like hyperthermic conditions enhance the vaccine efficiency of hsp110 as well as heat shock cognate 70, but not grp170. These studies indicate that hsp110 and grp170 can be used in hsp-based cancer immunotherapy, that Ag-presenting dendritic cells can be used to mediate this therapeutic approach, and that fever-level hyperthermia can significantly enhance the vaccine efficiency of hsps. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins loaded with viral peptides were shown to induce a CD8+ T cell response and confer protective immunity against challenge with herpes simplex virus (HSV). The delivery system consisted of recombinant human hsp70 coupled to the peptide SSIEFARL, which is the immunodominant peptide epitope, recognized by HSV specific T cells in C57BL/6 mice. Immunization resulted in CD8+ T-cell responses, measured by peptide-specific tetramers and peptide-induced intracellular gamma interferon expression and cytotoxicity, similar to responses resulting from immunization with a recombinant vaccinia virus that expressed SSIEFARL as a minigene (VvgB) and UV-inactivated HSV. However, the durability of the hsp70-SSIEFARL response was less than that resulting from VvgB and HSV immunization and in addition the CD8+ T-cell responses in the memory phase were functionally less effective. Mice challenged soon after immunization showed excellent immunity, but by 90 days postimmunization this had waned to be significantly less than the level of immunity in both VvgB- and HSV-immunized mice. 相似文献

Human tumor-derived heat shock protein 96 mediates in vitro activation and in vivo expansion of melanoma- and colon carcinoma-specific T cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Rivoltini L Castelli C Carrabba M Mazzaferro V Pilla L Huber V Coppa J Gallino G Scheibenbogen C Squarcina P Cova A Camerini R Lewis JJ Srivastava PK Parmiani G 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2003,171(7):3467-3474
Heat shock proteins (hsp) 96 play an essential role in protein metabolism and exert stimulatory activities on innate and adaptive immunity. Vaccination with tumor-derived hsp96 induces CD8(+) T cell-mediated tumor regressions in different animal models. In this study, we show that hsp96 purified from human melanoma or colon carcinoma activate tumor- and Ag-specific T cells in vitro and expand them in vivo. HLA-A*0201-restricted CD8(+) T cells recognizing Ags expressed in human melanoma (melanoma Ag recognized by T cell-1 (MART-1)/melanoma Ag A (Melan-A)) or colon carcinoma (carcinoembryonic Ag (CEA)/epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)) were triggered to release IFN-gamma and to mediate cytotoxic activity by HLA-A*0201-matched APCs pulsed with hsp96 purified from tumor cells expressing the relevant Ag. Such activation occurred in class I HLA-restricted fashion and appeared to be significantly higher than that achieved by direct peptide loading. Immunization with autologous tumor-derived hsp96 induced a significant increase in the recognition of MART-1/Melan-A(27-35) in three of five HLA-A*0201 melanoma patients, and of CEA(571-579) and EpCAM(263-271) in two of five HLA-A*0201 colon carcinoma patients, respectively, as detected by ELISPOT and HLA/tetramer staining. These increments in Ag-specific T cell responses were associated with a favorable disease course after hsp96 vaccination. Altogether, these data provide evidence that hsp96 derived from human tumors can present antigenic peptides to CD8(+) T cells and activate them both in vitro and in vivo, thus representing an important tool for vaccination in cancer patients. 相似文献

Antibodies to murine leukemia virus gp70 and p15(E) in sera of BALB/c mice immunized with syngeneic chemically induced sarcomas 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The sera of BALB/c mice immunized with syngeneic methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas commonly contain antibodies that react with the immunizing tumor line and also with other chemically induced sarcomas. Three lines of evidence suggest that the cross-reactive antibodies are directed against antigenic determinants of gp70 and p15(E), envelope proteins of endogenous murine leukemia virus (MuLV). 1) The antibodies bind only to sarcomas expressing MuLV antigens, 2) they are removed by absorption with purified MuLV antigens, and 3) they precipitate proteins identified as gp70 and p15(E) from 125I-labeled sarcoma cell lysates. 相似文献

We have demonstrated previously that immunization with tumor-derived endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone glucose-regulated protein 170 (grp170) elicits potent antitumor immunity. In the present study, we determine the impact of extracellular targeting grp170 by molecular engineering on tumor immunogenicity and potential use of grp170-secreting tumor cells as a cancer vaccine. grp170 depleted of ER retention sequence "KNDEL," when secreted by B16 tumor cells, maintained its highly efficient chaperoning activities and was significantly superior to both hsp70 and gp96. The continued secretion of grp170 dramatically reduced the tumorigenicity of B16 tumor cells in vivo, although the modification did not alter its transformation phenotype and cell growth rate. C57BL/6 mice that rejected grp170-secreting B16 tumor cells (B16-sgrp170) developed a strong CTL response recognizing melanocyte differentiation Ag TRP2 and were resistant to subsequent tumor challenge. B16-sgrp170 cells also stimulated the production of proinflammatory cytokines by cocultured dendritic cells. Depletion studies in vivo indicate that NK cells play a primary role in elimination of viable B16-sgrp170 tumor cells inoculated into the animals, whereas both NK cells and CD8(+) T cells are required for a long-term protection against wild-type B16 tumor challenge. Both the secreted and endogenous grp170, when purified from the B16 tumor, exhibited potent tumor-protective activities. However, the B16-sgrp170 cell appears to be more effective than tumor-derived grp170. Thus, molecular engineering of tumor cell to release the largest ER chaperone grp170 is capable of eliciting innate as well as adaptive immune responses, which may provide an effective cell-based vaccination approach for cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

The influence of the type of immunosorbent on rabies antibody EIA; advantages of purified glycoprotein over whole virus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Two types of in vitro assay (enzyme immunoassay and sero-neutralization test) for the titration of rabies antibodies were used to assay sera from mice and humans immunized with cell culture vaccines or neural tissue vaccines. Enzyme immunoassays (EIA) were performed in plates sensitized with whole virus, purified glycoprotein or purified nucleocapsid. Neutralizing antibody titres were determined by the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (REFIT) and by an in vitro seroneutralization test including a rapid enzyme immunotitration of intracellular antigens (REITICA). The results obtained with sera of immunized mice and humans showed that (1) cell culture vaccines mainly induced the synthesis of antiglycoprotein neutralizing antibodies; and (2) neural tissue vaccines induced a high synthesis of antinucleocapsid non-neutralizing antibodies and a more or less important synthesis of antiglycoprotein antibodies depending on the origin of the tissue used for their preparation. Consequently, it was emphasized that when using EIA, the antibody titration must be run in glycoprotein-coated plates rather than in whole virus-coated plates to appreciate correctly the immunizing potency of a rabies vaccine, especially neural tissue vaccine. 相似文献

In vivo and in vitro activation of T cells after administration of Ag-negative heat shock proteins 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Heat shock proteins (HSP) Hsp70 and gp96 prime class I-restricted cytotoxic T cells against Ags present in the cells from which they were isolated. The immunization capacity of HSPs is believed to rely on their ability to bind antigenic peptides. In this study, we employed the well-established OVA and beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) antigenic model systems. We show that in vitro long-term established OVA and beta-gal-specific CTL clones release TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma when incubated with Ag-negative Hsp70 and gp96. In the absence of antigenic peptides, HSP-mediated secretion of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma requires cell contact of the APC with the T cell but is not MHC-I restricted. Moreover, Hsp70 molecules purified from Ag-negative tissue, e.g., negative for antigenic peptide, are able to activate T cells in vivo, leading to significant higher frequencies in OVA-specific CD8+ T cells. In unprimed animals, these T cells lyse OVA-transfected cell lines and produce TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma after Ag stimulus. Taken together our data show that, besides the well-established HSP/peptide-specific CTL induction and activation, a second mechanism exists by which Hsp70 and gp96 molecules activate T cells in vivo and in vitro. 相似文献

Bacterial heat shock proteins (hsp) are evolutionary conserved immunodominant proteins that manifest amino acid homologies with hsp present in mammalian cells. Preimmunization with mycobacterial hsp65 has been found to protect against various forms of experimental arthritis. As these protective effects have previously been attributed to induction of self homologue cross-reactive T cell responses, the question was raised as to whether this protective effect could be extended to other highly conserved and immunodominant microbial Ags with mammalian homologues. Therefore, we immunized Lewis rats with conserved bacterial Ags (superoxide dismutase, aldolase, GAPDH, and hsp70). Although all Ags appeared highly immunogenic, we only found a protective effect in experimental arthritis after immunization with bacterial hsp70. The protective effect of hsp70 was accompanied with a switch in the subclasses of hsp70-specific Abs, suggesting the induction of Th2-like response. The most striking difference between immunization with hsp70 and all other immunodominant Ags was the expression of IL-10 found after immunization with hsp70. Even more, while immunization with hsp70 led to Ag-induced production of IL-10 and IL-4, immunization with aldolase led to increased production of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. Thus, the protective effect of conserved immunodominant proteins in experimental arthritis seems to be a specific feature of hsp. Therefore, hsp may offer unique possibilities for immunological intervention in inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Heterogeneity of antibodies directed against the trinitrophenyl (TNP) determinant in immunized mice was analyzed by investigating the band groups of antibodies formed by thin layer isoelectric focusing of serum. The degree of heterogeneity in C57BL/6 mice was markedly higher than that in CBA mice under the following conditions of immunization: immunization with TNP conjugated with bovine gamma-globulin or ovalbumin, interchange of these carrier proteins at the first and second injections, change of epitope density of the antigens, replacement of the hapten by dinitrophenyl group on the antigen for the secondary stimulation, and change of intervals of these injections from 15 days to five months. The degree of heterogeneity within a strain also varied with these immunizing conditions. Furthermore, the heterogeneity in C57BL/6 mice of any immunization group was greater than that in CBA mice in any group. This was also true when the heterogeneity was examined with the immune sera diluted to the same titer. These results indicate that the number of predominant clones of cells producing anti-TNP antibody after immunization is larger in C57BL/6 than in CBA mice. 相似文献

Tumor-derived heat shock protein 70 peptide complexes are cross-presented by human dendritic cells 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Our study demonstrates that tumor-derived heat shock protein (HSP)70 chaperones a tyrosinase peptide and mediates its transfer to human immature dendritic cells (DCs) by receptor-dependent uptake. Human tumor-derived HSP70 peptide complexes (HSP70-PC) thus have the immunogenic potential to instruct DCs to cross-present endogenously expressed, nonmutated, and tumor antigenic peptides that are shared among tumors of the melanocytic lineage for T cell recognition. T cell stimulation by HSP70-instructed DCs is dependent on the Ag bound to HSP70 in that only DCs incubated with HSP70-PC purified from tyrosinase-positive (HSP70-PC/tyr(+)) but not from tyrosinase-negative (HSP70-PC/tyr(-)) melanoma cells resulted in the specific activation of the HLA-A*0201-restricted tyrosinase peptide-specific cytotoxic T cell clone. HSP70-PC-mediated T cell stimulation is very efficient, delivering the tyrosinase peptide at concentrations as low as 30 ng/ml of HSP70-PC for T cell recognition. Receptor-dependent binding of HSP70-PC and active cell metabolism are prerequisites for MHC class I-restricted cross-presentation and T cell stimulation. T cell stimulation does not require external DC maturation signals (e.g., exogenously added TNF-alpha), suggesting that signaling DC maturation is an intrinsic property of the HSP70-PC itself and related to receptor-mediated binding. The cross-presentation of a shared human tumor Ag together with the exquisite efficacy are important new aspects for HSP70-based immunotherapy in clinical anti-cancer vaccination strategies, and suggest a potential extension of HSP70-based vaccination protocols from a patient-individual treatment modality to its use in an allogeneic setting. 相似文献

In the rotavirus SA11 surface protein VP4, the trypsin cleavage sites associated with the enhancement of infectivity are flanked by two amino acid regions that are highly conserved among different rotaviruses. We have tested the ability of synthetic peptides that mimic these two regions to induce and prime for a rotavirus neutralizing antibody response in mice. After the peptide immunization schedule, both peptides induced peptide antibodies, but neither was able to induce virus antibodies, as measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or a neutralization assay. However, when the peptide-inoculated mice were subsequently injected with intact SA11 virus, a rapid and high neutralizing antibody response was observed in mice that had previously received the peptide comprising amino acids 220 to 233 of the VP4 protein. This neutralizing activity was serotype specific; however, this peptide was also able to efficiently prime the immune system of mice for a neutralizing antibody response to the heterotypic rotavirus ST3 when the ST3 virus was used for the secondary inoculation. 相似文献

Investigation on the effect of peptides mixture from tumor cells inducing anti-tumor specific immune response 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
The peptides mixture was prepared from tumor cells by freezing-thawing cells, precipitation by heating, followed by acidification of the solution. The activation and proliferation of mouse splenocytes by HSP70-peptide complex, formed by the binding of HSP70 and peptides in vitro, were observed, so was the specific cytotoxicity of the proliferative lymphocytes to tumor cells. The phenotypes of the proliferative lymphocytes were analyzed by a flow cytometer. BALB/c mice inoculated with H22 hepatocarcinoma cells in peritoneal cavity or hind thigh were immunized by injection with HSP70-peptides complex to observe the inhibitory effect of the immunization on tumor and lifetime of tumor-bearing mice. On the other hand, blood samples were collected from the immunized mice to check the functions of liver and kidney. The results showed that the peptides mixture from tumor cells contained tumor-specific antigen peptides which could be presented by HSP70 to activate lymphocytes in vitro, the proliferative lymphocyt 相似文献

The tailless complex polypeptide-1 ring complex (TRiC) is a eukaryotic heat shock protein 60 (hsp60) molecule that has been shown to bind N-terminally extended precursors of OVA-derived SIINFEKL in vivo. Binding of peptides to TRiC was shown to be essential for their presentation on MHC class I. We demonstrate in this study that purified TRiC binds antigenic peptides in vitro as well; however, such binding is not restricted to N-terminally extended peptides, suggesting that the results obtained in vivo reflect the availability of peptides in vivo rather than structural constraints of TRiC-peptide binding. Immunization of mice with noncovalent complexes of peptides (derived from OVA or β-galactosidase) and TRiC results in cross-priming of CD8(+) T lymphocytes specific for K(b)/SIINFEKL or L(d)/TPHPARIGL. Mechanistic dissection of this phenomenon shows that TRiC binds APC, and TRiC-chaperoned peptides are processed within the APC and presented on their MHC class I. Immunogenicity of TRiC purified from OVA- or β-galactosidase-expressing cells, that is, of endogenously generated TRiC-peptide complexes, was investigated, and such preparations were observed not to be immunogenic. Consistent with this observation, SIINFEKL or its precursors were not observed to be associated with TRiC purified from cells expressing a fusion GFP-OVA protein. In contrast, immunization with TRiC purified from a tumor elicited specific protection against a challenge with that tumor. These results are interpreted with respect to the cell biological properties of TRiC and suggest that in vivo, TRiC binds a limited proportion of peptides derived from a limited set of intracellular proteins. 相似文献

Antibodies to the bovine prion protein were produced by immunizing mice of three lines with five synthetic fragments of the protein and six of their analogues. The analogues contained amino acid substitutions that, according to theoretical calculation, should lead to an increase in the immunogenic activity of peptides. All the peptides except for one induced the formation of antibodies. All the sera containing the antipeptide antibodies were tested by an immunohistochemical method. The sera effectively bound to brain preparations from an animal with spongiform encephalopathy were identified; it was shown that they do not interact with preparations of normal brain. Therefore, it was shown that the immunization of mice with synthetic fragments of a prion protein allows one to obtain specific antibodies suitable for the study and diagnostics of prion diseases. 相似文献

Cell Stress & Chaperones journal has become a major outlet for papers and review articles about anti-heat shock protein (HSP) antibodies. In the last
decade, it became evident that apart from their intracellular localization, members of the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90; HSPC)
and Hsp70 (HSPA) family are also found on the cell surface. In this review, we will focus on Hsp70 (HSPA1A), the major stress-inducible
member of the human Hsp70 family. Depending on the cell type, the membrane association of Hsp70 comes in two forms. In tumor
cells, Hsp70 appears to be integrated within the plasma membrane, whereas in non-malignantly transformed (herein termed normal)
cells, Hsp70 is associated with cell surface receptors. This observation raises the question whether or not these two surface
forms of Hsp70 in tumor and normal cells can be distinguished using Hsp70 specific antibodies. Presently a number of Hsp70
specific antibodies are commercially available. These antibodies were generated by immunizing mice either with recombinant
or HeLa-derived human Hsp70 protein, parts of the Hsp70 protein, or with synthetic peptides. This review aims to characterize
the binding of different anti-human Hsp70 antibodies and their capacity to distinguish between integrated and receptor-bound
Hsp70 in tumor and normal cells. 相似文献

Previously, we showed that nine intradermal injections of a plasmid in which the HSVtk suicide gene is expressed from a melanocyte-specific promoter (Tyr-HSVtk), combined with a plasmid expressing heat shock protein 70 (CMV-hsp70), along with systemic ganciclovir, kills normal melanocytes and raises a CD8+ T cell response that is potent enough to eradicate small, 3-day established B16 tumors. We show in this study that, in that regimen, hsp70 acts as a potent immune adjuvant through TLR-4 signaling and local induction of TNF-alpha. hsp70 is required for migration of APC resident in the skin to the draining lymph nodes to present Ags, derived from the killing of normal melanocytes, to naive T cells. The addition of a plasmid expressing CD40L increased therapeutic efficacy, such that only six plasmid injections were now required to cure large, 9-day established tumors. Generation of potent immunological memory against rechallenge in cured mice accompanied these therapeutic gains, as did induction of aggressive autoimmune symptoms. Expression of CD40L, along with hsp70, increased both the frequency and activity of T cells activated against melanocyte-derived Ags. In this way, addition of CD40L to the hsp70-induced inflammatory killing of melanocytes can be used to cure large established tumors and to confer immunological memory against tumor cells, although a concomitant increase in autoimmune sequelae also is produced. 相似文献

Hsp-antigen fusion and their use for immunization 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Immunization with antigenic peptide non-covalently associated with HSP elicits the peptide specific CD8+T cell response. The evidence encourages us to test the vaccination effect of recombinant HSP to which antigenic peptides are genetically fused. In the fusion protein, there should be no empty HSP molecules that failed to associate with the peptide of interest, like in vitro reconstitution method, therefore, promising effect may be easily obtained. Recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli often form inclusion bodies and are thereby obtained as insoluble proteins or as proteins lacking their original functions. We describe here a simple and rapid refolding method of histidine-tagged recombinant hsp70/hsp70-peptide complex using a Ni(2+)-agarose column chromatography, without taking a process of dialysis to remove denaturants. The hsp70(hsp70-peptide complex) expressed in E. coli as a form of inclusion body was solubilized in 8 M urea containing buffer and applied to a Ni(2+)-agarose column. The bound hsp70 was refolded on the column by quick removal of urea with urea-free buffer and eluted with a denaturant-free and imidazole-containing buffer. The purified hsp70 was homogeneous and soluble. In addition, it had a very high ATPase activity and strong CTL inducing activity, whereas hsp70 prepared by conventional dialysis method had a negligible ATPase activity. This simple and rapid refolding method may provide a general method for a restoration of function (and/or immunization effect) and solubility of histidine-tagged recombinant HSP. 相似文献

Anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody (mAb) 1E10 was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with an Ab1 mAb which recognizes NeuGc-containing
gangliosides, sulfatides and some tumor antigens. 1E10 mAb induces therapeutic effects in a primary breast carcinoma and a
melanoma model. However, the tumor immunity mechanisms have not been elucidated. Here we show that aluminum hydroxide-precipitated
1E10 mAb immunization induced anti-metastatic effect in the 3LL-D122 Lewis Lung carcinoma, a poorly immunogenic and highly
metastatic model in C57BL/6 mice. The therapeutic effect was associated to the increment of T cells infiltrating metastases,
the reduction of new blood vessels formation and the increase of apoptotic tumor cells in lung nodules. Interestingly, active
immunization does not induce measurable antibodies to the 1E10 mAb, the NeuGc-GM3 or tumor cells, which may suggest a different
mechanism which has to be elucidated. These findings may support the relevance of this target for cancer biotherapy. 相似文献
