Anti-cancer vaccine candidates in specific immunotherapy for bladder carcinoma.

چکیده
We have previously identified numerous tumor-rejection antigens and their epitope peptides having the potential to induce cancer-reactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in patients with various types of cancer. In the present study, we attempted to determine which antigens and their peptides are useful in specific immunotherapy for bladder carcinoma (BC) patients, especially those with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A24+ alleles. The mRNA expression of a panel of cancer-associated antigens was examined regarding four BC cell lines. As a result, three candidate antigens, including SART3, multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3), and polycomb group protein enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), were expressed in three of four BC cell lines. Thereafter, antigen-derived peptides which we reported to induce cancer-reactive CTLs from HLA-A24+ patients with various types of cancer were examined for their potential to induce CTLs from peripheral-blood mononuclear cells of HLA-A24+ BC patients. Among these antigen-derived six peptides, SART3109-118, MRP31293-1301, and EZH2735-742 peptides efficiently induced peptide-specific and BC cell-reactive CTLs from HLA-A24+ BC patients. The cytotoxicity against BC cells was dependent on peptide-specific CD8+ T cells. IgG reactive to the SART3109-118 peptide was frequently detected in the plasma of BC patients. This information could facilitate the development of effective peptide-based immunotherapy for HLA-A24+ BC patients.

Introduction: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to play a critical role in tumor cell growth and its overexpression has been observed in many epithelial tumors. In the field of cancer vaccine research, displaying the peptide mimotope on the surface of phage particles has shown promising results. Methods: In this study using m13-PVIII phage display system, two constructs we...
متن کاملRole of IL-10 in Urinary Bladder Carcinoma and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Immunotherapy
Problem statement: Bladder cancer is a common urologic cancer and intravesical Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is the mainstay in the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. However, the current BCG therapy is not desirable with respect to its efficacy and side effects. Interleukin (IL)-10, a T helper type (Th) 2 cytokine, plays an important regulatory role in bladder cancer...

A combination of optical imaging technologies with cancer-specific molecular imaging agents is a potentially powerful strategy to improve cancer detection and enable image-guided surgery. Bladder cancer is primarily managed endoscopically by white light cystoscopy with suboptimal diagnostic accuracy. Emerging optical imaging technologies hold great potential for improved diagnostic accuracy but...

Introduction: Anticancer effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus, as a probiotic bacterium, have been indicated in several studies. There are common therapeutic options for bladder cancer treatment; however, their side effects and recurrence of disease are considerable. Therefore, complementary medication is essential and it must be safe and effective. In the present research, we assessed the anti...
متن کاملListeria Monocytogenes Activated Dendritic Cell Based Vaccine for Prevention of Experimental Tumor in Mice
Background: The use of dendritic cells (DCs) as a cellular adjuvant provides a promis-ing approach in immunotherapy of cancer. It has been demonstrated that Listeria mono-cytogenes activated DCs pulsed ex vivo with tumor antigens trigger a systemic Th1-biased specific immune response and a single dose of this vaccine will cause a consider-able anti tumor immunity. Objective: The present study w...
