چکیده
PURPOSE The adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of CD8(+) T cells is a promising treatment for advanced malignancies. Lymphodepletion before ACT enhances IFNγ(+)CD8(+) T cell (Tc0)-mediated tumor regression. Yet, how lymphodepletion regulates the function and antitumor activity of IL17A(+)CD8(+) T cells (Tc17) is unknown. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To address this question, pmel-1 CD8(+) T cells were polarized to secrete either IL17A or IFNγ. These subsets were then infused into mice with B16F10 melanoma that were lymphoreplete [no total body irradiation (TBI)], or lymphodepleted with nonmyeloablative (5 Gy) or myeloablative (9 Gy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation) TBI. The activation of innate immune cells and function of donor T-cell subsets were monitored in recipient mice. RESULTS Tc17 cells regress melanoma in myeloablated mice to a greater extent than in lymphoreplete or nonmyeloablated mice. TBI induced functional plasticity in Tc17 cells, causing conversion from IL17A to IFNγ producers. Additional investigation revealed that Tc17 plasticity and antitumor activity were mediated by IL12 secreted by irradiated host dendritic cells (DC). Neutralization of endogenous IL12 reduced the antitumor activity of Tc17 cells in myeloablated mice, whereas ex vivo priming with IL12 enhanced their capacity to regress melanoma in nonmyeloablated animals. This, coupled with exogenous administration of low-dose IL12, obviated the need for host preconditioning, creating curative responses in nonirradiated mice. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that TBI-induced IL12 augments Tc17 cell-mediated tumor immunity and underline the substantial implications of in vitro preparation of antitumor Tc17 cells with IL12 in the design of T-cell immunotherapies.

Administration of anti-CD25 mAb before an aggressive murine breast tumor inoculation provoked effective antitumor immunity. Compared with CD4(+) T cells purified from anti-CD25 mAb-pretreated mice that did not reject tumor, CD4(+) T cells purified from anti-CD25 mAb-pretreated mice that rejected tumor stimulated by dendritic cells (DCs) produced more IFN-gamma and IL-2, and less IL-17 in vitro,...

Dendritic cells (DCs) have been well characterized for their ability to initiate cell-mediated immune responses by stimulating naive T cells. However, the use of DCs to stimulate antigen-activated T cells in vivo has not been investigated. In this study, we determined whether DC vaccination could improve the efficacy of activated, adoptively transferred T cells to induce an enhanced antitumor i...

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...

Active-specific immunotherapy with dendritic cells loaded with peptide derived from the melanoma antigen, gp100, failed to mediate regression of established B16F10 melanoma in normal mice. Dendritic cell vaccination induced activation and subsequent deletion of adoptively transferred naive CD8+ T-cell receptor transgenic (pmel-1) T cells specific for gp100 in normal mice. In lymphodepleted mice...
