Human heat shock protein 70 peptide complexes specifically activate antimelanoma T cells.

چکیده
Members of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) family display a broad cellular localization and thus bind a repertoire of chaperoned peptides potentially derived from proteins of different cellular compartments. In this report, we show that HSP70 purified from human melanoma can activate T cells recognizing melanoma differentiation antigens in an antigen- and HLA class I-dependent fashion. HLA class I-restricted anti-melanoma T cells were susceptible to MHC-restricted, HSP70-dependent stimulation, indicating that HSP70 complexed peptides were able to gain access to the class I HLA presentation pathway. In addition, MHC matching between the melanoma cells used as a source of HSP and the responding T cells were not required, indicating that HSP70 activation may occur across MHC barriers. Besides the MHC-restricted and peptide-dependent activation pathway, HSP70 with no endogenous complexed peptides or HSP70 purified from antigen-negative cells was also able to induce IFN-gamma release by antimelanoma T cells by a MHC-independent mechanism. In this case, however, higher doses of HSP70 were required. The capacity to activate class I-restricted, antitumor T cells as well as antigen-presenting cells, together with the finding that the HSP70 chaperoned peptide repertoire includes melanoma-shared epitopes, holds promise for a HSP70-based cancer vaccine.

A new purification method for enhancing the immunogenicity of heat shock protein 70-peptide complexes
When purified from a tumor, certain heat shock protein 70 (HSP70)-peptide complexes (PCs) can function as effective vaccines against the tumor from which the complexes were isolated. The immunogenic mechanisms of HSP70 preparations imply that tumor-derived HSP70-PCs exhibit antigens associated with antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells ...
متن کاملInduction of cellular immunity by immunization with novel hybrid peptides complexed to heat shock protein 70.
Heat shock proteins 70 (hsp70) derived from tissues and cells can elicit cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against peptides bound to hsp70. However, peptides can markedly differ in their affinity for hsp, and this potentially limits the repertoire of peptides available to induce CTL by the hsp immunization. Hybrid peptides consisting of a high-affinity ligand for the peptide-binding site o...

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is the causative agent of a highly contagious acute vesicular disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, sheep and pigs. The current vaccine induces a rapid humoral response, but the duration of the protective antibody response is variable, possibly associated with a variable specific CD4+ T cell response. We investigated the use of heat shock...

The heat shock protein, Hsp70, has been shown to play an important role in tumour immunity. Vaccination with Hsp70-peptide complexes (Hsp70-PCs), isolated from autologous tumour cells, can induce protective immune responses. We have developed a novel method to identify synthetic mimic peptides of Hsp70-PCs and to test their ability to activate T-cells. Peptides (referred to as "recognisers") th...
