Antitumor effects of a tumor cell vaccine expressing a membrane-bound form of the IL-12 p35 subunit.

Abstract:

:We investigated whether expression of the IL-12 p35 subunit in membrane-bound form in tumor cells enhanced their immunogenicity. Since p35 is only secreted when associated with the IL-12 p40 subunit, we generated tumor cells expressing membrane-bound forms of p35 and p40 as chimeras with the transmembrane/cytoplasmic region of TNFα (mbIL-12p35 and mbIL-12p40). The relevant vectors were transfected into MethA fibrosarcoma cells, and mbIL-12p35 or mbIL-12p40-expressing tumor clones were isolated and their ability to induce antitumor immunity studied. Cells of the mbIL-12p35 tumor clone induced CD69 expression and IFNγ production in purified CD8(+) T cells in vitro, and their in vivo tumorigenicity was reduced. Cells of the mbIL-12p40 tumor clone failed to show either of these activities. Mice that had rejected cells of the mbIL-12p35 tumor clone possessed systemic antitumor immunity to wild type tumor cells. The growth rate of mbIL-12p35 tumor cells was greater in CD8(+) T cell-depleted mice than in CD4(+) T-cell- and NK cell-depleted mice or normal mice, suggesting that CD8(+) T cells were mainly responsible for the antitumor immunity. These results indicate that expression of mbIL-12p35 on tumor cells enhances their immunogenicity by increasing their ability to activate CD8(+) T cells, possibly by direct priming.
