Abstract:
:Genetic immunization of mice with dendritic cells (DCs) engineered to express a melanoma antigen generates antigen-specific, MHC-restricted, CD4-dependent protective immune responses. We wanted to determine the role of CD4 cells and CD40 ligation of MART-1 gene-modified DC in an animal model of immunotherapy for murine melanoma. CD4 knock-out (CD4KO) or antibody-depleted mice were immunized with DC adenovirally transduced with the MART-1 gene (AdVMART1/DC) with or without CD40 cross-linking. Tumor protection was absent in CD4-depleted mice, but protection was reestablished when the CD40 receptor was engaged using three different constructs. Transduction of DCs with vectors expressing the Th1 cytokines interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7, or IL-12 could not reproduce the CD40-mediated maturation signal in this model. CD8 T-cell depletion in CD4KO mice immunized with CD40-ligated DCs abrogated the protective response. Pooled analysis of CD40 cross-linking of AdVMART1/DC administered to wild-type C57BL/6 mice revealed an overall enhancement of antitumor immunity. However, this effect was inconsistent between replicate studies. In conclusion, maturation of AdVMART1-transduced DCs through the CD40 ligation pathway can promote a protective CD8 T-cell-mediated immunity that is independent of CD4 T-cell help.
