一种靶向S100A8的五聚体重组多肽疫苗的构建及其抗肿瘤活性研究
Construction and anti-tumor efficacy of a pentameric peptide vaccine that targets S100A8

摘要: 骨髓来源的抑制性细胞(myeloid derived suppressor cell, MDSC)在肿瘤免疫逃逸中扮演着重要的角色,普遍认为清除MDSC将有助于阻止肿瘤的生长。因此,本研究以霍乱毒素B亚基(CTB)五聚体为载体构建了一种靶向小鼠MDSC表面标识蛋白S100A8的重组多肽疫苗CTB-S100A8,并在大肠杆菌分泌表达系统中获得表达。经纯化后的重组CTB-S100A8五聚体蛋白辅以氢氧化铝佐剂免疫小鼠后能打破自身免疫耐受产生高滴度的S100A8抗体。在4T1小鼠乳腺癌肿瘤模型中, CTB-S100A8疫苗能够有效阻止肿瘤生长,并减少外周血中肿瘤诱导的单核细胞来源的MDSC。而正常的髓系来源MDSC、树突状细胞和巨噬细胞不受其影响。研究表明, CTB-S100A8是一种良好的靶向肿瘤诱导的MDSC的重组疫苗,具有较大的临床应用潜力。Abstract: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) play critical roles in immune escape of tumor. We hypothesized that elimination of tumor-induced MDSCs might help to block tumor growth. Therefore, we constructed a cholera toxin B based peptide vaccine that targets a MDSC surface marker S100A8. Immunized BALB/c mice with CTB-S100A8 plus aluminum hydroxide induced high titers of anti-S100A8 antibodies and reduced tumor burden significantly in 4T1 mice model. We also found the vaccination led to significant reduction of tumor-induced monocytic MDSC (M-MDSC), with no effect on innate MDSCs, dendritic cell (DC) and macrophage (Mφ), demonstrating that targeting tumor-induced MDSC may be a promising approach in cancer immunotherapy.
