9 pp Anticancer Immunotherapy using Inactivated Sendai Virus Particles Masayuki KUROOKA, Yasufumi KANEDA Department of Virology, Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, 65 Tsurumai-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya , Japan Ultraviolet-inactivated, replication-defective Sendai virus particles (Hemagglutinating virus of Japan envelope, HVJ-E) injected into murine colon carcinoma (CT26) tumors growing in syngeneic Balb/c mice eradicated 60-80% of the tumors and obviously inhibited the growth of the remainder. Induced adaptive anti-tumor immune responses were dominant in the tumor eradication process because the effect was abrogated in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Murine and human dendritic cells (DCs) underwent dose-dependent maturation by HVJ-E in vitro. Profiles of cytokines secreted by DCs after HVJ-E stimulation showed that the amount of IL-6 released was comparable to that elicited by live HVJ. Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistory revealed that HVJ-E induced a remarkable infiltration of DCs, CD4 + and CD8 + T cells into tumors and CT26 specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were induced. On the other hand, conditioned medium from DCs stimulated by HVJ-E (H-DCCM) rescued CD4 + CD25 - effector T cell proliferation from Foxp3 + CD4 + CD25 + regulatory T cell (Treg) mediated suppression and IL-6 was presumably dominant for this phenomenon. We also confirmed such rescue in mice treated with HVJ-E in vivo. Moreover, anti-tumor effect of HVJ-E was significantly reduced by an in vivo blockade of IL-6 signaling. Depending on cancer cell types, it is also expected that HVJ-E eradicates tumor by its direct cytotoxity against cancer cells or activating NK cells. Because it can enhance anti-tumor immunity and simultaneously remove Treg mediated suppression, HVJ-E shows promise as a novel therapeutic for cancer immunotherapy.
