PG - 4898-907 LID - 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-07-4899 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Hypochlorous acid, a product of neutrophil myeloperoxidase, is a powerful enhancer of antigen processing and presentation. In this study, we examine whether ovarian epithelial cells (SK-OV-3) exposed to hypochlorous acid can stimulate T cells from patients with ovarian epithelial cancer that recognize common tumor antigens as well as autologous tumor. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: T cells from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2(+) and HLA-A2(-) patients or healthy controls were stimulated with autologous dendritic cells cocultured with the generic ovarian tumor line SK-OV-3, previously exposed to hypochlorous acid. RESULTS: Hypochlorous acid-treated SK-OV-3 cells drove expansion of CD8(+) T cells from HLA-A2(+) individuals, which recognized the HLA-A2-restricted tumor antigen epitopes of HER-2/neu (E75 and GP2) and MUC1 (M1.1 and M1.2). Up to 4.1% of the T cells were positive for the HER-2/neu KIFGSLAFL epitope using pentamer staining. Dendritic cells loaded with oxidized SK-OV-3 cells and further matured with CD40 agonistic antibody or monophosphoryl lipid A additionally induced CD4(+) class II-restricted responses. Critically, T cells stimulated with mature oxidized SK-OV-3 (but not a control oxidized melanoma cell line) directly recognized autologous tumor cells isolated from patient ascites. CONCLUSIONS: Immunization with mature dendritic cells loaded with a generic oxidized tumor cell line stimulates a polyclonal antitumor response that recognizes autologous tumor. These findings suggest a new immunotherapeutic strategy to extend remission in ovarian cancer.
