LID - 10.3390/vaccines10071092 [doi] LID - 1092 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs), as professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), play a key role in the initiation and regulation of humoral and cellular immunity. DC vaccines loaded with different tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) have been widely used to study their therapeutic effects on cancer. A number of clinical trials have shown that DCs are safe as an antitumor vaccine and can activate certain anti-tumor immune responses; however, the overall clinical efficacy of DC vaccine is not satisfactory, so its efficacy needs to be enhanced. MUC1 is a TAA with great potential, and the immune checkpoint PD-L1 also has great potential for tumor treatment. Both of them are highly expressed on the surface of various tumors. In this study, we generated a novel therapeutic MUC1-Vax tumor vaccine based on the method of PD-L1-Vax vaccine we recently developed; this novel PD-L1-containing MUC1-Vax vaccine demonstrated an elevated persistent anti-PD-L1 antibody production and elicited a much stronger protective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response in immunized mice. Furthermore, the MUC1-Vax vaccine exhibited a significant therapeutic anti-tumor effect, which significantly inhibited tumor growth by expressing a high MUC1(+) and PD-L1(+) level of LLC and Panc02 tumor cells, and prolonged the survival of cancer-bearing animals. Taken together, our study provides a new immunotherapy strategy for improving the cross-presentation ability of therapeutic vaccine, which may be applicable to pancreatic cancer, lung cancer and for targeting other types of solid tumors that highly express MUC1 and PD-L1.
