Dendritic cells ( DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells and acquire cellular antigens and danger signals from dying cells to initiate antitumor immune responses via direct cell- to- cell interaction and cytokine production. The optimal forms of tumor cell death for priming DCs for the release of danger signals are not fully understood. OBP- 301 ( Telomelysin) is a telomerase-specific replication- competent adenovirus that induces selective E1 expression and exclusively kills human cancer cells. Here, we show that OBP- 301 replication produced the endogenous danger signaling molecule, uric acid, in infected human tumor cells, which in turn stimulated DCs to produce interferon-gamma ( IFN-gamma) and interleukin 12 ( IL- 12). Subsequently, IFN-gamma release upregulated the endogenous expression of the proteasome activator PA28 in tumor cells and resulted in the induction of cytotoxic T- lymphocytes. Our data suggest that virus- mediated oncolysis might be the effective stimulus for immature DCs to induce specific activity against human cancer cells.

The use of replication-selective tumor-specific viruses represents a novel approach for the treatment of neoplastic disease. We constructed an attenuated adenovirus, telomerase-specific replication-selective adenovirus (TRAD), in which the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter element drives the expression of the E1A and E1B genes linked with an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Forty-eight hours after TRAD infection at a multiplicity of infection of 1.0, the cell viability of H1299 human lung cancer cells was consistently less than 50% and therefore this procedure could be used as a potency assay to assess the biological activity of TRAD. We also established a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with consensus primers for either the adenovirus E1A or IRES sequence. The linear ranges of quantitation with E1A and IRES primers were 10(3)-10(8) and 10(2)-10(8) plaque-forming units/mL in the plasma, respectively. The PCR analysis demonstrated that the levels of E1A in normal tissues were more than 10(3) lower than in the tumors of A549 human lung tumor xenografts in nu/n mu mice at 28 days after intratumoral injection. Our results suggest that the cell-killing assay against H1299 cells and real-time PCR can be used to assess the biological activity and biodistribution of TRAD in clinical trials.

Replication-selective tumor-specific viruses present a novel approach for treatment of neoplastic disease. These vectors are designed to induce virus-mediated lysis of tumor cells after selective viral propagation within the tumor. Telomerase activation is considered to be a critical step in carcinogenesis and its activity correlates closely with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression. Since only tumor cells that express telomerase activity would activate this promoter, the hTERT proximal promoter allows for preferential expression of viral genes in tumor cells, leading to selective viral replication. We constructed an attenuated adenovirus 5 vector (Telomelysin, OBP-301), in which the hTERT promoter element drives expression of E1A and E1B genes linked with an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Telomelysin replicated efficiently and induced marked cell killing in a panel of human cancer cell lines, whereas replication as well as cytotoxicity was highly attenuated in normal human cells lacking telomerase activity. We further modified the E3 region of OBP-301 to contain green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene for monitoring viral replication (TelomeScan, OBP-401). When TelomeScan was intratumorally injected into human tumors orthotopically implanted into the rectum in mice, para-aortic lymph node metastasis could be visualized at laparotomy under a three-chip color cooled charged-coupled device camera. Our results indicate that TelomeScan causes viral spread into the regional lymphatic area and selectively replicates in neoplastic lesions, resulting in GFP expression in metastatic lymph nodes. This article reviews recent highlights in this rapidly evolving field: cancer therapeutic and cancer diagnostic approaches using the telomerase-specific oncolytic adenoviruses.

Knock down of hSNF5/Ini1 causes cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner

hSNF5/Inil is a core component of the SWI/SNF complex and the gene is frequently mutated in aggressive pediatric rhabdoid tumors. Mechanisms of the malignant transformation, however, remain poorly understood. We analyzed HeLa cells treated with siRNA to the hSNF5/Inil mRNA. The resulting efficient and long-term suppression caused characteristic cell enlargement, cell cycle arrest in G1 phase, and subsequent modest apoptosis. Gene expression profiling of the hSNF5-down-regulated cells by cDNA microarray analysis revealed that a limited number of p53-responsive genes, especially p21, were up-regulated. The p53 protein level was also greatly enhanced, suggesting that loss of hSNF5/Inil induces a p53 signaling pathway irrelevant to the chk1/2 phosphorylation pathway. Some rhabdoid tumors with very low or no ARF expression were induced to undergo cell enlargement, growth arrest, and, in one case, apoptosis by ectopic expression of the p14ARF protein. These results may in part account for molecular mechanisms of rhabdoid tumor formation. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Clonality and heterogeneity of pulmonary blastoma from the viewpoint of genetic alterations: A case report

Kenji Takahashi, Takashi Kohno, Shingo Matsumoto, Yukihiro Nakanishi, Yasuhito Arai, Toshiyoshi Fujiwara, Noriaki Tanaka, Jun Yokota

LUNG CANCER 57 ( 1 ) 103 - 108 2007.7

Language：English Publisher：ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD

Biphasic pulmonary blastoma is a rare lung tumor with epithelia[ and mesenchymal components. Genetic alterations in this tumor are largely unknown, except for the presence of beta-catenin and p53 mutations and the absence of KRAS mutation. To understand the molecular process of histogenesis of this tumor, a whole genome allelic imbalance (Al) scanning using a high-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism array as well as mutational analysis of the p53, EGFR, KRAS and beta-catenin genes were performed against the epithelial and mesenchymal components in the primary tumor and a metastatic tumor in a case of pulmonary blastoma. Al at chromosome regions 14q24-q32 and 17p11-p13 and beta-catenin mutation were commonly detected in all tumors. On the other hand, Al at chromosome regions 3p11-p14 and 9p21-p24 and p53 mutation were detected only in the mesenchymal component in the primary tumor but not in the epithelial component in the primary tumor and the brain metastasis. Likewise, Al at chromosome regions 6p24-p25 and 6q14-q27 was detected in the epithelial. component in the primary tumor and the brain metastasis but not in the mesenchymal component in the primary tumor. Furthermore, the genetic alterations detected in the metastatic tumor were completely the same as those in the epithelial component in the primary tumor, indicating that a tumor cell(s) in the epithelial component in the primary tumor selectively metastasized to the brain. These results indicate that this biphasic tumor is of monoclonal origin and the phenotypic heterogeneity of the tumor is due to the differences in the accumulated genetic alterations in each component of the tumor.

Language：English Publisher：BLACKWELL PUBLISHING

The aim of the present study was to investigate the safety and immunological responses of personalized peptide vaccination in combination with oral administration of a 5-fluorouracil derivative (TS-1) in advanced gastric or colorectal carcinoma patients. Eleven patients (four with gastric cancer and seven with colorectal cancer) who failed to improve by prior TS-1-based chemotherapies were enrolled in this study. Peptides to be administered to patients were determined based on the presence of peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) precursors in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and peptide-specific IgG in the plasma of cancer patients. Patients were vaccinated with peptides (a maximum of four) biweekly in combination with or without three different doses of TS-1 (20, 40 and 80 mg/m(2)/day). Although grade 3 toxicity, including anemia (one patient) and neutropenia (one patient) were observed, the combination therapy was generally well tolerated. An increase in peptide-specific IgG after the sixth vaccination was observed in the vast majority of patients irrespective of the dose of TS-1 used. In contrast, an increase in peptide-specific interferon-gamma production by CTL was most evident in patients who were administered the highest dose of TS-1. Furthermore, in the patients who received 80 mg/m(2)/day TS-1, CTL-mediated cytotoxicity against cancer cells was maintained at the prevaccination level. These results indicate that administration of the standard dose (80 mg/m(2)/day) of TS-1 in combination with a personalized peptide vaccination does not necessarily impede immunological responses in cancer patients, and could actually maintain or augment them.
