The epithelial mucin MUC1 is overexpressed on many epithelial malignancies as well as on some B-cell lymphomas and multiple myelomas. In the present study, we described MUC1 expression also on primary AML blasts. To analyze the presentation of MUC1-derived HLA-A2 restricted peptides by primary AML blasts, we induced MUC1-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) in vitro using peptide pulsed dendritic cells from HLA-A2+ healthy donors as antigen-presenting cells. These CTLs efficiently lysed primary AML blasts that constitutively expressed both MUC1 and HLA-A2. The specificity of the CTLs was confirmed in a cold target inhibition assay. Our data demonstrate that MUC1-derived peptides are tumor antigens in AML which could potentially be used for immunotherapeutic approaches.
上皮粘蛋白MUC1在许多上皮恶性肿瘤以及一些B细胞淋巴瘤和多发性骨髓瘤中过表达。在本研究中,我们还描述了MUC1在原发性急性髓系白血病(AML)原始细胞上的表达。为了分析原发性AML原始细胞对MUC1衍生的HLA - A2限制性肽的呈递情况,我们使用来自HLA - A2 +健康供体的肽脉冲树突状细胞作为抗原呈递细胞,在体外诱导产生MUC1特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)。这些CTL有效地裂解了组成性表达MUC1和HLA - A2的原发性AML原始细胞。在冷靶抑制试验中证实了CTL的特异性。我们的数据表明,MUC1衍生的肽是AML中的肿瘤抗原,有可能用于免疫治疗方法。
