Hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein of newcastle disease virus is an important immunogen for oncolysis. We designed three different expression plasmids encoding the HN protein targeted to different subcellular compartments: cytoplasmic (Cy-HN), secreted (Sc-HN) and membrane-anchored (M-HN). On the basis of antitumor effect in vitro, the aim of this study is to investigate the anti-tumor immunity effect of HN protein in vivo.
In the present study, we developed a mouse model in order to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of the intratumorally injected modified HN proteins and the anti-tumor immunity by lymphocyte proliferative response and CTL activity test.
Although all three DNA constructs elicited an immune response, tumor-bearing mice intratumorally injected with M-HN demonstrated a significantly better anti-tumor effect than those injected with Cy-HN or Sc-HN (Day 18: P=0.022; Day 21: P<0.01). It also showed that this anti-tumor effect was mediated by higher lymphocyte proliferative response and CTL activity in mice intratumorally injected with M-HN [M-HN vs Cy-HN, P=0.019; M-HN vs Sc-HN, P=0.043; M-HN vs pcDNA3.1(+), P<0.01].
The anti-tumor immunity of Newcastle disease virus HN protein is influenced by differential subcellular targeting. The membrane-anchored form of the HN protein appears to be an ideal candidate to improve the specific cellular immunity.
新城疫病毒的血凝素 - 神经氨酸酶(HN)蛋白是一种重要的溶瘤免疫原。我们设计了三种不同的表达质粒,它们编码靶向不同亚细胞区室的HN蛋白:细胞质(Cy - HN)、分泌型(Sc - HN)和膜锚定型(M - HN)。基于体外抗肿瘤作用,本研究旨在探讨HN蛋白在体内的抗肿瘤免疫效果。
在本研究中,我们建立了一个小鼠模型,以通过淋巴细胞增殖反应和CTL活性测试来评估瘤内注射修饰后的HN蛋白的抗肿瘤效果及抗肿瘤免疫力。
尽管所有三种DNA构建体均引发了免疫反应,但瘤内注射M - HN的荷瘤小鼠显示出比注射Cy - HN或Sc - HN的小鼠显著更好的抗肿瘤效果(第18天:P = 0.022;第21天:P < 0.01)。这也表明,这种抗肿瘤效果是由瘤内注射M - HN的小鼠中更高的淋巴细胞增殖反应和CTL活性介导的[M - HN与Cy - HN比较,P = 0.019;M - HN与Sc - HN比较,P = 0.043;M - HN与pcDNA3.1(+)比较,P < 0.01]。
新城疫病毒HN蛋白的抗肿瘤免疫受到不同亚细胞靶向的影响。HN蛋白的膜锚定形式似乎是改善特异性细胞免疫的理想候选者。
