Very small size proteoliposomes (VSSP) constitute a complex of very small size proteoliposomes that includes proteins, lipids, CpG and gangliosides tumor-associated that provides a potential target for cancer immunotherapy. This compound has been described to stimulate the humoral and cellular response, dendritic cells (DC) activation and differentiation of T-helper cells, specially, in immunocompromised patients with cancer status. This work deals with the stimulating capacity of the VSSP to reach a humoral response when they are used as a component in a peptidic vaccine based on the gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH). This study was carried out in male Copenhagen rats, which were immunized with 750μg of the GnRH mimetic peptide (GnRHm1-TT) with or without the VSSP. The mixtures were always emulsified with the oil adjuvant Montanide ISA 51. The anti GnRH seroconversion analysis revealed that the group immunized with the peptide GnRHm1-TT/VSSP developed a strong anti GnRH seroconversion. These antibody levels proved to be significant superior to those reached by the use of the GnRHm1-TT peptide solely emulsified in Montanide. Post-mortem analysis on the Testosterone ablation target organs (prostate and testicles) yielded a sudden decrease in their size and weight in respect to the control group. On the other hand, the group submitted to the use of GnRHm1-TT/VSSP, showed a significant difference in the reduction of these target organs in comparison with the group only immunized with GnRHm1-TT adjuvated in Montanide ISA 51. These values turned to be of p=0.023 and p=0.009 in the prostate and testicles respectively. These findings foreground the VSSP as a useful immunopotentiator to be used as part of a GnRH based vaccine to treat prostate cancer.
非常小的尺寸脂蛋白体(VSSP)构成了一个非常小的尺寸脂蛋白体的复合物,其中包括蛋白质、脂质、CpG 和神经节苷脂肿瘤相关,为癌症免疫治疗提供了一个潜在的靶点。该化合物已被描述为刺激体液和细胞反应、树突状细胞(DC)的激活和 T 辅助细胞的分化,特别是在患有癌症状态的免疫功能低下的患者中。这项工作涉及到 VSSP 的刺激能力,当它们作为基于促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)的肽疫苗的一部分使用时,能够达到体液反应。这项研究是在雄性哥本哈根大鼠中进行的,这些大鼠用 750μg 的 GnRH 模拟肽(GnRHm1-TT)和/或 VSSP 进行免疫。混合物总是用油佐剂 Montanide ISA 51 乳化。抗 GnRH 血清转化分析显示,用 GnRHm1-TT/VSSP 免疫的大鼠组产生了强烈的抗 GnRH 血清转化。这些抗体水平被证明明显优于单独用 GnRHm1-TT 肽在 Montanide 中乳化的那些。对睾酮消融靶器官(前列腺和睾丸)的死后分析表明,与对照组相比,它们的大小和重量突然下降。另一方面,与仅用 GnRHm1-TT 免疫的大鼠相比,使用 GnRHm1-TT/VSSP 的大鼠这些靶器官的减少有显著差异,Montanide ISA 51 佐剂。这些值分别为前列腺和睾丸 p=0.023 和 p=0.009。这些发现强调了 VSSP 作为一种有用的免疫增强剂,可作为基于 GnRH 的疫苗的一部分,用于治疗前列腺癌。
