γ-Ray irradiation induces B7.1 costimulatory molecule neoexpression in various murine tumor cells

Abstract: The use of gene-modified tumor cells as a strategy for active immunotherapy is currently undergoing intensive fundamental and clinical research. Most clinical trials use gamma-ray-irradiated tumor cells as vaccine, although little is known about the effects of irradiation on the immunogenicity of tumor cells. In particular, no data have been reported so far concerning the effects of gamma-ray irradiation on the expression of B7 molecules in tumor cells. In this paper, we show a neoexpression of the B7.1 molecu… Show more

“…A processed form of CD74 has been identified as a secreted factor that inhibits IL-2 production by activated T cells (22). The ability of CD28 signaling to reciprocally regulate antiproliferative and stimulatory genes (e.g., repression of BCL6 and induction of IL-2) suggests that multiple mechanisms function in concert to limit T cell proliferation in the absence of a costimulatory signal delivered by a professional antigen-presenting cell or encountered in the context of a potential threat or stress (23).…”

“…14,15 Thus, irradiation profoundly alters the pattern of expression of transduced and untransduced cells. In our experiments, enhancement of expression occurred with a reporter gene and genes with potential therapeutic interest in acute leukemia including secreted (GM-CSF) and cell surface molecules (CD80).…”

“…Cells were also exposed to oxidative stress and heat shock as previously described. 14,15 Briefly H 2 O 2 was added to cultured medium at 1 mM final concentration and cells were further incubated for 18 h before transgene expression analysis. In some experiments, N-acetyl-cystein (NAC) was added at 25 mM 1 h before irradiation or oxidative stress induction to ensure inhibition of NF-kB activation.…”

“…Moreover, ␥-irradiation was reported to up-regulate B7-1 surface expression on primary cultures of human acute myeloid leukemic cell samples (29). Subsequent attempts to mimic the effect of ␥-irradiation on B7-1 surface expression with H 2 O 2 revealed that while exposure of the murine AT3F hepatoma to ␥-irradiation resulted in a profound elevation in B7-1 mRNA and surface expression, exposure of these tumor cells for 60 min to H 2 O 2 at a concentration of 2 mM, but not 1 mM, resulted in a slight elevation in B7-1 mRNA and surface expression (27). In contrast, exposure of the murine DA13b myeloid leukemic cell line for 60 min to 1 mM H 2 O 2 (the only conditions reported) resulted in a substantial elevation in B7-1 surface expression, although not as profound as following exposure to 25 Gy ␥-irradiation (29).…”

“…We (15), as well as others (27,29,44), have recently shown that B7-1 surface expression can be selectively up-regulated on several different murine tumor cell lines, by exposing the tumor cells to a different anticancer modality, i.e., ␥-irradiation. Moreover, ␥-irradiation was reported to up-regulate B7-1 surface expression on primary cultures of human acute myeloid leukemic cell samples (29).…”
