چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based vaccines in breaking immunotolerance to cancer-associated self-antigens. Vaccination of mice bearing melanoma B16 tumors with PLGA nanoparticles (NP) co-encapsulating the poorly immunogenic melanoma antigen, tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP2), along with Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand (7-acyl lipid A) was examined. Remarkably, this vaccine was able to induce therapeutic anti-tumor effect. Activated TRP2-specific CD8 T cells were capable of interferon (IFN)-gamma secretion at lymph nodes and spleens of the vaccinated mice. More importantly, TRP2/7-acyl lipid A-NP treated group has shown immunostimulatory milieu at the tumor microenvironment, as evidenced by increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines compared to control group. These results support the potential use of PLGA nanoparticles as competent carriers for future cancer vaccine formulations.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent professional antigen-presenting cells that are capable of initiating a primary immune response and activating T cells, and they play a pivotal role in the immune responses of the host to cancer. Prior to antigen presentation, efficient antigen and adjuvant uptake by DCs is necessary to induce their maturation and cytokine generation. Nanoparticles (NPs) are capa...

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a crucial role in the innate immune system and contribute to host defense against microbial infection. PRR-mediated antimicrobial signals provide robust type-I IFN/cytokine production and trigger inflammation, thereby affecting tumor progression and autoimmune diseases. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that among the PRRs, only the signaling pathway o...

PROBLEM Dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer therapies are favored approaches to stimulate anti-tumor T-cell responses. Unfortunately, tolerance to tumor antigens is difficult to overcome. Biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NP) are effective reagents in the delivery of drugs and tumor-associated antigens (TAA). In this study, we assessed the capacity of a PLGA NP-base...
متن کاملVaccination with recombinant fusion proteins incorporating Toll-like receptor ligands induces rapid cellular and humoral immunity.
Recognition of specific pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) is mediated primarily by members of the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family. Stimulation through these receptors results in quantitative and qualitative changes in antigen presentation and cellular activation, thereby linking innate and adaptive immunity. Consequently, the incorporation of TLR-ligands into vaccines could result ...
