Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) are being explored as a therapeutic vaccine for cancers. However, their immunogenic potential is limited by the presence of immunosuppressive factors. Among these factors is the tryptophan-degrading enzyme indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). In this study, we have investigated the safety, immunogenicity and clinical response of IDO-silenced DC vaccine in four patients with gynecological cancers. DCs were transfected with IDO small interfering RNA and mRNA encoding human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) or survivin, two universal tumour antigens. Silencing of IDO in DCs did not affect the expression of the co-stimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86, but enhanced the expression of the CCR7 and CD40 molecules. IDO-silenced DCs showed superior potency to activate allogeneic T cells compared to their IDO-positive counterparts. The immunisation with this novel DC cancer vaccine was well tolerated and all patients developed delayed-type hypersensitivity skin reaction and specific T-cell response against hTERT and survivin tumour antigens. Perhaps most importantly, the immune response seen in the patients was related to objective clinical response. Thus, IDO silencing can enhance the immunogenic function of DCs in vitro and in vivo. Overall, the data provide proof-of-principle that immunisation with IDO-silenced DC vaccine is safe and effective in inducing antitumour immunity.
