Abstract

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the combination of two modalities of immunotherapy, targeting two different tumor antigens, may be feasible and non‑toxic, yet enhance the killing of a human breast cancer cell line. The first modality was tumor growth factor α‑Pseudomonas exotoxin 38 (TGFα‑PE38), which specifically targets and kills tumor cells that express the epidermal growth factor receptor. The second modality was mucin‑1 (MUC1)‑specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), generated by MUC1 stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, to target the human breast cancer cell line, MCF7. TGFα‑PE38 exhibited specific lysis of the MCF7 cells in a concentration‑ and time‑dependent manner. TGFα‑PE38 did not kill the normal hematopoietic stem cells or CTLs. Furthermore, TGFα‑PE38 was not inhibitory for the growth or differentiation of the normal human hematopoietic stem cells into erythroid and myeloid colonies. In addition, TGFα‑PE38 did not inhibit the killing function of CTLs, either when preincubated or co‑incubated with CTLs. Finally, therapeutic enhancement was observed, in that TGFα‑PE38 and CTLs were additive in the specific lysis of the MCF7 cells. These two modalities of immunotherapy may be beneficial for humans with breast cancer with or without other therapies, including autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, specifically for purging cancer cells from hematopoietic stem cells prior to transplantation.
