Replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus (Ad) encoding human
gp100 or MART-1 melanoma Ag was used to transduce human dendritic cells
(DC) ex vivo as a model system for cancer vaccine therapy. A second
generation E1/E4 region deleted Ad which harbors the CMV
immediate-early promoter/enhancer and a unique E4-ORF6/pIX chimeric
gene was employed as the backbone vector. We demonstrate that human
monocyte-derived DC are permissive to Ad infection at multiplicity of
infection between 100 and 500 and occurs independent of the coxsackie
Ad receptor. Fluorescent-labeled Ad was used to assess the kinetics and
distribution of viral vector within DC. Ad-transduced DC show peak
transgene expression at 2448 h and expression remains detectable for
at least 7 days. DC transduced with replication-deficient Ad do not
exhibit any unusual phenotypic characteristics or cytopathic effects.
DC transduced with Ad2/gp100v2 can elicit tumor-specific CTL in vitro
from patients bearing gp100+ metastatic melanoma. Using a
panel of gp100-derived synthetic peptides, we show that
Ad2/gp100v2-transduced DC elicit Ag-specific CTL that recognize only
the G209 and G280 epitopes, both of which display relatively short
half-lives (
78 h) on the surface of HLA-A*0201+ cells.
Thus, patients with metastatic melanoma are not tolerant to gp100 Ag
based on the detection of CD8+ T cells specific for
multiple HLA-A*0201-restricted, gp100-derived
epitopes.
