Background: It is well known that both heat shock protein (HSP) and Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 agonist polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)) are capable of promoting the antigen-specific immune responses. In the current study, we assessed whether the anti-tumor effects of the HPV16E7(49-57)-based vaccine can be elevated by combined applications of poly(I:C) and oxygen-regulated protein 150 (ORP150) in a mouse cervical cancer model. Methods: Recombinant mouse ORP150 and HPV E7(49-57) peptide were combined to passively form the ORP150-E7(49-57) complex under heat shock conditions. The effects of ORP150-E7(49-57) complex plus poly(I:C) adjuvant on lymphocyte proliferation and functional cytotoxic T cells were investigated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT), ELISPOT, and non-radioactive cytotoxicity assays. Finally, the complex's therapeutic anti-tumor effects with and without adjuvant therapy were observed in a tumor challenge experiment. Results: This combination vaccine approach significantly enhanced the proliferation of splenocytes and induced strong E7(49-57)-specific CTL responses. More importantly, the ORP150-E7(49-57) complex plus poly(I:C) vaccine format demonstrated more potent anti-tumor effects than ORP150-E7(49-57) complex alone or E7(49-57) plus poly(I:C) in TC-1 tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion: Both poly(I:C) and ORP150 chaperone can synergistically enhance the anti-tumor effects of the HPV16E7(49-57)-based vaccine in vitro and in vivo. This strategy provides a platform for the design of a tumor therapeutic vaccine capable of inducing an effective anti-tumor immune response. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
