    Abstract: Purpose: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an enzyme that degrades tryptophan, is a negative immune regulatory molecule of dendritic cells. IDO-expressing dendritic cells suppress T cell responses and may be immunosuppressive in vivo. We hypothesized that silencing the IDO expression in skin dendritic cells in vivo could elicit antitumor activity in tumor-draining lymph nodes. Experimental Design: The efficiency of IDO-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA) was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The therapeutic effect was evaluated in MBT-2 murine bladder tumor model and CT-26 colon tumor models. Results: IDO expression was down-regulated in CD11c-positive lymphocytes after IDO siRNA treatment. In vivo skin administration of IDO siRNA inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival in both tumor models. The number of infiltrated T cells and neutrophils increased at tumor sites, which are correlated with therapeutic efficacy. The T cells may be mainly responsible for the immunologic rejection because the effect was abolished by depletion of CD8-positive T cells. Adoptive transfer of CD11c-positive dendritic cells from vaccinated mice delayed tumor progression. The cancer therapeutic effect was reproducibly observed with another IDO siRNA targeting at different site, suggesting the effect was not due to off-target effect. In a neu-overexpressing MBT-2 tumor model, IDO siRNA enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of Her2/Neu DNA vaccine. Down-regulation of IDO2, an IDO homologue, with siRNA also generated antitumor immunity in vivo. Conclusions: Antitumor immunity can be effectively elicited by physical delivery of siRNAs targeting immunoregulatory genes in skin dendritic cells in vivo, as shown by IDO and IDO2 in this report.

    Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Activated by E6 Oncoprotein Is Required for Human Papillomavirus-16/18-Infected Lung Tumorigenesis
    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2008

    Abstract: Purpose: Our recent report indicates that human papillomavirus (HPV)-16/18 E6 oncoprotein is expressed in lung tumors and is related to p53 inactivation. We further explored whether human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) transcription is up-regulated by E6 and contributes to lung tumor development. Experimental Design: Immunohistochemistry detected HPV-16 E6 oncoprotein in 135 lung tumors, and hTERT mRNA was evaluated by real-time reverse transcription-PCR and in situ hybridization, respectively. A small RNA interference (RNAi), Western blotting, and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis were used to clarify whether hTERT transcription was regulated by c-Myc and Sp1. The telomerase activity and oncogenic potential of TL-1 with or without E6- or hTERT-RNAi was determined by real-time quantitative telomeric repeat amplification protocol analysis and soft-agar assay, respectively. Results: hTERT mRNA levels in E6-positive tumors, which were prevalent in females, nonsmokers, and adenocarcinomas, were significantly higher than in E6-negative tumors. In addition, hTERT mRNA levels in early tumors (stage I) were greater than levels in advanced tumors (stages II and III). Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that Sp1 cooperated with c-Myc to activate hTERT transcription in TL-1 cells, which was similar to the SiHa cells. The telomerase activity of the TL-1 cells decreased concomitantly with the transfection of various doses of E6- or hTERT-RNAi. A soft-agar assay showed that the oncogenic potential of TL-1 cells was significantly reduced after being transfected with E6-RNAi. Moreover, a colony of TL-1 cells could not form after transfection with hTERT-RNAi. Conclusion: Transcriptional activation of hTERT by E6 oncoprotein is required for HPV-16/18-infected lung tumorigenesis.

    Human Papillomavirus 16/18 E6 Oncoprotein Is Expressed in Lung Cancer and Related with p53 Inactivation
    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2007

    Abstract: Inactivation of p53 by human papillomavirus 16/18 E6 plays a crucial role in cervical tumorigenesis. To investigate the involvement of HPV16/18 in lung tumorigenesis, the association between HPV16 or HPV18 E6 and p53 protein expression in 122 lung tumors was evaluated by immunohistochemistry, and data showed that HPV16/18 E6 expression correlated inversely with p53 expression, which was further confirmed by tissue in situ immunostaining. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR analysis indicated that E6-positive tumors had lower p21WAF1/CIP1 and mdm2 mRNA levels than E6-negative tumors. To elucidate the role of E6 in p53 inactivation, we successfully established lung adenocarcinoma cell lines with or without HPV16 infection from patients' pleural effusions. Western blotting showed that E6 protein was indeed expressed in HPV16-infected cells and a lower level of p53 protein was observed in E6-positive cells compared with E6-negative cells. Moreover, the levels of p21WAF1/CIP1 and mdm2 mRNA in E6-positive cells were lower than in E6-negative cells. The interaction of E6 with p53 protein was revealed by immunoprecipitation assay showing that p53 could be inactivated by E6 protein. Conversely, p53 proteins and p21WAF1/CIP1 and mdm2 mRNA expressions were restored in E6-knockdown cells by RNA interference compared with control cells. These results reveal that HPV16/18 E6 may be partially involved in p53 inactivation to down-regulate p21WAF1/CIP1 and mdm2 transcription. In conclusion, HPV16/18 E6 is indeed expressed in HPV DNA–positive lung tumors and is involved in p53 inactivation to contributing to HPV-mediated lung tumorigenesis.
