研究概要

STING 激动剂 2'3'-cGAMP 作为一种有效佐剂,可增强 HPV16 肽疫苗的治疗效果。这些发现表明其有潜力成为 HPV16 持续感染及相关恶性肿瘤的候选治疗药物。

研究思路结论见上方概要

佐剂对于增强疫苗免疫原性至关重要。环鸟苷酸-腺苷酸合成酶(cGAS)-干扰素基因刺激因子(STING)信号通路中的激动剂已在临床前模型中显示出强大的免疫激活作用。靶向高危型人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)E6和E7的T细胞表位的肽疫苗是一种有前景的免疫策略。为提高免疫原性,我们使用STING激动剂2'3'-cGAMP作为佐剂,并评估其增强免疫应答和抗肿瘤疗效的能力。

以2'3'-cGAMP为佐剂的HPV16 E7 43-77肽候选疫苗在不同初始肿瘤大小(直径2-3 mm和5-6 mm)的已建立TC-1肿瘤移植模型中的免疫原性和疗效进行了评估。荷瘤小鼠每周接受三次瘤周皮下疫苗接种。在体外和体内研究了其对肿瘤抑制、抗原特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)反应诱导及相关免疫机制的影响。

用2'3'-cGAMP佐剂的E7 43-77肽免疫显著抑制了肿瘤生长,并在CD8+细胞毒性T淋巴细胞中诱导了高水平干扰素(IFN)-γ和颗粒酶B。该疫苗还增强了自然杀伤(NK)细胞、树突状细胞(DCs)和M1型巨噬细胞的分化,减少了髓源性抑制细胞(MDSCs),增加了INF-β水平,并促进肿瘤免疫微环境(TME)中的淋巴细胞浸润和重塑。在机制上,2'3'-cGAMP通过激活肽负载DCs中的STING-TBK1-IRF3和STING-NF-κB通路,促进DC成熟,增强T细胞增殖和活化,并加强抗原特异性CTL反应。

Adjuvants are critical for enhancing vaccine immunogenicity. The agonists in cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway have demonstrated robust immune activation in preclinical models. Peptide vaccines targeting T cell epitopes of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 and E7 represent a promising immunization strategy. To improve immunogenicity, we utilized the STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP as an adjuvant and evaluated its ability to enhance immune responses and antitumor efficacy.

The immunogenicity and efficacy of a candidate vaccine, consisting of the HPV16 E7 43-77 peptide adjuvanted with 2'3'-cGAMP, were evaluated in established TC-1 tumor transplantation models with different initial tumor sizes (2-3 mm and 5-6 mm in diameter). Tumor-bearing mice received three weekly peritumoral subcutaneous vaccine doses. The effects on tumor suppression, antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response induction, and related immune mechanisms were investigated both in vitro and in vivo .

Immunization with the E7 43-77 peptide adjuvanted by 2'3'-cGAMP significantly suppressed tumor growth and elicited high levels of Interferon (IFN)-γ and Granzyme B in CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The vaccine also enhanced the differentiation of natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells (DCs), and M1-type macrophages, reduced Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and increased INF-β levels, as well as promote lymphocyte infiltration and remodeling in tumor immune microenvironment (TME). Mechanistically, 2'3'-cGAMP promoted DC maturation, enhanced T cell proliferation and activation, and strengthened antigen-specific CTL responses by activating the STING-TBK1-IRF3 and STING-NF-κB pathways in peptide-loaded DCs.

The STING agonist 2'3'-cGAMP serves as an effective adjuvant that enhances the therapeutic efficacy of an HPV16 peptide vaccine. These findings indicate its potential as a candidate therapeutic for HPV16 persistent infection and associated malignancies.
