Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent inducers of T cell immunity, and autologous DC vaccination holds promise for the treatment of cancers and chronic infectious diseases. In practice, however, therapeutic vaccines of this type have had mixed success. In this article, we show that brief exposure to inhibitors of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) in DCs during the period that they are responding to TLR agonists makes them particularly potent activators of naive CD8+ T cells and able to enhance control of B16 melanoma in a therapeutic autologous vaccination model in the mouse. The improved performance of DCs in which mTOR has been inhibited is correlated with an extended life span after activation and prolonged, increased expression of costimulatory molecules. Therapeutic autologous vaccination with DCs treated with TLR agonists plus the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin results in improved generation of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells in vivo and improved antitumor immunity compared with that observed with DCs treated with TLR agonists alone. These findings define mTOR as a molecular target for augmenting DC survival and activation, and document a novel pharmacologic approach for enhancing the efficacy of therapeutic autologous DC vaccination.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
