摘要:: Establishment of an immune response against cancer may depend on the capacity of dendritic cells to transfer tumor Ags into T cell-rich areas. To check this possibility, we used a colon cancer cell variant that yields tumors undergoing complete T cell-dependent rejection when injected into syngeneic rats. We previously demonstrated that immunogenicity of these tumors depended on the early apoptosis of a part of these tumor cells. In this paper we show that fluorescent tumor cell proteins are released from FITC-labeled tumor cells and undergo engulfment by tumor-infiltrating monocytes without a phenotype of mature dendritic cells or macrophages. Fluorescence-labeled mononuclear cells with a phenotype of MHC class II+ dendritic cells are also found in the T cell areas of the draining lymph nodes. Interestingly, no fluorescent cell can be found in lymph nodes after a s.c. injection of Bcl2-transfected apoptosis-resistant tumor cells that yielded progressive tumors. Proliferation of tumor-immune T lymphocytes was induced by dendritic cells isolated from the draining lymph nodes recovered after a s.c. injection of apoptosis-sensitive, but not apoptosis-resistant, tumor cells. These results show that tumor cell apoptosis releases proteins that are engulfed by inflammatory cells in the tumor, then transported to lymph node T cell areas where they can induce a specific immune response leading to tumor rejection.
