Abstract

Pancreatic cancer involves highly malignant tumors, and the development of new therapeutic strategies is critical. Mesothelin is overexpressed in infiltrating pancreatic cancer cells and plays an important role in the invasion and migration processes. In this study, we focused on mesothelin as a tumor-specific antigen target for a pancreatic cancer vaccine. We first investigated the mesothelin-derived epitope peptide restricted to HLA-A*2402. A total of 19 candidate peptides were synthesized, and we then determined their potential to induce peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Peptide-specific CTLs were induced by five peptides derived from mesothelin, and these CTLs successfully exhibited peptide-specific IFN-γ production. After the expansion of each CTL, two CTL lines were established, which were induced by mesothelin-10-5 peptide (AFYPGYLCSL). These CTL lines exhibited peptide-specific cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production. Moreover, we were able to generate mesothelin-10-5 peptide-specific CTL clones. These CTL clones also had specific cytotoxic activity against HLA-A*2402-positive pancreatic cancer cells that endogenously expressed mesothelin. These results indicate that the mesothelin-10-5 peptide is a novel HLA-A...Continue Reading

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer vaccines are vaccines that either treat existing cancer or prevent development of a cancer.
