Tóm tắt

Chaperone Hsp70 can activate adaptive immunity suggesting its possible application as an antitumor vaccine. To assess the therapeutic capacity of Hsp70 we administered purified chaperone into a C6 glioblastoma brain tumor and explored the viability and tumor size as well as interferon gamma (IFNγ) production and cytotoxicity of lymphocytes in the treated animals. Targeted intratumoral injection of Hsp70 resulted in its distribution within the area of glioblastoma, and caused significant inhibition of tumor progression as confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. The delay in tumor growth corresponded to the prolonged survival of tumor‐bearing animals of up to 31 days versus 20 days in control. Continuous administration of Hsp70 with an osmotic pump increased survival even further (39 days). Therapeutic efficacy was associated with infiltration to glioblastoma of NK cells (Ly‐6c+) and T lymphocytes (CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+) as well as with an increase in the activity of NK cells (granzyme B production) and CD8+ T lymphocytes as shown by IFNγ ELISPOT assay. Furthermore, we found that Hsp70 treatment caused concomitantly, with a tenfold elevated IFNγ production, an increase in anti‐C6 tumor cytotoxicity of lymphocytes. In conclusion, continuous intratumoral delivery of Hsp70 demonstrates high therapeutic potential and therefore could be applied in the treatment of glioblastoma.
