Hyaluronic acid-supported combination of water insoluble immunostimulatory compounds for anti-cancer immunotherapy.
A novel powder-form combination adjuvant system containing two immunostimulatory compounds was firstly developed and evaluated as a therapeutic intervention for cancer immunotherapy. With the help of hyaluronic acid (HA), water insoluble monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), QS21 and imiquimod (R837), could be easily dispersed in aqueous solution and lyophilized as powder-form, which have an advantage in room-temperature storage stability compared with those conventional liquid formulation that requires cold storage. Two kinds of HA-based combination vaccine adjuvants (HA/MPL/QS21, HMQ and HA/MPL/R837, HMR) contributed to the increase of both humoral and cellular immunity, which is very important for efficient cancer immunotherapy. Through the challenge experiments in EG7-OVA (mouse lymphoma-expressing OVA) tumor-bearing mice model, we found out that the immunostimulatory effects of HMQ and HMR were successful in the inhibition of tumor proliferation. Taken together, both HA-based powder-form combination adjuvant systems are expected to be used as potent prophylactic and therapeutic cancer vaccine.

Inhibition of multidrug resistance by immunisation with synthetic P-glycoprotein-derived peptides.
Overexpression of the membrane glycoprotein (P170) represents the most common multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanism in cancer therapy. Specific auto-antibodies to extracellular loops 1, 2 and 4 of murine P170 were elicited in mice using palmitoylated synthetic peptides reconstituted in liposomes, with or without Lipid A, and resuspended in alum. IgM antibodies were detected 14 days following the first injection and IgG1 became predominant after the third challenge. Animals did not show any auto-immune symptoms or induced toxicity up to 18 months after the immunisation. Previous immunisations of mice using liposomes with MDR1 peptides increases the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments with doxorubicin and vinblastine against P388 R cells with increase of 77% in the survival half time in the immunised group. Sera from the immunised mice were also effective in reducing cellular resistance to vinblastine and doxorubicin in vitro. Taken together, these data suggest that this immunisation approach might have potential clinical applications.

DT-5461, a new synthetic lipid A analogue, inhibits lung and liver metastasis of tumor in mice.
We have investigated the antimetastatic effect of a new synthetic lipid A analogue, of low endotoxicity, DT-5461, against two highly metastatic tumor cell lines, L5178Y-ML25 T-lymphoma and B16-BL6 melanoma cells in mice. Four intermittent i.v. administrations of DT-5461 at intervals of 4 days resulted in a significant inhibition of liver metastasis caused by i.v. injection of L5178Y-ML25 cells and lung metastasis of B16-BL6 cells in the experimental metastasis models. Intraperitoneal and intranasal administrations as well as i.v. administration of DT-5461 were also effective in preventing lung metastasis of the melanoma cells. Multiple administrations of DT-5461 before the surgical excision of primary tumors significantly reduced the number of lung colonies of melanoma cells and primary tumor size. Similarly, this treatment modality after the surgical excision of primary tumors showed a greater reduction of lung tumor colonies as compared with lipopolysaccharide, a synthetic lipid A (No. 506) and its analogue as well as untreated control in the spontaneous lung metastasis model. Furthermore, the group that received DT-5461 after the inoculation of lymphoma or melanoma cells showed significantly enhanced survival rate compared with the untreated control. These results suggested that DT-5461 may be therapeutically useful for the inhibition of tumor metastasis.

Demonstration of lipid A-binding proteins on murine lymphoma cells using R-mutant gram-negative bacteria as a detector.
Some R-mutant Escherichia coli and Salmonella heavily adhered to murine lymphoma cells of B cell and T cell lineages. This adhesion was primarily mediated by membrane-localized proteins on tumor cells, which bind the polymyxin B-reactive hydrophilic structure of lipis A on bacteria. SDS-PAGE analysis of tumor cell membranes showed that proteins or glycoproteins of MW = around 45Kd, 25-35Kd and around 15Kd preferentially bind lipid A. Various lymphoma cell lines binding the bacteria at different levels possessed lipid A-binding proteins of slightly different compositions. We conclude that lymphoma cells carry not a single but a group of lipid A-binding proteins in their membranes.

Induction of kappa light chain synthesis in 70Z/3 B lymphoma cells by chemically defined lipid A precursors.
The murine B cell lymphoma 70Z/3 is a tumor line that resembles an early B cell. It responds to lipopolysaccharide by synthesizing kappa light chains, resulting in the appearance of surface IgM. We now demonstrate that this effect is triggered by the lipid A domain of lipopolysaccharide since a defined tetraacyl disaccharide 1,4'-bisphosphate precursor of mature lipid A, designated lipid IVA (Raetz, C. R. H., Purcell, S., Meyer, M. V., Qureshi, N., and Takayama, K. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 16080-16088), is fully active in stimulating kappa chain mRNA synthesis. In contrast, the monosaccharide lipid A precursor, lipid X, shows only slight activity; but a large excess of lipid X appears to complete with lipid IVA, partially blocking its effects. Mutants of the 70Z/3 line that are unresponsive to lipopolysaccharide also fail to respond to lipid IVA. The somatic cell system described here, coupled with the use of chemically defined agonists and antagonists, offers a new approach to understanding the early events in lipopolysaccharide/animal cell interactions.
