Definitions
- EGFR Epidermal growth factor receptor
- the present invention relates to an EGFR-derived peptide that can be used for EGFR-based cancer immunotherapy. Specifically, the present invention relates to a polypeptide containing an EGFR-derived peptide capable of inducing both cellular and humoral immune responses, a cancer vaccine containing the peptide, and the like.
- EGFR Epidermal growth factor receptor
- EGFR is part of a family of receptors that consists of EGFR and four very similar proteins, including HER2, HER3 and HER4. This family of proteins also has extracellular ligand binding, transmembrane, and intracellular tyrosine kinase domain forces (Non-Patent Document 20). Binding of ligands such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) activates tyrosine kinases in the intracellular domain, triggering receptor autophosphorylation and activating signaling cascades involved in cell growth and survival (Non-Patent Document 20).
- EGF epidermal growth factor
- EGFR activation involves processes necessary for tumor growth and progression, including cell proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis, angiogenesis and metastasis (Non-Patent Document 19).
- EGFR is one of the most suitable target molecules for cancer treatment because it is correlated with tumor exacerbation, which is relatively high in about one-third of all epithelial cancers (Non-patent literature). 21, 22).
- Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5 a novel EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is known to be effective for treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5).
- NSCLC non-small cell lung cancer
- CTLs cytotoxic T cells
- HLA major histocompatibility complex
- Non-patent Documents 6-9 It has been reported in the past 10 years that an epitope peptide of HER2 / neu, which is one of the EGFR receptor families, can induce HLA class I-restricted CTL.
- the present inventors reported that some CTL-recognizing peptides derived from non-mutant growth-related proteins were capable of inducing both cellular and humoral immune responses in vivo (non- Patent Document 10-12).
- anti-peptide antibody levels in post-vaccine serum have been found to be in good agreement with the overall survival of advanced lung cancer patients receiving peptide vaccination (Non-Patent Document 12).
- Non-Patent Document 12 There is a body of evidence suggesting that peptides capable of inducing both cellular and humoral immune responses by calorie are more immunogenic (Non-patent Documents 13-15), and stronger therapeutic activity can be expected.
- Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) recognition epitope is a therapeutically useful compound different from existing compounds as a peptide vaccine for cancer patients with tumors that overexpress it in EGFR targeted therapy. Can be. However, there is currently no information on the EGFR CTL recognition epitope.

- a competitive assay to study the peptide specificity of cytotoxicity unlabeled C1R-A2402 cells pulsed with the corresponding peptide or HIV peptide (negative control) were used for non-radioactive and radioactive target cells. At a ratio of 10: 1, the mixture was produced into 51 Cr-releasing Atsushi. Values are expressed as mean SD of specific lysis (%), and two-tailed Student's t test was used for statistical analysis.
- the level of cytotoxicity of these peptide-stimulated PBMCs was not inhibited by any of the other monoclonal antibodies tested in this assay, which were significantly inhibited by anti-class I antibodies (W6 / 32) or anti-CD8 monoclonal antibodies.
- the cytotoxicity was also inhibited by the addition of the corresponding peptide pulse C1R-A2402 cells.
- the cytotoxicity was not inhibited by the addition of HIV peptide pulse cells (Fig. 6).
- EGFR and EGFR were identified as EGFR-derived peptides that induce a humoral immune response and an HLA-A2-restricted cellular immune response in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2.
- Anti-Bubble threat 2. ) 13 4 2 1 10 " 2 n
- Non-Patent Documents 6-9) 124-132 54-62 479-488 1138-1147 Induces both immune and cellular immune responses, resulting in higher immunogenicity compared to the known HER2 / neu-derived CTL epitope peptide. It is suggested that they have (Non-Patent Documents 6-9).
- NSCLC patients who respond to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 are only a fraction of the forces There are currently no laboratory markers suitable for predicting their clinical response. Since findings suggesting that there is a correlation between the level of the immune response to the EGFR peptide of the present invention and the clinical response to ZD1839 have been obtained, it would be more useful if the response to ZD1839 could be predicted by the EGFR-derived peptide of the present invention. (Non-Patent Documents 4, 5).
- HLA-A24aryl which is suggested to be restricted by the EGFR peptide of the present invention, accounts for 60% of Japanese (95% of these cases have the A2402 genotype), 20% of Caucasians, and Africans. 12% of non-patent literature 18). HLA-A2 aril is found in 40% of Japanese, 50% of Caucasians, and 16% of Africans.
- the EGFR peptides of the present invention may provide new insights into the development of EGFR-based immunotherapy that will help a large number of NSCLC patients worldwide.
