Targeting Siglec-E facilitates tumor vaccine-induced antitumor immunity in renal carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Siglec-E is an immune checkpoint inhibitory molecule. Expression of Siglec-E on the immune cells has been shown to promote tumor regression. This study aimed to develop an adenovirus (Ad) vaccine targeting Siglec-E and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) (Ad-Siglec-E/CAIX) and to evaluate its potential antitumor effects in several preclinical renal cancer models.

Methods

Ad vaccines encoding Siglec-E or CAIX were developed and evaluated for their therapeutic potential in mouse subcutaneous, lung metastatic, and orthotopic tumor models. The expression of Ad-Siglec-E/CAIX was confirmed via PCR and flow cytometry. Immune responses induced by Ad-Siglec-E/CAIX were assessed in vitro and in vivo using flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, histological analysis, cell pro
