20080214452METHOD FOR EFFECTING LOCALIZED, NON-SYSTEMIC AND SYSTEMIC, IMMUNOGENIC TREATMENT OF CANCER USING CRT TRANSLOCATION - Anthracyclines-treated tumor cells are particularly effective in eliciting an anti-cancer immune response, where the rDNA-damaging agents, such as etoposide and mitomycin C do not induce immunogenic cell death. Anthracyclines induce the rapid, pre-apoptotic translocation of calreticulin (CRT) to the cell surface. Blockade or knock down of CRT suppressed the phagocytosis of anthracyclines-treated tumor cells by dendritic cells and abolished their immunogenicity in mammals, such as mice. The anthracyclines-induced CRT translocation was mimicked by inhibition of the protein phosphatase1/GADD34 complex. Administration of recombinant CRT or inhibitors of protein phosphatase1/GADD34 restored the immunogenicity of cell death elicited by etoposide and mitomycin C, and enhanced their antitumor effects in vivo. These data identify CRT as a key feature determining anti-cancer immune responses and delineate a possible strategy for immunogenic chemotherapy.2008-09-04
