Abstract

For a peptide-pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccine to work effectively in cancer treatment, it is significant that the target protein is expressed in cancer cells. Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) has been identified as a molecular target for immune cell therapy of cancer. We evaluated the protein expression levels of WT1 in various solid tumors, as well as mucin 1 (MUC1) or major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class l molecules. Seven hundred and thirty-eight patients whose tissue samples were examined by immunohistochemicalanalysis agreed to undergo DC vaccine therapy. The positive staining of WT1 in tumor cells was observed in 25.3% of patients, with only 8.5% of them showing moderate to strong expression; moreover, WT1 tended to localize in the nucleus and cytoplasm. A positive staining of tumor cells by an anti-MHC class l monoclonal antibody was observed in 98.6% and by an anti-MUC1 monoclonal antibody in 76.8% of the patients. In relation to the application of cancer-specific immunotherapy, these findings provide useful information for determining the efficacy of MUC1- and WT1-targeted therapy.
