| Research Abstract |
This research has been conducted for the purpose of developing the tailored-made type of prostate cancer gene therapy activating tumor specific systemic immunity. We achieved following resuts
1)Clinical trial of prostate cancer gene therapy
We performed prostate cancer gene therapy using intraprostatic injection of adenoviral vector expressing HSV-tk gene and systemic administration of Ganciclovir and analyzed immunological profile of each patient in addition to clinical safety and efficacy. Clinical safety and efficacy were confirmed in 9 cases. Serum cytokine level did not change significantly before and after gene therapy. Interestingly peripheral blood CD8+/HLA-DR+ increased after treatment indicating systemic activation of cell mediated immunity.
2)Expression analysis of tumor associated antigen in prostate cancer
Expression of NY-ESO-1,SSX in prostate cancer were analyzed and its host immune reaction based of tissue expression were also checked. As a result it was suggested that NY-ESO-1,SSX can be a target for the prostate cancer immunotherapy.
3)Clinical trial of immunotherapy
Peptid pulsed dendritic cell therapy and NY-ESO-1 protein immuno-therapy were conducted. Clinical safety and clinical activity were confirmed. Tumor specific immune response were also observed in some cases.
4)Interleukin-12 immuno gene therapy(extensive research)
Usefulness of adjuvant and neo-adjuvant application of IL- 12 gene therapy was confirmed as a extensive collaboration Baylor College of Medicine.
