“…These findings and those from a recent study, which has shown a synergistic antitumor effect in mice treated with local irradiation and intratumoral injections of DCs (45), indicate that DCs may be limiting and that increasing their numbers and function may increase tumor destruction. Thus, it is possible that tumors grow out despite increased numbers of T cells in the draining lymph node because of the inadequate Ag presentation in lymph nodes.…”

Immunotherapy of cancer is attractive because of its potential for specificity and limited side effects. The efficacy of this approach may be improved by providing adjuvant signals and an inflammatory environment for immune cell activation. We evaluated antitumor immune responses in mice after treatment of OVA-expressing B16-F0 tumors with single (15 Gy) or fractionated (5 × 3 Gy) doses of localized ionizing radiation. Irradiated mice had cells with greater capability to present tumor Ags and specific T cells that secreted IFN-γ upon peptide stimulation within tumor-draining lymph nodes than nonirradiated mice. Immune activation in tumor-draining lymph nodes correlated with an increase in the number of CD45+ cells infiltrating single dose irradiated tumors compared with nonirradiated mice. Similarly, irradiated mice had increased numbers of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes that secreted IFN-γ and lysed tumor cell targets. Peptide-specific IFN-γ responses were directed against both the class I and class II MHC-restricted OVA peptides OVA257–264 and OVA323–339, respectively, as well as the endogenous class I MHC-restricted B16 tumor peptide tyrosinase-related protein 2180–188. Adoptive transfer studies indicated that the increased numbers of tumor Ag-specific immune cells within irradiated tumors were most likely due to enhanced trafficking of these cells to the tumor site. Together these results suggest that localized radiation can increase both the generation of antitumor immune effector cells and their trafficking to the tumor site.

“…It has been widely hypothesized that tumor irradiation activates effectors of innate immunity through the induction of tumor cell apoptosis and the release of endogenous TLR agonists. The observation that such ubiquitous factors as heat-shock proteins and uric acid can act through TLRs and induce DC maturation (Gallucci et al, 1999) supports this mechanism as does the demonstration that immature DCs, when administered into irradiated tumors, induce antitumor immunity (Kim et al, 2004). Most recently, the high-mobility-group box 1 alarmin protein, released by dying tumor cells, was shown to act on TLR4 expressed by DCs.…”
