dc.description.abstractWe report here that gene transfer using recombinant adenoviruses encoding interleukin (IL)-18 mutants induces potent antitumor activity in vivo. The precursor form of IL-18 (ProIL-18) is processed by caspase-1 to produce bioactive IL-18, but its cleavage by caspase-3 (CPP32) produces an inactive form. To prepare IL-18 molecules with an effective antitumor activity, a murine IL-18 mutant with the signal sequence of murine granulocyte-macrophage (GM)- colony stimulating factor (CSF) at the 5′-end of mature IL-18 cDNA (GMmIL-18) and human IL-18 mutant with the prepro leader sequence of trypsin (PPT), which is not cleaved by caspase-3 (PPThIL-18CPP32-), respectively, were constructed. Adenovirus vectors carrying GMmIL-18 or PPThIL-18CPP32- produced bioactive IL-18. Ad.GMmIL-18 had a more potent antitumor effect than Ad.mProIL-18 encoding immature IL-18 in renal cell adenocarcinoma (Renca) tumor-bearing mice. Tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, the induction of Th1 cytokines, and an augmented natural killer (NK) cell activity were detected in Renca tumor-bearing mice treated with Ad.GMmIL-18. An immunohistological analysis revealed that CD4+ and CD8+ T cells abundantly infiltrated into tumors of mice treated with Ad.GMmIL-18. Huh-7 human hepatoma tumor growth in nude mice with a defect of T cell function was significantly inhibited by Ad.PPThIL-18CPP32- compared with Ad.hProIL-18 encoding immature IL-18. Nude mice treated with Ad.PPThIL-18CPP32- contained NK cells with increased cytotoxicity. The results suggest that the release of mature IL-18 in tumors is required for achieving an antitumor effect including tumor-specific cellular immunity and augmented NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. These optimally designed IL-18 mutants could be useful for improving the antitumor effectiveness of wild-type IL-18.-
