Abstract
Abstract Cross-priming of CD8+ T cells and generation of effector immune responses is pivotal for tumor immunity, successful anticancer vaccination and therapy. We have discovered a novel molecular mechanism operating in antigen donor cells, which regulates cross-priming of CD8+ T cells during primary sterile necrosis and thereby controls adaptive immune responses. We show that cellular peptidases, dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP-3) and thimet oligopeptidase 1 (TOP-1) present in non-immunogenic necrotic cells eliminate proteasomal degradation products and block antigen cross-presentation. While sterile necrotic tumor cells fail to induce CD8+ T cell responses, their non-immunogenicity can be reversed in vitro and in vivo by inactivation of peptidases, DPP-3 and TOP-1. Thus control of cross-priming and thereby immunogenicity of primary sterile necrosis relies on the proteasome dependent oligopeptide generation and functional status of peptidases in antigen donor cells.
