Popis: Summary Efforts to overcome resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapy have focused on vaccination strategies using neoepitopes, although they cannot be applied on a large scale due to the “private” nature of cancer mutations. Here, we show that infection of tumor cells with Salmonella induces the opening of membrane hemichannels and the extracellular release of proteasome-generated peptides by the exacerbation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Peptides released by cancer cells foster an antitumor response in vivo, both in mice bearing B16F10 melanomas and in dogs suffering from osteosarcoma. Mass spectrometry analysis on the supernatant of human melanoma cells revealed 12 peptides capable of priming healthy-donor CD8+ T cells that recognize and kill human melanoma cells in vitro and when xenotransplanted in vivo. Hence, we identified a class of shared tumor antigens that are generated in ER-stressed cells, such as tumor cells, that do not induce tolerance and are not presented by healthy cells.

Highlights • Tumor cell infection with Salmonella induces the release of immunogenic peptides • Peptide-based vaccine boosts a strong antitumor response in dog osteosarcoma • MS analysis identified shared peptides released by human melanoma cell lines • Twelve identified peptides are capable of inducing a tumor-specific CD8 response
Melacarne et al. demonstrate that Salmonella exacerbates endoplasmic reticulum stress in tumor cells, which induces hemichannel opening and the subsequent release of peptides in the extracellular milieu. Released peptides are immunogenic, shared among tumors, and can be exploited as an anticancer vaccine to prevent metastasis occurrence.
