Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-Cervical Cancer Effect of HPV16 E7-rejTs as Examined In Vitro and Sustainable Tumor-Suppressive Effect of HPV16 E6-rejTs In Vivo (A) Flow cytometric E7 11–19 tetramer analysis of each line of bulk CTL-derived HPV-rejTs. (B) RTCA continuous graphical output of tumor proliferation index up to 85 h for CaSki cells cocultured with HPV16 E7-rejTs, original bulk HPV16 E7-CTLs, and control CTLs; also tumor only. HLA-mismatched different epitope-CTLs, control. E:T ratios were uniformly 1:1. Data were plotted and are shown as mean ± SD. (C) Bioluminescence imaging of mice treated with original HPV16 E6-CTL clone or HPV16 E6-rejTs. GFP/FFluc -labeled cervical cancer-bearing mice were divided into three groups that received no treatment (n = 7), HPV-CTLs (n = 6), or HPV-rejTs (n = 6). Images of three representative mice from each group are shown. (D) Quantification of tumor burden on day 21 is represented. ∗p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA. (E) Kaplan-Meier survival curves representing percentage survival of the experimental groups: no treatment, HPV-CTLs, or HPV-rejTs. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 and by log-rank testing. ns, not significant. (F) Results of comparative genomic hybridization microarray of HPV-CTLs, Con-T-iPSCs, Con-HPV-rejTs, 6 factors-T-iPSCs, and 6 factors-HPV-rejTs. No aberrations in copy numbers in all comparisons: original HPV-CTLs versus Con-T-iPSCs, Con-T-iPSCs versus Con-HPV-rejTs, original HPV-CTLs versus 6 factors-T-iPSCs, and 6 factors-T-iPSCs versus 6 factors-HPV-rejTs.
Article Snippet: The HPV16 + cervical cancer cell lines SKG-IIIa (HLA-A24 + ), CaSki (HLA-A02 + ) (both RIKEN BioResource Research Center, Tsukuba, Ibaragi, Japan), and SiHa (HLA-A24 + ) (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS and penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
