Subunit vaccines derived from tumor antigens play a role in tumor therapy because of their unique advantages. However, because of the weak immunogenicity of peptides in subunit vaccines, it is difficult to trigger an effective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response, which is critical for cancer therapy. A requirement for the activation of CTL cells by exogenous antigens is the stimulation of antigen presenting cells (APC) with the help of adjuvants and cross-presentation to T lymphocytes. Standard nonconjugated adjuvant-peptide mixtures do not ensure co-targeting of the antigen and the adjuvant to the same APC, which limits the effects of adjuvants. In this study, a fusion protein consisting of murine granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (mGM-CSF) fused with CTA2 (A2 subunit of cholera toxin) was generated and assembled with CTB-PSMA624-632 (prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) peptide 624-632 fused to CTB) to obtain a cholera toxin-like protein. The chimeric protein retained the biological activity of mGM-CSF and had stronger GM1 binding activity than (CTB-PSMA624-632)5. C57BL/6J mice immunized with the CT-like chimeric protein exhibited delayed tumor growth following challenge with human PSMA-EGFP-expressing RM-1 cells. Experiment results showed that the CT-like chimeric protein could induce the maturation of DC cells and improve CTL responses. Overall, these results indicate that the nasal administration of a CT-like chimeric protein vaccine results in the development of effective immunity against prostate tumor cells and might be useful for future clinical anti-tumoral applications.
