The proliferation and activation of CD4+ T helper 1 (Th1) cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that produce interferonγ (IFNγ) is an essential action of effective cancer vaccines. Recently, a novel Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) helper peptide (WT1 HP3451; amino acid sequence, WAPVLDFAPPGASAYGSL) applicable for various human leukocyte antigen (HLA) subtypes (HLADR, HLADP and HLADQ) was reported to increase peptide immunogenicity; however, the function of WT1 HP3451 remains unclear. In the present study, mature dendritic cells (mDCs) pulsed with WT1 HP3451 (mDC/WT1 HP3451) activated not only WT1specific CD4+ T cells but also CD8+ T cells that produced IFNγ following stimulation with immature dendritic cells (imDCs) pulsed with WT1 killer peptide (imDC/WT1 KP3745) in an HLAA*02:01 or HLAA*02:06restricted manner. Furthermore, the activated WT1reactive CD4+ Th1 cells were predominantly effector memory (EM) T cells. In 5 of 12 (41.7%) patients with cancer carrying the HLAA*02:01 or HLAA*02:06 allele, WT1reactive CD8+ T cells stimulated with mDC/WT1 HP3451 enhanced their levels of WT1 KP3745specific IFNγ production, with an increase >10%. Simultaneous activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells occurred more often when stimulation with mDC/WT1 HP3451 was combined with imDC/WT1 KP3745 restimulation. These results indicated that the novel mDC/WT1 HP3451 combination induced responses by WT1specific EM CD4+ Th1 cells and HLAA*02:01 or HLAA*02:06restricted CD8+ CTLs, suggesting its potential as a WT1targeting cancer vaccine.
