Tumors escape immune-mediated rejection by a variety of mechanisms during tumor progression. The elucidation of these mechanisms in vivo suffers from a lack of suitable models of spontaneous tumor formation escaping active specific immunotherapy (ASI). In a rat neu transgenic (rNeu-TG) mouse model of spontaneous breast tumor formation, we showed that rNeu-TG mice developed late escape tumors despite the presence of a persistent rNeu-specific immune response after ASI. Cell suspensions derived from these escape tumors grew in vaccinated tumor-free mice, whereas injected spontaneous tumor cells were rejected. Escape tumors retained rNeu or MHC class I expression but significantly upregulated Fas (CD95, Apo-1) ligand. We further demonstrated that Fas-L on escape tumor cells correlated with apoptosis of infiltrating T lymphocytes. Thus, our results provide evidence that spontaneous breast tumors upregulate Fas-L expression after vaccination that may promote tumor escape in vivo after ASI.
