The inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin is highly expressed in neuroblastoma (NB) and survivin-specific T cells were identified in Stage 4 patients. Therefore, we generated a novel survivin minigene DNA vaccine (pUS-high) encoding exclusively for survivin-derived peptides with superior MHC class I (H2-K(k)) binding affinities and tested its efficacy to suppress tumor growth and metastases in a syngeneic NB mouse model. Vaccination was performed by oral gavage of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL7207 carrying pUS-high. Mice receiving the pUS-high in the prophylactic setting presented a 48-52% reduction in s.c. tumor volume, weight and liver metastasis level in contrast to empty vector controls. This response was as effective as a survivin full-length vaccine and was associated with an increased target cell lysis, increased presence of CD8(+) T-cells at the primary tumor site and enhanced production of proinflammatory cytokines by systemic CD8(+) T cells. Furthermore, depletion of CD8(+) but not CD4(+) T-cells completely abrogated the pUS-high mediated primary tumor growth suppression, demonstrating a CD8(+) T-cell mediated effect. Therapeutic vaccination with pUS-high led to complete NB eradication in over 50% of immunized mice and surviving mice showed an over 80% reduction in primary tumor growth upon rechallenge in contrast to controls. In summary, survivin-based DNA vaccination is effective against NB and the rational minigene design provides a promising approach to circumvent potentially hazardous effects of using full length antiapoptotic genes as DNA vaccines.
