Approaches to vaccine-based immunotherapy of human cancer may ultimately require targets that are both tumour-specific and immunogenic. In order to generate specific antitumour immune responses to lung cancer, we have sought lung cancer-specific proteins that can be targeted for adjuvant vaccine therapy. By using a combination of cDNA subtraction and microarray analysis, we previously reported the identification of an RNA-binding protein within the KOC family, L523S, to be overexpressed in squamous cell cancers of the lung. We show here that L523S exhibits significant potential for vaccine immunotherapy of lung cancer. As an oncofetal protein, L523S is normally expressed in early embryonic tissues, yet it is re-expressed in a high percentage of nonsmall cell lung carcinoma. The specificity of L523S expression in lung cancer was demonstrated by both mRNA and protein measurements using real-time PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry analyses. Furthermore, we show that immunological tolerance of L523S is naturally broken in lung cancer patients, as evidenced by detectable antibody responses to recombinant L523S protein in eight of 17 lung pleural effusions from lung cancer patients. Collectively, our studies suggest that L523S may be an important marker of malignant progression in human lung cancer, and further suggest that treatment approaches based on L523S as an immunogenic target are worthy of pursuit.
