Treatment of C57BL/6 mice with cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg) and fludarabine (200 mg/kg) induced non-myeloablative lymphodepletion without inhibiting D5 melanoma tumor growth. Utilizing this model, we found that induction of lymphopenia prior to adoptive transfer of ex vivo anti-CD3/CD28 activated and IL-2 expanded D5-G6 tumor draining lymph node cells enhanced the anti-tumor efficacy of the infused cells in both pulmonary metastases and subcutaneous D5 bearing mice. However, induction of lymphopenia did not promote intratumoral or extratumoral proliferation or accumulation of the infused cells. We have previously shown that radiotherapy enhances the therapeutic efficacy of intratumoral unpulsed dendritic cell vaccination in subcutaneous murine tumor models by augmenting the induction of anti-tumor cellular immune responses. Here, we confirmed this finding in a murine metastatic melanoma liver tumor model. Furthermore, local tumor irradiation combined with intratumoral dendritic cell administration significantly enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of tumor-reactive T cell adoptive transfer in this lymphodepleted liver tumor model. This was evident by reduced liver tumor size, decreased incidence of spontaneous intra-abdominal metastasis, and prolonged survival, resulting in 46% of mice cured. This enhanced anti-tumor activity was associated with a selective increase in proliferation, accumulation, and function of CD4+ rather than CD8+ infused cells. This multimodality regimen may have translational applications for the treatment of human cancers.
