The present study aimed to determine the effect of recombinant Salmonella (SL3261)-based CEACAM6 and 4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL) vaccine on the development of colorectal cancer in rats and the potential immune mechanisms involved. Attenuated Salmonella typhimurium (vaccine strain)‑carrying plasmids pIRES-CEACAM6, pIRES‑4‑1BBL and pIRES-CEACAM6-4-1BBL were constructed. The rats were administered subcutaneous injections of 1,2-dimethyl-hydrazine (DMH) once a week for 18 weeks. Eight weeks after the first injection, the rats were divided into the pIRES/SL3261, pIRES-4-1BBL/SL3261, pIRES-CEACAM6/SL3261 and pIRES-CEACAM6-4-1BBL/SL3261 groups, and fed with corresponding vaccine strains. The rats were then sacrificed, the number of colon tumors were recorded, and the Dukes' stage were evaluated. CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, FOXP3 and CEACAM6 expression in tumor tissues was determined by immunohistochemical staining. Compared with the expression levels in the pIRES/SL3261 group, similar levels of CD3+, CD8+ and CD56+ expression were identified for the pIRES-CEACAM6/SL3261 group of rats. Additionally, a comparable number of tumors was detected in the pIRES-4-1BBL/SL3261 and pIRES-CEACAM6/SL3261 groups. By contrast, a significantly fewer number of tumors, albeit with a higher density of CD3+CD8+, CD56+ and a lower density of Foxp3+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cells was detected in the pIRES-CEACAM6-4-1BBL/SL3261 group of rats. The results indicated that vaccination with recombinant attenuated Salmonella harboring the CEACAM6 and 4-1BBL gene efficiently increased the number of CD3+CD8+ TIL and NK cells, decreased the number of FOXP3 cells and inhibited the development of DMH-induced colorectal cancer in rats.
