In tumor‐bearing patients, tumor‐associated antigen (TAA)‐specific CTLs are spontaneously induced as a result of immune response to TAAs and play an important role in anti‐tumor immunity. Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) is overexpressed in various types of tumor and WT1 protein is a promising pan‐TAA because of its high immunogenicity. In this study, to clarify the immune response to the WT1 antigen, WT1‐specific CD8+T cells that were spontaneously induced in patients with solid tumor were comparatively analyzed in both bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB). WT1‐specific CD8+T cells more frequently existed in BM than in PB, whereas frequencies of naïve (CCR7+CD45RA+), central memory (CCR7+CD45RA−), effector‐memory (CCR7− CD45RA−), and effector (CCR7− CD45RA+) subsets were not significantly different between BM and PB. However, analysis of these subsets for the expression of CD57 and CD28, which were associated with differentiation, revealed that effector‐memory and effector subsets of the WT1‐specific CD8+T cells in BM had less differentiated phenotypes and more proliferative potential than those in PB. Furthermore, CD107a/b functional assay for WT1 peptide‐specific cytotoxic potential and carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester dilution assay for WT1 peptide‐specific proliferation also showed that WT1‐specific CD8+T cells in BM were less cytotoxic and more proliferative in response to WT1 peptide than those in PB. These results implied that BM played an important role as a secondary lymphoid organ in tumor‐bearing patients. Preferential residence of WT1‐specific CD8+T cells in BM could be, at least in part, explained by higher expression of chemokine receptor CCR5, whose ligand was expressed on BM fibroblasts on the WT1‐specific CD8+T cells in BM, compared to those in PB. These results should provide us with an insight into WT1‐specific immune response in tumor‐bearing patients and give us an idea of enhancement of clinical response in WT1 protein‐targeted immunotherapy.(Cancer Sci2010; 101: 848–854)
