Abstract Early-stage gastrointestinal (GI) carcinomas are amenable malignancies, however, due to late diagnosis or lack of proper medication, alternative treatment necessitates new approaches such as dendritic cell (DC) therapy. Our previous microarray study indicated Lymphocyte antigen-6 (LY6E) as a commonly overexpressed biomarker in three lethal GI cancers, colon, gastric, and pancreatic. Therefore, we examined the antigenic potency of LY6E in stimulating DCs to elicit tumor-specific responses against human colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC) cell lines HT-29 and AGS, respectively. LY6E peptide-pulsed DCs stimulated lymphocytes up to 55.9% in comparison with mature DCs (48.3%). Also, flow cytometry analysis of lymphocyte proliferation illustrated that the populations C ­ D4+ and ­CD8+ were increased after treating by peptide-pulsed DCs (62.9% and 48.7% respectively). Furthermore, the cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that the 40:1 ratio of stimulated lymphocytes on AGS and HT29 cell lines was 65.1% and 66.2%, respectively. The research exposed that LY6E loaded DCs had substantial impact stimulation, proliferation, and lineage differentiation of lymphocytes. Besides, co-cultured of primed lymphocytes with AGS and HT29 cell lines exhibited cytotoxic activity. These data suggest LY6E as a potential candidate in developing DC therapy against CRC and AGS.
