Double transgenic mice overexpressing the transforming rat HER-2/neu oncogene and the mutated p53, with both dominant-negative and a gain-of-function properties, display early aggressive and metastasizing parotid tumors. Multiple acinar and ductal hyperplasia foci overexpressing the HER-2/neu gene product are evident at wk 5 and progress to poorly differentiated carcinoma by wk 7. Mice die before wk 18 with invasive carcinomas and multiple metastases that no longer express HER-2/neu. A combination of repeated electroporations of plasmids coding for the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the rat HER-2/neu receptor with systemic IL-12 administrations started when the parotids that present diffuse hyperplasia protected all female and 50% of the male mice until the close of the experiment at wk 40. This combined treatment began when multifocal in situ carcinomas that were already present cured 33% of the females and 25% of the males. The most prominent immunologic features associated with the antitumor protection were the production of high titers of anti-HER-2/neu Abs and the nonappearance of cell-mediated cytotoxic reactivity. In conclusion, anti-HER-2/neu vaccination combined with systemic IL-12 control parotid carcinomas as far as p53 mutation makes their growth independent of HER-2/neu expression.
