摘要
目的:人们对使用细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞抗原-4(CTLA-4)免疫疗法治疗血癌很感兴趣。遗憾的是,急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)患者经常表现出抗药性和自然杀伤细胞(NK)衰竭。本研究旨在利用CTLA-4阻断Nalm-6白血病细胞系,从而提高自然杀伤细胞的细胞毒性:在这项实验研究中,从 10 名健康人的外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)中纯化出 NK 细胞,并通过流式细胞术评估其纯度和活力。纯化的细胞在 37°C 和 5% CO2 下用白细胞介素-15(IL-15,10 ng/ml)活化过夜,然后评估 CTLA-4、活化受体和抑制受体的表达以及γ干扰素(IFN-γ)和颗粒酶 B(GZM B)的释放。此外,还评估了复发性 ALL 患者 NK 细胞上 CTLA-4 的表达。最后,评估了 CTLA-4 阻断后 NK 细胞的细胞毒活性:分离细胞的纯度为96.58 ± 2.57%。结果:分离出的细胞纯度为 96.58 ± 2.57%,IL-15 激活的分离 NK 细胞 CTLA-4 表达明显升高(8.75%,PC):我们的研究结果表明,阻断 Nalm-6 细胞的 CTLA-4 可提高 NK 细胞对这些细胞的抗肿瘤活性。我们的研究还为使用阻断抗 CTLA-4 mAbs 治疗癌症免疫疗法的潜力提供了证据。
CTLA-4 Blockade of Natural Killer Cells Increases Cytotoxicity against Acute Lymphoid Leukaemia Cells Neda.
Objective: There is interest in using cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) immunotherapy to treat blood cancers. Unfortunately, patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) frequently exhibit resistance to treatment and natural killer (NK) cell exhaustion. This study aims to increase the cytotoxic potency of natural killer cells by using CTLA-4 to block the Nalm-6 leukaemia cell line.
Materials and methods: In this experimental study, NK cells were purified from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 10 healthy people and assessed by flow cytometry for purity and viability. The purified cells were activated overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2 with interleukin-15 (IL-15, 10 ng/ml) followed by evaluation of expressions of CTLA-4, activating and inhibitory receptors, and the release of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and granzyme B (GZM B). CTLA-4 expression on NK cells from recurrent ALL patients was also evaluated. Finally, the cytotoxic activity of NK cells was assessed after the CTLA-4 blockade.
Results: The purity of the isolated cells was 96.58 ± 2.57%. Isolated NK cells activated with IL-15 resulted in significantly higher CTLA-4 expression (8.75%, P<0.05). Similarly, CTLA-4 expression on the surface of NK cells from patients with ALL was higher (7.46%) compared to healthy individuals (1.46%, P<0.05). IL-15 reduced NKG2A expression (P<0.01), and increased expressions of NKP30 (P<0.05) and NKP46 (P<0.01). The activated NK cells released more IFN-γ (P<0.5) and GZM B (P<0.01) compared to unactivated NK cells. Blockade of CTLA-4 enhanced the NK cell killing potential against Nalm-6 cells (56.3%, P<0.05); however, IFN-γ and GZM B levels were not statistically different between the blocked and non-blocked groups.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that CTLA-4 blockage of Nalm-6 cells causes an increase in antitumour activity of NK cells against these cells. Our study also provides evidence for the potential of cancer immunotherapy treatment using blocking anti-CTLA-4 mAbs.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
