摘要: The efficacy of immunotherapy based on natural killer (NK) cells is hampered by intrinsic non-specific cytotoxicity and insufficient activation of NK cells. Here, we confer the T-cell receptor-like (TCR-like) specificity on NK cells, taking advantage of both the innate and adaptive immune arms of the immune response to generate enhanced anti-melanoma activity. The TCR-like antibody (Ab) GPA7 was selected against melanoma-associated gp100/human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2 complex and then fused to intracellular domain of CD3-zeta chain. This fusion construct was incorporated into NK-92MI cell line and expressed as a chimeric antigen receptor on the surface of the cell. The anti-tumour activity of the transgenic NK-92MI-GPA7-zeta cell line was assessed against melanoma in vitro and in vivo. The engineered NK-92MI-GPA7-zeta cells could recognize melanoma cells in the context of HLA-A2 and showed enhanced killing of both melanoma cell lines and primary melanoma. Furthermore, adoptively transferred NK-92MI-GPA7-zeta cells significantly suppressed the growth of human melanoma in a xenograft model in mice. Collectively, these results demonstrate that the TCR-like Ab, GPA7, could redirect NK cells to target the intracellular antigen gp100 and enhance anti-melanoma activity, providing a promising immunotherapeutic strategy to prevent and treat melanoma.Immunology and Cell Biology advance online publication, 8 October 2013; doi:10.1038/icb.2013.45.
