چکیده

Background Natural killer (NK) cells are immune that can detect and eliminate tumor bridge innate to adaptive responses. Tumor specific activation of NK is thus an area active investigation in oncology, but date has relied on complex biologic modalities (e.g., antibodies, fusion proteins, or cell therapies), each which inherent disadvantages this application. Thus, alternative approaches warranted. Bicycle® small (ca. 1.5 kDa), chemically synthetic, structurally constrained peptides discovered via phage display optimized using structure-driven design medicinal chemistry approaches. We have now applied technology identify Bicycles bind specifically the key activating receptors, NKp46 CD16a. When coupled antigen binding results highly potent, antigen-dependent receptor activation. term new class fully synthetic molecules natural killer- tumor-targeted agonists (NK-TICAs™) we will describe their discovery evaluation presentation. Methods Using our unique screening platform, identified high affinity, selective binders By conjugating cell-engaging a model EphA2-binding Bicycle®, developed bifunctional Bicycle NK-TICA™ molecule. In vitro functional assays, evaluated ability NK-TICAs™ induce as well cell-mediated cytotoxicity cytokine production NK-tumor co-culture assays. Results novel modular compound with affinity selectivity receptors targeting capability. demonstrate receptor-expressing capability molecule function. With Bicycle's compound, engagement cells, function enhanced EphA2-expressing cytotoxicity, dose dependent manner. Conclusions therapeutic agents capable enhancing landscape oncology. hypothesize utilization multifunctional engager promote modulation infiltration anti-tumor activity solid tumors. The data presented here provide initial proof concept for application drive immunity.

Cutting edge: tumor-targeting antibodies enhance NKG2D-mediated NK cell cytotoxicity by stabilizing NK cell-tumor cell interactions.

Monoclonal antibodies represent a promising approach to fight a variety of tumors, but their mode of action remains to be fully understood. NK cells can recognize Ab-coated targets, as well as stress ligands, on tumor cells. In this study, we investigated how NK cells integrate both kinds of activating signals. NK cell-mediated killing was maximal with the combined recognition of NKG2D ligands ...

Augmentation of NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity to tumor cells by inhibitory NK cell receptor blockers.

NK cells monitor expression of MHC class I by inhibitory receptors and preferentially kill cells that lose or down-regulate MHC class I expression. One possible mechanism by which tumor cells evade NK cell killing is continued expression of appropriate MHC class I ligands to engage inhibitory receptors on NK cells. We show here that small-mol.-wt blockers against the mouse inhibitory NK cell re...

HER2-specific immunoligands engaging NKp30 or NKp80 trigger NK-cell-mediated lysis of tumor cells and enhance antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity

NK cells detect tumors through activating surface receptors, which bind self-antigens that are frequently expressed upon malignant transformation. To increase the recognition of tumor cells, the extracellular domains of ligands of the activating NK cell receptors NKp30, NKp80 and DNAM-1 (i.e. B7-H6, AICL and PVR, respectively) were fused to a single-chain fragment variable (scFv) targeting the ...

Adiponectin is a negative regulator of NK cell cytotoxicity.

NK cells are a key component of innate immune systems, and their activity is regulated by cytokines and hormones. Adiponectin, which is secreted from white adipose tissues, plays important roles in various diseases, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. In this study the effect of adiponectin on NK cell activity was investigated. Adiponectin was fo...
