Project description:Antibody-Dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) induced by natural killer (NK) cells is one important mechanism by which cetuximab exerts its anti-tumoral effect. Therefore, molecular characterization of NK cells subpopulations may identify predictive biomarkers of cetuximab efficacy in mCRC patients and would provide novel therapeutic targets to enhance cetuximab-mediated ADCC.

Project description:Background: T cell-based immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can induce durable responses in cancer patients. However, clinical efficacy is limited due to the ability of cancer cells to evade immune surveillance. While T cells have been the primary focus of immunotherapy, recent research has highlighted the importance of Natural Killer (NK) cells in directly recognizing and eliminating tumor cells and playing a key role in the set-up of an effective adaptive immune response. The remarkable potential of NK cells for cancer immunotherapy is demonstrated by their ability to broadly identify stressed cells, irrespective of the presence of neoantigens, and their ability to fight tumors that have lost their Major Histocompatibility Complex class I (MHC I) expression due to acquired resistance mechanisms.
However, like T cells, NK cells can become dysfunctional within the tumor microenvironment. Strategies to enhance and reinvigorate NK cell activity hold potential for bolstering cancer immunotherapy.
Method: In this study, we conducted a high-throughput screen to identify molecules that could enhance primary human NK cell function. After compound validation, we investigated the effect of the top performing compound on dysfunctional NK cells that were generated by a newly developed in vitro platform. Functional activity of NK cells was investigated utilizing compounds alone and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor blockade. The findings were validated on patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells from different cancer types.
Results: The screening approach led to the identification of a Cbl-b inhibitor enhancing the activity of primary human NK cells. Furthermore, the Cbl-b inhibitor was able to reinvigorate the activity of in vitro generated and patient-derived dysfunctional NK cells. Finally, Cbl-b inhibition combined with TIGIT blockade further increased the cytotoxic potential and reinvigoration of both in vitro generated and patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells.
Conclusion: These findings underscore the relevance of Cbl-b inhibition in overcoming NK cells dysfunctionality with the potential to complement existing immunotherapies and improve outcomes for cancer patients.

Project description:The aim of the study was to determine the effect of natural killer (NK) cells on the global gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum. FCR3-CSA-infected red blood cells (RBCs) were co-cultured for 24h with NK92. Prior to RNA extraction, the parasitized RBCs were separated via Ficoll from the lymphocyte fraction. Control cultures of parasites without NK cells were cultivated in parallel. In addition, the effect of the separation method was determined via a Ficoll control culture of FCR3-CSA that was passed over a Ficoll gradient. All three treatments were performed in triplicate. The RNA was reverse-transcribed and hybridized onto microarrays.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of innate lymphocytes that play key roles in immune surveillance against tumors and viral infection. NK cells distinguish abnormal cells from healthy cells by cell-cell interaction with cell surface proteins and then attack target cells via multiple mechanisms involving TRAIL, Fas Ligand, cytokine secretion, perforin, and granzymes. In addition, extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes derived from NK cells (NK-EVs), possess cytotoxic capacity against tumor cells, but their characteristics and regulation by cytokines remain unknown. Here, we report that EVs derived from human NK-92 cells stimulated with IL-15 + IL-21 show enhanced cytotoxic capacity against tumor cells in a granzyme B independent manner. In addition, small RNA-seq and mass spectrometry analyses indicate that miRNA and protein profiles in EVs are altered by cytokine stimulation. We also show NK-EVs are taken up by target cells via macropinocytosis. Collectively, our findings reveal novel characteristics of NK-EVs and the mechanism of their incorporation into target cells.

Project description:The liver is enriched in innate lymphocytes, including Natural Killer (NK) cells, that can continuously interact with Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells (LSECs) within liver sinusoids. NK cells provide the early defence against infections and malignancies by exerting cytotoxicity and by secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines. To decipher how LSECs affect NK cell phenotype and function, we co-cultured NK cells with LSECs and used microarray technology to identify transcriptomic changes.

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a major role in immunosurveillance against tumor initiation and metastasis spread. Signals and checkpoints that regulate NK cell fitness and function in the tumor microenvironment are not well defined. Transforming grow factor (TGF)- is a recognized suppressor of NK cells that inhibits IL-15 dependent signaling events and induces cellular transdifferentiation, however the role of other SMAD signaling pathways in NK cells is unknown. We used a global, label-free proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of NK cells in the presence of TGF-b or activin-A.

Project description:In order to identify an expression signature that might characterize the impact of Plasmodium parasites on NK cells, we have used Affymetrix oligonucleotide microarrays to examin the global gene expression profile of primary NK cells that have been co-incubated with P. falciparum infected red blood cells and have compared it to the expression pattern of NK genes induced by cytokine treatment. PBMCs were isolated from 3 healthy donors and were incubated with iRBCs, uRBCs, IL12 plus IL18 and without any stimulus. After 24 hours at 37ºC and 5%CO2, Natural killer cells were isolated by negative selection, checked for purity by flow cytometry and processed for RNA extraction and analysis with the Human Gene 1.0 Affymetrix array. The experiment was repeated 3 times (1-2 weeks apart) for each one of the 3 donors.

Project description:NK cells are part of the innate immune system and therefore directly involved in the response to a Candida albicans infection. Our aim is to better understand the interaction of NK cells and C.albicans cells. Natural Killer cells (NK cells) were isolated from blood of 3 different donors and coincubated with Candida albicans. Transcriptome analysis was performed after 3 and 6 hours using an Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip.
