Retaliation against Tumor Cells Showing Aberrant HLA Expression Using Lymphokine Activated Killer-derived T Cells1.
Cancer Res. 62, 480-487 (2002)
Lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells represent mixtures of natural killer (NK) and non-MHC-restricted CTLs that have the capacity to lyse a variety of tumor cells and MHC class I-negative target cells. Although it is clear that NK cells are negatively regulated by interactions with MHC class Ia or class Ib molecules, the regulation of LAK-derived T cells has not been clarified to date. In the studies presented here, we demonstrate that IFN- treatment of tumor cells can induce their resistance to LAK- derived T cells in a manner similar to that seen for NK cells. The IFN- -mediated suppression of LAK activity correlates with increased MHC class I expression by the tumor cells, and the inhibition of LAK- mediated cytotoxicity can be reversed in the presence of class I-specific antibody. Furthermore, the expression of MHC class Ia or class Ib mol- ecules in class I-negative cell lines can reduce their susceptibility to LAK-mediated cytotoxicity. This principle of negative regulation by MHC class I molecules applies to LAK-derived T cells generated from periph- eral blood lymphocytes of renal cell carcinoma patients and healthy, control donors. Although LAK-derived T cells can be inhibited in their lytic activity through interactions with MHC class Ia and class Ib mole- cules, they do not express the known inhibitory receptors specific for these ligands that are found on NK cells. Apparently, LAK-derived T cells are negatively regulated by as yet undefined inhibitory receptors.
