Abstract
Besides mobilizing stem cells into the periphery, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) has been shown to influence various types of innate and adaptive immune cells. For example, it impairs the effector function of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). It is assumed that this effect is mediated indirectly by monocytes, regulatory T cells and immunomodulatory cytokines influenced by G-CSF. In this study, isolated G-CSF-treated CD8(+) T cells were stimulated antigen-dependently with peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC)-coupled artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) or stimulated antigen-independently with anti-CD3/CD28 stimulator beads. By measuring the changes in interferon (IFN)-γ and granzyme B expression at the mRNA and protein level, we showed for the first time that G-CSF has a direct effect on CD8(+) CTLs, which was confirmed based on the reduced production of IFN-γ and granzyme B by the cytotoxic T cell line TALL-104 after G-CSF treatment. By investigating further elements affected by G-CSF in CTLs from stem cell donors and untreated controls, we found a decreased phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2, lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) and CD3ζ after G-CSF treatment. Additionally, miRNA-155 and activation marker expression levels were reduced. In summary, our results show that G-CSF directly influences the effector function of cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells and affects various elements of T cell activation.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex nonrestricted cytotoxic leukemic T cell line T acute lymphoblastic leukemia (TALL)-104 is being pursued as a therapeutic agent for cancer. However, the receptors and effector mechanisms responsible for its broad tumoricidal function remain undefined. Here, we examined the roles played by natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR), killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors, cytolytic granule components, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family members in tumor recognition and lysis by TALL-104 cells. The perforin-granzyme pathway, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), and Fas were each involved in the lysis of particular tumor targets by TALL-104. Furthermore, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionomycin treatment induced surface expression of Fas-L and TRAIL. In addition, supernatants from CD3-stimulated TALL-104 cultures exhibited antiproliferative activity, which was blocked 50-90% by anti-TNF-alpha monoclonal antibody (mAb). Although negative for the NCR natural killer (NK)p44, this cell line was found to express NKp46. An anti-NKp46 antibody strongly blocked TALL-104-mediated lysis of certain targets and directly induced cytokine production, granule release, and redirected lysis responses. Anti-NKG2D and anti-2B4 also stimulated redirected cytotoxicity by TALL-104. By contrast, anti-NKG2A mAb did not stain the cells or inhibit killing responses. Alternatively, KIR3DL2 was detected on TALL-104, and expression of its reported ligand, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, on target cells provided protection from cytotoxicity. Thus, NKp46, NKG2D, and 2B4 are activating receptors, and KIR3DL2 is an inhibitory receptor on TALL-104. The data demonstrate the ability of TALL-104 cells to recognize a wide variety of tumors with NK cell receptors and kill them with a broad arsenal of cytolytic effector mechanisms, including cytolytic granules and TNF family ligands.

[PMID: 15380049 PMCID: PMC522821 DOI: 10.1186/1479-5876-2-31] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2004] [Accepted: 09/20/2004] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study assessed the Granzyme B (GrB) ELISPOT as a viable alternative to the 51Cr-release assay for measuring cytotoxic activity of innate immune effector cells. We strategically selected the GrB ELISPOT assay because GrB is a hallmark effector molecule of cell-mediated destruction of target cells. Methods We optimized the GrB ELISPOT assay using the human-derived TALL-104 cytotoxic cell line as effectors against K562 target cells. Titration studies were performed to assess whether the ELISPOT assay could accurately enumerate the number of GrB-secreting effector cells. TALL-104 were treated with various secretion inhibitors and utilized in the GrB ELISPOT to determine if GrB measured in the ELISPOT was due to degranulation of effector cells. Additionally, CD107a expression on effector cells after effector-target interaction was utilized to further confirm the mechanism of GrB release by TALL-104 and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. Direct comparisons between the GrB ELISPOT, the IFN-γ ELISPOT and the standard 51Cr-release assays were made using human LAK cells. Results Titration studies demonstrated a strong correlation between the number of TALL-104 and LAK effector cells and the number of GrB spots per well. GrB secretion was detectable within 10 min of effector-target contact with optimal secretion observed at 3–4 h; in contrast, optimal IFN-γ secretion was not observed until 24 h. The protein secretion inhibitor, brefeldin A, did not inhibit the release of GrB but did abrogate IFN-γ production by TALL-104 cells. GrB secretion was abrogated by BAPTA-AM (1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N', N'-tetraacetic acid tetra(acetoxymethyl) ester), which sequesters intracellular Ca2+, thereby preventing degranulation. The number of effector cells expressing the degranulation associated glycoprotein CD107a increased after interaction with target cells and correlated with the stimulated release of GrB measured in the ELISPOT assay. Conclusions Because of its high sensitivity and ability to estimate cytotoxic effector cell frequency, the GrB ELISPOT assay is a viable alternative to the 51Cr-release assay to measure MHC non-restricted cytotoxic activity of innate immune cells. Compared to the IFN-γ ELISPOT assay, the GrB ELISPOT may be a more direct measure of cytotoxic cell activity. Because GrB is one of the primary effector molecules in natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing, detection and enumeration of GrB secreting effector cells can provide valuable insight with regards to innate immunological responses.

Abstract
The chemo-immunotherapy (CIT) and chemo-adoptive immunotherapy (CAIT) regimens tested in the past decade are summarized. From them we have learned a great deal about the interactions between various chemotherapeutic agents, immune modulating agents and effector cells. The most commonly reported result in multi-modality experiments with CAIT has been a synergistic enhancement in antitumor activity. Clinical trials usually demonstrated improvement in patient quality of life, an extension of survival time, and occasional complete regression of tumor. In many animal models, this enhancement often meant the complete regression and apparent cure of tumor in the animal. One mechanism by which this synergistic enhancement takes place appears to be a suppression of tumor-associated suppressor T cell activity by the chemotherapeutic agents, thereby inducing enhanced cytolytic activity against tumor by the adoptively transferred, activated effector cells. In CAIT the most commonly used drug has been cyclophosphamide. In CIT a wide variety of chemotherapy agents have been used but none of the clinical trials made use of cyclophosphamide. Thus, direct comparisons are not possible. Suggestive of the intricate regulatory processes involved, many CIT studies indicate a synergy only when specific doses of chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents are given, and in a specific sequence. CIT has become less toxic, is being handled on a cost-effective outpatient basis, while maintaining similar objective response rates to earlier inpatient treatments. In the future, CAIT and CIT will probably have an increasing role in the management of patients with specific cancers.

Abstract
Abstract
Human CD38 is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein that regulates lymphocyte adhesion, proliferation, and cytokine production. The mAb Moon-1 recognizes a ligand for CD38 (CD38L) and specifically inhibits CD38-mediated cell adhesion. To analyze the role of CD38 and its ligand in MHC-nonrestricted T cell activation, we examined the effects of Moon-1 and the anti-CD38 mAb IB4 on the effector functions of the IL-2-dependent T cell line TALL-104 (CD3/TCR-αβ+, CD8+, CD56+) and of LAK cells (90% CD3+). TALL-104 cells were almost 100% reactive with both mAbs, whereas the reactivity of LAK cells for IB4 and Moon-1 ranged from 10 to 60% among different donors. From 78 to 94% of the cytotoxic CD8+/CD56+ LAK subset was CD38L+. Like mAb OKT3 (anti-CD3), and at variance with IB4, Moon-1 drastically enhanced the cytotoxicity of TALL-104 and CD8+ LAK cells against a resistant tumor target. Granule exocytosis did not appear to play a role in Moon-1-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, neither IB4 nor Moon-1 induced [Ca2+]i mobilization in LAK and TALL-104 cells. Whereas stimulation of CD3 and CD38 resulted in a dramatic induction of cytokine (granulocyte-macrophage-CSF, IFN-γ, TNF-α, and TNF-β) release by both TALL-104 and LAK cells, ligation of CD38L was not followed by cytokine production in TALL-104 cells. Thus, cytotoxicity and cytokine release are independently regulated, at least in this system. These data demonstrate that CD38 and its ligand can regulate some T cell functions using signaling pathways distinct from those of CD3.

Abstract
The TALL-104 cell line, originally derived from a patient with T cell leukemia, can be maintained indefinitely in culture in the presence of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and is endowed with a highly potent major-histocompatibility-complex (MHC)-non-restricted tumoricidal activity both in vitro and in animal models. The present study analyzes in detail the short- and long-term effects of irradiation and cyclosporin A (CsA) treatment on the growth and tumoricidal function of this T cell clone as compared to polyclonal lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell preparations from healthy donors. DNA and RNA syntheses by both TALL-104 and LAK cells were irreversibly arrested a few hours after irradiation with 40 Gy. However, 4-h 51Cr-release assays, performed on different days (day 1 to day 7) after irradiation, showed that the cytotoxic efficiency of TALL-104 cells against hematopoietic and solid tumor targets was only modestly reduced, whereas that of LAK cells was severely inhibited. Moreover, the cytotoxic responses to recombinant human IL-2 and IL-12, measured 18 h after irradiation and cytokine addition, were normal in the case of TALL-104 cells but were abolished in the case of LAK cells. Co-culture of IL-2- or IL-12-preactivated TALL-104 cells with a tumor target for 5 days in the absence of cytokines resulted in a lower efficiency of lysis, as compared to the non-irradiated effectors, especially if the initial stimulus was IL-12. These findings suggest the requirement of multiple cytokine stimulation for optimal expression of tumoricidal activity by lethally irradiated TALL-104 cells. CsA, while abrogating TALL-104 cell proliferation at the low dose of 0.5 microgram/ml, inhibited their cytotoxic function marginally only at high doses (100 micrograms/ml). By contrast, CsA reduced dose-dependently the cytotoxicity of LAK cells starting at very low doses (0.5 microgram/ml). CsA did not impair the ability of TALL-104 and LAK cells to produce interferon (IFN) gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, and granulocyte/macrophage-colony-stimulatory factor (GM-CSF) in response to IL-2, IL-12, or tumor targets. Irradiation reduced drastically IFN gamma production by LAK, but not TALL-104 cells; release of TNF alpha and GM-CSF by either type of effector was inhibited by 10%-50%, depending on the stimulus. The high resistance and immunosuppressive drugs renders tis immortal T cell clone a potentially safe and effective reagent for new adoptive-transfer approaches to cancer in MHC-incompatible recipients.

Abstract
We have reported the establishment of two interleukin (IL)-2-dependent human leukemic cell lines (TALL-103/2 [CD3+TCR gamma delta +] and TALL-104 [CD3+ TCR alpha beta +]) which display major histocompatibility complex nonrestricted tumoricidal activity. Whereas TALL-103/2 cells lyse only natural killer cell-susceptible targets, TALL-104 cells display a broad range of tumor target reactivity. In reverse antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), lysis by both cell lines is triggered by monoclonal antibodies (mAb) recognizing CD3 and, to a lesser extent, CD2, but not CD8 or CD56 antigens. In conventional cytotoxic assays, the lytic activity of both cell lines is strictly Ca(2+)-dependent. In reverse ADCC, lysis by TALL-103/2 cells is highly dependent on the presence of Ca2+, whereas TALL-104 cells seem to only partially require extracellular Ca2+. The cytoplasm of both cell lines contains azurophilic granules typical of cytotoxic cells. Northern blot analysis demonstrates mRNA expression of pore-forming protein (PFP; perforin) and serine esterases (SE). The magnitude of expression of these transcripts and of lytic activity depends on the doses of IL-2. Upon deprivation of IL-2, TALL-103/2 cells completely lose cytotoxic granules and function within 16 h, whereas TALL-104 cells progressively lose expression of PFP and SE mRNA, as well as killer activity, within 4 wk. Both anti-CD3 mAb and lysable target cells induce efficient BLT-esterase secretion from TALL-103/2 and TALL-104 cells analogous to findings with conventional cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The stable expression of tumoricidal activity over 2 yr in culture renders these cell lines unique and very useful for studies on the regulation of cell-mediated lysis in vitro and in animal models.
