IL-15 and IL-2 possess similar properties, including the ability to induce T cell proliferation. However, whereas IL-2 can promote apoptosis and limit CD8(+) memory T cell survival and proliferation, IL-15 helps maintain a memory CD8(+) T cell population and can inhibit apoptosis. We sought to determine whether IL-15 could enhance the in vivo function of tumor/self-reactive CD8(+) T cells by using a T cell receptor transgenic mouse (pmel-1) whose CD8(+) T cells recognize an epitope derived from the self/melanoma antigen gp100. By removing endogenous IL-15 by using tumor-bearing IL-15 knockout hosts or supplementing IL-15 by means of exogenous administration, as a component of culture media or as a transgene expressed by adoptively transferred T cells, we demonstrate that IL-15 can improve the in vivo antitumor activity of adoptively transferred CD8(+) T cells. These results provide several avenues for improving adoptive immunotherapy of cancer in patients.
白细胞介素-15（IL-15）和白细胞介素-2（IL-2）具有相似的特性，包括诱导T细胞增殖的能力。然而，IL-2可促进细胞凋亡并限制CD8(+)记忆性T细胞的存活和增殖，而IL-15则有助于维持记忆性CD8(+) T细胞群体并可抑制细胞凋亡。我们试图通过使用一种T细胞受体转基因小鼠（pmel-1）来确定IL-15是否能够增强肿瘤/自身反应性CD8(+) T细胞的体内功能，该小鼠的CD8(+) T细胞识别源自自身/黑色素瘤抗原gp100的一个表位。通过使用荷瘤IL-15基因敲除宿主去除内源性IL-15，或通过外源给药补充IL-15（作为培养基的一个成分或作为过继转移T细胞所表达的转基因），我们证明IL-15可改善过继转移的CD8(+) T细胞的体内抗肿瘤活性。这些结果为改善癌症患者的过继性免疫治疗提供了多条途径。
