B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is derived from B cell progenitors. Recently, the development of appropriate combinations of chemotherapy and immunotherapy represents a promising approach for eliminating cancer. We previously constructed an anti-CD3 × anti-CD19 bi-specific antibody in a diabody configuration and its disulfide-stabilized format (ds-diabody). The combination of the diabody or ds-diabody and Ara-C was highly effective in enhancing the cytotoxicity of T cells against the CD19+ human leukemia cell-line, Nalm-6, both in vitro and in vivo. This study verified whether B-ALL patient-derived cells were sensitive to the diabody or ds-diabody and low-dosage Ara-C combination.
This study aimed to detect the B7 family members B7.1 (CD80) and B7.2 (CD86) that were expressed in B-ALL patient-derived cells pre-treated by Ara-C (0.25 μM) and to determine the targeted killing ability of T cell subtypes induced by the diabody or ds-diabody combination with Ara-C both in vitro and in vivo. We also determined the levels of the cytokines that were released by activated CD4+ or CD8+ T cells during therapy.
Low-dose Ara-C enhanced CD80 and CD86 expression in nearly 50 % of specimens of B-ALL patient-derived cells. A combination of diabody or ds-diabody and Ara-C enhanced T cell against B-ALL cells in vitro and in vivo. Both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells were potently activated. Expression of CD25 and CD69 was augmented equally by CD4+ or CD8+ T cells. However, CD8+ T cells made the major contribution by redirecting target cell lysis in a granzyme B and perforin-dependent mechanism. CD4+ T cells played an important immunomodulatory role by secreting IL2. Consequently, IL3, IL6, TNFα, and IFNγ were also released by CD4+ or CD8+ T cells following diabody-mediated T cell activation.
T cell therapy induced by diabody or ds-diabody combined with low dose of Ara-C was effective against cancer cell-lines and in clinical trials. In vivo, the ds-diabody was more efficient than its parent diabody due to its enhanced stability.
B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)起源于 B 细胞祖细胞。最近,化疗与免疫疗法的适当联合应用为癌症治疗带来了新的希望。我们之前构建了一种双体结构的抗 CD3×抗 CD19 双特异性抗体及其二硫键稳定形式(ds-双体)。双体或 ds-双体与阿糖胞苷联合使用,在体外和体内均能显著增强 T 细胞对 CD19+人白血病细胞系 Nalm-6 的细胞毒性。本研究旨在验证 B-ALL 患者来源的细胞对双体或 ds-双体与低剂量阿糖胞苷联合治疗是否敏感。
本研究旨在检测经阿糖胞苷(0.25 μM)预处理的 B-ALL 患者来源细胞中表达的 B7 家族成员 B7.1(CD80)和 B7.2(CD86),并确定双体或 ds-双体与阿糖胞苷联合诱导的 T 细胞亚群在体外和体内的靶向杀伤能力。我们还测定了治疗过程中活化的 CD4+或 CD8+ T 细胞释放的细胞因子水平。
低剂量阿糖胞苷可使近 50%的 B-ALL 患者来源细胞标本中 CD80 和 CD86 的表达增强。双体或 ds-双体与阿糖胞苷联合使用可在体外和体内增强 T 细胞对 B-ALL 细胞的杀伤作用。CD8+和 CD4+ T 细胞均被有效激活。CD4+或 CD8+ T 细胞均可同等程度地增强 CD25 和 CD69 的表达。然而,CD8+ T 细胞通过颗粒酶 B 和穿孔素依赖的机制重定向靶细胞裂解发挥主要作用。CD4+ T 细胞通过分泌 IL2 发挥重要的免疫调节作用。因此,双体介导的 T 细胞活化后,CD4+或 CD8+ T 细胞也会释放 IL3、IL6、TNFα 和 IFNγ。
双体或 ds-双体联合低剂量阿糖胞苷诱导的 T 细胞疗法对癌细胞系有效,并已进入临床试验阶段。在体内,ds-双体由于稳定性增强,比其亲本双体更有效。
