Pediatric opsoclonus-myoclonussyndrome (OMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder of which 50% are associated with neuroblastoma (NB). We investigated whether surface-binding autoantibodies in OMS can enhance natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity in these patients. OMS immunoglobulin G (IgG) bound to NB cell lines and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity to NB cells was enhanced after preincubation with OMS-IgG, but not IgG from NB without OMS or healthy controls. Activation of NK cells by surface-binding autoantibodies may be an additional mechanism of antitumor immunity in children with NB and OMS.
小儿发作性眼球运动-肌阵挛综合征(OMS)是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,其中 50%与神经母细胞瘤(NB)有关。我们研究了 OMS 中的表面结合自身抗体是否可以增强这些患者的自然杀伤(NK)细胞介导的细胞毒性。OMS 免疫球蛋白 G(IgG)与 NB 细胞系结合,并且在用 OMS-IgG 预孵育后,NK 细胞对 NB 细胞的介导的细胞毒性增强,但 NB 中无 OMS 或健康对照的 IgG 则没有。表面结合自身抗体激活 NK 细胞可能是 NB 和 OMS 儿童抗肿瘤免疫的另一种机制。
