Broadening the Message: A Nanovaccine Co-loaded with Messenger RNA and α-GalCer Induces Antitumor Immunity through Conventional and Natural Killer T Cells.
    ACS nano, 2019, 02-26, Volume: 13, Issue:2

    Messenger RNA encoding tumor antigens has the potential to evoke effective antitumor immunity. This study reports on a nanoparticle platform, named mRNA Galsomes, that successfully co-delivers nucleoside-modified antigen-encoding mRNA and the glycolipid antigen and immunopotentiator α-galactosylceramide (α-GC) to antigen-presenting cells after intravenous administration. By co-formulating low doses of α-GC, mRNA Galsomes induce a pluripotent innate and adaptive tumor-specific immune response in mice, with invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) as a driving force. In comparison, mRNA Galsomes exhibit advantages over the state-of-the-art cancer vaccines using unmodified ovalbumin (OVA)-encoding mRNA, as we observed up to seven times more tumor-infiltrating antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells, combined with a strong iNKT cell and NK cell activation. In addition, the presence of suppressive myeloid cells (myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages) in the tumor microenvironment was significantly lowered. Owing to these antitumor effects, OVA mRNA Galsomes significantly reduced tumor growth in established E.G7-OVA lymphoma, with a complete tumor rejection in 40% of the animals. Moreover, therapeutic vaccination with mRNA Galsomes enhanced the responsiveness to treatment with a PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor in B16-OVA melanoma, as evidenced by a synergistic reduction of tumor outgrowth and a significantly prolonged median survival. Taken together, these data show that intravenously administered mRNA Galsomes can provide controllable, multifaceted, and effective antitumor immunity, especially when combined with checkpoint inhibition.

Insufficient ex vivo expansion of Valpha24(+) natural killer T cells in malignant lymphoma patients related to the suppressed expression of CD1d molecules on CD14(+) cells.
    Cytotherapy, 2008, Volume: 10, Issue:5

    Valpha24(+) natural killer T (NKT) cell is a human counterpart of mice Valpha14(+) NKT cell that has a regulatory role for innate and acquired potential antitumor activity. The efficient expansion of NKT cells is an obstacle to the clinical application of Valpha24(+) NKT cells for immunotherapy.. We used mononuclear cells (MNC) obtained from the peripheral blood (PB) of normal healthy donor (HD) and malignant lymphoma (ML) patients before and after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment. MNC were cultured for 12 days with alpha-galactosylceramide (100 ng/mL) and interleukin-2 (IL-2; 100 U/mL).. The fold expansion of Valpha24(+) NKT cells was higher in HD than in ML patients (208 versus 0.00), despite comparable numbers of Valpha24(+) NKT cells before culture. G-CSF administration enhanced the predominance of Valpha24(+) NKT cell fold expansion in HD compared with ML patients (1935 versus 1.95). After treatment with G-CSF, the expression of CD1d molecules was up-regulated in CD14(+) cells from HD but not ML patients. The fold expansion of Valpha24(+) NKT cells and CD1d expression on CD14(+) cells was strongly correlated in both HD and ML patients (r(2)=0.84). However, replacement of a patient's CD14(+) cells with HD cells did not increase the efficacy of Valpha24(+) NKT cell expansion.. G-CSF-mobilized PB from ML patients has inhibitory characteristics for Valpha24(+) NKT cell expansion as a result of both monocytes and Valpha24(+) NKT cells. Multiple procedures would be needed for the expansion of patients' Valpha24(+) NKT cells.
