ヒト扇平上皮癌に対する細胞障害性T細胞の解析

Human cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) lines with specificity restricted for autologous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) were established from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) obtained at the time of surgery and again at two different times after surgery from a patient with cancer of the tongue.The CTL lines were cultured in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL2), interleukin 4 (IL4) and autologous tumor (AuTu) cell monolayers.All three lines were CD3^+CD8^+b^-HLA-DR^+ T cell receptor (TCR)α/β^+.They were tested in 4h ^Cr-release assays against SCCHN cell lines (n=5) and a variety of non-squamous human tumor (n=5) and normal (n=5) cell targets and was found to lyse only AuTu (PCI-50) and three allogeneic SCCHN cell lines.Lysis of AuTu and the three allogeneic SCCHN targets by the established CTL lines appeared to be MHC class I restricted, since it was blocked by monoclonal antibodies to class I MHC antigens (Ags).The CTL lines proliferated in vitro in response to autologous PCI-50 or an allogeneic SCCHN cell line (PCI-1).The lines have been maintained in culture in the presence of AuTu monolayers and retained cytotoxicity against AuTu for over 20 weeks.The AuTu (PCI-50) cell line was tested for in vitro sensitivity to cytotoxic or cytostatic effects of various effector cells, including the CTL lines.PCI 50 targets were resistant to lysis by resting human mononuclear cells but sensitive to IL2-activated natural killer (A-NK) cells in 4h^Cr-release assays.In comparison with A-NK cells, the CTL line mediated lower levels of lysis against AuTu.Growth of PCI-50 cells in culture was significantly inhibited by a combination of interferon gamma (IFNγ) and IL2 or by high concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNFα).While supernatants of A-NK cells were growth inhibitory, those of the CTL line were not.On the other hand, lysis of AuTu targets by the CTL line was increased by preincubation of the tumor cells with TNFα or IFNγ.These cytokines augmented expression of HLA-class I, HLA-class II and intercellular adhesion molecule I(ICAM-I), but not SCC-associated Ags, E7 and A9, on PCI-50 cells.The CTL lines described are the first with restricted specificity for autologous SCCHN ever reported and their availability will facilitate studies of the AuTu T-cell response in head and neck cancer.富山医科薬科大学・博士(医学)・甲第173号・安村敏・1993/3/10富山医科薬科大
