Comparison of a Novel Bisphosphonate Prodrug and Zoledronic Acid in the Induction of Cytotoxicity in Human V?2V?2 T Cells.


ABSTRACT: Increasing attention has been paid to human ?? T cells expressing V?2V?2 T cell receptor (also termed V?9V?2) in the field of cancer immunotherapy. We have previously demonstrated that a novel bisphosphonate prodrug, tetrakis-pivaloyloxymethyl 2-(thiazole-2-ylamino)ethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (PTA), efficiently expands peripheral blood V?2V?2 T cells to purities up to 95-99% in 10-11 days. In the present study, we first examined the effect of PTA on farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS) using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to analyze the mechanism underlying the PTA-mediated expansion of V?2V?2 T cells. We find that the prodrug induced the accumulation of both isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), direct upstream metabolites of FDPS. This indicates that not only IPP but also DMAPP plays an important role in PTA-mediated stimulation of V?2V?2 T cells. We next analyzed TCR-independent cytotoxicity of V?2V?2 T cells. When human lung cancer cell lines were challenged by V?2V?2 T cells, no detectable cytotoxicity was observed in 40 min. The lung cancer cell lines were, however, significantly killed by V?2V?2 T cells after 4-16 h in an effector-to-target ratio-dependent manner, demonstrating that V?2V?2 T cell-based cell therapy required a large number of cells and longer time when tumor cells were not sensitized. By contrast, pulsing tumor cell lines with 10-30 nM of PTA induced significant lysis of tumor cells by V?2V?2 T cells even in 40 min. Similar levels of cytotoxicity were elicited by ZOL at concentrations of 100-300 ?M, which were much higher than blood levels of ZOL after infusion (1-2 ?M), suggesting that standard 4 mg infusion of ZOL was not enough to sensitize lung cancer cells in clinical settings. In addition, V?2V?2 T cells secreted interferon-? (IFN-?) when challenged by lung cancer cell lines pulsed with PTA in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, PTA could be utilized for both expansion of V?2V?2 T cells ex vivo and sensitization of tumor cells in vivo in V?2V?2 T cell-based cancer immunotherapy. For use in patients, further studies on drug delivery are essential because of the hydrophobic nature of the prodrug.
