Enhancement of the anticancer ability of natural killer cells through allogeneic mitochondrial transfer

ABSTRACT: Conventional natural killer (NK)-based anticancer immunotherapy has a limitation in that a culture period of approximately 2 weeks is required to increase the number and activity of NK cells. In addition, the anticancer activity of NK cells is closely associated with their mitochondrial function. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the NK-anticancer activity increased after transferring allogeneic mitochondria into NK cells. Using this method, NK cells with enhanced anticancer activity can be produced without in vitro culture and can be used for anticancer treatment.

Project description:A major impediment to the effective treatment of patients with PDAC (Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma) is the molecular heterogeneity of the disease, which is reflected in an equally diverse pattern of clinical responses to therapy. We developed an efficient strategy in which PDAC samples from 17 consecutively patients were obtained by EUS-FNA or surgery, their cells maintained as a primary culture and tumors as breathing tumors by xenografting in immunosuppressed mice. For these patients a clinical follow up was obtained. On the breathing tumors we studied the RNA expression profile by an Affymetrix approach. We observed a significant heterogeneity in their RNA expression profile, however, the transcriptome was able to discriminate patients with long- or short-time survival which correspond to moderately- or poorly-differentiated PDAC tumors respectively. Cells allowed us the possibility to analyze their relative sensitivity to several anticancer drugs in vitro by developing a chimiogram, like an antibiogram for microorganisms, with several anticancer drugs for obtaining an individual profile of drug sensitivity and as expected, the response was patient-dependent. Interestingly, using this approach, we also found that the transcriptome analysis could predict the sensitivity to some anticancer drugs of patients with a PDAC. In conclusion, using this approach, we found that the transcriptome analysis could predict the sensitivity to some anticancer drugs and the clinical outcome of patients with a PDAC. PDAC samples from 17 consecutively patients were obtained by Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) or surgery. Consents of informed patients were collected, and the ethics review board of the three centers approved the study. All samples were anonymized and obtained in accordance with institutional review boards. EUS-FNA cells were maintained as a primary culture and tumors as breathing tumors by xenografting in immunosuppressed mice. We characterized 17 PDAC-derived xenografts by duplicate. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized on Human Gene 2.0 (Genechip, Affymetrix) as described previously (Hamidi et al. JCI 122: 2092-2103, 2012).
