Abstract:
Allogeneic cell therapy as a means to break immunotolerance to solid tumors is increasingly used for cancer treatment. To investigate cellular alloimmune responses in a human tumor model, primary cultures were established from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) tissues of 56 patients. In three patients with stable RCC line and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor available, allogeneic and autologous RCC reactivities were compared using mixed lymphocyte/tumor cell cultures (MLTC). Responding lymphocytes were exclusively CD8+ T cells, whereas CD4+ T cells or natural killer cells were never observed. Sibling MLTC populations showed higher proliferative and cytolytic antitumor responses compared with their autologous counterparts. The allo-MLTC responders originated from the CD8+ CD62L(high)+ peripheral blood subpopulation containing naive precursor and central memory T cells. Limiting dilution cloning failed to establish CTL clones from autologous MLTCs or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. In contrast, a broad panel of RCC-reactive CTL clones was expanded from each allogeneic MLTC. These sibling CTL clones either recognized exclusively the original RCC tumor line or cross-reacted with nonmalignant kidney cells of patient origin. A minority of CTL clones also recognized patient-derived hematopoietic cells or other allogeneic tumor targets. The MHC-restricting alleles for RCC-reactive sibling CTL clones included HLA-A2, HLA-A3, HLA-A11, HLA-A24, and HLA-B7. In one sibling donor-RCC pair, strongly proliferative CD3+CD16+CD57+ CTL clones with non-HLA-restricted antitumor reactivity were established. Our results show superior tumor-reactive CD8 responses of matched allogeneic compared with autologous T cells. These data encourage the generation of antitumor T-cell products from HLA-identical siblings and their potential use in adoptive immunotherapy of metastatic RCC patients.
