Receptor Nkp46/NCR1 Tumors in the Absence of the NK-Activating The Journal of Immunology Enhanced In Vivo Growth of Lymphoma Tumors in the Absence of the NK-Activating Receptor NKp46/NCR11 Gili G. Halfteck, Moran Elboim, Chamutal Gur, Hagit Achdout, Hormas Ghadially, and Ofer Mandelboim2 The in vitro elimination of virus-infected and tumor cells by NK cells is regulated by a balance between signals conveyed via specific inhibitory and activating receptors. Whether NK cells and specifically the NK-activating receptor NKp46 (NCR1 in mice) are directly involved in tumor eradication in vivo is still largely unknown. Since the NKp46/NCR1 tumor ligands have not been identified yet, we use a screening technique to identify functional ligands for NKp46/NCR1 which is based on a cell reporter assay and discover a NCR1 ligand in the PD1.6 lymphoma line. To study whether NKp46/NCR1 is important for the eradication of PD1.6 lymphoma in vivo, we used the Ncr1 knockout Ncr1gfp/gfp mice generated by our group. Strikingly, all Ncr1 knockout mice developed growing PD1.6 tumors, whereas initial tumor growth was observed in the wild-type mice and tumors were completely rejected as time progressed. The growth of other lymphoma cell lines such as B10 and EL4 was equivalent between the Ncr1 knockout and wild-type mice. Finally, we show that PD1.6 lymphoma cells are less killed both in vitro and in vivo in the absence of NKp46/NCR1. Our results therefore reveal a crucial role for NKp46/NCR1 in the in vivo eradication of some lymphoma cells.

Rat anti Mouse CD335 antibody, clone 29A1.4 recognizes natural killer cell p46-related protein (NKp46), otherwise known as CD335, which is uniquely expressed by resting and activated natural killer (NK) cells, but no expression of CD335 has been detected on B cells, T cells, monocytes or granulocytes. It is a major NK cell lysis receptor for autologous pathogen-infected and tumor target cells during natural cytotoxicity responses. Ligands of CD335 include viral hemagglutinins (HAs) and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the surface of tumor cells. Staining with Rat anti mouse CD335 (29A1.4) is not strain specific and the antibody has been used to stain C57BL/6, SJL, CBA/CA and BALB/c strains. Clone 29A1.4 also activates NK cells in vitro.

  • Expression and Function of Nkp46 W32R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Expression and function of NKp46 W32R: the human homologous protein of mouse NKp46 W32R Received: 14 October 2016 Accepted: 12 December 2016 (Noé) Published: 30 January 2017 Ariella Glasner, Batya Isaacson & Ofer Mandelboim Natural killer (NK) cells eradicate infected cells and tumors following the triggering of activating receptors, like the Natural Cytotoxicity Receptors (NCRs), which include NKp30, NKp44 and NKp46. NKp46 is the only NCR expressed in mice (mNKp46), and except for some Innate Lymphoid Cell (ILC) populations (ILC1/3 subsets), its expression is restricted to NK cells. Previously, a mouse named Noé was generated in which a random point mutation (W32R) impaired the cell surface expression of mNKp46. Interestingly, the Noé mice NK cells expressed twice as much of the transcription factor Helios, and displayed general non-NKp46 specific hyperactivity. We recently showed that the mNKp46 W32R (Noé) protein was expressed on the surface of various cells; albeit slowly and unstably, that it is aberrantly glycosylated and accumulates in the ER. Interestingly, the Tryptophan (Trp) residue in position 32 is conserved between humans and mice. Therefore, we studied here the human orthologue protein of mNKp46 W32R, the human NKp46 W32R. We demonstrated that NKp46 W32R is aberrantly glycosylated, accumulates in the ER, and is unstable on the cell surface. Furthermore, we showed that overexpression of NKp46 W32R or Helios resulted in augmented NK cell activation, which may be applied to boost NK activity for therapeutic applications. NK cells are innate lymphocytes, lately characterized as group I innate lymphoid cells (ILCs). They specialize in the eradication of various pathogens and cancers1–12.

Reshaping the hypoxic immune suppressive tumor microenvironment to improve cancer immunotherapy is still a relevant challenge.

We showed that tumors 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: expressing a deleted form of HIF-1α displayed increased levels of NK and CD8+ effector T cells in the tumor microenvironment, which was associated with high levels of CCL2 and CCL5 chemokines. We showed that combining acriflavine, reported as a pharmacological agent preventing HIF-1α/HIF-1β dimerization, dramatically improved the benefit of cancer immunotherapy based on TRP-2 peptide vaccination and anti-PD-1 blocking antibody. In melanoma patients, we revealed that tumors exhibiting high CCL5 are less hypoxic, and displayed high NK, CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell markers than those having low CCL5.

  • Regulation of Monocyte/Macrophage Activation by Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor B4
    Regulation of monocyte/macrophage activation by Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor B4 (LILRB4) Mijeong (May) Park A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Medical Sciences Faculty of Medicine April 2016 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Park First name: Mijeong Other name/s: May Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Medical Sciences Faculty: Medicine Title: Modulation of monocyte/macrophage activation by leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4) Abstract The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4) belongs to a family of cell surface receptors, primarily expressed on mono-myeloid cells. LILRB4 has been shown to inhibit FcγRI- mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production by monocytes and induce tolerogenic dendritic cells in vitro. It is believed that LILRB4 regulates monocyte/macrophage activation through its three intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) by paring with activating receptor, bearing ITAM, and by dephosphorylation of non-receptor tyrosine kinases via recruitment of Src homology phosphatase-1 (SHP-1). However, the exact mechanism and the functions depending on its structure and stimuli are still unclear. In addition, regulatory functions of LILRB4 paring with non- ITAM associated activating receptors, including TLR4 is less researched. Thus, this thesis investigates, for the first time, the functions of LILRB4 in regulation of monocyte/macrophage activation depending on the position of the tyrosine residues of its ITIMs, and stimuli. Here it is shown for the first time that LILRB4 is a complex immuno-regulatory receptor that exerts dual inhibitory and activating functions in FcγRI and/or TLR4-mediated monocyte/macrophage activation including receptor-ligand internalisation, endocytosis, cytokine production, phagocytosis and bactericidal activity.
