CD28H (TMIGD2 or IGPR-1) belongs to the CD28 family and is a transmembrane protein with an immunoglobulin-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail. The main objective of the inventors was to evaluate the consequences of CD28H stimulation on NK with a monoclonal anti-CD28H antibody (clone 4-5) known to activate T cells. The inventors show that circulating CD56bright and CD56dim NK cells express the same level of CD28H. Circulating CD28H+ NK cells are more activated than CD28Hneg, in fact NK CD28H+ cells express more CD69, NKp30 and Nkp46. The agonist anti-CD28H mAb induces a calcium flux in NK cells while the blocking mAb does not. Calcium flux evaluation shows that CD28H synergize with NKP46 but not with CD16. After an overnight stimulation with the agonist anti-CD28H mAb, NK cells express more CD69, Nkp30, NKG2D and less CD16 compared to a control condition with an isotype mAb. This reflects a very strong activation of NK cells. Moreover, the CD28H-primed NK cells treated with the agonistic anti-CD28H mAb secret more granzyme B and more IFN-g in presence of K562. CD28H-primed NK cells increase their cytotoxic capacities against tumor cell lines. When used in vivo in a xeno-GVHD model in NSG-SGM3 mice, the agonistic anti-CD28H mAb increases the frequency of NK cells suggesting a potential role of CD28H in NK homeostasis. Thus CD28H is a strong activator of NK cells and is the potential new therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy
CD28H(TMIGD2 或 IGPR-1)属于 CD28 家族,是一种跨膜蛋白,具有免疫球蛋白样胞外结构域、跨膜结构域和胞质尾部。发明者的主要目的是评估 CD28H 刺激 NK 与已知能激活 T 细胞的单克隆抗 CD28H 抗体(克隆 4-5)的后果。发明人发现,循环中 CD56bright 和 CD56dim NK 细胞表达相同水平的 CD28H。循环中的 CD28H+ NK 细胞比 CD28Hneg 更活化,事实上,NK CD28H+ 细胞表达更多的 CD69、NKp30 和 Nkp46。激动剂抗 CD28H mAb 能诱导 NK 细胞中的钙通量,而阻断 mAb 则不能。钙通量评估显示,CD28H 与 NKP46 有协同作用,但与 CD16 没有协同作用。与使用同种型 mAb 的对照组相比,在使用激动剂抗 CD28H mAb 刺激过夜后,NK 细胞表达更多的 CD69、Nkp30 和 NKG2D,而表达更少的 CD16。这反映出 NK 细胞被强烈激活。此外,在有 K562 存在的情况下,用激动抗 CD28H mAb 处理的 CD28H 催化 NK 细胞会分泌更多的颗粒酶 B 和更多的 IFN-g。CD28H刺激的NK细胞提高了对肿瘤细胞株的细胞毒能力。在NSG-SGM3小鼠体内的异种-GVHD模型中,激动抗CD28H mAb可增加NK细胞的频率,这表明CD28H在NK平衡中的潜在作用。因此,CD28H 是 NK 细胞的强激活剂,是癌症免疫疗法的潜在新治疗靶点。
