Abstract

Although natural killer (NK) cells are well known for their ability to kill tumors, few studies have addressed the interactions between resting (nonactivated) NK cells and freshly isolated human tumors. Here, we show that human leukocyte antigen class Ilow tumor cells isolated directly from patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma trigger degranulation by resting allogeneic NK cells. This was paralleled by induction of granzyme B and caspase-6 activities in the tumor cells and significant tumor cell lysis. Ovarian carcinoma cells displayed ubiquitous expression of the DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1) ligand PVR and sparse/heterogeneous expression of the NKG2D ligands MICA/MICB and ULBP1, ULBP2, and ULBP3. In line with the NK receptor ligand expression profiles, antibody-mediated blockade of activating receptor pathways revealed a dominant role for DNAM-1 and a complementary contribution of NKG2D signaling in tumor cell recognition. These results show that resting NK cells are capable of directly recognizing freshly isolated human tumor cells and identify ovarian carcinoma as a potential target for adoptive NK cell–based immunotherapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
