CD8+ T cell NKG2D Induction, Localization, and Solid Tumor Inhibition
-
NKG2D is specifically induced on CD8+ T cells by Doxorubicin + IL-12 but Not Other Types of Immune Cells
-
CD8+ T cells NKG2D Induction by Doxorubicin + IL-12 Enhances Immune Cell Localization in Solid Tumor
-
CD8+ T cells Inhibition of Solid Tumor Growth and Metastasis by Doxorubicin + IL-12 is dependent on NKG2D

Solid Tumor NKG2D Ligand Induction & Expression
• As Tumor Malignancy Increases, the NKG2D Ligand in Tumors Decreases
-
Chemotherapeutic Agents Can Induce NKG2D Ligand on Tumor Cells in Vitro , Not In Vivo
-
Combination of a Few Specific Chemotherapeutic Agents and IL-12 Can Increase NKG2D Ligand in Solid Tumors, ie Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Cisplatin
-
Doxorubicin + IL-12 Induces Tumor-Specific and Long Lasting NKG2D Ligand Expression
-
No NKG2D Ligand Induction in Normal Tissues after Doxorubicin + IL-12 Treatment

CD8+ T cells Deep Penetration & Tumor Killing
• Doxorubicin or IL-12 Alone Attracts CD8+ T cells to Tumor Margins. Only Doxorubicin plus IL-12 Recruit CD8+ T cells to Centers of the Tumors (10mm in diameter)
- Doxorubicin + IL-12 promotes IFN-gamma which boosted CXCL9 and CXCL10 Expression

IL-12, a Critical and Successful Anticancer Agent in Preclinical but not in Clinical Studies (so far)
-
Recombinant IL-12 Protein
-
Systematic especially hematologic toxicity
-
Toxic effects related to secondary production of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha
-
IL-12 Gene Therapy
-
Intratumoral IL-12 plasmid injection has low gene transfer efficiency
-
Intralesional IL-12 plasmid + electroporation was more effective but not applicable for systemic tumors
-
Intramuscular IL-12 plasmid + electroporation failed to localize IL-12 product
-
Tissue TIL + Inducible IL-12 (Dr. Steve Rosenberg, NCI)
-
Short responses without IL-12 producing TIL persistence in melanoma
-
High serum IL-12 levels and IFN-g associated clinically toxicities
-
Peripheral Blood TCR + Inducible IL-12 (Dr. Steve Rosenberg, NCI)
-
T-cell receptor specific for NY-ESO-1 tumor antigen in sarcoma and melanoma - Study suspended several weeks after start of the trial which was then terminated.
-
4[th] Generation CAR T cell with Inducible IL-12 (Dr. Brentgens, MSKCC) - MUC-16 CAR T cell with secreting IL-12 against recurrent ovarian cancer
