Mannan-binding protein (MBP), a Ca2+-dependent mammalian lectin specific for mannose and N-acetylglucosamine, is an important serum component associated with innate immunity. MBP activates complement and functions as a direct opsonin on binding to mannooligosaccharide-bearing pathogens. We have found that MBP recognizes and binds specifically to oligosaccharide ligands expressed on the surfaces of a human colorectal carcinoma. interestingly; the recombinant vaccinia virus carrying human MBP gene was demonstrated to possess a potent growth-inhibiting activity against human colorectal carcinoma cells transplanted in KSN nude mice when administered by intratumoral or subcutaneous injection, Moreover, a significant prolongation of life span of tumor-bearing mice resulted from the treatment. This effect appears to be a consequence of local production of MBP, Unexpectedly, the mutant MBP, which had essentially no complement-activating activity, was nearly as active as wild-type MBP, These results indicated that MBP has a previously undescribed cytotoxic activity, which we propose to term MBP-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity(MDCC). In addition, this study provides a model for the development of an effective and specific host defense factor for cancer gene therapy.
