Drug-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients do not respond to standard chemotherapy, and an urgent need exists to develop new treatment strategies. Our study exploited the presence of B-cell activating factor receptor (BAFF-R) on the surface of drug-resistant B-ALL cells as a therapeutic target. We used anti–BAFF-R (VAY736), optimized for natural killer (NK) cell–mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), to kill drug-resistant ALL cells. VAY736 antibody and NK cell treatments significantly decreased ALL disease burden and provided survival benefitin vivo. However, if the disease was advanced, the ADCC efficacy of NK cells was inhibited by microenvironmental transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ). Inhibiting TGFβ signaling in NK cells using the TGFβ receptor 1 (R1) inhibitor (EW-7197) significantly enhanced VAY736-induced NK cell–mediated ALL killing. Our results highlight the potential of using a combination of VAY736 antibody with EW-7197 to treat advance-stage, drug-resistant B-ALL patients.
