英文摘要
Natural killer cells (NK) act as a first line of defense against infection and cancer. NK activation is controlled by
a balance of signals transmitted by activating and inhibitory NK receptors. The activating receptor NKp46 is
considered the major activating receptor in natural cytotoxicity against autologous, allogeneic and xenogeneic
target cells. NKp46 is conserved in mammals and virtually ubiquitously expressed on NK, suggesting it is
functionally important. Mice deficient in Ncr1, the gene encoding NKp46, are impaired in tumor immune
surveillance, have more severe influenza A, metapneumovirus, reovirus and fusobacterium infections and graft
versus host disease. The endogenous ligand of this important activating NK receptor is not known, despite
decades of searching. Our preliminary work suggests that NKp46 recognizes calreticulin (CRT), which is
normally found inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but gets transferred to the cell surface in ER-stressed cells
or tumor cells treated with some cancer drugs. An NKp46-Ig fusion protein specifically pulls down cell-surface
CRT (ecto-CRT) and preliminary data using surface plasmon resonance indicate specific binding. Knocking
down CALR, the gene encoding for CRT, or adding blocking antibodies to CRT inhibits NKp46-mediated NK
killing. Some chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy induce an immunostimulatory type of programmed cell
death in cancer cells, known as immunogenic cell death (ICD), which removes surviving tumor cells after
treatment. The mechanism behind ICD has been linked to ecto-CRT, which serves as an “eat me”/phagocytic
signal for dendritic cells, which then activate anti-tumor CD8+ T cells by cross-priming. Here we hypothesize that
NKp46 recognizes ecto-CRT, and that NK recognition of ER-stressed cells via NKp46 interaction with ecto-CRT
plays an important role in ICD and NK-mediated immune defense more generally. In preliminary data, infection
with ZIKV, which replicates in the ER and causes ER stress, and treatment of tumor cell lines with ICD-inducing
chemotherapy drugs induces ecto-CRT and NKp46-dependent NK killing. Moreover, CRT-coated tumor cells
become NK cell targets, and NCR1 knockout in an NK cell line strongly inhibits its killing of targets with exposed
CRT. To test our hypotheses, we will first confirm that ecto-CRT is a ligand for NKp46 by using biophysical
methods to characterize ecto-CRT and NKp46 binding and identifying the regions of CRT responsible for the
interaction. Genetic manipulation or blocking of NKp46 on NK and of ecto-CRT on tumor targets will examine
the role of this receptor-ligand interaction in NK recognition, immune synapse formation and functional responses
to infected and tumor cells. NK killing of untreated tumor cells and tumor cells treated with ICD-inducing and
noninducing drugs will be compared. The in vivo role of NKp46 in controlling ZIKV infection and mouse tumors
(without and with chemotherapy) will be assessed by comparing viral levels and tumor growth, NK cell infiltration
of tumors and survival in wild-type and Ncr1-/- mice.
