Abstrakt: Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins, also known as Siglecs, have recently been designated as glyco-immune checkpoints. Through their interactions with sialylated glycan ligands overexpressed on tumor cells, inhibitory Siglecs on innate and adaptive immune cells modulate signaling cascades to restrain anti-tumor immune responses. However, the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying these processes is just beginning. We find that when human natural killer (NK) cells attack tumor cells, glycan remodeling occurs on the target cells at the immunological synapse. This remodeling occurs through both the transfer of sialylated glycans from NK cells to target tumor cells and the accumulation of de novo synthesized sialosides on the tumor cells. The functionalization of NK cells with a high-affinity ligand of Siglec-7 leads to multifaceted consequences in modulating a Siglec-7-regulated NK-activation. At high levels of ligand, an enzymatically added Siglec-7 ligand suppresses NK cytotoxicity through the recruitment of Siglec-7 to an immune synapse, whereas at low levels of ligand an enzymatically added Siglec-7 ligand triggers the release of Siglec-7 from the cell surface into the culture medium, preventing a Siglec-7-mediated inhibition of NK cytotoxicity. These results suggest that a glycan engineering of NK cells may provide a means to boost NK effector functions for related applications.
