Popis: Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies. Effectiveness of the existing therapies is limited. Immunotherapy is a promising complementary treatment approach for CC. Major histocompatibility complex class I-related protein A and B (MICA/B) are ligands for NK cells. Shedding of MICA/B from the surface of tumor cells by cleavage of MICA/B at the membrane proxial region in MICA/B α3 structural domain is one of immune evasion strategies leading to escape of cancer cells from immunosurveillance. In this study, we generated a panel of MICA/B monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and identified one of mAbs, mAb RDM028, that had high binding affinity to MICA/B and recognized a site on MICA/B α3 structural domain that is critically important for cleavage of MICA/B. Our study has further demonstrated that RDM028 augmented the surface expression of MICA/B on HCT-116 human CC cells by inhibiting the MICA/B shedding resulting in the enhanced cyotoxicity of NK cells against HCT-116 human CC cells and mediated anti-tumor activity in nude mouse model of colon cancer. These results indicate that mAb RDM028 could be explored for developing as an effective immuno therapy against CC by targeting the MICA/B α3 domain to promot immunosurveillance mediated by MICA/B-NKG2D interaction.
