Inhibition of Cbl-b restores effector functions of human intratumoral NK cells

Description

Background: T cell-based immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can induce durable responses in cancer patients. However, clinical efficacy is limited due to the ability of cancer cells to evade immune surveillance. While T cells have been the primary focus of immunotherapy, recent research has highlighted the importance of Natural Killer (NK) cells in directly recognizing and eliminating tumor cells and playing a key role in the set-up of an effective adaptive immune response. The remarkable potential of NK cells for cancer immunotherapy is demonstrated by their ability to broadly identify stressed cells, irrespective of the presence of neoantigens, and their ability to fight tumors that have lost their Major Histocompatibility Complex class I (MHC I) expression due to acquired resistance mechanisms. However, like T cells, NK cells can become dysfunctional within the tumor microenvironment. Strategies to enhance and reinvigorate NK cell activity hold potential for bolstering cancer immunotherapy. Method: In this study, we conducted a high-throughput screen to identify molecules that could enhance primary human NK cell function. After compound validation, we investigated the effect of the top performing compound on dysfunctional NK cells that were generated by a newly developed in vitro platform. Functional activity of NK cells was investigated utilizing compounds alone and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor blockade. The findings were validated on patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells from different cancer types. Results: The screening approach led to the identification of a Cbl-b inhibitor enhancing the activity of primary human NK cells. Furthermore, the Cbl-b inhibitor was able to reinvigorate the activity of in vitro generated and patient-derived dysfunctional NK cells. Finally, Cbl-b inhibition combined with TIGIT blockade further increased the cytotoxic potential and reinvigoration of both in vitro generated and patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells. Conclusion: These findings underscore the relevance of Cbl-b inhibition in overcoming NK cells dysfunctionality with the potential to complement existing immunotherapies and improve outcomes for cancer patients.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
