Autologous Antileukemia Cytotoxicity Induced by PBL and BM Culture with rIL-2: Use in Autologous BMT for Inducing GVL?

Abstract

Increasing evidence indicates that natural killer (NK) cells may play a role in defense against leukemia [1, 2]: low NK responding individuals have an increased susceptibility to leukemia; patients with acute leukemia (AL), even in complete remission (CR), have a defect in NK cell function [3,4]; and NK clones with antileukemia activity have been observed following Bone Marrow transplantation (BMT) [5]. Allo-BMT is more effective than auto-BMT [6, 7] with regard not only to the transplantation of “clean” BM but principally to the immunologic stimulation induced by the graft-versus-host (GVH) response [8]. The question is:Would it be possible to induce such an antileukemia effect when using rIL-2 in auto-BMT? LAK cells obtained after 3–5 days culture of PBL with IL-2 are cytotoxic against NK-resistant cell lines without major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restriction [9]. Progenitors and effectors have the LGL morphology. The effectors are principally (95%) NK-activated cells (CD3−, TCR−, CD16+, NKH1+) and only 5% are “NK-like” T cells (CD3+, TCRγδ+, NKH1+) [10–13]. Several reports mention the susceptibility of leukemic blast cells to lysis by LAK cells and IL-2 [14–22] but to date there are still few reports concerned with autologous antileukemia cytotoxicity in leukemic patients in CR.
