Abstract

High affinity natural killer cells (haNKs) are a cell therapy product capable of mediating both direct and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). These cells may be particularly useful in tumors that escape T-cell anti-tumor immunity by harboring antigen processing and presentation defects. Here, we demonstrated that haNKs directly kill both HPV-positive and negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells. Variable tumor cell sensitivity to haNK direct cytotoxicity did not correlated with MHC class I chain-related protein A or B (MICA or MICB) expression. Importantly, haNK killing was significantly enhanced via ADCC mediated by cetuximab or avelumab in cells with higher baseline EGFR or PD-L1 expression, respectively. The ability of IFNγ to induce tumor cell PD-L1 expression correlated with enhanced PD-L1-specific ADCC. IFNγ induced neither tumor cell EGFR expression nor EGFR-specific ADCC. Although a single dose of 8 Gy IR did not appear to directly enhance susceptibility to haNK killing alone, enhanced PD-L1- and EGFR-mediated ADCC after IR correlated with increased PD-L1 and EGFR expression in one of four models. This pre-clinical evidence supports the investigation of haNK cellular therapy in combination with ADCC-mediating mAbs, with or without IR, in the clinical trial setting for patients with advanced HNSCCs. Given the MHC-unrestricted nature of this treatment, it may represent an opportunity to treat patients with non-T-cell inflamed tumors.
