| Abstract |
Innate immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in antitumor immune responses. NKG2D is a major activating immunoreceptor expressed in not only NK cells but also CD8+ T cells and shows cytotoxicity against tumors by recognizing its ligands major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A and B (MICA and MICB) on tumor cells. Recently, it has been suggested that NKG2D-mediated cytotoxicity correlates with the expression levels of NKG2D ligands on target cells. In this study, we were able to increase the expression levels of MICA and MICB on leukemic cell lines and patients' leukemic cells by treatment with trichostatin A (TsA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed that treatment with TsA resulted in increased acetylation of histone H3 and decreased association with HDAC1 at the promoters of MICA and MICB. Intriguingly, upregulation of MICA and MICB by treatment with TsA led to enhancement of the susceptibility of leukemic cells to the cytotoxicity of NKG2D-expressing cells. Our results suggest that regulation of the expression of NKG2D ligands by treatment with chromatin-remodeling drugs may be an attractive strategy for immunotherapy.
