Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human γδT cell immunotherapy has shown promising results in clinical trials; however, its antitumor efficacy is limited, including results in solid tumors. Ex-vivo expanded γδT cells show potent cytotoxicity against various types of cancer cells in a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-unrestricted manner. Although several clinical trials of systemic cancer immunotherapy using γδT cells have been conducted, the results are unsatisfactory. The effector (γδT cell)-to-target (tumor cell) (E/T) ratio is an important factor determining cytotoxicity.A bladder instillation approach was used to increase the E/T ratio. The efficacy of γδT cell immunotherapy was examined in an orthotopic xenograft model. In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS) analysis revealed the potent cytotoxicity of weekly intravesical administration of γδT cells.The results indicate that the bladder infusion approach may be clinically applicable and could have beneficial effects in refractory bladder cancer.
