| Research Abstract |
We examined the sera of six patients before and after intravenous infusions of autologous chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells transduced ex vivo with an adenovirus vector encoding CD154 (Ad-CD154). Following treatment, five patients made high-titer anti-adenovirus antibodies and three made IgG reactive with a leukemia-associated surface-antigen, which we identified as ROR1. Anti-ROR1 antibodies reacted specifically only with the CLL cells of all patients examined (N = 69), but not with normal adult tissues or blood mononuclear cells, including CD5-positive B cells of healthy adults. We found that ROR1 is a receptor for Wnt5a, which could induce activation of NF-kB when co-expressed with ROR1 in HEK293 cells and enhance survival of CLL cells in vitro, an effect that could be neutralized by post-treatment anti-ROR1 antisera. This study indicates that ROR1 is a tumor-associated survival-signaling receptor for Wnt5a that can be targeted by the antibody response to autologous Ad-CD 154-transduced CLL cells.
