Research Abstract

CCR4 was shown to be expressed in many types of T-cell malignancies, especially in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma-unspecified (PTCL-U) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK negative) and be a significant and independent prognostic marker in ATLL and PTCL-U. Monoclonal antibody for CCR4 presented a strong anti-tumor effect for several types of T-cell malignancies via ADCC activity in vivo as well as in vitro assay, including CCR4-espressing Hodgkin lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. CCR4 was also expressed in the surface of cells with the character of regulatory T-cells (FOXP3 positive), strongly suggesting that the origin of ATLL tumor cells can be regulatory T-cells. Reactive T-cells surrounding Hodgkin cells (Reed-Sternberg cells) were shown to manifest both CCR4 and FOXP3 expressions on their surfaces, which suggest that CCR4 can be target molecule for the elimination of the anergy for tumor immunity. Phase I clinical study of the humanized monoclonal antibody therapy of CCR4 for T-cell malignancies was conducted and was shown to be well-tolerable with clinical resoponse.
