Natural killer (NK) cells can be effective immunotherapeutic anti-cancer agents due to their ability to selectively target and kill tumor cells. This activity is modulated by the interaction of NK cell receptors with inhibitory ligands on the surface of target cells. NK cell inhibitory ligands can be upregulated on tumor cell surfaces in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), a cytokine which is produced by activated NK cells. We hypothesized that the resistance of tumor cells to NK cell killing could be overcome by expression of the parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) V protein, which has known roles in blocking IFN-γ signaling. This was tested with human PM21-NK cells produced through a previously developed particle-based method which yields superior NK cells for immunotherapeutic applications. Infection of human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells with PIV5 blocked IFN-γ-mediated upregulation of three NK cell inhibitory ligands and enhanced in vitro killing of these tumor cells by PM21-NK cells. SK-N-SH cells transduced to constitutively express the V protein alone were resistant to IFN-γ-mediated increases in cell surface expression of NK cell inhibitory ligands. Real-time in vitro cell viability assays demonstrated that V protein expression in SK-N-SH cells was sufficient to increase PM21-NK cell-mediated killing. Toward a potential therapeutic application, transient lentiviral delivery of the V gene also enhanced PM21-NK cell killing in vitro. Our results provide the foundation for novel therapeutic applications of V protein expression in combination with ex vivo NK cell therapy to effectively increase the killing of tumor cells.
