Inactivated Sendai Virus Particles upregulate cancer cell ICAM-1 expression with enhancing NK cell sensitivity on cancer cell

Summary

We have already reported that the inactivated Sendai virus (hemagglutinating virus of Japan; HVJ) envelope (HVJ-E) has multiple anti-cancer effects, including induction of cancer-selective cell death and activation of anti-cancer immunity. HVJ-E stimulates dendritic cells (DCs) to produce cytokines and chemokines such as IFN-β, IL-6, CCL5 and CXCL10, which activate both CD8+ T cells and NK cells and recruit them to the tumor microenvironment. However, the effect of HVJ-E on modulating the sensitivity of cancer cells to immune cell attack has yet to be investigated. In this study, we found that HVJ-E induced the production of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, CD54), a ligand of LFA-1, in several cancer cell lines through the activation of NF-κB downstream of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and the mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS) pathway. The upregulation of ICAM-1 on the surface of cancer cells increased the sensitivity of cancer cells to NK cells. Knocking out expression of ICAM-1 in MDA-MB-231 cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 method significantly reduced the killing effect of NK cells on ICAM-1-depleted MDA-MB-231 cells. HVJ-E suppressed tumor growth in MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing SCID mice, and the HVJ-E anti-tumor effect was impaired when NK cells were depleted by treatment with the anti-asialo-GM1 antibody. Our findings suggest that HVJ-E enhances NK cell sensitivity against cancer cells by increasing ICAM-1 expression on the cancer cell surface.
