IMMUNOBIOLOGY

IFN-gamma -mediated inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by natural killer T-cell ligand, alpha -galactosylceramide

Alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha -GalCer), which is a specific ligand for CD1d-restricted variable-alpha 14 chain (Valpha 14) natural killer T (NKT) cells, exerts a potent antitumor effect. We recently demonstrated that interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma ) secreted by both NKT cells and NK cells plays a critical role in mediating the antimetastatic effect of alpha -GalCer; however, the IFN-gamma -dependent antitumor mechanisms remain poorly defined. In the present study, we demonstrate IFN-gamma -dependent inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by alpha -GalCer. In alpha -GalCer-treated mice, subcutaneous tumor growth and tumor-induced angiogenesis were inhibited in an IFN-gamma -dependent manner. The alpha -GalCer-activated splenic or hepatic mononuclear cells inhibited murine endothelial cell proliferation in vitro, and this inhibitory effect was mediated mostly by IFN-gamma produced by NKT cells and NK cells. NK cell depletion resulted in significant but partial inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis in vivo. These results suggest that the IFN-gamma -mediated inhibition of tumor angiogenesis is critically involved in the effector mechanisms of antitumor effects evoked by alpha -GalCer.
