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