Dendritic Cells Stimulate the Expansion of bcr-abl Specific CD8+ T Cells With Cytotoxic Activity Against Leukemic Cells From Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

The role of T lymphocytes in the control of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) after bone marrow transplantations has been clearly shown. This effect closely correlates with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). A specific graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect separate from GVHD has been postulated but has been difficult to show. One possible target for specific GVL activity is the bcr-abl fusion protein characteristic of CML. We have investigated the use of normal peptide-pulsed dendritic cells for the generation of cytotoxic, bcr-abl-specific T cells from normal donors. T cells (CD3+, CD8+, TCRalpha beta +, and NK receptor-negative) generated from a normal donor (HLA A24, B52, B59, Cw1) after stimulation with autologous dendritic cells, primed with a 16 mer peptide spanning the b3a2 breakpoint of bcr-abl, lysed CML cells from the peripheral blood of seven patients with CML with the b3a2 breakpoint. CML cells from four patients with only the b2a2 breakpoint were not lysed. Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) blasts derived from peripheral blood of patients with CML were not lysed, suggesting that cytotoxicity was not due to alloreactivity. Blocking experiments with anti-HLA-A,B,C indicated that cytotoxicity was dependent on recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, although cytotoxicity was not MHC-restricted because not all patients shared HLA types with the T-cell donor. Specificity for bcr-abl and absence of alloreactivity was confirmed by the presence of lytic activity against autologous and allogeneic class I HLA-A matched monocytes pulsed with the 16 mer bcr-abl fusion peptide, but not against unpulsed monocytes or monocytes pulsed with other peptides. These results show that bcr-abl-specific T cells with marked cytotoxic activity against CML cells can be generated and amplified from normal donor peripheral blood. Recognition of HLA molecules is essential for cytotoxicity but strict HLA identity is not required.
