Abstract：
UNLABELLED:The aim of this study wsa to evaluate the additive effect of valproic acid (VPA) to γδ T-cell cytotoxicity against bladder cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Human bladder cancer cell lines TCCSUP and 253J were treated with VPA and mRNA expression of natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) ligands was determined. The antitumour effect of expanded γδ T-cells against zoledronic acid (ZOL) and VPA pre-treated cancer cells was subsequently determined. RESULTS:VPA increased mRNA expression of NKG2D ligands on both cancer cell types. A blocking study revealed that 253J cells were recognised through NKG2D, while TCCSUP cells were mainly recognised through γδ T-cell receptor. VPA pre-treatment increased sensitivity to cytolysis by γδ T-cells for both cancer cell types, whereas ZOL pre-treatment was only effective against TCCSUP. CONCLUSION:Induction of NKG2D ligands by VPA increased the susceptibility of cancer cells that are recognised by NKG2D to cytolysis by γδ T-cells.
