Human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) electroporated with RNA encoding anti-Her-2/neu-specific chimeric immune receptor (CIR) have been reported to elicit potent immune responses against SKOV3 tumors in a nude mouse model. However, CIR-electroporated PBL (CIR-PBL) did not proliferate, and the cell number rapidly decreased in the absence of exogenous interleukin-2 (IL-2). In this study, PBLs electroporated with both CIR and IL-2 RNA (CIR/IL-2-PBL) were studied to determine whether antitumor effects could be improved by adoptive immunotherapy. CIR and IL-2 were expressed in CIR/IL-2-PBL at levels similar to PBLs electroporated, with IL-2 RNA (IL-2-PBL) or CIR-PBL. Transfer of IL-2 RNA induced proliferation and prolonged survival of PBLs in vitro. In a xenograft model, both IL-2-PBL and CIR/IL-2-PBL showed significantly higher antitumor effects than CIR-PBL. The number of tumor-infiltrating natural killer (NK) cells was significantly increased in IL-2-PBL and CIR/IL-2-PBL. After NK cell depletion, IL-2-PBL showed significantly lower antitumor effects than CIR/IL-2-PBL. These results suggest that transfer of IL-2 RNA to CIR-PBL can promote NK cell infiltration of tumors and prolong survival of infused PBLs in vivo. RNA electroporated PBLs may represent efficient tools for delivery of functional molecules to tumors by multiple gene transfer.
