An HLA-Presented Fragment of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Is a Therapeutic Target for Invasive Breast Cancer

Abstract: This report describes a novel HLA/peptide complex with potential prognostic and therapeutic roles for invasive breast cancer. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) mediates inflammation and immunity, and MIF overexpression is observed in breast cancer. We hypothesized that the HLA class I of cancerous breast epithelial cells would present MIF-derived peptides. Consistent with this hypothesis, the peptide FLSELTQQL (MIF19–27) was eluted from the HLA-A*0201 (HLA-A2) of breast cancer cell lines. We posited… Show more

“…The ethnopharmacological exploration and bioactivity testing of various neem compounds and extracts revealed its efficacy to prevent a wide variety of inflammatory disorders in infectious and non-infectious diseases (34, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. It is interesting to note that neem compounds show a beneficial effect in pathological conditions in which MIF-mediated pathologies are prevalent (6,10,11,14,16,17,21).…”

“…RL21A is specific for the FLSL/HLA monomer with little cross reactivity with other peptide/HLA complexes 3 . This specificity is recapitulated using the label-free bioassay system (Figure 4).…”

“…A representative set of experiments was performed using the well-characterized TCRm, RL21A, a murine IgG2a monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes a peptide (MIF 19-27 or FLSL) within the context of the HLA-A*02:01 molecule 3 . The cognate peptide/HLA monomer, as well as irrelevant HLA monomer 15 , was used to demonstrate the described procedure.…”

“…20,21 Interestingly, TCR-like antibodies engage their specific target and become internalized over a short period of time, 16,22 but we have not previously focused on the killing potential of TCR-like antibodies conjugated to toxins or small molecule drugs. To initially assess cytotoxicity, the TCR-like antibodies YLL-Ab and FLS-Ab (Supplementary Table 1) were indirectly labeled with the ribosomal inhibiting protein saporin (see Materials and Methods) and incubated alongside breast (MDA-MB-231 (Fig.…”
