Natural autoantibodies against CD47 may serve as a potential agent for immunotherapy of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Objectives Natural autoantibodies serve as an important anti-tumorigenic component in the body. This study was thus designed to investigate whether circulating natural IgG autoantibodies against a cluster of differentiation 47 (CD47) could exert inhibitory effects on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Subjects and methods The expression levels of 13 tumor-targeted genes in three OSCC cell lines were analyzed by qPCR, and CD47 expression in OSCC tissues was also verified with IHC staining. An in-house ELISA was performed to analyze circulating anti-CD47 IgG levels in control subjects, oral benign tumor, and OSCC patients, and to detect anti-CD47 IgG-abundant plasma. Three OSCC cell lines were treated with anti-CD47 IgG-abundant and -deficient plasma, respectively, followed by the analysis of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion/metastasis. Results The CD47 gene showed the highest expression among 13 genes detected in three OSCC cell lines; its expression was significantly higher in OSCC tissues than adjacent tissues. Plasma anti-CD47 IgG levels showed the differences between control subjects, oral benign tumor, and OSCC patients. Anti-CD47 IgG-abundant plasma could evidently reduce cell viability via suppressing p-AKT expression and inducing cell apoptosis and inhibit the invasion of all three OSCC cell lines. Conclusions Natural autoantibodies against CD47 may be a potential agent for OSCC immunotherapy.
