The activity of a number of therapeutic antibodies is mediated in part by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). An engineered effector cell line expressing the low affinity Fc receptor, FcγR111a (CD16), that responds to ligation of the Fc moiety of antibody bound to the specific antigen expressed on target cells by activation of a NFAT responsive reporter gene is described. In this cell line the firefly luciferase (FL) reporter gene is regulated by a novel synthetic chimeric promoter containing binding sites for NF-AT, AP1, NFkB, and STAT5 that confers improved sensitivity, an improved dynamic range, an improved tolerance to human serum and a reduced incubation time, relative to engineered effector cell lines that express a NFAT regulated reporter-gene, when used in an ADCC assay together with engineered target cells. The target cells have been engineered to over-express a constant high level of the specific antigen recognized by the therapeutic antibody, and homologous control cells have been developed in which the gene encoding the specific drug target has been invalidated by genomic editing. Target cells that have been engineered to over-express a constant level of CD20 together with homologous control cell line, in which the gene encoding CD20 has been invalidated, have been used to quantify the ADCC activity of Rituxan with a high degree of precision and with minimal interference from human serum.

Cells are genetically modified to express a luminophore, e.g., a modified (F64L, S65T, Y66H) Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP, EGFP) coupled to a component of an intracellular signalling pathway such as a transcription factor, a cGMP- or cAMP-dependent protein kinase, a cyclin-, calmodulin- or phospholipid-dependent or mitogen-activated serine/threonin protein kinase, a tyrosine protein kinase, or a protein phosphatase (e.g. PKA, PKC, Erk, Smad, VASP, actin, p38, Jnk1, PKG, IkappaB, CDK2, Grk5, Zap70, p85, protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1C, Stat5, NFAT, NFkappaB, RhoA, PKB). An influence modulates the intracellular signalling pathway in such a way that the luminophore is being redistributed or translocated with the component in living cells in a manner experimentally determined to be correlated to the degree of the influence. Measurement of redistribution is performed by recording of light intensity, fluorescence lifetime, polarization, wavelength shift, resonance energy transfer, or other properties by an apparatus consisting of e.g. a fluorescence microscope and a CCD camera. Data stored as digital images are processed to numbers representing the degree of redistribution. The method can be used as a screening program for identifying a compound that modulates a component and is capable of treating a disease related to the function of the component.

The invention discloses application of an STAT3 inhibitor and an STAT5 activator in enhancing lethality of an NK (Natural Killer) cell to a tumor cell. Persons skilled in the art know that by inhibiting STAT3 in a tumor microenvironment, the killing function of immune cells such as NK cells to tumor can be promoted; STAT5 is capable of promoting both growth and development of tumor cells and development and cell toxicity of the NK cells, and by inhibiting STAT5 levels of the NK cells, not only are normal functions of the NK cells damaged, but also growth of tumor can be promoted, so that promotion of expression of STAT5 in the NK cells is beneficial to treatment on tumor. The invention finds that Flexilarin F or Flexilarin G can be used as an STAT3 inhibitor and an STAT5 activator, and byinhibiting expression of STAT3 and activating expression of STAT 5 with the Flexilarin F or Flexilarin G, the lethality of the NK cell to the tumor cell can be improved, and by contrast, diterpene Lobocrassin E has no such function.
