中文摘要
我们研究了癌症相关间充质干细胞(CA-MSCs)对卵巢肿瘤免疫的影响。在患者样本中,CA-MSC的存在与肿瘤内CD8+ T细胞的存在呈负相关。使用免疫热小鼠卵巢癌模型,我们发现CA-MSCs通过分泌多种趋化因子(Ccl2、Cx3cl1和Tgf-β1),驱动CD8+ T细胞肿瘤免疫排斥,并降低对抗PD-L1免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)的反应,这些趋化因子招募免疫抑制性CD14+ Ly6C+ Cx3cr1+单核细胞,并将巨噬细胞极化为免疫抑制性Ccr2hi F4/80+ Cx3cr1+ CD206+表型。单核细胞和巨噬细胞均高表达转化生长因子诱导(Tgfbi)蛋白,该蛋白抑制NK细胞活性。Hedgehog抑制剂(HHi)治疗逆转了CA-MSC效应,减少髓系细胞的存在和Tgfbi的表达,增加肿瘤内NK细胞数量,并恢复对ICI治疗的反应。因此,CA-MSCs调节抗肿瘤免疫,CA-MSC hedgehog信号是癌症免疫治疗的重要靶点。

We investigated the impact of cancer-associated mesenchymal stem cells (CA-MSCs) on ovarian tumor immunity. In patient samples, CA-MSC presence inversely correlates with the presence of intratumoral CD8 + T cells. Using an immune hot mouse ovarian cancer model, we found that CA-MSCs drive CD8 + T cell tumor immune exclusion and reduce response to anti PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) via secretion of numerous chemokines (Ccl2, Cx3cl1, and Tgf- 1), which recruit immune-suppressive CD14 + Ly6C + Cx3cr1 + monocytic cells and polarize macrophages to an immune suppressive Ccr2 hi F4/80 + Cx3cr1 + CD206 + phenotype. Both monocytes and macrophages express high levels of transforming growth factor induced (Tgfbi) protein, which suppresses NK cell activity. Hedgehog inhibitor (HHi) therapy reversed CA-MSC effects, reducing myeloid cell presence and expression of Tgfbi, increasing intratumoral NK cell numbers, and restoring response to ICI therapy. Thus, CA-MSCs regulate antitumor immunity, and CA-MSC hedgehog signaling is an important target for cancer immunotherapy.
