中文摘要
T H 2细胞和2型固有淋巴样细胞(ILC2)可通过分泌促肿瘤细胞因子如白细胞介素-4(IL-4)、IL-5和IL-13来刺激肿瘤生长。然而,2型免疫细胞向肿瘤微环境迁移的机制尚不清楚。在此,我们发现致癌性Kras G12D增加胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)细胞中IL-33的表达,从而招募并激活T H 2和ILC2细胞。相应地,癌细胞特异性敲除IL-33可减少T H 2和ILC2的招募并促进肿瘤消退。出乎意料的是,IL-33的分泌依赖于瘤内真菌微生物组。基因敲除IL-33或抗真菌治疗可减少T H 2和ILC2浸润并提高生存率。一致地,在约20%的人类PDAC中观察到高IL-33表达,且表达主要局限于癌细胞。这些数据拓展了我们对驱动PDAC肿瘤进展机制的认识,并确定了涉及瘤内微生物组驱动的IL-33分泌的可治疗靶向通路。

T H 2 cells and innate lymphoid cells 2 (ILC2) can stimulate tumor growth by secreting pro-tumorigenic cytokines such as interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-5, and IL-13.
However, the mechanisms by which type 2 immune cells traffic to the tumor microenvironment are unknown.
Here, we show that oncogenic Kras G12D increases IL-33 expression in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, which recruits and activates T H 2 and ILC2 cells. Correspondingly, cancer-cell-specific deletion of IL-33 reduces T H 2 and ILC2 recruitment and promotes tumor regression. Unexpectedly, IL-33 secretion is dependent on the intratumoral fungal mycobiome.
Genetic deletion of IL-33 or anti-fungal treatment decreases T H 2 and ILC2 infiltration and increases survival. Consistently, high IL-33 expression is observed in approximately 20% of human PDAC, and expression is mainly restricted to cancer cells. These data expand our knowledge of the mechanisms driving PDAC tumor progression and identify therapeutically targetable pathways involving intratumoral mycobiome-driven secretion of IL-33.
