中文摘要

花生四烯酸通路参与多种癌症中的免疫抑制。我们此前发现,位于环氧合酶2(COX-2)下游的微粒体前列腺素E₂合酶1(mPGES-1)会限制黑色素瘤抗肿瘤免疫;此外,遗传性去除mPGES-1可特异性增强免疫检查点阻断疗法。本研究旨在区分mPGES-1与COX-2在肿瘤免疫中的作用,并评估mPGES-1抑制剂增强黑色素瘤免疫治疗的潜力。遗传敲除mPGES-1与敲除COX-2导致的前列腺素代谢物谱不同。在同基因小鼠模型中,mPGES-1缺陷细胞与COX-2缺陷细胞的致瘤性相似,尽管去除mPGES-1对抑制PGE₂合成的作用较弱,这提示可能存在PGE₂以外调节肿瘤免疫的因子。RNA测序分析显示,去除mPGES-1可降低胶原相关基因表达,这些基因与免疫抑制特征相关。在小鼠模型中,mPGES-1缺陷肿瘤的胶原减少;TIL(肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞)表型分析显示,与COX-2缺陷肿瘤相比,mPGES-1缺陷肿瘤中TIM3⁺耗竭CD8⁺ T细胞更少。mPGES-1抑制剂CAY10678增强抗PD-1治疗的效果,与选择性COX-2抑制剂塞来昔布相当。本研究表明,mPGES-1抑制剂通过减少胶原沉积和T细胞耗竭,可能成为增强黑色素瘤免疫治疗的有前景辅助药物。 意义:胶原是细胞外基质的主要成分,可能影响癌症进展中的肿瘤免疫微环境。本文显示mPGES-1在调节肿瘤免疫方面具有特异作用,与多种胶原相关基因相联系,并提出药理抑制mPGES-1可能有助于改善免疫检查点疗法。

UNLABELLED: The arachidonic acid pathway participates in immunosuppression in various types of cancer.

Our previous observation detailed that microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES-1), an enzyme downstream of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), limited antitumor immunity in melanoma; in addition, genetic depletion of mPGES-1 specifically enhanced immune checkpoint blockade therapy. The current study set out to distinguish the roles of mPGES-1 from those of COX-2 in tumor immunity and determine the potential of mPGES-1 inhibitors for reinforcing immunotherapy in melanoma. Genetic deletion of mPGES-1 showed different profiles of prostaglandin metabolites from that of COX-2 deletion.

In our syngeneic mouse model, mPGES-1-deficient cells exhibited similar tumorigenicity to that of COX-2-deficient cells, despite a lower ability to suppress PGE2 synthesis by mPGES-1 depletion, indicating the presence of factors other than PGE2 that are likely to regulate tumor immunity. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that mPGES-1 depletion reduced the expressions of collagen-related genes, which have been found to be associated with immunosuppressive signatures.

In our mouse model, collagen was reduced in mPGES-1-deficient tumors, and phenotypic analysis of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes indicated that mPGES-1-deficient tumors had fewer TIM3 + exhausted CD8 + T cells compared with COX-2-deficient tumors. CAY10678, an mPGES-1 inhibitor, was equivalent to celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, in reinforcing anti-PD-1 treatment.

Our study indicates that mPGES-1 inhibitors represent a promising adjuvant for immunotherapies in melanoma by reducing collagen deposition and T-cell exhaustion. SIGNIFICANCE: Collagen is a predominant component of the extracellular matrix that may influence the tumor immune microenvironment for cancer progression.

We present here that mPGES-1 has specific roles in regulating tumor immunity, associated with several collagen-related genes and propose that pharmacologic inhibition of mPGES-1 may hold therapeutic promise for improving immune checkpoint-based therapies.
