中文摘要
肾细胞癌(RCC)具有免疫抑制性肿瘤微环境及异常VEGF介导的血管生成,因此恶性程度高且对标准治疗耐药。为克服这些治疗局限,我们评估了一种共表达白细胞介素12(IL-12)和针对VEGF的短发夹RNA(shVEGF)的溶瘤腺病毒(oAd)联合免疫检查点抑制剂(ICI)的治疗效果。oAd/IL12/shVEGF可在体外及三维生物打印模型中诱导RCC特异性癌细胞死亡,抗肿瘤作用强于oAd-GMCSF;此外,该方案在RCC原位肿瘤模型中增强了抗肿瘤疗效。oAd/IL12/shVEGF联合抗PD-1所产生的强效抗肿瘤作用,归因于CD4+或CD8+ T细胞及NK细胞介导的抗肿瘤免疫反应,以及对肿瘤相关新生血管的有效抑制。总体而言,oAd/IL12/shVEGF可能是一种有力策略,可通过将免疫冷肿瘤微环境转化为炎症活化状态,使难治性肿瘤对ICI敏感,从而克服传统RCC治疗的现有限制。

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been known as highly malignant and resistant to standard therapy due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and aberrant VEGF-mediated angiogenesis. To overcome these therapeutic limitations, here we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of an oncolytic adenovirus (oAd) co-expressing Interleukin-12 (IL-12) and a short hairpin RNA against VEGF (shVEGF) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). The oAd/IL12/shVEGF induced RCC-specific cancer cell death in vitro and 3D bioprinted model, leading to greater anti-tumor effect compared with oAd-GMCSF. Furthermore, it potentiates anti-tumor efficacy in RCC orthotopic tumor model. The potent antitumor effect induced by combination of oAd/IL12/shVEGF with anti-PD1 was due to CD4 + or CD8 + T cell- or NK cell-mediated antitumor immune response and effective inhibition of tumor-associated neovascularization. Collectively, oAd/IL12/shVEGF can be a potent strategy to overcome current limitations in conventional RCC therapy by converting the cold tumor microenvironment to an inflamed state to sensitize refractory tumors to ICIs.
