Mouse spleen cyclophosphamide treated vs untreated

ABSTRACT: Analysis the effect of cyclophosphamide on splenocytes gene expression. Certain chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy because of their capacity to modulate innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, it has been argued that this capacity may be more significant to chemotherapeutic efficacy in general than is presently appreciated. To gain insights into the core mechanisms of chemoimmunotherapy, we methodically profiled the effects of cyclophosphamide on gene expression in bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood, and on cytokine expression in plasma and bone marrow of tumor-bearing mice. Gene and protein expression were modulated early and transiently by cyclophosphamide, leading to upregulation of a variety of immunomodulatory factors, including danger signals, pattern recognition receptors, inflammatory mediators, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and chemokine receptors. These factors are involved in sensing cyclophosphamide myelotoxicity and activating repair mechanisms, which, in turn, stimulate immunoactivation events that promote efficacy. In particular, cyclophosphamide induced a T helper 17 (Th17)-related gene signature associated with an increase in Th17, Th1 and activated CD25+CD4+Foxp3- T lymphocytes and a slight recovery of regulatory T-cells. By analyzing gene and protein expression kinetics and their relationship to the antitumor efficacy of different therapeutic schedules of combination, we determined that optimal timing for performing adoptive immunotherapy is approximately 1 day after cyclophosphamide treatment. Together, our findings highlight factors that may propel the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy, offering a mechanistic glimpse of the important immune modulatory effects of cyclophosphamide Four-condition experiment, Untreated mice - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 1 day - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 2 days - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 5 days. Biological replicates: 5, controls: 5, independently harvested. Two replicates per array.

Project description:Certain anticancer drugs, particularly cyclophosphamide (CTX), were shown to enhance the antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy through different immunomodulatory mechanisms. A better understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of CTX-mediated immunomodulation is needed to improve the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy. Transcript profiling and flow cytometry were used to explore CTX immune-enhancing activity in patients with hematologic malignancies. A single high-dose treatment quickly (1-2 days) induced an extensive transcriptional modulation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, leading to the reduction of cell cycle and biosynthetic/metabolic processes and to the augmentation of transcripts related to DNA damage and cell death (p53 signaling pathway, CDKN1A, CCND3, BAX, BBC3, BID, DDB2, SESN2), of scavenger receptors involved in the recognition of death (MARCO, CD68, CD163L1, SCARB2), of antigen processing/presentation mediators (CIITA, CTSC, CTSL1, CTSZ, GLA, GAA, TPP1, NEU1, SLC11A1, LAMP-2), of T cell activation markers (CD69, OX40) and, noticeably, of a type I interferon (IFN-I) signature (OAS1, CXCL10, BAFF, IFITM2, IFI6, IRF5, IRF7, STAT2, UBE2L6, UNC93B1, ISG20L1, TYK2). Moreover, the plasma levels of IFN-I-induced proinflammatory mediators (CXCL10, CCL2, IL-8, BAFF) were increased by treatment. Accordingly, CTX preconditioning induced both monocyte and lymphocyte activation, leading to the expansion of CD14+CD16+ monocytes, of HLA-DR+, IL8RA+, MARCO+ monocytes/dendritic cells and of CD69+, OX40+, IL8RA+ lymphocytes. Altogether, these data define for the first time the immunomodulatory factors induced by CTX in humans and indicate that preconditioning chemotherapy may stimulate immunity as a consequence of danger perception associated to its cytotoxic action on blood cells, through p53 and IFN-I-related mechanisms. Four-condition experiment, Untreated (10 Biological replicates) - Cyclophosphamide-treated 1 day (10 Biological replicates) - Cyclophosphamide-treated 2 days (8 Biological replicates) - Cyclophosphamide-treated 5 days (5 Biological replicates). Each sample labeled with Cy5 and co-hybridized with Cy3-labeled M-bM-^@M-^\referenceM-bM-^@M-^] aRNA. One replicate per array.
