Inducible T-Cell Costimulator Ligand Plays a Dual Role in Melanoma Metastasis upon Binding to Osteopontin or Inducible T-Cell Costimulator.

ABSTRACT: Recently, we demonstrated that inducible T-cell costimulator (ICOS) shares its unique ligand (ICOSL) with osteopontin (OPN), and OPN/ICOSL binding promotes tumor metastasis and angiogenesis in the 4T1 breast cancer model. Literature showed that OPN promotes melanoma metastasis by suppressing T-cell activation and recruiting myeloid suppressor cells (MDSC). On the opposite, ICOS/ICOSL interaction usually sustains an antitumor response. Here, we engineered murine B16F10 melanoma cells, by transfecting or silencing ICOSL. In vitro data showed that loss of ICOSL favors anchorage-independent growth and induces more metastases in vivo, compared to ICOSL expressing cells. To dissect individual roles of the three molecules, we compared data from C57BL/6 with those from OPN-KO, ICOS-KO, and ICOSL-KO mice, missing one partner at a time. We found that OPN produced by the tumor microenvironment (TME) favors the metastasis by interacting with stromal ICOSL. This activity is dominantly inhibited by ICOS expressed on TME by promoting Treg expansion. Importantly, we also show that OPN and ICOSL highly interact in human melanoma metastases compared to primary tumors. Interfering with this binding may be explored in immunotherapy either for nonresponding or patients resistant to conventional therapies.

Project description:The liver capacity to recover from acute liver injury is a critical factor in the development of acute liver failure (ALF) caused by viral infections, ischemia/reperfusion or drug toxicity. Liver healing requires the switching of pro-inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages(MoMFs) to a reparative phenotype. However, the mechanisms involved are still incompletely characterized. In this study we investigated the contribution of T-lymphocyte/macrophage interaction through the co-stimulatory molecule Inducible T-cell co-stimulator (ICOS; CD278) and its ligand (ICOSL; CD275) in modulating liver repair. The role of ICOS/ICOSL dyad was investigated during the recovery from acute liver damage induced by a single dose of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Flow cytometry of non-parenchymal liver cells obtained from CCl4-treated wild-type mice revealed that the recovery from acute liver injury associated with a specific up-regulation of ICOS in CD8+ T-lymphocytes and with an increase in ICOSL expression involving CD11bhigh/F4-80+ hepatic MoMFs. Although ICOS deficiency did not influence the severity of liver damage and the evolution of inflammation, CCl4-treated ICOS knockout (ICOS-/- ) mice showed delayed clearance of liver necrosis and increased mortality. These animals were also characterized by a significant reduction of hepatic reparative MoMFs due to an increased rate of cell apoptosis. An impaired liver healing and loss of reparative MoMFs was similarly evident in ICOSL-deficient mice or following CD8+ T-cells ablation in wild-type mice. The loss of reparative MoMFs was prevented by supplementing CCl4-treated ICOS-/- mice with recombinant ICOS (ICOS-Fc) which also stimulated full recovery from liver injury. These data demonstrated that CD8+ T-lymphocytes play a key role in supporting the survival of reparative MoMFs during liver healing trough ICOS/ICOSL-mediated signaling. These observations open the possibility of targeting ICOS/ICOSL dyad as a novel tool for promoting efficient healing following acute liver injury.
