Figure 3 A, B, D, E, F. Tumor infiltrating T cells in Lenti-HPV-07-vaccinated mice.

ABSTRACT: C57BL/6 mice were engrafted s.c. with 1.10(6) TC-1 cells and injected with 1.10(9) TU of Lenti Ctrl or Lenti-HPV-07 (n = 7/group). Immune cells infiltrating the tumors were studied on day 11 post-vaccination.

Project description:Background & aimsImmune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy in many tumors. We investigated mechanisms of tumor resistance to inhibitors of programmed cell death-1 (PDCD1, also called PD-1) in mice with gastric cancer, and the role of its ligand, PD-L1.MethodsGastrin-deficient mice were given N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in drinking water along with Helicobacter felis to induce gastric tumor formation; we also performed studies with H/K-ATPase-hIL1B mice, which develop spontaneous gastric tumors at the antral-corpus junction and have parietal cells that constitutively secrete interleukin 1B. Mice were given injections of an antibody against PD-1 or an isotype control before tumors developed, or anti-PD-1 and 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, or an antibody against lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G (also called Gr-1), which depletes myeloid-derived suppressor cells [MDSCs]), after tumors developed. We generated knock-in mice that express PD-L1 specifically in the gastric epithelium or myeloid lineage.ResultsWhen given to gastrin-deficient mice before tumors grew, anti-PD-1 significantly reduced tumor size and increased tumor infiltration by T cells. However, anti-PD-1 alone did not have significant effects on established tumors in these mice. Neither early nor late anti-PD-1 administration reduced tumor growth in the presence of MDSCs in H/K-ATPase-hIL-1β mice. The combination of 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin reduced MDSCs, increased numbers of intra-tumor CD8+ T cells, and increased the response of tumors to anti-PD-1; however, this resulted in increased tumor expression of PD-L1. Expression of PD-L1 by tumor or immune cells increased gastric tumorigenesis in mice given MNU. Mice with gastric epithelial cells that expressed PD-L1 did not develop spontaneous tumors, but they developed more and larger tumors after administration of MNU and H felis, with accumulation of MDSCs.ConclusionsIn mouse models of gastric cancer, 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin reduce numbers of MDSCs to increase the effects of anti-PD-1, which promotes tumor infiltration by CD8+ T cells. However, these chemotherapeutic agents also induce expression of PD-L1 by tumor cells. Expression of PD-L1 by gastric epithelial cells increases tumorigenesis in response to MNU and H felis, and accumulation of MDSCs, which promote tumor progression. The timing and site of PD-L1 expression is therefore important in gastric tumorigenesis and should be considered in design of therapeutic regimens.
