MDM2 inhibition enhances immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in melanoma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint therapy has improved outcome of patients with advanced melanoma, however the tumor becomes refractory in a large number of patients. Therefore, novel combination therapies that enhance anti-melanoma immunity are highly desirable. We studied the impact of MDM2 (mouse double minute 2) inhibition, leading to p53 activation, on response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in melanoma. MDM2 treatment caused upregulation of MHC II and IL-15 in melanoma cells in a p53 dependent manner. Survival of melanoma bearing mice improved upon combining anti-PD1 and MDM2 inhibition in vivo. Lack of IL-15Rα in T cells abrogated the beneficial effect of the combined treatment. This gene expression study was performed to determine potential effects of MDM2 inhibition on genes in the melanoma microenvironment.
