Small extracellular vesicles induce resistance to anti-GD2 immunotherapy unveiling tipifarnib as an adjunct to neuroblastoma immunotherapy
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We utilize the syngeneic 9464D-GD2 mouse model to investigate the role of neuroblastoma-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in developing resistance to the anti-GD2 monoclonal antibody dinutuximab. RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry analysis of whole tumors revealed that neuroblastoma-derived sEVs modulate immune cell tumor infiltration upon dinutuximab treatment to create an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment that contains more tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and fewer tumor-infiltrating NK cells. Importantly, tipifarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor that inhibits sEV secretion, drastically enhanced the efficacy of dinutuximab and reversed the immunosuppressive effects of neuroblastoma-derived sEVs.
