Antibodies targeting CTLA-4 have been successfully used as cancer immunotherapy. We find that the antitumor effects of CTLA-4 blockade depend on distinct Bacteroides species. In mice and patients, T cell responses specific for B. thetaiotaomicron or B. fragilis were associated with the efficacy of CTLA-4 blockade. Tumors in antibiotic-treated or germ-free mice did not respond to CTLA blockade. This defect was overcome by gavage with B. fragilis, by immunization with B. fragilis polysaccharides, or by adoptive transfer of B. fragilis-specific T cells. Fecal microbial transplantation from humans to mice confirmed that treatment of melanoma patients with antibodies against CTLA-4 favored the outgrowth of B. fragilis with anticancer properties. This study reveals a key role for Bacteroidales in the immunostimulatory effects of CTLA-4 blockade.
靶向细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关抗原4(CTLA-4)的抗体已成功用作癌症免疫疗法。我们发现,CTLA-4阻断的抗肿瘤作用取决于不同的拟杆菌种类。在小鼠和患者中,针对嗜热栖热菌或脆弱拟杆菌的T细胞反应与CTLA-4阻断的疗效相关。抗生素处理过的或无菌小鼠的肿瘤对CTLA阻断无反应。通过用脆弱拟杆菌灌胃、用脆弱拟杆菌多糖免疫或通过过继转移脆弱拟杆菌特异性T细胞可克服这一缺陷。从人类到小鼠的粪便微生物移植证实,用抗CTLA-4抗体治疗黑色素瘤患者有利于具有抗癌特性的脆弱拟杆菌生长。这项研究揭示了拟杆菌目在CTLA-4阻断的免疫刺激作用中的关键作用。
