Abstract

Fibrocytes, a distinct population of collagen-producing, monocyte-derived cells, are involved in wound healing as well as fibrotic diseases. Recently, fibrocytes have been revealed to play a role in the tumor microenvironment, particularly under antiangiogenic therapy. In addition, combination cancer immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor and antiangiogenic agents have been developed for various cancers in the clinical setting, although the immunological background is not clear. In the current study, we aimed to determine the function of fibrocytes in tumor immunity induced by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Human and murine fibrocytes were generated from PBMCs and lungs, respectively. The expression of costimulatory and inhibitory molecules on fibrocytes was examined by flow cytometry. The stimulation of CD8 T cells by fibrocytes was examined in MLRs with a H-thymidine incorporation assay. Fibrocytes expressed CD80 and CD86 as a costimulatory molecule, and expressed PD-L1, but not PD-L2, as a coinhibitory molecule. Without any stimulation, fibrocytes strongly enhanced the proliferation of CD8 T cells in mice and humans. Treatment with anti-CD86 and -CD54 Abs inhibited the growth of CD8 T cells induced by fibrocytes. Anti-PD-L1 Ab further enhanced the proliferation of CD8 T cells, even in the OVA-specific MLR with OT-1Rag mice. Importantly, fibrocytes derived from PBMCs of patients with lung adenocarcinoma or murine MC38 tumors augmented the proliferation of CD8 T cells with PD-L1 blockade. These results suggest that fibrocytes infiltrating tumor sites may play a role in the antitumor immunity mediated by CD8 T cells when the activity is further enhanced by PD-L1/PD-1 blockade.

摘要

纤维细胞是一种产生胶原蛋白的、单核细胞衍生的细胞群体,参与伤口愈合和纤维化疾病。最近,纤维细胞被发现参与肿瘤微环境,特别是在抗血管生成治疗下。此外,免疫检查点抑制剂和抗血管生成药物联合癌症免疫疗法已在临床中用于治疗各种癌症,尽管免疫背景尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们旨在确定纤维细胞在免疫检查点抑制剂治疗诱导的肿瘤免疫中的作用。人纤维细胞和鼠纤维细胞分别从 PBMC 和肺中生成。通过流式细胞术检查纤维细胞上共刺激和抑制分子的表达。通过 H-胸腺嘧啶掺入测定在混合淋巴细胞反应 (MLR) 中检查纤维细胞对 CD8 T 细胞的刺激。纤维细胞表达 CD80 和 CD86 作为共刺激分子,表达 PD-L1,但不表达 PD-L2 作为共抑制分子。在没有任何刺激的情况下,纤维细胞强烈增强了小鼠和人类 CD8 T 细胞的增殖。用抗 CD86 和抗 CD54 Ab 处理抑制了纤维细胞诱导的 CD8 T 细胞的生长。抗 PD-L1 Ab 进一步增强了 CD8 T 细胞的增殖,即使在 OT-1Rag 小鼠的 OVA 特异性 MLR 中也是如此。重要的是,来自肺腺癌患者或鼠 MC38 肿瘤的 PBMC 衍生的纤维细胞增强了 PD-L1 阻断后 CD8 T 细胞的增殖。这些结果表明,当 PD-L1/PD-1 阻断进一步增强时,浸润肿瘤部位的纤维细胞可能在 CD8 T 细胞介导的抗肿瘤免疫中发挥作用。
