Evasion of antitumor immunity and resistance to therapies in solid tumors are aided by an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). We found that TME factors, such as regulatory T cells and adenosine, downregulated type I interferon receptor IFNAR1 on CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). These events relied upon poly-ADP ribose polymerase-11 (PARP11), which was induced in intratumoral CTLs and acted as a key regulator of the immunosuppressive TME. Ablation of PARP11 prevented loss of IFNAR1, increased CTL tumoricidal activity and inhibited tumor growth in an IFNAR1-dependent manner. Accordingly, genetic or pharmacologic inactivation of PARP11 augmented the therapeutic benefits of chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Chimeric antigen receptor CTLs engineered to inactivate PARP11 demonstrated a superior efficacy against solid tumors. These findings highlight the role of PARP11 in the immunosuppressive TME and provide a proof of principle for targeting this pathway to optimize immune therapies.
肿瘤微环境(TME)有助于肿瘤的抗肿瘤免疫逃逸和对治疗的耐药性。我们发现,TME 因子,如调节性 T 细胞和腺苷,下调了 CD8 细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞(CTL)上的 I 型干扰素受体 IFNAR1。这些事件依赖于聚 ADP 核糖聚合酶 11(PARP11),PARP11 在肿瘤内 CTL 中被诱导,并作为免疫抑制性 TME 的关键调节剂。PARP11 的缺失可防止 IFNAR1 的丢失,增加 CTL 的肿瘤杀伤活性,并以 IFNAR1 依赖的方式抑制肿瘤生长。因此,PARP11 的遗传或药理学失活增强了嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞的治疗益处。PARP11 失活的嵌合抗原受体 CTL 对实体瘤显示出更好的疗效。这些发现强调了 PARP11 在免疫抑制性 TME 中的作用,并为靶向该途径以优化免疫治疗提供了原理证明。
