An immunosuppressive microenvironment in lung concurs to pre-malignant lesions progression to cancer. Here, we explore if perturbing lung microbiota, which contribute to immunosuppression, by antibiotics or probiotic aerosol interferes with lung cancer development in a mouse carcinogen-induced tumor model. Urethane-injected mice were vancomycin/neomycin (V/N)-aerosolized or live or dead ()-aerosolized, and tumor development was evaluated. Transcriptional profiling of lungs and IHC were performed. Tumor nodules number, diameter and area were reduced by live or heat-killed , while only a decrease in nodule diameter was observed in V/N-treated lungs. Both and V/N reduced Tregs in the lung. In -treated groups, the gene encoding the joining chain (J chain) of immunoglobulins was increased, and higher J chain protein and IgA levels were observed. An increased infiltration of B, NK and myeloid-derived cells was predicted by TIMER 2.0. The Kaplan-Meier plotter revealed an association between high levels of J chain mRNA and good prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients that correlated with increased B and CD4 T cells and reduced Tregs and M2 macrophages. This study highlights aerosol efficacy in impairing lung cancer growth by promoting local immunity and points to this non-invasive strategy to treat individuals at risk of lung cancer.
肺部的免疫抑制微环境促使癌前病变进展为癌症。在这里,我们探讨了通过抗生素或益生菌气溶胶来干扰肺部微生物群(有助于免疫抑制)是否会干扰致癌剂诱导的小鼠肺癌发生模型中的肺癌发展。对注射脲烷的小鼠进行万古霉素/新霉素(V/N)气溶胶化或活菌或死菌()气溶胶化,并评估肿瘤的发展情况。对肺部进行转录谱分析和免疫组化分析。活菌或热灭活菌减少了肿瘤结节的数量、直径和面积,而 V/N 处理的肺部仅观察到结节直径减小。和 V/N 都减少了肺部中的 Tregs。在治疗组中,编码免疫球蛋白连接链(J 链)的基因增加,并且观察到 J 链蛋白和 IgA 水平升高。TIMER 2.0 预测 B、NK 和髓样来源细胞的浸润增加。Kaplan-Meier 绘图器显示 J 链 mRNA 水平高与肺腺癌患者的良好预后相关,这与 B 和 CD4 T 细胞增加以及 Tregs 和 M2 巨噬细胞减少有关。这项研究强调了通过促进局部免疫来破坏肺癌生长的气溶胶的功效,并指出了这种非侵入性策略可用于治疗有患肺癌风险的个体。
