Resistance to cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/CDK6) inhibitors leads to treatment failure and disease progression in women with hormone receptorHER2 (HRHER2) breast cancer (BC). We delineated a hypoxia-sensitive, CCL2-dependent pathway recruiting interleukin-17A (IL-17A)-secreting γδ T cells to mouse HRHER2 BCs following CDK4/CDK6 inhibition, resulting in repolarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward an immunosuppressive CX3CR1 phenotype associated with resistance. Increased IL-17A signaling and intratumoral γδ T cell abundance positively correlated with advanced grade and/or reduced survival in two cohorts of individuals with HRHER2 BC. Circulating γδ T cells and plasma CCL2 levels negatively correlated with progression in an independent series of individuals with HRHER2 BC receiving CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors. Intratumoral γδ T cells were increased in post- versus pretreatment biopsies from individuals with HRHER2 BC relapsing on CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors. CX3CR1 TAMs had negative prognostic impact in women with HRHER2 BC receiving neoadjuvant PD-1 blockage and radiotherapy. Thus, γδ T cells and CX3XR1 TAMs may favor resistance to CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors in individuals with HRHER2 BC.
对细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶4/6(CDK4/CDK6)抑制剂产生耐药会导致激素受体阳性人表皮生长因子受体2阴性(HR⁺HER2⁻)乳腺癌(BC)女性患者的治疗失败和疾病进展。我们描绘了一条缺氧敏感、CC趋化因子配体2(CCL2)依赖性途径,该途径在CDK4/CDK6抑制后将分泌白细胞介素-17A(IL-17A)的γδT细胞募集到小鼠HR⁺HER2⁻BC中,导致肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAM)向与耐药相关的免疫抑制CX3CR1表型重新极化。在两组HR⁺HER2⁻BC患者中,IL-17A信号增加和肿瘤内γδT细胞丰度与高级别和/或生存率降低呈正相关。在接受CDK4/CDK6抑制剂治疗的HR⁺HER2⁻BC独立患者系列中,循环γδT细胞和血浆CCL2水平与疾病进展呈负相关。在因CDK4/CDK6抑制剂复发的HR⁺HER2⁻BC患者的治疗后与治疗前活检中,肿瘤内γδT细胞增加。CX3CR1⁺TAM对接受新辅助程序性死亡蛋白1(PD-1)阻断和放疗的HR⁺HER2⁻BC女性患者具有负面预后影响。因此,γδT细胞和CX3XR1⁺TAM可能有利于HR⁺HER2⁻BC患者对CDK4/CDK6抑制剂产生耐药。
