Tóm tắt

AbstractOne successful class of cancer immunotherapies, immune checkpoint inhibitory antibodies, disrupts key pathways that regulate immune checkpoints, such as cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen‐4 (CTLA‐4). These agents unleash the potency of antigen‐experienced T cells that have already been induced as a consequence of the existing tumor. But only 20% of cancers naturally induce T cells. For most cancers, vaccines are require to induce and mobilize T effector cells (Teffs) to traffick into tumors. We evaluated the effects of anti–CTLA‐4 given in combination with an antigen‐specific dendritic cell vaccine on intratumoral Teffs in a murine pancreatic cancer model. The dendritic cell–targeted tumor antigen plus anti–CTLA‐4 significantly increased the number of vaccine‐induced CD4+ Teffs within the tumor. This increase was accompanied by a reduction in the size of the peripheral CD4+ Teff pool. We also found that IL‐3 production by activated CD4+ T cells was significantly increased with this combination. Importantly, the CD4+ Teff response was attenuated in Il3−/− mice, suggesting mediation of the effect by IL‐3. Finally, the induced T cell infiltration was associated with activation of the tumor endothelium by T cell–derived IL‐3. Our findings collectively provide a new insight into the mechanism driving Teff infiltration and vascular activation in a murine pancreatic cancer model, specifically identifying a new role for IL‐3 in the anticancer immune response.
