Nutrient deprivation and hypoxia alter T cell immune checkpoint expression: potential impact for immunotherapy
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract Aim Use of immune checkpoint blockade to enhance T cell-mediated immunity within the hostile tumour microenvironment (TME) is an attractive approach in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC). This study explored the effects of the hostile TME, including nutrient deprivation and hypoxia, on immune checkpoint (IC) expression and T cell phenotypes, and the potential use of nivolumab to enhance T cell function under such conditions. Methods and Results ICs were upregulated on stromal immune cells within the tumour including PD-L2, CTLA-4 and TIGIT. OAC patient-derived PBMCs co-cultured with OE33 OAC cells upregulated LAG-3 and downregulated the co-stimulatory marker CD27 on T cells, highlighting the direct immunosuppressive effects of tumour cells on T cells. Hypoxia and nutrient deprivation altered the secretome of OAC patient-derived PBMCs, which induced upregulation of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on OE33 OAC cells thus enhancing an immune-resistant phenotype. Importantly, culturing OAC patient-derived PBMCs under dual hypoxia and glucose deprivation, reflective of the conditions within the hostile TME, upregulated an array of ICs on the surface of T cells including PD-1, CTLA-4, A2aR, PD-L1 and PD-L2 and decreased expression of IFN-γ by T cells. Addition of nivolumab under these hostile conditions decreased the production of pro-tumorigenic cytokine IL-10. Conclusion Collectively, these findings highlight the immunosuppressive crosstalk between tumour cells and T cells within the OAC TME. The ability of nivolumab to suppress pro-tumorigenic T cell phenotypes within the hostile TME supports a rationale for the use of immune checkpoint blockade to promote anti-tumour immunity in OAC. Graphical abstract Study schematic: (A) IC expression profiles were assessed on CD45 + cells in peripheral whole blood and infiltrating tumour tissue from OAC patients in the treatment-naïve setting. (B) PBMCs were isolated from OAC patients and expanded ex vivo for 5 days using anti-CD3/28 + IL-2 T cell activation protocol and then co-cultured for 48 h with OE33 cells. T cell phenotypes were then assessed by flow cytometry. (C) PBMCs were isolated from OAC patients and expanded ex vivo for 5 days using anti-CD3/28 + IL-2 T cell activation protocol and then further cultured under conditions of nutrient deprivation or hypoxia for 48 h and T cell phenotypes were then assessed by flow cytometry. Key findings: (A) TIGIT, CTLA-4 and PD-L2 were upregulated on CD45 + immune cells and CTLA-4 expression on CD45 + cells correlated with a subsequent decreased response to neoadjuvant regimen. (B) Following a 48 h co-culture with OE33 cells, T cells upregulated LAG-3 and decreased CD27 co-stimulatory marker. (C) Nutrient deprivation and hypoxia upregulated a range of ICs on T cells and decreased IFN-γ production by T cells. Nivolumab decreased IL-10 production by T cells under nutrient deprivation-hypoxic conditions.
