Role of CXCR3 Ligands in IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc–Mediated Antitumor Activity in Lung Cancer Clinical Cancer Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Research Role of CXCR3 Ligands in IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc–Mediated Antitumor Activity in Lung Cancer Asa Andersson1, Minu K. Srivastava1, Marni Harris-White3,4, Min Huang1,2,4, Li Zhu1,2,4, David Elashoff1, Robert M. Strieter5, Steven M. Dubinett1,2,4, and Sherven Sharma1,2,4 Abstract Purpose: We evaluated the utility of chimeric gc homeostatic cytokine, IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc, to restore host APC (antigen presenting cell) and T cell activities in lung cancer. Experimental Design: Utilizing murine lung cancer models we determined the antitumor efficacy of IL- 7/IL-7Ra-Fc. APC, T cell, cytokine analyses, neutralization of CXCL9, CXCL10, and IFNg were carried out to evaluate the mechanistic differences in the antitumor activity of IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc in comparison to controls. Results: IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc administration inhibited tumor growth and increased survival in lung cancer. Accompanying the tumor growth inhibition were increases in APC and T cell activities. In comparison to controls, IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc treatment of tumor bearing mice led to increased: (i) levels of CXCL9, CXCL10, IFNg, IL-12 but reduced IL-10 and TGFb, (ii) tumor macrophage infiltrates characteristic of M1 phenotype with increased IL-12, iNOS but reduced IL-10 and arginase, (iii) frequencies of T and NK cells, (iv) T cell activation markers CXCR3, CD69 and CD127low, (v) effector memory T cells, and (vi) T cell cytolytic activity against parental tumor cells. IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc treatment abrogated the tumor induced reduction in splenic functional APC activity to T responder cells. The CXCR3 ligands played an important role in IL-7/IL- 7Ra-Fc–mediated antitumor activity. Neutralization of CXCL9, CXCL10, or IFNg reduced CXCR3 expres- sing activated T cells infiltrating the tumor and abrogated IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc–mediated tumor growth inhibition. Conclusions: Our findings show that IL-7/IL-7Ra-Fc promotes afferent and efferent antitumor responses in lung cancer. Clin Cancer Res; 17(11); 3660–72. Ó2011 AACR.

Donnelly, Airway Disease, National Heart and Lung Institute, Dovehouse Street, London, SW3 6LY, UK. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients exhibit chronic inflammation, both in the lung parenchyma and the airways, which is characterised by an increased infiltration of macrophages and T-lymphocytes, particularly CD8+ cells. Both cell types can express chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)3 and C-C chemokine receptor 5 and the relevant chemokines for these receptors are elevated in COPD. The aim of this study was to compare chemotactic responses of lymphocytes and monocytes of nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients towards CXCR3 ligands and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL)5. Migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, monocytes and lymphocytes from nonsmokers, smokers and COPD patients toward CXCR3 chemokines and CCL5 was analysed using chemotaxis assays. There was increased migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from COPD patients towards all chemokines studied when compared with nonsmokers and smokers. Both lymphocytes and monocytes contributed to this enhanced response, which was not explained by increased receptor expression.

  • Cytokines (CCL25)
    Mouse Recombinant TECK Cytokines (CCL25) Thymus-expressed chemokine Catalog # 78180 5 μg 78180.1 25 μg Product Description Thymus-expressed chemokine (TECK), or CCL25, is a member of the CC family of chemokines that regulates the movement of lymphocytes in the thymus and in the small intestine. TECK induces chemoattraction by binding the chemokine receptor CCR9, which is expressed on immature pre-T cells and thymocytes (Youn et al.; Uehara et al.). In the thymus, TECK is produced by stromal cells, whereas in the small intestine TECK is primarily produced by epithelial cells (Vicari et al.; Bowman et al.; Kunkel et al.). CCR9 is a G protein-coupled receptor and is expressed on most thymocytes, but not on natural killer cells, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils (Wu et al). In Jurkat cells, binding of TECK to CCL9 has been shown to increase levels of intracellular calcium (Cheng-Rong et al). TECK/CCR9 signaling has also been linked to many cancers, as these molecules have been shown to mediate anti-apoptotic processes by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, weakening the effect of cytotoxic T cells by regulating STAT signaling. Additionally, TECK induces metastasis by increasing the expression of MMP2 and MMP9 (Tu et al.).

T-helper 2 (Th2) cells were expected to be involved in the underlying immune mech- anism, although this is still controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of CXCR6, a chemokine receptor that marks functionally specialized T-cells within the Th1 and T-cyto- toxic 1 (Tc1) cell pool, to gain new insights into the running immune processes. Methods: CXCR6 expression was examined on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and thyroid- derived lymphocytes (TLs) of GD patients in flow cytometry. CXCR6 cDNA was quantified in thyroid tissues affected by GD (n ¼ 16), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT; n ¼ 2) and thyroid autonomy (TA; n ¼ 11) using real-time reverse transcriptase PCR. Results: The percentages of peripheral CXCR6þ PBLs did not differ between GD and normal subjects. CXCR6 was expressed by small subsets of circulating T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. CXCR6þ cells were enriched in thyroid-derived T-cells compared with peripheral CD4þ and CD8þ T-cells in GD. The increase was evident within the Th1 (CD4þ interferon-gþ (IFN-gþ)) and Tc1 (CD8þIFN- gþ) subpopulation and CD8þ granzyme Aþ T-cells (cytotoxic effector type).

Some studies have suggested that blocking the interaction between the chemokine CXCL10 and its receptor CXCR3 on activated CTL potently inhibits their recruitment and prevents beta cell death. Since recent studies on human pancreata from T1D patients have indicated that both ligand and receptor are abundantly present, we reevaluated whether their interaction constitutes a pivotal node within the chemokine network associated with T1D. Our present data in a viral mouse model challenge the notion that specific blockade of the CXCL10/CXCR3 chemokine axis halts T1D onset and progression.

Simple Summary: The immune response against cancer is generated by effector T cells, among them cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that destroy cancer cells and helper CD4+ T cells that mediate and support the immune response. This antitumor function of T cells is tightly regulated by a particular subset of CD4+ T cells, named regulatory T cells (Tregs), through different mechanisms. Even if the complete inhibition of Tregs would be extremely harmful due to their tolerogenic role in impeding autoimmune diseases in the periphery, the targeted blockade of their accumulation at tumor sites or their targeted Citation: Cinier, J.; Hubert, M.; depletion represent a major therapeutic challenge. This review focuses on the mechanisms favoring Besson, L.; Di Roio, A.; Rodriguez, C.; Treg recruitment, expansion and stabilization in the tumor microenvironment and the therapeutic Lombardi, V.; Caux, C.; strategies developed to block these mechanisms.
