Abstrakt: Objective: Up-regulating programmed cell death ligand-1(PD-L1) expressed on tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells interacting with up-regulated programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) expressed on tumor-infiltrating lymphoid cells greatly hinder their tumor-inhibiting effect. It is necessary to explore the deep mechanism of this negative effect, so as to find the potential methods to improve the immunotherapy efficiency.
Methods and Results: In this study, we found that the PD-1 expression in lung cancer-infiltrating type II innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) was highly up-regulated, which greatly restrained the activation and function of ILC2s. Furthermore, anti-PD-1 could restore the inhibition and effective cytokine secretion of ILC2s when co-cultured with tumor cells. In vivo studies proved that anti-PD-1 treatment promoted the activation of tumor-infiltrating ILC2s and inhibited the tumor growth of LLC-bearing nude mice.
Discussion: Our studies demonstrate a new PD-1/PD-L1 axis regulating mechanism on innate immune cells, which provide a useful direction to ILC2s-based immunotherapy to cancer diseases.
