Abstrakt: Exosomes are bilayer lipid bodies and contain a variety of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, and so forth. Exosomes derived from solid tumors may play critical roles in tumor development and immune evasion. However, the underlying effects of tumor-derived exosomes on immune function in modulating intercellular crosstalk within the bone marrow niche during acute myeloid leukemia (AML) development and immune evasion remain largely elusive. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of AML-exos in AML immune evasion. First, we isolated tumor-derived exosomes from AML cells (AML-exos) and revealed the presence of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) protein in AML-exos. Next, we demonstrated that AML-exos can directly suppress the activation of natural killer (NK) cells and inhibit the cytotoxicity of NK cells, probably through activating the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 pathway. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of AML-exos on NK cells could be alleviated by either PD-L1 inhibitor or antagonist. In summary, we demonstrated that AML-exos possess a PD-L1-dependent tumor-promoting effect which may contribute to immune tolerance in antitumor therapy, but blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway may alleviate the tumor immunosuppression induced by AML-exos. Our findings in this study may offer a new immunotherapy strategy to cure AML.
