Popis: | The contribution of immune cells in soft tissue sarcomas (STS) is not completely known and understanding their role is very essential for employing immunotherapy strategies. Here, we show that murine fibrosarcoma-conditioned medium promoted total spleen cell proliferation but inhibited T cell responses to mitogenic and allo-antigen-mediated stimulation. This increased proliferation was found to be in B cells resulting in generation of Breg further leading to Treg population. This was found to be the same in vitro and in vivo. The phenotype of these B cells was CD19+CD81+CD27+CD25+PD-L1hi and they secreted both IL-10 and TGF-β. These tumor evoked Bregs (tBreg), when co-cultured with B depleted T cells, suppressed their proliferation in response to anti-CD3/CD28 stimulation. tBreg-induced suppression of T cell responses was not abrogated by the inhibition or neutralization of IL-10 but by the small molecule inhibitor of TGFβ Receptor type I, SB431542. While SB531542 per se was not cytotoxic to tumor cells, administration of SB431542 in tumor-bearing mice (TBM) significantly reduced the tumor burden. In addition, the treatment significantly reduced Treg cells and rescued proliferation of T cells in response to mitogen and allo-antigen. Collectively, our results identify that tumor evoked Breg cells mediate T cell immune suppression through TGFβ-mediated pathway and that targeting the Breg–Treg axis can be potentially used as an immunotherapy agent. |
