Neutrophils promote the activation of monocytes via ROS to boost systemic antitumor immunity after cryo-thermal therapy
Frontiers in Immunology 2024 Nov
Abstract
BackgroundThe characteristics of the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment represent a major challenge that limits the efficacy of immunotherapy. Our previous results suggested that cryo-thermal therapy, a tumor ablation system developed in our laboratory, promotes macrophage M1-type polarization and the complete maturation of DCs to remodel the immunosuppressive environment. However, the cells that respond promptly to CTT have not yet been identified. CTT can cause extensive cell death and the release of danger-associated molecular patterns and antigens. Neutrophils are the first white blood cells recruited to sites of damage and acute inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesized that neutrophils are the initial cells that respond to CTT and are involved in the subsequent establishment of antitumor immunity.MethodsIn this study, we examined the kinetics of neutrophil recruitment after CTT via flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining and explored the effect of neutrophils on the establishment of systemic antitumor immunity by in vivo neutrophil depletion and in vitro co-culture assays.ResultsWe found that CTT led to a rapid and strong proinflammatory neutrophil response, which was essential for the long-term survival of mice. CTT-induced neutrophils promoted the activation of monocytes via reactive oxygen species and further upregulated the expression of IFN-γ and cytotoxic molecules in T and NK cells. Adoptive neutrophil transfer further enhanced the antitumor efficacy of CTT in tumor models of spontaneous and experimental metastasis.ConclusionThese results reveal the important role of neutrophil‒monocyte interactions in the development of anti-tumor immunity and highlight that CTT could be used as an immunotherapy for targeting neutrophils and monocytes to enhance antitumor immunity.
B7-H3 Suppresses Antitumor Immunity via the CCL2-CCR2-M2 Macrophage Axis and Contributes to Ovarian Cancer Progression.

Abstract
New approaches beyond PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition are required to target the immunologically diverse tumor microenvironment (TME) in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). In this study, we explored the immunosuppressive effect of B7-H3 (CD276) via the CCL2-CCR2-M2 macrophage axis and its potential as a therapeutic target. Transcriptome analysis revealed that B7-H3 is highly expressed in PD-L1-low, nonimmunoreactive HGSOC tumors, and its expression negatively correlated with an IFN$\gamma$ signature, which reflects the tumor immune reactivity. In syngeneic mouse models, B7-H3 (Cd276) knockout (KO) in tumor cells, but not in stromal cells, suppressed tumor progression, with a reduced number of M2 macrophages and an increased number of IFN$\gamma$+CD8+ T cells. CCL2 expression was downregulated in the B7-H3 KO tumor cell lines. Inhibition of the CCL2-CCR2 axis partly negated the effects of B7-H3 suppression on M2 macrophage migration and differentiation, and tumor progression. In patients with HGSOC, B7-H3 expression positively correlated with CCL2 expression and M2 macrophage abundance, and patients with B7-H3-high tumors had fewer tumoral IFN$\gamma$+CD8+ T cells and poorer prognosis than patients with B7-H3-low tumors. Thus, B7-H3 expression in tumor cells contributes to CCL2-CCR2-M2 macrophage axis-mediated immunosuppression and tumor progression. These findings provide new insights into the immunologic TME and could aid the development of new therapeutic approaches against the unfavorable HGSOC phenotype.
Activated NK cells reprogram MDSCs via NKG2D-NKG2DL and IFN-$\gamma$ to modulate antitumor T-cell response after cryo-thermal therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) can potently inhibit T-cell activity, promote growth and metastasis of tumor and contribute to resistance to immunotherapy. Targeting MDSCs to alleviate their protumor functions and immunosuppressive activities is intimately associated with cancer immunotherapy. Natural killer (NK) cells can engage in crosstalk with multiple myeloid cells to alter adaptive immune responses, triggering T-cell immunity. However, whether the NK-cell-MDSC interaction can modulate the T-cell immune response requires further study. Cryo-thermal therapy could induce the maturation of MDSCs by creating an acute inflammatory environment to elicit a CD4+ Th1-dominant immune response, but the mechanism regulating this process remains unclear. METHODS NK cells were depleted and NKG2D was blocked with monoclonal antibodies in vivo. MDSCs, NK cells and T cells were assessed by flow cytometry and isolated by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). MDSCs and NK cells were cocultured with T cells to determine their immunological function. The transcriptional profiles of MDSCs were measured by qRT-PCR and RNA-sequencing. Isolated NK cells and MDSCs by MACS were cocultured to study the viability and maturation of MDSCs regulated by NK cells. TIMER was used to comprehensively examine the immunological, clinical, and genomic features of tumors. RESULTS NK-cell activation after cryo-thermal therapy decreased MDSC accumulation and reprogrammed immunosuppressive MDSCs toward a mature phenotype to promote T cell antitumor immunity. Furthermore, we discovered that NK cells could kill MDSCs via the NKG2D-NKG2DL axis and promote MDSC maturation by interferon gamma (IFN-$\gamma$) in response to NKG2D. In addition, CD4+ Th1-dominant antitumor immune response was dependent on NKG2D, which promoted the major histocompatibility complex …¡ pathway of MDSCs. High activated NK-cell infiltration and NKG2D level in tumors were positively correlated with better clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Cryo-thermal therapy induces effective CD4+ Th1-dominant antitumor immunity by activating NK cells to reprogram MDSCs, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
