Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
The journal Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology is devoted to pre-clinical and clinical drug discovery and development targeting the immune system. Research related to the immunoregulatory effects of various compounds, including small-molecule drugs and biologics, on immunocompetent cells and immune responses, as well as the immunotoxicity exerted by xenobiotics and drugs. Only research that describe the mechanisms of specific compounds (not extracts) is of interest to the journal.
The journal will prioritise preclinical and clinical studies on immunotherapy of disorders such as chronic inflammation, allergy, autoimmunity, cancer etc. The effects of small-drugs, vaccines and biologics against central immunological targets as well as cell-based therapy, including dendritic cell therapy, T cell adoptive transfer and stem cell therapy, are topics of particular interest. Publications pointing towards potential new drug targets within the immune system or novel technology for immunopharmacological drug development are also welcome.
With an immunoscience focus on drug development, immunotherapy and toxicology, the journal will cover areas such as infection, allergy, inflammation, tumor immunology, degenerative disorders, immunodeficiencies, neurology, atherosclerosis and more.
Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology will accept original manuscripts, brief communications, commentaries, mini-reviews, reviews, clinical trials and clinical cases, on the condition that the results reported are based on original, clinical, or basic research that has not been published elsewhere in any journal in any language (except in abstract form relating to paper communicated to scientific meetings and symposiums).
