Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading malignant disease in numerous countries, including Taiwan with limited therapeutic options. Animal viruses including oncolytic avian reovirus (ARV) have the possibility to avoid pre-existing immunity in humans, while being safe and immunostimulatory. Here, we provide a novel insight into oncolytic ARV and UV-ARV-sensitized patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells (P-PBMCs) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) killing primary GC (PGC) cells through the surface TLR3 and TRAIL/DR4/DR5 immunogenic apoptosis pathway.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive study to reveal whether ARV- or UV-inactivated ARV (UV-ARV)-modulated P-PBMCs or TILs killing ARV- and UV-ARV-sensitized AGS cells and PGC cells derived from clinical patients and to investigate the regulation of surface TLR3 receptor and upstream signaling pathways. Apoptosis analysis by flow cytometry and Western blot, suppression of signal pathway by specific inhibitors, in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA), time-resolved flurometry and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assays, and an in vitro co-culture model were established to study the interplay between ARV- and UV-ARV-sensitized P-PBMCs and TILs to kill PGC cells and their upstream pathways.
Results: Our results reveal that increased levels of DR4 and DR5 were observed in ARV and UV-ARV sensitized PGC cells through the TLR3/p38/p53 signaling pathway. Importantly, we found that the σC protein of ARV or UV-ARV interacted with surface TLR3 of CD8+ TILs, thereby triggering the TLR3/NF-κB/IFN-γ/TRAIL signaling pathway which induces immunogenic apoptosis of PGC cells. This study sheds further light on the molecular basis behind ARV oncolysis and facilitates the ARV or UV-ARV as a cancer therapeutic.
Conclusions: The study provides novel insights into ARV- or UV-ARV-sensitized P-PBMCs and CD8+ TILs to kill PGC cells through the immunogenic apoptosis pathway. We conclude that P-PBMCs can easily be obtained from GC patients and provide a rich source as TILs to kill PGC cells.
期刊介绍:
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that focuses on cellular signaling pathways in both normal and pathological conditions. It publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries, welcoming studies that utilize molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural, and cell biology approaches. CCS also encourages interdisciplinary work and innovative models, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches, to facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks, and behavior.
Starting from January 2019, CCS is proud to announce its affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal now encourages submissions covering all aspects of cell death, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, and the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
