We previously demonstrated that leptin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) promote the expression of co-stimulatory molecules on the surface of DCs.

Therefore, in the present study, we investigate the effects of a DC vaccine treated with leptin and LPS on the genes involved in tumor metastasis, angiogenesis, and related cytokines in a mouse model of breast cancer. Tumor induction was achieved through subcutaneous injection of 4T1 cells into syngeneic mice. On days 12 and 19, the mouse groups received the DC vaccine treated with leptin and a combination of leptin and LPS. After sacrificing the mice on day 26, the levels of IL-6 and IL-33 in the serum were assayed using the ELISA technique, and the expression levels of the VEGF, CCL2, MMP9, and CCL5 genes in the tumors were measured by Real-Time PCR. Compared to untreated tumor-bearing mice, the leptin-treated mature DC (mDC) group exhibited a significant reduction in the expression of MMP9 (0.33-fold, p = 0.01) and CCL5 (0.81-fold, p = 0.02). The leptin-LPS-treated mDC group showed decreased expression of genes involved in metastasis and tumor growth, including VEGF (0.72-fold, p = 0.03), MMP9 (0.26-fold, p = 0.001), and CCL5 (0.3-fold, p = 0.006), indicating more efficient prevention of metastasis. The CCL2 gene expression levels in both treatment groups showed a slight decreasing trend, but these changes were not statistically significant. The leptin-treated mDC group reduced IL-6 production by approximately 16% (p = 0.02), while treatment with the leptin-LPS-treated mDC significantly decreased IL-6 production by approximately 22% (p = 0.01) and increased IL-33 production by approximately 42% (p = 0.03).

EBV is typically latent in B cells and the mechanism by which the EBV genome invades T/NK cells remains unknown. Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes derived from EBV + B cells play a pivotal role in immunosuppressive microenvironment remodeling. Moreover, the existence of an immunosuppressive microenvironment is known to be critical in the development of EBV-T/NK-LPDs. Hence, we hypothesized that exosomes derived from EBV + B cells might promote the development of EBV-T/NK-LPDs by stimulating immune evasion. In this study, we utilized paraffin sections to clarify the STAT3/IL-10/PD-L1-associated immunosuppressive microenvironment in EBV-T/NK-LPDs. Further, we extracted exosomes from BL2009 (EBV + B cell lymphoma) and CA46 (EBV- B cell lymphoma) cell lines to co-culture with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) cell lines, to verify the changes in the above immune evasion pathway. The paraffin sections of EBV-T/NK-LPDs showed high-expression levels of IL-10/PD-L1, which might be related to the phosphorylation of STAT3. Exosomes derived from EBV + B cells could significantly activate the STAT3/IL-10/PD-L1 pathway. After being treated with C188-9, EBV + B cell-derived exosomes were no longer able to stimulate the expression of IL-10/PD-L1 in CTCL cells. EBV-T/NK-LPDs have a STAT3/IL-10/PD-L1 overactivation-associated immunosuppressive microenvironment. Our study elucidated part of this mechanism.

Recent advancements in cancer treatment have sought to bolster innate and adaptive immune responses through diverse modalities, aiming to tilt the immune equilibrium toward tumor elimination. Optimal antitumor immunity entails a multifaceted interplay involving NK cells, T cells and DCs, orchestrating immune effector functions. Although DC-based vaccines and NK cells' cytotoxic capabilities hold substantial therapeutic potential, their interaction is frequently hindered by immunosuppressive elements such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells. Chemokines and cytokines, such as CXCL12, CCL2, interferons, and interleukins, play crucial roles in modulating NK/DC interactions and enhancing immune responses. This review elucidates the mechanisms underlying NK/DC interaction, emphasizing their pivotal roles in augmenting antitumor immune responses and the impediments posed by tumor-induced immunosuppression. Furthermore, it explores the therapeutic prospects of restoring NK/DC crosstalk, highlighting the significance of molecules like Sema3E/PlexinD1 in this context, offering potential avenues for enhancing the effectiveness of current immunotherapeutic strategies and advancing cancer treatment paradigms.
