Although studies have focused on the influence of innate immune cells on adaptive immune cell functions, few have explored interactions between innate immune cells, which modulate the PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME). Macrophages are responsible for the clearance of neutrophil-mediated inflammation in physiologic, resolving immune responses; however, both of these cell types coexist in the TME, suggesting a failure of macrophages to clear neutrophils in PDAC. We sought to determine how neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), neutrophil release of decondensed chromatin, and intracellular contents affect monocyte/macrophage populations in the PDAC TME. Utilizing samples from patients with PDAC, we demonstrated elevated levels of the monocyte chemokine CCL2 in plasma, as well as elevated NET citrullinated histone H3 and the pan-macrophage marker CD68 in the PDAC TME via fluorescent IHC. To determine how NETs affected macrophage populations in the PDAC TME, we targeted NETs with DNase I treatment to digest extracellular DNA released from NETs or with genetic knockout of PAD4, an enzyme required for NET formation. NET depletion resulted in an elevation in the pan-macrophage marker F4/80. The depletion led to an increased T-cell stimulatory signal, CD80, whereas the protumor macrophage marker CD206 was decreased. We further demonstrated that macrophages in the NET-deficient PDAC TME may be recruited through the CCL2/CCR2 axis, and CCL2 was released from tumor cells and macrophages in the presence of IFNγ. Taken together, our findings reveal that inhibition of NETs can prime the innate immune response toward an antitumor phenotype.</p>","PeriodicalId":9474,"journal":{"name":"Cancer immunology research","volume":" ","pages":"1547-1560"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144752499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considerable attention has been focused on approaches to blocking inhibitory receptors on NK and myeloid cells. Most effort has been directed to the killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) and CD94/NKG2A on NK cells. Another set of receptors with similar function in both NK cells and myeloid cells is the leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptors (LILR) that interact with a wide variety of HLA molecules. Using pan-anti-HLA mAbs that recognize a conserved epitopic region on HLA also seen by LILR, we investigated their functional effects in several models of tumor immunity. The pan-anti-HLA-mAbs blocked the binding of most LILRs, did not block killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) or CD94/NKG2A/C or TCR recognition. They also activated dysfunctional NK cells explanted from a variety of human cancers, and resulted in enhancement of tumor immunity in humanized mice. The mAbs also exert direct anti-tumor effects.

Although chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells hold promise for treating advanced sarcomas, this approach is constrained by a paucity of effective targets. Our previous clinical study identified endoglin (ENG/CD105), a TGFβ coreceptor, as a target of the endogenous immune response in a patient with sarcoma who exhibited an exceptional response to HER2-targeted CAR T-cell therapy. ENG is expressed on various sarcomas, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and neoangiogenic vessels and therefore offers comprehensive tumor targeting. Furthermore, ENG knockout in sarcoma cells reduces their invasiveness, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Accordingly, we designed a second-generation human ENG-targeting CAR molecule signaling through the CD28 endodomain and retrovirally transduced primary human T cells with this CAR. ENG CAR T cells exhibited strong antigen-specific cytokine release, robust proliferation, memory formation, and cytotoxic function against various sarcoma cell lines. Their cytotoxicity remained unaffected by the presence of soluble ENG or its natural ligand, bone morphogenetic protein-9. Furthermore, ENG CAR T cells disrupted multicellular tumor spheroids in vitro, overcoming tumor compactness and the stromal barrier created by cancer-associated fibroblasts, which are critical challenges in sarcoma CAR T-cell therapy. In orthotopic xenograft models of sarcomas, ENG CAR T-cell treatment resulted in control of tumor growth and metastasis, leading to survival extension.

We report that high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in mice significantly prolonged lifespan and reduced tumor growth and body weight loss. This effect was mediated in part by more effective DC antigen presentation. DCs derived from Tg(CAG-fat-1)Jxk/J transgenic mice expressing high omega-3 lipid levels were better vaccine vehicles than wild-type (WT) DCs in treating cancers in WT mice and in stimulating CD8+ T-cell responses in vitro and in vivo. Although no effect on the levels of expression of costimulatory molecules was detected, we discovered a marked enhancement of T-cell dwell time on DCs. We also observed that differentiating DCs from WT bone marrow in the presence of omega-3 lipids increased DC antigen presentation capacity in vitro, suggesting a potential approach to enhance DC-based cancer vaccine efficacy.</p>","PeriodicalId":9474,"journal":{"name":"Cancer immunology research","volume":" ","pages":"1609-1622"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12485383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144774729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
