Abstract LB313: Immunosuppressive effect of tumor-infiltrating IL-22 receptor-expressing myeloid cells in early-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor survival rate, largely due to the lack of diagnostic biomarker for early detection. Here, we found enriched IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ myeloid cells in peripheral blood and specifically PDAC tissues respectively using xenograft/orthotropic PDAC mouse models. The subcutaneous injection of PDAC cell line in mouse showed a positive correlation of pancreatic tumor growth with increased IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ myeloid cells by flow cytometry. We also verified that IL-10R2+CD45+ and IL-22R1+CD45+ myeloid cells were infiltrated in tumor tissues after 2 weeks and 3 weeks of injection in orthotropic murine PDAC model. Notably, the IL-10R2+IL-22R1+ cells were highly detected in tumor tissues after 7 days of injection, an earlier time point of PDAC progression. To define whether these cells have immunosuppressive functions to contribute further PDAC progression, IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ myeloid cells were sorted from splenocytes after 3 days of tumor implantation and co-cultured with T cells in the presence of T cell receptor triggering. The proliferation and cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells were alleviated by co-culture with IL-10R2+, IL-22R1+, or IL-10R2+IL-22R1+ myeloid cells, compared to that with IL-10R2-IL-22R1- cells. In addition, the population of regulatory T cells was increased when they were co-cultured with IL-22R1+ myeloid cells. Furthermore, the proliferation of human T cells in vitro was also inhibited by co-culture with IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ myeloid cells from human peripheral blood, indicating the immunosuppressive function of IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ cell population. Therefore, IL-10R2+/IL-22R1+ myeloid cell population could be a possible promising early detection marker for PDAC, contributing to the non-immunogenic features of tumor microenvironment during PDAC progression.
