Abstract: | Immunological checkpoint blockade therapies benefit a limited population of cancer patients. We have previously shown that vaccine immunotherapy with Toll-like receptor (TLR)3-adjuvant and tumor antigen overcomes anti-programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) resistance in mouse tumor models. In the present study, 4 different ovalbumin (OVA)-expressing tumor cell lines were implanted into syngeneic mice and subjected to anti-tumor immunotherapy using ARNAX and whole OVA protein. ARNAX is a TLR3-specific agonist that does not activate the mitochondrial antiviral-signaling protein (MAVS) pathway, and thus does not induce systemic inflammation. Dendritic cell priming and proliferative CTL were induced by ARNAX + OVA, but complete remission was achieved only in a PD-L1-low cell line of EG7. Addition of anti-PD-L1 antibody to the ARNAX + OVA therapy brought complete remission to another PD-L1-high subline of EG7. Tumor shrinkage but not remission was observed in MO5 in that regimen. We analyzed tumor cells and tumor-infiltrating immune cells to identify factors associated with successful ARNAX vaccine therapy. Tumors that responded to ARNAX therapy expressed high levels of MHC class I and low levels of PD-L1. The tumor-infiltrating immune cells in ARNAX-susceptible tumors contained fewer immunosuppressive myeloid cells with low PD-L1 expression. Combination with anti-PD-L1 antibody functioned not only within tumor sites but also within lymphoid tissues, augmenting the therapeutic efficacy of the ARNAX vaccine. Notably, ARNAX therapy induced memory CD8+ T cells and rejection of reimplanted tumors. Thus, ARNAX vaccine + anti-PD-L1 therapy enabled permanent remission against some tumors that stably present antigens. |
