Abstract: It is unknown as to how liver metastases are correlated with host immune status in colorectal cancer. In this study, we found that IL-6, a proinflammatory cytokine produced in tumor-bearing states, promotes the metastatic colonization of colon cancer cells in association with dysfunctional anti-tumor immunity. In IL-6-deficient mice, metastatic colonization of CT26 cells in the liver was reduced, and the anti-tumor effector function of CD8+ T cells as well as IL-12 production by CD11c+ dendritic cells were augmented in vivo. Furthermore, IL-6-deficient mice exhibited enhanced IFNAR1- mediated type I interferon signaling, which upregulated PD-L1 and MHC class I expression on CT26 cells. In vivo injection of anti-PD-L1 antibody effectively suppressed the metastatic colonization of CT26 cells in Il6-/- but not Il6+/+ mice. Finally, we confirmed that colorectal cancer patients with low IL-6 levels in their primary tumors showed prolonged disease-free survival. These findings suggest IL-6 may be a promising target for the treatment of metastasis in colorectal cancers by improving host immunity.
