Intraperitoneal activation of myeloid cells clears ascites and reveals IL27-dependent regression of metastatic ovarian cancer.

ABSTRACT: Patients with metastatic ovarian cancer (OvCa) have a 5-year survival rate of less than 30% due to persisting dissemination of chemoresistant cells in the peritoneal fluid and the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the peritoneal cavity. Here, we report that intraperitoneal administration of β-glucan and IFNγ (BI) induced robust tumor regression in clinically relevant models of metastatic OvCa. BI induced tumor regression by controlling fluid tumor burden and activating localized antitumor immunity. β-glucan alone cleared ascites and eliminated fluid tumor cells by inducing intraperitoneal clotting in the fluid and Dectin-1-Syk-dependent NETosis in the omentum. In omentum tumors, BI expanded a novel subset of immunostimulatory IL27+ macrophages and neutralizing IL27 impaired BI efficacy in vivo. Moreover, BI directly induced IL27 secretion in macrophages where single agent treatment did not. Finally, BI extended mouse survival in a chemoresistant model and significantly improved chemotherapy response in a chemo-sensitive model. In summary, we propose a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of metastatic OvCa.

Project description:BackgroundTumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian cancer, a lethal gynecologic malignancy. [124I]iodo-DPA-713 is a PET radiotracer that is selectively trapped within reactive macrophages. We have employed this radioligand here as well as a fluorescent analog to image TAMs associated with primary tumors, secondary pulmonary metastases and gastrointestinal tract-associated macrophages, associated with ascites accumulation in a syngeneic mouse model of metastatic ovarian cancer. Intact female C57BL/6 mice were engrafted with ID8-Defb29-VEGF tumor pieces. One month after engraftment, the mice were selected for positive bioluminescence to show primary and secondary tumor burden and were then scanned by PET/MRI with [124I]iodo-DPA-713, observing a 24 h uptake time. PET data were overlayed with T2-weighted MRI data to facilitate PET uptake tissue identity. Additionally, mice were imaged ex vivo using Near IR Fluorescence (NIRF), capturing the uptake and sequestration of DPA-713-IRDye800CW, a fluorescent analog of the radioligand used here. Additionally, cell culture uptake of DPA-713-IRDye680LT in ID8-DEFb29-VEGF, IOSE hTERT and RAW264.7 cells was conducted to measure tracer uptake in ovarian cancer cells, ovarian epithelial cells and macrophage.ResultsPET/MRI data show an intense ring of radiotracer uptake surrounding primary tumors. PET uptake is also associated with lung metastases, but not healthy lung. Mice displaying ascites also display PET uptake along the gastrointestinal tract while sham-operated mice show minimal gastrointestinal uptake. All mice show specific kidney uptake. Mice imaged by NIRF confirmed TAMs uptake mostly at the rim of primary tumors while 1 mm secondary tumors in the lungs displayed robust, homogeneous uptake of the radio- and fluorescent analog. Ex vivo biodistribution of [124I]iodo-DPA-713 showed that contralateral ovaries in middle-stage disease had the highest probe uptake with tissues sampled in mid- and late-stage disease showing increasing uptake.Conclusion[124I]iodo-DPA-713 and DPA-713-IRDye800CW sensitively identify and locate TAMs in a syngeneic mouse model of metastatic ovarian cancer.
