IL1α Antagonizes IL1β and Promotes Adaptive Immune Rejection of Malignant Tumors.


ABSTRACT: We assessed the contribution of IL1 signaling molecules to malignant tumor growth using IL1β-/-, IL1α-/-, and IL1R1-/- mice. Tumors grew progressively in IL1R-/- and IL1α-/- mice but were often absent in IL1β-/- mice. This was observed whether tumors were implanted intradermally or injected intravenously and was true across multiple distinct tumor lineages. Antibodies to IL1β prevented tumor growth in wild-type (WT) mice but not in IL1R1-/- or IL1α-/- mice. Antibodies to IL1α promoted tumor growth in IL1β-/- mice and reversed the tumor-suppressive effect of anti-IL1β in WT mice. Depletion of CD8+ T cells and blockade of lymphocyte mobilization abrogated the IL1β-/- tumor suppressive effect, as did crossing IL1β-/- mice to SCID or Rag1-/- mice. Finally, blockade of IL1β synergized with blockade of PD-1 to inhibit tumor growth in WT mice. These results suggest that IL1β promotes tumor growth, whereas IL1α inhibits tumor growth by enhancing T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity.
