Differential roles of type I interferon signaling in tumor versus host cells in experimental glioma models.

ABSTRACT: Despite multimodal treatment approaches including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the median survival for patients with glioblastoma remains in the range of one year and thus poor. Type I interferons (IFN) are involved in immune responses to viral infection and exhibit anti-tumor activity in certain cancers. Here we explored the biological relevance of constitutive type I IFN signaling in murine glioma models in vitro and in vivo. CT-2A, GL-261, SMA-497, SMA-540 and SMA-560 murine glioma cells expressed IFN type I receptors IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 and were responsive to exogenous IFN stimulation. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of IFNAR1 decreased the baseline expression of type I IFN response genes in GL-261 cells, but neither in CT-2A nor in SMA-560 cells. IFNAR1 deletion slowed growth in GL-261 and SMA-560, but not in CT-2A cells. However, only the growth of IFNAR1-depleted GL-261 tumors and not that of SMA-560 tumors was delayed in vivo upon orthotopic tumor cell implantation into syngeneic mice. This survival gain was no longer detected when the IFNAR1-depleted GL-261 cells were inoculated into IFNAR1-deficient mice. Altogether these data suggest that constitutive type I IFN signaling in gliomas may be pro-tumorigenic, but only in a microenvironment that is proficient for type I IFN signaling in the host.

Project description:BackgroundAllogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) is a potentially curative therapy for a variety of hematologic diseases, but benefits, including graft-versus-tumor (GVT) activity are limited by graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 1 (Ceacam1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein found on epithelium, T cells, and many tumors. It regulates a variety of physiologic and pathological processes such as tumor biology, leukocyte activation, and energy homeostasis. Previous studies suggest that Ceacam1 negatively regulates inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease models.MethodsWe studied Ceacam1 as a regulator of GVHD and GVT after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) in mouse models. In vivo, Ceacam1(-/-) T cells caused increased GVHD mortality and GVHD of the colon, and greater numbers of donor T cells were positive for activation markers (CD25(hi), CD62L(lo)). Additionally, Ceacam1(-/-) CD8 T cells had greater expression of the gut-trafficking integrin ?(4)?(7), though both CD4 and CD8 T cells were found increased numbers in the gut post-transplant. Ceacam1(-/-) recipients also experienced increased GVHD mortality and GVHD of the colon, and alloreactive T cells displayed increased activation. Additionally, Ceacam1(-/-) mice had increased mortality and decreased numbers of regenerating small intestinal crypts upon radiation exposure. Conversely, Ceacam1-overexpressing T cells caused attenuated target-organ and systemic GVHD, which correlated with decreased donor T cell numbers in target tissues, and mortality. Finally, graft-versus-tumor survival in a Ceacam1(+) lymphoma model was improved in animals receiving Ceacam1(-/-) vs. control T cells.ConclusionsWe conclude that Ceacam1 regulates T cell activation, GVHD target organ damage, and numbers of donor T cells in lymphoid organs and GVHD target tissues. In recipients of allo-BMT, Ceacam1 may also regulate tissue radiosensitivity. Because of its expression on both the donor graft and host tissues, this suggests that targeting Ceacam1 may represent a potent strategy for the regulation of GVHD and GVT after allogeneic transplantation.
