Abstract

Background & Aims Immunotherapies that induce T-cell responses have shown efficacy against some solid malignancies in patients and mice, but these have little effect on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We investigated whether the ability of PDAC to evade T-cell responses induced by immunotherapies results from the low level of immunogenicity of tumor cells, the tumor's immunosuppressive mechanisms, or both. Methods KrasG12D/+; Trp53R172H/+; Pdx-1-Cre (KPC) mice, which develop spontaneous PDAC, or their littermates (controls) were given subcutaneous injections of a syngeneic KPC-derived PDAC cell line. Mice were then given gemcitabine and an agonist of CD40 to induce tumor-specific immunity mediated by T cells. Some mice were also given clodronate-encapsulated liposomes to deplete macrophages. Tumor growth was monitored. Tumor and spleen tissues were collected and analyzed by histology, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry. Results Gemcitabine in combination with a CD40 agonist induced T cell-dependent regression of subcutaneous PDAC in KPC and control mice. In KPC mice given gemcitabine and a CD40 agonist, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltrated subcutaneous tumors, but only CD4+ T cells infiltrated spontaneous pancreatic tumors (not CD8+ T cells). In mice depleted of Ly6Clow F4/80+ extra-tumor macrophages, the combination of gemcitabine and a CD40 agonist stimulated infiltration of spontaneous tumors by CD8+ T cells and induced tumor regression, mediated by CD8+ T cells. Conclusions Ly6Clow F4/80+ macrophages that reside outside of the tumor microenvironment regulate infiltration of T cells into PDAC and establish a site of immune privilege. Strategies to reverse the immune privilege of PDAC, which is regulated by extra-tumor macrophages, might increase the efficacy of T cell immunotherapy for patients with PDAC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
