CXCL10 Recruitment of γδ T Cells into the Hypoxic Bone Marrow Environment Leads to IL17 Expression and Multiple Myeloma Progression. Cancer Immunol Res 2023; 11:1384-1399. [PMID: 37586075 DOI: 10.1158/2326-6066.cir-23-0088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
In multiple myeloma (MM), bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) shape a unique niche within the bone marrow, promoting T-cell dysfunction and driving MM progression; however, the precise underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that BMSC-mediated reprogramming of MM cells led to heightened production of CXCL10. CXCL10 orchestrated the recruitment of γδ T cells into the bone marrow, and this was observed in both the Vk*MYC and 5TGM1 mouse models of MM, as well as in patients experiencing refractory or relapsed MM. Furthermore, the dysfunctional γδ T cells in the MM bone marrow niche exhibited increased PD-1 expression and IL17 production. In the Vk*MYC mouse model, MM-associated bone lesions and mortality were markedly alleviated in Tcrd-/- mice, and MM disease progression could be rescued in these mice upon transplantation of γδ T cells expanded from wild-type mice, but not from Il17-/- mice. Mechanistically, the hypoxic microenvironment prevailing in the MM bone marrow niche stimulated the expression of steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) in γδ T cells, which in turn interacted with the transcriptional factor RORγt, promoting Il17 transcription. Pharmacologic inhibition of SRC-3 utilizing SI-2 effectively suppressed Il17A expression in γδ T cells, leading to alleviation of MM progression in the murine models and enhancing the anti-multiple myeloma efficacy of bortezomib. Our results illuminated the bone marrow microenvironment's involvement in provoking γδ T-cell dysfunction throughout MM progression and suggest SRC-3 inhibition as a promising strategy to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapies targeting γδ T cells.

Abstract
Gamma delta (γδ) T cells can effectively recognize and kill colorectal cancer (CRC) cells, thereby suppressing tumor progression via multiple mechanisms. They also have abilities to exert a protumor effect via secreting interleukin-17 (IL-17). γδ T cells have been selected as potential immunocytes for antitumor treatment because of their significant cytotoxic activity. Immunotherapy is another potential anti-CRC strategy after an operation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. γδ T cell-based immunotherapy for CRC shows fewer side effects and better toleration. This review will outline the immune functions and the mechanisms of γδ T cells in the growth and progression of CRC in recent years, and summarize the immunotherapies based on γδ T cells, thus providing a direction for future γδ T cells in CRC research.

Front Immunol 2020; 11:861. [PMID: 32435249 PMCID: PMC7218166 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2020.00861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 04/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and γδT cells are both critical players in immunosurveillance against pathogens and cancer due to their ability to sense microbes and cell stress through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or altered metabolism [phosphoantigens (PAgs)]. Their unique features, high functional plasticity and ability to interact with many immune cell types allow them to bridge innate and adaptive immunity, initiating and orientating widely immune responses, hence contributing to protective and pathogenic immune responses. Yet, despite strategic and closed missions, potential interactions between pDCs and γδT cells are still unknown. Here we investigated whether there is interplay between pDCs and γδT cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Purified human pDCs and γδT cells were cocultured in presence of TLR-L, PAg, and zoledronate (Zol) to mimic both infectious and tumor settings. We demonstrated that TLR7/9L- or Zol-stimulated pDCs drive potent γδT-cell activation, Th1 cytokine secretion and cytotoxic activity. Conversely PAg-activated γδT cells trigger pDC phenotypic changes and functional activities. We provided evidence that pDCs and γδT cells cross-regulate each other through soluble factors and cell-cell contacts, especially type I/II IFNs and BTN3A. Such interplay could be modulated by blocking selective immune checkpoints. Our study highlighted crucial bidirectional interactions between these key potent immune players. The exploitation of pDC-γδT cells interplay represents a promising opportunity to design novel immunotherapeutic strategies and restore appropriate immune responses in cancers, infections and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
γδ T cells possess cytotoxic antitumor activity mediated by production of proinflammatory cytokines, direct cytotoxic activity, and regulation of the biological functions of other cell types. Hence, these features have prompted the development of therapeutic strategies in which γδ T cells agonists or ex vivo-expanded γδ T cells are administered to tumor patients. Several studies have shown that γδ T cells are an important component of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in patients affected by different types of cancer and a recent analysis of ~18,000 transcriptomes from 39 human tumors identified tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells as the most significant favorable cancer-wide prognostic signature. However, the complex and intricate interactions between tumor cells, tumor microenvironment (TME), and tumor-infiltrating immune cells results in a balance between tumor-promoting and tumor-controlling effects, and γδ T cells functions are often diverted or impaired by immunosuppressive signals originating from the TME. This review focuses on the dangerous liason between γδ T cells and tumoral microenvironment and raises the possibility that strategies capable to reduce the immunosuppressive environment and increase the cytotoxic ability of γδ T cells may be the key factor to improve their utilization in tumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
γδ T cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that have been implicated in immunosurveillance against infections and tumors. γδ T cells are endowed with antitumor activities, and hence several γδ T cell-based small-scale clinical trials have been conducted either by in vivo activation by intravenous administration of aminobiphosphonates or by adoptive transfer of in vitro expanded γδ T cells. Although both these strategies have yielded promising results, there are a number of limitations associated with each of them which, if overcome may help to further improve efficacy. One of the most important limits is the possible polarization of tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells toward different γδ T cells population with functional activities that help the progression and spread of the tumor. Here, we review the modalities and the possible mechanisms involved in the polarization of tumor-infiltrating γδ T cells upon interaction with several components of the tumor microenvironment and discuss their implications for the manipulation of γδ T cells in cancer immunotherapy.
