NK cells and CTLs are required to clear solid tumor in a novel model of patient-derived-xenograft
biorxiv(2020)
摘要
Existing patient-derived-xenograft (PDX) mouse models of solid tumors lack a fully tumor-donor matched “syngeneic” and functional immune system. We developed such a model by engrafting lymphopenic recipient mice with a fresh undisrupted piece of solid tumor, whereby tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) expanded in the recipient mice for several weeks. Tumors engrafted in about seventy to eighty percent of yngeneic-mmune-ystem-PDX (SIS-PDX) mice, which harbored tumor-exhausted immune-effector and functional immune-regulatory cells persisting for at least six-months post-engraftment. Interleukin-15 (IL-15)-stimulation in addition to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), prevented resistance, resulting in complete or partial response to combined treatment. Further, the depletion of Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and/or Natural Killer (NK) cells from combined immunotherapy in SIS-PDX mice revealed that both cell types are required for the maximal response to tumor. Our novel SIS-PDX model provides a valuable resource for powerful mechanistic and therapeutic studies designed to eradicate solid tumors.
