BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Immunotherapy with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade has shown low response rates in liver cancer patients, with the underlying mechanisms unclear. To decipher a specific impact of the liver microenvironment, we compared the effects of anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) blockade on the same tumor grown s.c. or in the liver.
APPROACH AND RESULTS: We generated s.c. tumors in mice by inoculating MC38 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells under the skin and metastatic liver tumors by portal vein or splenic injection of CRC cells. Tumor-bearing mice were treated by i.p. injection of αPD-L1, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly[I:C]), or both. αPD-L1 monotherapy significantly suppressed s.c. tumor growth, but showed no effect on metastatic liver tumors. However, the combination of αPD-L1 with poly(I:C), an innate immunity-stimulating reagent, robustly inhibited tumor progression in liver. The combination therapy effectively down-regulated myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), but up-regulated ratios of M1/M2 macrophages, CD8/CD4, and CD8/regulatory T (Treg) cells infiltrated into liver tumors and whole liver. A group of long-lasting T-bet+ Eomes- PD-1- cytotoxic T cells was maintained in the combo-treated liver, leading to resistance to tumor recurrence. Depleting macrophages or blocking type Ⅰ interferon signaling abrogated the synergistic antitumor effect of αPD-L1 and poly(I:C), indicating a requirement of boosting innate immunity for optimized activation of cytotoxic T cells by PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.
CONCLUSIONS: The poor response of liver cancers to αPD-L1 therapy is largely attributable to a unique hepatic immunotolerant microenvironment, independent of tumor origins or types. The success of a combinatorial immunotherapy relies on coordinated inhibition or activation of various innate and adaptive immune cell activities.
