PG - 100893 LID - S1476-5586(23)00018-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.neo.2023.100893 [doi] LID - 100893 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) can initiate both naive and memory T cell activation, as the most potent antigen-presenting cells. For efficient anti-tumor immunity, it is essential to enhance the anti-tumoral activity of tumor-associated DCs (TADCs) or to potently restrain TADCs so that they remain immuno-stimulating cells. Combined phospholipids (cPLs) adjuvant may act through the activation of DCs. This study demonstrated the potential mechanism of tumor growth inhibition of cPLs adjuvant, and confirmed that cPLs adjuvant could induce the maturation and activation (upregulation of MHC-II, CD80, CD40, IL-1beta, IL-12, IL-6 expression) of BMDCs in vitro. Then we isolated tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) from solid tumor and analyzed the phenotype and cytokines of TILs. The examination of the TILs revealed that cPLs adjuvant upregulated the expression of co-stimulatory molecules (MHC-II, CD86), phosphatidylserine (PS) receptor (TIM-4) on TADCs and enhanced the cytotoxic effect (CD107a), as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2) by the tumor-resident T cells. Taken together, cPLs adjuvant may be an immune-potentiating adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy. This reagent may lead to the development of new approaches in DC-targeted cancer immunotherapy.
