Acute leukemias are systemic malignancies associated with a dire outcome. Because of low immunogenicity, leukemias display a remarkable ability to evade immune control and are often resistant to checkpoint blockade. Here, we discover that leukemia cells actively establish a suppressive environment to prevent immune attacks by co-opting a signaling axis that skews macrophages toward a tumor-promoting tissue repair phenotype, namely the GAS6/AXL axis. Using aggressive leukemia models, we demonstrate that ablation of the AXL receptor specifically in macrophages, or its ligand GAS6 in the environment, stimulates antileukemic immunity and elicits effective and lasting natural killer cell- and T cell-dependent immune response against naïve and treatment-resistant leukemia. Remarkably, AXL deficiency in macrophages also enables PD-1 checkpoint blockade in PD-1-refractory leukemias. Finally, we provide proof-of-concept that a clinical-grade AXL inhibitor can be used in combination with standard-of-care therapy to cure established leukemia, regardless of AXL expression in malignant cells. SIGNIFICANCE: Alternatively primed myeloid cells predict negative outcome in leukemia. By demonstrating that leukemia cells actively evade immune control by engaging AXL receptor tyrosine kinase in macrophages and promoting their alternative priming, we identified a target which blockade, using a clinical-grade inhibitor, is vital to unleashing the therapeutic potential of myeloid-centered immunotherapy.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 2659.
