ABSTRACT
AIM:
To understand the mechanism of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-mediated immunosuppression in dendritic cells (DCs). MAINMETHODS:
In vivo experiments were conducted on 4T1 tumor bearing mice (TBM). In vitro experiments were performed in bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs), or spleen cells. Cytokines were monitored by ELISA/ELIspot. Gene expression was monitored by RT-PCR/flow cytometry. KEYFINDINGS:
In silico, in vitro, and in vivo experiments in 4T1 TBM revealed that PGE2 induced IL-6/pSTAT3 signaling through EP4 receptors in DCs, resulting in their dysfunction. These effects were reversed by EP4 antibody neutralization, EP4 antagonist, and STAT3 inhibitory peptides. PGE2 induced IL-6 was regulated by miR-365, as its mimic inhibited PGE2 induced IL-6 and the inhibitor increased lL-6 levels in DC. Bio-informatic analysis in human mammary cancers also revealed a strong compared co-relation between PGE2 and IL-6 (Correlation AnalyzeR) (R = 0.94). Mice bearing PTGS-2 KD 4T1 tumors had decreased tumor burden, PGE2, EP4, IL-6, and pSTAT3 signaling, along with improved DCs and T cell functions. Treatment of mice with a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor or EP4 antagonist decreased tumor burden, and this effect of EP4 antagonist was abrogated upon in vivo depletion of CD11c cells, indicating the crucial role of PGE2 signaling in DCs in tumor progression.SIGNIFICANCE:
In summary, our data highlights the importance of dendritic cells in mediating PGE2-mediated immunosuppression and the use of EP4 or STAT3 inhibitors or miR365 mimics can restore immunogenicity in cancer.Palabras clave
