ABSTRACT
Antibody-based anti-cancer therapy is considered a successful approach to impair tumour progression. This study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of targeting the IL-3 signalling in the microenvironment of solid tumours. We intended to investigate whether the IL-3Rα blockade on tumour-derived endothelial cells (TEC) can modulate PD-L1 expression in tumour cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to reshape the anti-tumour immune response. Extracellular vesicles released by TEC after IL-3Rα blockade (aTEV) were used as the ultimate effectors of the antibody-based approach, while naive TEC-derived extracellular vesicles (nTEV) served as control. Firstly, we demonstrated that, either directly or indirectly via nTEV, IL-3 controls the expression of its receptor on TEC and PBMC respectively. Moreover, we found that nTEV, moulded by the autocrine secretion of IL-3, increased PD-L1 expression in myeloid cells both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we found that nTEV-primed PBMC favour tumour cell growth (TEC and MDA-MB-231 cells), whereas PBMC-primed with aTEV still retain their anti-tumour properties. Isolated T-cells pre-conditioned with nTEV or aTEV and co-cultured with TEC or MDA-MB-231 cells have no effects, thereby sustaining the key role of myeloid cells in tumour immune editing. In vivo nTEV, but not aTEV, increased the expression of PD-L1 in primary tumours, lung and liver metastases. Finally, we demonstrated that the enrichment of miR-214 in aTEV impacts on PD-L1 expression in vivo. Overall, these data indicate that an approach based on IL-3Rα blockade in TEC rearranges EV cargo and may reshape the anti-tumour immune response.
