Abstract:
:A major challenge of cancer immunotherapy is the persistence and outgrowth of subpopulations that lose expression of the target antigen. IL-15 is a potent cytokine that can promote organ-specific autoimmunity when up-regulated on tissue cells. Here we report that T cells eradicated 2-wk-old solid tumors that expressed IL-15, eliminating antigen-negative cells. In contrast, control tumors that lacked IL-15 expression consistently relapsed. Interestingly, even tumors lacking expression of cognate antigen were rejected when expressing IL-15, indicating that rejection after adoptive T-cell transfer was independent of cognate antigen expression. Nevertheless, the T-cell receptor of the transferred T cells influenced the outcome, consistent with the notion that T-cell receptor activation and effector status determine whether IL-15 can confer lymphokine killer activity-like properties to T cells. The effect was limited to the microenvironment of tumors expressing IL-15; there were no noticeable effects on contralateral tumors lacking IL-15. Taken together, these results indicate that expression of IL-15 in the tumor microenvironment may prevent the escape of antigen loss variants and subsequent tumor recurrence by enabling T cells to eliminate cancer cells lacking cognate antigen expression in a locally restricted manner.
