PNAS:中和活性氮分子增强癌症免疫治疗

利用T细胞攻击体内癌细胞(免疫疗法)虽然给部分化疗患者带来了希望,然而,一些患者经过一轮又一轮治疗仍然效果甚微。尽管免疫疗法前景看好,它仍然只对少数患者有利,这是该领域需要改进新方法的驱动力。

利用T细胞攻击体内癌细胞(免疫疗法)虽然给部分化疗患者带来了希望,然而,一些患者经过一轮又一轮治疗仍然效果甚微。尽管免疫疗法前景看好,它仍然只对少数患者有利,这是该领域需要改进新方法的驱动力。



提高疗效的其中一种方式是开发基于生物和活性的标记物,以预测哪些患者对免疫治疗有反应,并找出其他患者没有反应的原因。例如,前列腺癌某些肿瘤模型中,氨基酸硝化可以抑制T细胞活化,妨碍T细胞杀死癌细胞的能力。

“人们对免疫疗法寄予了很大希望,虽然对一些病人效果很好,总体上受益患者数量仍然很低,”圣母大学生命科学助理教授Xin Lu说。“通过鉴定这些活性基础标志物,我们可以设计出关闭抑制T细胞活化的特定机制的方法,让免疫疗法正常运作。”

在这项研究中,Lu和他的团队揭示了由髓系来源的抑制细胞(MDSCs)生产的RNS(活性氮自由基)这种高反应分子,如何引起酪氨酸激酶(LCK)的氨基酸硝化,众所周知,LCK对T细胞活化至关重要。

硝化作用是在氨基酸分子上添加“硝基”化学基团,修饰后的酪氨酸其所在蛋白质整体构型发生改变,从而表现出不同功能。MDSCs广泛存在于实体肿瘤中,占所有癌症的90%。

前列腺癌是美国男性癌症相关死亡的第二大原因,仅次于肺癌,Lu课题组在肺癌和前列腺癌模型中进行了测试,“如今,我们终于有办法阻止特定氨基酸被硝化了,”Lu说。

他们试验了三种方法来阻止硝化作用以保持LCK蛋白活性,且完成杀死癌细胞的任务。用免疫检查点阻断剂或尿酸来处理肿瘤模型,仅能最低限度地中和RNS,“而当我们将它们结合在一起后,结果表明RNS抑制效果明显,这种处理可以激活T细胞,获得令人印象深刻的肿瘤杀伤效果,”Lu说。

“想象一下,在临床上,如果一位病人得了转移性前列腺癌,仅需针尖大小的生物活检,就可知道MDSC所依赖的硝化蛋白生物标记物,预测其需要哪一种抑制MDSC的免疫治疗药物,”他说。

由于MDSCs在许多实体瘤中含量很高,Lu说。可以认为,在前列腺癌模型中的发现很有可能延伸到其他癌症类型。
