| Abstract |
Apoptotic cells are immunosuppressive, creating a barrier in cancer treatment. Thus, we investigated immune responses to dying tumor cells after therapy in the tumor draining lymph node (TDLN). A key population responsible for clearing tumor material in the TDLN was medullary sinus macrophages (MSMs). Tumor debris phagocytosis by MSMs induces the cytokine IL-33, and blocking the IL-33 receptor (ST2) or deletion of Il33 in MSMs enhances therapy responses. Mechanistically, IL-33 activates T regulatory cells in TDLNs that migrate to the tumor to suppress CD8+ T cells. Therapeutically combining ST2 blockade, targeted kinase inhibitors, and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy increases CD8+ T cell activity promoting tumor regression. Importantly, we observe similar activity in human macrophages, and IL-33 expression in sentinel lymph nodes correlates with disease stage and survival in melanoma. Thus, our data identifies an IL-33-dependent immune response to therapy that attenuates therapy-induced anti-tumor immunity.
