We sought to determine the mechanism by which neuroblastoma inhibits antitumor immunity. When the culture supernatants from neuroblastoma cell lines (NLF, GOTO) were added monocyte derived dendritic cell (moDC) culture, cells retained CD14 with lower CD1a expression and produced much less IL-12 compared to control moDCs. Furthermore, IFN-γ production was reduced by iNKT cells stimulated with dendritic cells induced by the addition of culture supernatants from neuroblastoma cell lines.These results suggested that immunosuppression via dendritic cell dysfunction may also exist in the tumor microenvironment in neuroblastoma.
がん細胞によって産生される免疫抑制性可溶性因子によって、免疫寛容誘導性樹状細胞(tolerogenic DC)が腫瘍微小環境で誘導されることが、複数のがん種において報告されている。本研究により、神経芽腫細胞株の培養上清に含まれる可溶性因子が、tolerogenic DCを誘導し、NKT細胞活性化能を低下させることが示され、神経芽腫による抗腫瘍免疫に対する免疫抑制機序の一端を明らかにした。
