Outline of Research at the Start

近年、がん免疫療法の臨床応用は目覚ましい発展を遂げているが、口腔癌担癌宿主の免疫応答に関わる調節機構については不明な点が多く、その解明も急がれる。担癌宿主では、骨髄由来系細胞や制御性T細胞などの免疫抑制性の細胞集団が著しく増加し、宿主のT細胞免疫応答を抑制し、抗腫瘍免疫応答に対して抑制的な機序であるいわゆる免疫逃避の存在が明らかとされている。本研究は、マウス口腔癌モデルを用い、口腔癌の担癌宿主における、骨髄由来免疫抑制性細胞(Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell;以下MDSC)の特性解析により、口腔癌の浸潤機序を標的とした新たな治療戦略を開発を目的とした研究である。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

As novel therapeutic agents against immunosuppressive cells involved in the control of diffusely invasive oral squamous cell carcinoma, we conducted an experimental therapeutic system using Pak4 or CD36 inhibitors or mTOR inhibitors, which have attracted attention as immunostimulatory agents in other carcinomas. The results showed that each drug had a characteristic immunomodulatory effect on the anti-tumor immune response. We would like to continue our research with the aim of combining these drugs with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

免疫チェックポイント阻害剤の効果は一部の患者に限定的である。その一因として、骨髄由来抑制性細胞(Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cell;以下MDSC)の存在が考えられる。前述の薬剤のうち、CD36阻害剤、mTOR阻害剤は口腔扁平上皮癌のMDSCを制御し、T細胞分画へ好影響を示唆する結果であった。以上のことから、既存の薬物療法で抵抗性の口腔扁平上皮癌へ新規治療薬としての臨床応用が期待できる。
