The Detection of Immunity against WT1 and SMAD4P130L of EpCAM+ Cancer Cells in Malignant Pleural Effusion
2022
Overview
Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) provides a liquid tumor microenvironment model that includes cancer cells and immune cells. However, the characteristics of tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells have not been investigated in detail. Here, we analyzed MPE samples taken from a patient with pancreatic cancer who received a dendritic cell vaccine targeting Wilms’ Tumor 1 (WT1) antigen over the disease course (two points at MPE1st and 2nd, two months after MPE1st). Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)+ cancer cells (PD-L1− or T cell immunoglobulin mucin-3, TIM-3−), both PD-1 or TIM-3 positive CD8+ T cells, and CD14+CD68+CD163+TIM-3+ macrophages increased from the MPE1st to MPE2nd. The ratio of WT1-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (WT1-CTLs) to MPE CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ secretion of WT1-CTLs were reduced with disease progression. Coincidentally, the fraction of central memory T (TCM) of WT1-CTLs was decreased. On the other hand, CD8+ T cells in response to SMAD4P130L, which is homogeneously expressed in EpCAM+ cancer cells, were detected using in vitro expansion with the HLA-A*11:01 restrictive SVCVNLYH neoantigen. Furthermore, the CD8+ T cell response to SMAD4P130L was diminished following remarkably decreased numbers of CD8+ TCM in MPE samples. In conclusion, CD8+ T cells responding to WT1 or SMAD4P130L neoantigen expressed in EpCAM+ pancreatic cancer cells were detected in MPE. A tumor antigen-specific immune response would provide novel insight into the MPE microenvironment.
