Figure Lengend Snippet: TCE stimulation elicits tumoricidal activity of rhIL-7-hyFc-induced bystander CD8 TILs (A) Schematic protein structure of PD-L1×CD3 TCE. This figure was created with BioRender.com . (B) The cytotoxicity of PD-L1 −/− splenocytes from naive PD-L1-deficient mice was evaluated. These splenocytes were co-cultured with CTV-labeled MC38 WT or MC38 ΔPD−L1 tumor cells in the presence of TCE at indicated concentrations for 48 h ( n = 3 per group). (C‒F) Functional assay of PD-L1×CD3 TCE on rhIL-7-hyFc-induced tumor-reactive and bystander CD8 TILs ( n = 3 per group). (C) Experimental scheme. (D) Expression of PD-1 and GzmB in PD-1 + or PD-1 − CD8 T cells co-cultured with MC38 in the presence of TCE at indicated concentration (left) and frequencies of PD-1 + GzmB + cells among CD8 T cells. Black and blue dots indicate PD-1 + and PD-1 − CD8 TILs before co-culture, respectively (right). (E) Frequencies of PD-1 + Prf + cells among CD8 T cells. (F) Cytotoxicity of PD-1 + and PD-1 − CD8 T cells in the presence of TCE. The expression of ghost dye in tumor cells was measured by flow cytometry. CTV + Ghost dye + cells are considered dead tumor cells. (G‒K) The functional changes and antitumor effects of rhIL-7-hyFc-expanded PD-1 − bystander CD8 T cells were investigated ( n = 5–7 per group). (G) Experimental scheme. MC38-bearing RAG1 −/− mice were injected i.t. with 4 × 10 6 CD8 + CD44 + CD62L + PD-1 − T cells sourced from the spleen and lymph nodes of C57BL/6 mice treated with rhIL-7-hyFc (10 mg kg −1 ). PD-L1×CD3 TCE (2 μg) or PBS was administered i.t. 5 times daily from the next day after T cell transfer. For flow cytometry analysis, tumors were collected 24 h after the second TCE treatment. (H) Average (left) and individual (right) tumor growth curves of MC38-bearing RAG1 −/− mice. The timing of TCE or PBS administration is indicated by blue or gray columns, respectively. (I) Representative plots showing the expression of GzmB in CD8 T cells (left) and frequency of GzmB + cells among CD8 T cells (right). (J) Representative plots showing the expression of Prf in CD8 T cells (left) and frequency of Prf + cells among CD8 T cells (right). (K) Representative plots showing the expression of Ki-67 in CD8 T cells (left) and frequency of Ki-67 + cells among CD8 T cells (right). Data are shown as mean ± SEM and representative of two or three independent experiments (B, D-F, and H) or a summary of two independent experiments (I–K). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001 by unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test (B, I, J, and K), by one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (D–F), and by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (H). ns, not significant.
