Article Title: Type 2 Innate Lymphocytes Actuate Immunity Against Tumours and Limit Cancer Metastasis

doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-20608-6

Figure Lengend Snippet: Genetic complementation of immune evasive tumours shows a clear phenotypic shift towards immune recognition. Immunohistochemical staining was used to visualise tumour infiltrating immune cells. CD4 is a glycoprotein found on the surface of T helper cells, macrophages, dendritic cells. CD8 is primarily a marker for cytotoxic T cells, but also found on natural killer cells and DCs; CD68 is a marker of monocytes and macrophages; Ly6G is a marker for neutrophils; FoxP3 is a marker of regulatory T cells. Greater numbers of CD4 + and CD8 + cells can be seen within ( c , g ) the genetically modified (metastatic A9+IL-33) tumours versus unmodified metastatic (A9) tumours ( a , e ). Fewer regulatory T cells are present in IL-33 expressing tumours, as indicated by lower FoxP3 staining; metastatic A9 ( q ) versus metastatic A9+IL-33 ( s ) or primary TC1 ( r ) tumours. Increased macrophage and neutrophil responses are seen in IL-33 expressing tumours: unmodified metastatic A9 ( i , m ) versus metastatic A9+IL-33 ( k , o ) or primary TC1 ( j , n ) tumours respectively. ( d , h , l , p , t ) Negative controls (rat IgG targeting Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH)) were included to show that non-specific staining was minimized. The percentage of positively stained cells was calculated from the total number of cells on each slide. 10 µm thick sections were stained with appropriate antibodies and imaged at 20X magnification ( a – t ); size bar = 100 µm ( a – t ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: The mice lacking ILC2s (RORα −/− ) were less able to limit the growth of tumours. Tumours with and without IL-33-expression were established in the WT and RORα −/− chimeric mice. ( a ) The presence of ILC2s significantly inhibited tumour formation in WT chimeric mice bearing tumours expressing IL-33, when compared to RORα −/− chimeras, which lacked ILC2s. Metastatic A9 tumours demonstrated rapid progression and severe disease symptoms reaching the humane end-point that resulted in early termination of animals from both A9 chimeric groups, indicating that the ILC2s were not significantly able to control the growth of fast growing tumours which lack IL-33 expression. Metastatic A9+IL-33 tumour growth was more aggressive in RORα −/− chimeric mice lacking ILC2s, to the point where they resembled the growth of A9 cells alone. The difference in growth results between metastatic A9+IL-33 tumours grown in WT versus RORα −/− chimeric mice was significant; P < 0.002 (Student t-test). Primary TC1 tumours were able to grow faster in mice lacking ILC2s (RORα −/− chimeras) than in WT chimeras P < 0.05 (Student t-test). ( b ) The numbers of ILC2 cells found in neighbouring lymph nodes were significantly lower in RORα −/− mice compared to WT chimeras bearing IL-33 expressing tumours. This served as a quality control for bone marrow transplantation; *P < 0.05 (Student t-test). ( c ) The numbers of ILC2 cells found in primary TC1 tumours were significantly higher than in metastatic A9 or A9+IL-33 tumours; *P < 0.05 (Student t-test). ( d,e ) RORα deficiency had no effect on the percentage of CD4 + or CD8 + lymphocytes found in either lymph nodes or tumours in response to ( d ) primary TC1 or ( e ) metastatic A9+IL-33 tumours. The percentage of all cells was calculated as a fraction of 2 × 10 5 cellular events used to create a profile for each organ or tissue. The error bars represent standard error of the mean; n = 8 mice per group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Model linking the adaptive and innate immune responses during tumour development via IL-33-ILC2 axis. IL-33-expressing tumour environment stimulates the development of ILC2 cells and functionally activates them through the ST2 receptor pathway. Functionally active ILC2s alter the tumour microenvironment triggering both innate and adaptive immune responses. ILC2s recruit DCs through IL-13 production, stimulate Th2 cells and possibly Th1 cells through direct ILC2 antigen presentation via MHC-II molecules, and indirectly stimulate CTL precursor cells through DC endogenous antigen presentation or cross-presentation via MHC-I molecules. Th1 and Th2 cells may also be activated by DCs through exogenous antigen presentation via MHC-II molecules. Through the release of IL-5 by ILC2s and subsequent recruitment of eosinophils, the chemokine profiles of tumour microenvironment is changed to attract Th1 and CD8+ T cells and to direct the activation of CTL-mediated killing and cancer rejection. This mechanism acts to suppress the frequency of circulating tumours cell and subsequent metastasis. In metastatic tumours with low IL-33 content, the IL-33/ILC2 pathway is not initiated and immune escape is facilitated.

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 3. Analysis of CD8+ lymphocyte and macrophage infiltrates following injection of plasmid vectors into Fabry mouse muscles. Plasmid vectors (A, C, E, G, I, K) pX61MCK and (B, D, F, H, J, L) pX61 were injected into TA muscles of 4-week-old Fabry mice and muscle sections were taken 2 weeks postinjection. (A–F) Immunolocalization of CD8+ T cells. Red fluorescence signal corresponds to CD8+ expression on cytotoxic T lymphocytes infiltrating injected muscle; nuclear counterstaining (YOPRO-1) is shown in green. (I–N) Immunolocalization of macrophages. Purple staining denotes macrophage-specific staining; nuclear counterstaining (methyl green) is in blue-green. (G, H, O, and P) Serum-only negative controls. Note the significant number of CD8+ cells and macrophages infiltrating muscle fibers injected with pX61 at 2 weeks postinjection compared to no staining in muscle injected with pX61MCK at any time point or with pX61 at 5 weeks postinjection. For detection of CD8+ T cells rat anti-mouse CD8 antibody (Serotec; YTS 169.4) was used (1/500 in 10% goat serum) with chicken anti- rat IgG conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647 (1/200 in 2% goat serum) secondary detection and YOPRO-1 (both from Molecular Probes) cell nucleus counterstaining. Samples were analyzed using an LSM 510 confocal microscope (Zeiss), with excitation at 650 and 488 nm and emission at 668 and 510 nm for Alexa and YOPRO-1, respectively. For detection of macrophages, rat anti-mouse F4/80 biotinylated antibody (Serotec; MCA 497B) was used (1/100 in 10% goat serum) with immunohistochemical visualization (VECTAstain and VIP kits; Vector Laboratories). In both cases negative controls were incubated with 10% goat serum only.
