Breast cancer‐derived transforming growth factor‐β and tumor necrosis factor‐α compromise interferon‐α production by tumor‐associated plasmacytoid dendritic cells

Abstract: We previously reported that plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) infiltrating breast tumors are impaired for their interferon-a (IFN-a) production, resulting in local regulatory T cells amplification. We designed our study to decipher molecular mechanisms of such functional defect of tumor-associated pDC (TApDC) in breast cancer. We demonstrate that besides IFN-a, the production by Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated healthy pDC of IFN-b and TNF-a but not IP-10/CXCL10 nor MIP1-a/CCL3 is impaired by the breast tu… Show more

“…These data suggest that soluble factors secreted by tumor cells may be partly responsible for inducing BST-2 expression in mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, our data is in agreement with a published report which showed that breast tumor environment blocks type IFN production (Sisirak et al, 2013). To identify the soluble factors present in TCM, we used mouse inflammatory cytokines multi-analyte ELISArray Kit to identify the cytokines secreted into culture medium.…”

“…These data are consistent with the specific alteration of TLR9 response previously reported by us (19,20) and others on both human tumor and immune cells (17,28). Although pDC hyporesponsiveness to TLR9 ligands might be explained by receptor downregulation (17,28), we showed that it is rather due to a specific interference of the tumor microenvironment, for instance via IRF7 downregulation (29). Tumor-induced TLR9 loss of function might represent an immunosubversion mechanism to avoid immune alert by putative endogenous ligands for TLR9 within the tumor microenvironment, such as described in autoimmune disorders (30)(31)(32).…”

“…Certain studies have reported that targeting tumor-associated plasmacytoid dendritic cells to restore their IFN-α production may be an achievable therapeutic strategy to induce antitumor immunity in breast cancer (30)(31)(32). These studies suggested that IFN-α was important for the inhibition of breast cancer development (30)(31)(32). In the present study, the level of IFN-α in all six groups treated with RJ was significantly increased, indicating that RJ serves an important role in immunomodulation.…”
