Cancers, Vol. 9, Pages 62: Local Immune Responsiveness of Mice Bearing Premalignant Oral Lesions to PD-1 Antibody Treatment

A carcinogen-induced premalignant oral lesion model that progresses to oral cancer was used to examine the immunological impact of a 5-week treatment regimen to block programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). PD-1 antibody treatment resulted in concurrent, but transient, increases in interleukin (IL)-2, IFN-γ and IL-17, and delayed increases in IL-6 and IL-10 within the lesion-bearing tongue epithelium. In contrast, cytokine secretion by lymph node cells of PD-1 antibody-treated mice was lower than for mice treated with control antibodies, with the exception of interferon (IFN)-γ, whose secretion increased late in the treatment period. This delayed secretion of IFN-γ coincided with an increase in CD4+ lymph node cells expressing IFN-γ. Lymph node cells of PD-1 antibody-treated mice reacted to a challenge with lysates of lesions or cancer by early production of IFN-γ, but this rapidly subsided. There also was increased production IL-17 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in response to the challenge, but the response was greatest by cells of control lesion-bearing mice. Clinical assessment showed an early but transient, stabilization of disease in mice treated with PD-1 antibody. These results show an early beneficial, but time-limited, response to PD-1 antibody treatment, which then fails with continued lesion progression.
