摘要

T cell immunoglobulin and ITIM domain (TIGIT) is one of the most important immune checkpoints expressed on lymphocytes, and poliovirus receptor (PVR, also CD155) serves as the most crucial ligand for TIGIT, harboring an important function in cancer cells and influencing the tumor microenvironment (TME). While it’s well-established that TIGIT blockade could reverse immunosuppression, the question of whether direct inhibition of PVR yields comparable results remains to be fully elucidated. This study investigated the role of PVR within the TME on the LLC, CT26 and MC38 tumor models and found that direct blockade of PVR on tumor cells could trigger T cell activation, enhance the production of immunostimulatory cytokine IFN-γ, and drive the differentiation of intratumoral myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) into pro-inflammatory macrophages through the IFN-γ-p-STAT1-IRF8 axis. Furthermore, this study found that the anti-PVR nanobody monotherapy reduced tumor volume in the CT26 and MC38 tumor models. Combination of anti-PVR nanobody and anti-PD-1 antibody was effective in the LLC, CT26 and MC38 tumor models and had acceptable toxicity. These findings collectively suggest that PVR exhibits considerable promise as a therapeutic target in the development of immunotherapies aimed at augmenting the anti-tumor immune response.
