Novel combinatorial therapy of oncolytic adenovirus AdV5/3-D24-ICOSL-CD40L with anti PD-1 exhibits enhanced anti-cancer efficacy through promotion of intratumoral T-cell infiltration and modulation of tumour microenvironment in mesothelioma mouse model

IntroductionMalignant mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Despite improvements in cancer treatment, there are still no curative treatment modalities for advanced stage of the malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of a novel combinatorial therapy...

description IntroductionMalignant mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Despite improvements in cancer treatment, there are still no curative treatment modalities for advanced stage of the malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of a novel combinatorial therapy combining AdV5/3-D24-ICOSL-CD40L, an oncolytic vector, with an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody.MethodsThe efficacy of the vector was confirmed in vitro in three mesothelioma cell lines – H226, Mero-82, and MSTO-211H, and subsequently the antineoplastic properties in combination with anti-PD-1 was evaluated in xenograft H226 mesothelioma BALB/c and humanized NSG mouse models.Results and discussionAnticancer efficacy was attributed to reduced tumour volume and increased infiltration of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, including activated cytotoxic T-cells (GrB+CD8+). Additionally, a correlation between tumour volume and activated CD8+ tumour infiltrating lymphocytes was observed. These findings were confirmed by transcriptomic analysis carried out on resected human tumour tissue, which also revealed upregulation of CD83 and CRTAM, as well as several chemokines (CXCL3, CXCL9, CXCL11) in the tumour microenvironment. Furthermore, according to observations, the combinatorial therapy had the strongest effect on reducing mesothelin and MUC16 levels. Gene set enrichment analysis suggested that the combinatorial therapy induced changes to the expression of genes belonging to the “adaptive immune response” gene ontology category. Combinatorial therapy with oncolytic adenovirus with checkpoint inhibitors may improve anticancer efficacy and survival by targeted cancer cell destruction and triggering of immunogenic cell death. Obtained results support further assessment of the AdV5/3-D24-ICOSL-CD40L in combination with checkpoint inhibitors as a novel therapeutic perspective for mesothelioma treatment.
