中文摘要
免疫细胞浸润有限以及新表位和肿瘤相关抗原(TAA)经主要组织相容性复合体I类(MHC-I)提呈的缺陷,是有效免疫治疗的关键障碍。本研究探讨粒子放射治疗(RT)是否能够调节肿瘤抗原提呈和T细胞募集。通过评估质子、氦离子、碳离子和氧离子,我们评估了不同的生物物理特性——尤其是电离密度(线性能量传递,LET)——如何影响免疫启动。为此,我们评估了一组全面的人肿瘤细胞系(CaSki、SK-MEL-37、A549、PC3、LNCaP)以及同基因C57BL/6小鼠中的B16-F1黑色素瘤、GL261和005基因工程胶质母细胞瘤模型中MHC-I表达的诱导。流式细胞术显示MHC-I上调具有时间、剂量和LET依赖性。使用同基因STING-KO B16细胞证实了cGAS-STING通路的作用,这些细胞表现出RT诱导的MHC-I表达减少。在体内,高LET碳离子照射(CIRT)导致肿瘤MHC-I表达增强以及CD3⁺和CD8+ T细胞的瘤内浸润增加。过继转移超顺磁性氧化铁纳米颗粒("SPION")标记的T细胞,随后进行高场MRI示踪,证实了在分次(5 × 3 Gy)和单次超高剂量率(uHDR,FLASH)CIRT后瘤内流入增强。使用单细胞RNA测序和质谱流式细胞术(CyTOF)进一步表征了肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞(TIL)组成和免疫记忆。总的来说,这些数据表明,调节RT品质能够改善新抗原表达、MHC-I提呈和T细胞募集,凸显了粒子放射治疗重编程肿瘤免疫微环境的潜力。

Limited immune cell infiltration and deficient presentation of neoepitopes and tumor-associated antigens (TAA) via major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) represent key barriers to effective immunotherapy. This study investigates whether particle radiotherapy (RT) can modulate tumor antigen presentation and T cell recruitment. By evaluating protons, helium, carbon, and oxygen ions, we assessed how distinct biophysical properties-particularly ionization density (linear energy transfer, LET)-influence immune priming. To this end, we evaluated the induction of MHC-I expression in a comprehensive panel of human tumor cell lines (CaSki, SK-MEL-37, A549, PC3, LNCaP), as well as in B16-F1 melanoma, GL261 and 005 genetically engineered glioblastoma models in syngeneic C57BL/6 mouse. Flow cytometry revealed MHC-I upregulation is time-, dose-, and LET-dependent. The role of the cGAS-STING pathway was confirmed using isogenic STING-KO B16 cells, which exhibited reduced RT-induced MHC-I expression. In vivo, high-LET carbon ion irradiation (CIRT) resulted in enhanced tumor MHC-I expression and increased intratumoral infiltration of CD3⁺ and CD8+ T cells. Adoptive transfer of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (“SPION”)-labeled T cells, followed by high-field MRI tracing, confirmed enhanced intratumoral influx after fractionated (5 × 3 Gy) and single ultra-High Dose Rate (uHDR, FLASH) CIRT. Further characterization of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) composition and immunological memory was performed using single-cell RNA sequencing and mass cytometry (CyTOF). Collectively,
these data indicate that modulating RT quality can improve neoantigen expression, MHC-I presentation, and T cell recruitment, highlighting the potential of particle radiotherapy to reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment.
