Chemotherapy-induced tumor immunogenicity is mediated in part by megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors

Chemotherapy remains one of the main treatment modalities for cancer. While chemotherapy is mainly known for its ability to kill tumor cells directly, accumulating evidence indicates that it also acts indirectly by enhancing T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity sometimes through immunogenic cell death. However, the role of immature immune cells in chemotherapy-induced immunomodulation has not been studied. Here, we utilized a mouse pancreatic cancer model to characterize the effects of gemcitabine chemotherapy on immature bone marrow cells in the context of tumor immunogenicity. Single cell RNA sequencing of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells revealed a 3-fold increase in megakaryocyte-erythroid progenitors (MEPs) in the bone marrow of gemcitabine-treated mice in comparison to untreated control mice. Notably, adoptive transfer of MEPs to pancreatic tumor-bearing mice significantly reduced tumor growth and increased the levels of anti-tumor immune cells in tumors and peripheral blood. Furthermore, MEPs increased the tumor cell killing activity of CD8 + T cells and NK cells, an effect that was dependent on MEP-secreted CCL5 and CXCL16. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that chemotherapy-induced enrichment of MEPs in the bone marrow compartment contributes to anti-tumor immunity.
