Abstract
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is an incurable and cosmetically disfiguring disease associated with microenvironmental signals. We investigated the effects of CD47 and PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockades, as a strategy for targeting both innate and adaptive immunity. CIBERSORT analysis identified the immune-cell composition in the CTCL tumor microenvironment and the immune checkpoint expression profile for each immune-cell gene cluster from CTCL lesions. We investigated the relationship between MYC and CD47 and PD-L1 expression and found that MYC short hairpin RNA knockdown and MYC functional suppression by TTI-621 (SIRPαFc) and anti-PD-L1 (durvalumab) in CTCL cell lines reduced the expression of CD47 and PDL1 mRNA and protein as measured by qPCR and flow cytometry, respectively. In vitro, blockade of the CD47-SIRPα interaction with TTI-621 increased the phagocytic activity of macrophages against CTCL cells and enhanced CD8+ T-cell-mediated killing in a mixed leucocyte reaction. Moreover, TTI-621 synergized with anti-PD-L1 in macrophages reprogram to M1-like phenotypes and inhibited CTCL cell growth. These effects were mediated by cell death-related pathways, including apoptosis, autophagy, and necroptosis. Collectively, our findings show that CD47 and PD-L1 are critical regulators of immune surveillance in CTCL and that dual targeting of CD47 and PD-L1 will provide insight into tumor immunotherapy for CTCL.
