IDO (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) enzyme inhibitors have entered clinical trials for cancer treatment based on preclinical studies indicating that they can defeat immune escape and broadly enhance other therapeutic modalities. However, clear genetic evidence of IDO’s impact on tumorigenesis in physiologic models of primary or metastatic disease is lacking. Investigating the impact of Ido1 gene disruption in mouse models of oncogenic KRAS-induced lung carcinoma and breast carcinoma-derived pulmonary metastasis, we have found that IDO-deficiency resulted in reduced lung tumor burden and improved survival in both models. Micro-CT imaging further revealed that the density of the underlying pulmonary blood vessels was significantly reduced in Ido1-nullizygous mice. During lung tumor and metastasis outgrowth, IL6 induction was greatly attenuated in conjunction with the loss of IDO. Biologically, this resulted in a consequential impairment of pro-tumorigenic MDSCs (myeloid-derived suppressor cells), as restoration of IL6 recovered both MDSC suppressor function and metastasis susceptibility in Ido1-nullizygous mice. Together, our findings define IDO as a prototypical integrative modifier that bridges inflammation, vascularization and immune escape to license primary and metastatic tumor outgrowth.
