The inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling with antibodies or small molecules achieves clinical benefits in diverse solid malignancies. Nonetheless, therapeutic effects are usually not sustained, and most patients eventually succumb to progressive disease, indicating that anti-angiogenic strategies require additional optimization. Vaccination with lethally irradiated, autologous tumor cells engineered to secrete granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and antibody blockade of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) trigger a tumor vasculopathy in some long-term responding subjects. These reactions are characterized by disrupted tumor blood vessels in association with lymphocyte and granulocyte infiltrates and zonal areas of ischemic tumor necrosis. However, the mechanisms underlying this immune mediated destruction of the tumor vasculature remain to be clarified. Here, we show that GM-CSF secreting tumor cell vaccines and CTLA-4 blockade elicit a functionally important humoral reaction against multiple angiogenic cytokines. Antibodies to angiopoietin-1 and -2 block Tie-2 binding, downstream signaling, endothelial cell tube formation, and macrophage chemotaxis. Antibodies to macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF) attenuate macrophage Tie-2 expression and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) production. Together, these results delineate an immunotherapy induced host response that broadly targets the angiogenic network in the tumor microenvironment.
