Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common form of malignant glioma in adults. Although protected by both the blood brain- and blood tumor-barriers, T cells actively infiltrate GBM. Previous work has shown that IDO, CTLA-4 and PD-L1 are dominant molecular participants in the suppression of GBM immunity. This includes IDO-mediated regulatory T cell (Treg; CD4+CD25+FoxP3+) accumulation, the interaction of T cell-expressed, CTLA-4, with dendritic cell-expressed, CD80, as well as the interaction of tumor- and/or macrophage-expressed, PD-L1, with T cell-expressed, PD-1. The individual inhibition of each pathway has been shown to increase survival in the context of experimental GBM. However, the impact of simultaneously targeting all three pathways in blood tumor-barriers, GBMs are actively infiltrated by T cells. In this report, we demonstrate that, when dually-challenged, IDO-deficient tumors provide a selectively competitive survival advantage against IDO-competent tumors. Next, we provide novel observations regarding tryptophan catabolic enzyme expression, before showing that the therapeutic inhibition of IDO, CTLA-4 and PD-L1 in a mouse model of well-established glioma maximally decreases tumor-infiltrating Tregs, coincident with a significant increase in T cell-mediated long-term survival. In fact, 100% of mice bearing intracranial tumors were long-term survivors following triple combination therapy. The expression and/or frequency of T cell-expressed CD44, CTLA-4, PD-1 and IFN-γ depended on timing after immunotherapeutic administration. Collectively, these data provide strong pre-clinical evidence that combinatorially-targeting immunosuppression in malignant glioma is a strategy that has high potential value for future clinical trials in patients with GBM.
