The composition of the gut microbiome can control innate and adaptive immunity and has emerged as a key regulator of tumor growth, especially in the context of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms for how the microbiome impacts tumor growth remain unclear. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tends to be refractory to therapy, including ICB. Using a non-targeted, LC-MS/MS based metabolomic screen, we identified a gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) that enhanced anti-tumor immunity to PDAC. Delivery of TMAO intraperitoneally or via a dietary choline supplement to orthotopic PDAC bearing mice reduced tumor growth and associated with an immunostimulatory tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) phenotype and activated effector T cell response in the tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, TMAO potentiated type-I interferon (IFN) pathway and conferred anti-tumor effects in a type-I IFN dependent manner. Notably, delivering TMAO-primed macrophages intravenously produced similar anti-tumor effects. Combining TMAO with ICB (anti-PD1 and/or anti-Tim3) in a mouse model of PDAC significantly reduced tumor burden and improved survival beyond TMAO or ICB alone. Finally, the levels of bacteria containing CutC (an enzyme that generates trimethylamine, the TMAO precursor) correlated with long-term survival in PDAC patients and improved response to anti-PD1 in melanoma patients. Together, our study identifies the gut microbial metabolite TMAO as a driver of anti-tumor immunity and lays the groundwork for potential therapeutic strategies targeting TMAO. The microbial metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) relieves immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer.
