The role of IL-33 particularly in tumor growth and tumor immunity remains ill defined. We show here that exogenous IL-33 can induce robust antitumor effect through a CD8+ T cell-dependent mechanism. Systemic administration of recombinant IL-33 (rIL-33) alone was sufficient to inhibit growth of established tumors in both transplant and de novo melanoma tumorigenesis models. Notably, in addition to a direct action on CD8+ T cell expansion and IFN-γ production, rIL-33 therapy activated myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) in tumor-bearing mice, restored antitumor T cell activity and increased antigen cross-presentation within the tumor microenvironment. Furthermore, combination therapy with rIL-33 and agonistic anti-CD40 antibodies demonstrated synergistic antitumor activity. Specifically, MyD88, an essential component of the IL-33 signaling pathway, was required for the IL-33-mediated increase in mDC number and upregulation of costimulatory molecule expression. Importantly, we identified that the IL-33 receptor ST2, MyD88 and STAT1 cooperate to induce costimulatory molecule expression on mDCs in response to rIL-33. Our study has thus revealed a novel IL-33-ST2-MyD88-STAT1 axis that restores mDC activation and maturation in established cancer, and thereby the magnitude of anti-tumor immune responses, suggesting a potential use of rIL-33 as a new immunotherapy option to treat established cancer.
