项目摘要

While the presence of nerves in solid tumors has been observed for hundreds of years, investigation of the impact of these nerves on tumor growth has only been initiated in the last 10 years. The bulk of this work has focused on the impact of neurotransmitters on tumor cell growth and metastasis, however immune cells also express receptors for a wide variety of neurotransmitters, which can have immune-activating and immuneinhibiting properties. In preliminary studies using a murine breast cancer model, we have found that the presence of sensory nerves is necessary for tumor inhibition by the adaptive immune system. Furthermore, blockade of a specific neurotransmitter produced by sensory nerves, calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) inhibited tumor growth and improved T cell infiltration into tumors, suggesting both pro- and anti-tumor activities for sensory nerves in breast cancer. In this project, we will decipher how sensory nerves promote adaptive immune responses to tumors. We will also investigate the mechanism by which CGRP inhibition improves tumor control, and whether this treatment can synergize with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Finally, we will evaluate whether presence of sensory nerves, adrenergic nerves, or specific neurotransmitters including CGRP correlate with immune infiltration and response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Overall these studies will provide critical information on a potentially novel immunotherapeutic pathway that can be modulated in patients to promote tumor control.

虽然实体瘤中神经的存在已经观察了数百年，但对神经的研究仍然是一个难题。这些神经对肿瘤生长的影响仅在最近10年才开始。这项工作的大部分集中于神经递质对肿瘤细胞生长和转移的影响，然而免疫细胞也表达多种神经递质的受体，这些神经递质可以具有免疫激活和免疫抑制作用。特性.在使用小鼠乳腺癌模型的初步研究中，我们发现，感觉神经的存在对于适应性免疫系统抑制肿瘤是必需的。此外，委员会认为，阻断由感觉神经产生的特定神经递质降钙素基因相关肽（CGRP）抑制肿瘤生长和改善T细胞浸润到肿瘤中，这表明促进和抗肿瘤乳腺癌的感觉神经活动。在这个项目中，我们将破译感觉神经如何促进对肿瘤的适应性免疫反应我们还将研究CGRP抑制的机制，改善肿瘤控制，以及这种治疗是否可以与抗PD-1免疫疗法协同作用。最后我们将评估是否存在感觉神经、肾上腺素能神经或特定神经递质，包括降钙素基因相关肽与乳腺癌免疫浸润及化疗疗效的关系整体这些研究将提供一个潜在的新的免疫途径的关键信息，在患者中调节以促进肿瘤控制。
