Influence of hypoxia on tumour cell susceptibility to cytotoxic T lymphocyte mediated lysis / Influence de l’hypoxie sur la susceptibilité des cellules tumorales à la lyse induite par les lymphocytes T cytotoxiques

Noman, Muhammad zaeem 28 September 2012 (has links)
L’hypoxie est une caractéristique commune des tumeurs solides et l’une des spécificités du micro environnement tumoral. L’hypoxie tumorale joue un rôle important dans l’angio génèse, la progression maligne, le développement de métastases, la chimio/radio-résistance et favorise l’échappement au système immunitaire du fait de l’émergence de variant tumoraux avec un potentiel de survie et de résistance à l’apoptose augmenté. Cependant, très peu de travaux ont étudié l’impact de l’hypoxie tumorale sur la régulation de la susceptibilité des tumeurs à la lyse induite par la réponse immune cytotoxique. Nous nous sommes donc demandé si l’hypoxie pouvait conférer aux tumeurs une résistance à la lyse induite par les lymphocytes T cytotoxiques (CTL). Nous avons démontré que l’exposition de cellules cibles tumorales à l’hypoxie possédait un effet inhibiteur sur la lyse de ces cellules tumorales par des CTL autologues. Cette inhibition n’est pas associée à des altérations de la réactivité de CTL ou de la reconnaissance des cellules cibles. Cependant, nous avons montré que l’induction hypoxique concomitante de la phosphorylation de STAT3 (pSTAT3) au niveau de la tyrosine 705 et du facteur HIF-1α (Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 alpha) est liée fonctionnellement à l’altération de la susceptibilité de cellules tumorales bronchiques non à petites cellules (NSCLC) à la mort induite par les CTL. Nous avons aussi montré que la résistance de cellules tumorales bronchiques à la lyse CTL induite par l’hypoxie était associée à une induction d’autophagie dans les cellules cibles. En effet, l’inhibition de l’autophagie empêche la phosphorylation de STAT3 (via l’inhibition de la kinase Src) et restaure la susceptibilité des cellules tumorales hypoxiques à la lyse induite par les CTL. De plus, l’inhibition in vivo de l’autophagie par l’hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) dans le modèle murin portant la tumeur B16F10 and chez les souris vaccinée avec le peptide TRP2 augmente de façon drastique l’inhibition de la croissance tumorale. Collectivement, cette étude établit un nouveau lien fonctionnel entre l’autophagie induite par l’hypoxie et la régulation de la lyse induite par les cellules T spécifique d’antigènes et souligne le rôle majeur de l’autophagie dans le contrôle de la croissance tumorale in vivo.Finalement, étant donné que le la résistance tumorale à la lyse induite par les cellules tueuses est très probablement régulée par de multiples facteurs, nous avons aussi eu pour but d’identifier les micro-ARNs (miRs) régulés par l’hypoxie dans des modèles de NSCLC et de mélanome et leur implication putative dans la régulation de la susceptibilité tumorale à la lyse induite par les cellules T spécifique d’antigènes. Le micro-ARN 210 (miR-210) est ainsi significativement induit de manière dépendante de HIF-1α dans des cellules de NSCLC et de mélanome, et miR-210 est exprimé dans les zones hypoxiques de tissus issus de NSCLC. De plus, nous avons démontré que l’induction de miR-210 par l’hypoxie régule la susceptibilité tumorale à la lyse induite par les CTL en partie grâce à l’inhibition de l’expression de PTPN, HOXA1 et TP53I11, indiquant que miR-210 joue un rôle potentiel dans la régulation de la réponse immune antitumorale. / Hypoxia is a common feature of solid tumors and one of the hallmarks of tumor microenvironment. Tumor hypoxia plays an important role in angiogenesis, malignant progression, metastatic development, chemo-radio resistance and favours immune evasion by the emergence of tumor variants with increased survival and anti-apoptotic potential. There is very little work done on the impact of tumor hypoxia on the regulation of tumor susceptibility to the lysis induced by cytotoxic antitumor response. Therefore, we asked whether hypoxia confers tumor resistance to cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated killing. We demonstrated that exposure of target cells to hypoxia has an inhibitory effect on the CTL-mediated autologous target cell lysis. Such inhibition was not associated with an alteration of CTL reactivity and tumor target recognition. We also showed that the concomitant hypoxic induction of Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation on tyrosine 705 residue (pSTAT3) and hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is functionally linked to the alteration of Non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) target susceptibility to CTL-mediated killing. We also showed that hypoxia-induced resistance of lung tumor to CTL-mediated lysis was associated with autophagy induction in target cells. Inhibition of autophagy resulted in impairment of pSTAT3 (via inhibition Src kinase) and restoration of hypoxic tumor cell susceptibility to CTL-mediated lysis. Moreover, in vivo inhibition of autophagy by hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in B16F10 tumor bearing mice and mice vaccinated with TRP2 peptide dramatically increased tumor growth inhibition. Collectively, the current study establishes a novel functional link between hypoxia-induced autophagy and the regulation of antigen specific T cell lysis and points to a major role of autophagy in the control of in vivo tumor growth.Finally, as resistance of tumor targets to killer cells is likely to be regulated by multiple factors, we further aimed to identify the microRNA’s regulated by hypoxia in NSCLC and melanoma and their putative involvement in the regulation of tumor susceptibility to antigen-specific CTL-mediated killing. MicroRNA-210 (miR-210) was significantly induced in a HIF-1α dependent manner in NSCLC and melanoma cells and miR-210 was expressed in hypoxic zones of human NSCLC tissues. Moreover, we demonstrated that hypoxia-induced miR-210 regulates tumor cell susceptibility to CTL-mediated lysis in part by suppressing PTPN, HOXA1 and TP53I11 expression indicating that miR-210 plays a potential role in the regulation of anti-tumor immune response.
