Description
  • Abstract en The mechanisms by which tumor microenvironments modulate nucleic acid-mediated innate immunity remain unknown. Here, we identified the receptor TIM-3 as key to circumventing the stimulatory effects of nucleic acids in tumor immunity. TIM-3 is highly expressed on tumor-associated dendritic cells (DC) in murine tumors and cancer patients. DC-derived TIM-3 suppresses innate immune responses through Toll-like receptor and cytosolic sensor recognition of nucleic acids via a galectin-9 independent mechanism. Instead, TIM-3 interacts with the HMGB1 to interfere with recruitment of nucleic acids into DC endosomes and attenuates the therapeutic efficacy of DNA vaccination and chemotherapy by reducing immunogenicity of nucleic acids released from dying tumor cells. Together, these findings define a novel mechanism by which tumor microenvironments suppress antitumor immunity mediated by nucleic acids.
