CD73-positive extracellular vesicles promote glioblastoma immunosuppression by inhibiting T-cell clonal expansion
Abstract Extracellular vesicles are involved in the occurrence, progression and metastasis of glioblastoma (GBM). GBM can secrete a variety of tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (TDEVs) with high immunosuppressive activity that remotely suppress the systemic immune system, and therapy targeting T...

| Sumario: | Abstract Extracellular vesicles are involved in the occurrence, progression and metastasis of glioblastoma (GBM). GBM can secrete a variety of tumour-derived extracellular vesicles (TDEVs) with high immunosuppressive activity that remotely suppress the systemic immune system, and therapy targeting TDEVs has potential efficacy. In this study, we detected a higher concentration of CD73+ TDEVs enriched in exosomes in central and peripheral body fluids of GBM patients than in those of patients with other brain tumours (low-grade glioma or brain metastases from melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer). High CD73 expression was detected on the surface of T cells, and this CD73 was derived from TDEVs secreted by GBM cells. In vitro, we observed that CD73+ TDEVs released by GBM cell lines could be taken up by T cells. Moreover, excess adenosine was produced by AMP degradation around T cells and by adenosine receptor 2A (A2AR)-dependent inhibition of aerobic glycolysis and energy-related metabolic substrate production, thereby inhibiting the cell cycle entry and clonal proliferation of T cells. In vivo, defects in exosomal synthesis and CD73 expression significantly inhibited tumour growth in GBM tumour-bearing mice and restored the clonal proliferation of T cells in the central and peripheral regions. These data indicate that CD73+ TDEVs can be used as a potential target for GBM immunotherapy. |
