Abstract

4-1BB costimulates T cells to carry out effector functions such as eradication of established tumours. 4-1BB (CD137) is a member of the TNF receptor family, and its triggering by either 4-1BB ligand or antibody ligation induces T-cell activation and growth. We analysed tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in the experimental B16F10 melanoma model to determine the mechanisms involved in 4-1BB-mediated tumour suppression. 4-1BB(+/+) mice survived longer than 4-1BB(-/-) mice, and survival was further prolonged by triggering 4-1BB with an agonistic mAb. The number of metastatic B16F10 colonies in the lung was much greater in 4-1BB(-/-) mice than in their 4-1BB(+/+) littermates. Administration of agonistic anti-4-1BB mAb increased the number of TIL in the tumour masses in the lungs of 4-1BB(+/+) mice. The numbers of CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T and CD11b(+) TIL increased in these mice. Anti-4-1BB mAb induced not only CD8(+) 4-1BB(+) T cells but also a CD8(+) IFN-gamma(+) T-cell population. B16F10 cells from the lungs of anti-4-1BB-treated mice showed enhanced expression of MHC class Iota and IotaIota antigens compared with the same cells from control IgG-treated mice. Thus, the increase in number of CD8(+) T cells and enhanced MHC Iota and IotaIota expression in B16F10 cells that result from augmented IFN-gamma production in response to anti-4-1BB mAb may lead to suppression of tumour growth and metastasis.
