TY - JOUR TI - Exosomal LGALS9 in the cerebrospinal fluid of glioblastoma patients suppressed dendritic cell antigen presentation and cytotoxic T-cell immunity AU - Wang, Ming AU - Cai, Yang AU - Peng, Yong AU - Xu, Bo AU - Hui, Wentao AU - Jiang, Yugang T2 - Cell Death & Disease AB - Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is highly invasive, with a high recurrence rate and limited treatment options, and is the deadliest glioma. Exosomes (Exos) have attracted much attention in the diagnosis and treatment of GBM and are expected to address the severe limitations of biopsy conditions. Exos in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have great potential in GBM dynamic monitoring and intervention strategies. Here, we evaluated the difference in the proteome information of Exos from the CSF (CSF-Exos) between GBM patients and low-grade glioma patients, and the correlations between GBM-CSF-Exos and immunosuppressive properties. Our results indicates that GBM-CSF-Exos contained a unique protein, LGALS9 ligand, which bound to the TIM3 receptor of dendritic cells (DCs) in the CSF to inhibit antigen recognition, processing and presentation by DCs, leading to failure of the cytotoxic T-cell-mediated antitumor immune response. Blocking the secretion of exosomal LGALS9 from GBM tumors could cause mice to exhibit sustained DC tumor antigen-presenting activity and long-lasting antitumor immunity. We concluded that GBM cell-derived exosomal LGALS9 acts as a major regulator of tumor progression by inhibiting DC antigen presentation and cytotoxic T-cell activation in the CSF and that loss of this inhibitory effect can lead to durable systemic antitumor immunity.
