Abstract
Peritoneal metastases are associated with a low response rate to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. The numbers of peritoneal resident macrophages (PRMs) are reversely correlated with the response rate to ICB therapy. We have previously shown that TLR9 in fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) plays a critical role in regulating peritoneal immune cell recruitment. However, the role of TLR9 in FRCs in regulating PRMs is unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the class A TLR9 agonist, ODN1585, markedly enhanced the efficacy of anti–PD-1 therapy in mouse models of colorectal peritoneal metastases. ODN1585 injected i.p. reduced the numbers of Tim4+ PRMs and enhanced CD8+ T cell antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, treatment of ODN1585 suppressed the expression of genes required for retinoid metabolism in FRCs, and this was associated with reduced expression of the PRM lineage–defining transcription factor GATA6. Selective deletion of TLR9 in FRCs diminished the benefit of ODN1585 in anti–PD-1 therapy in reducing peritoneal metastases. The crosstalk between PRMs and FRCs may be utilized to develop new strategies to improve the efficacy of ICB therapy for peritoneal metastases.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
