摘要

Many non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remain unresponsive to the current standard of care, which includes chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, like anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. While interleukin (IL)-1β is known to promote lung cancer growth in humans and mice, we show here that IL-1β administration or overexpression overcomes resistance to classical chemo-immunotherapy (cisplatin/pemetrexed/anti-PD-1) in mouse lung cancer models. The antitumor effects of IL-1β rely on cancer cell-derived CXCL10 which mediates CD8 T cell recruitment at the tumor site. In lung cancer cells, Thioredoxin Interacting Protein (TXNIP) induces mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release in the cytosol, activating Absence in Melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome, which subsequently triggers IL-1β and CXCL10 secretion, thereby reversing chemo-immunotherapy resistance. The clinical relevance of our findings is supported by the transcriptomic analysis of patient tumors, showing that high expression of IL1B, IL1R1, AIM2 and/or TXNIP is associated with better response to immunotherapy in NSCLC patients. Additionally, drug screening identifies MEK and MDM2 inhibitors as inducers of TXNIP expression capable of reversing resistance to chemo-immunotherapy. This study highlights a positive role of IL-1β in lung cancer treatment and suggests that enhancing IL-1β production at the tumor site can overcome resistance to chemo-immunotherapy.
