PGE(2), synthesized by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-overexpressing tumor, is known to contribute to cellular immune suppression in cancer patients, but the mechanism remains unclear. We report the mechanism of a CD4(+) T regulatory type 1 (Tr1) induction by CD11c(+) mature dendritic cells (DCs) that phagocytose allogeneic and autologous COX-2-overexpressing glioma. A human glioma cell line, U-87MG, and primary cultured glioblastoma cells (MG-377) overexpressed COX-2. We did not detect IL-10Ralpha expression in these gliomas, and rIL-10 did not suppress their COX-2 expression. Exposure to COX-2-overexpressing glioma induced mature DCs to overexpress IL-10 and decreased IL-12p70 production. These DCs induced a Tr1 response, which is characterized by robust secretion of IL-10 and TGF-beta with negligible IL-4 secretion by CD4(+) T cells, and an inhibitory effect on admixed lymphocytes. Peripheral CD4(+) T cell populations isolated from an MG-377 patient also predominantly demonstrated a Tr1 response against MG-377 cells. Selective COX-2 inhibition in COX-2-overexpressing gliomas at the time of phagocytic uptake by DCs abrogated this regulatory response and instead elicited Th1 activity. COX-2 stable transfectants in LN-18 (LN-18-COX2) also induced a Tr1 response. The effect of a COX-2 inhibition in LN-18-COX2 is reversible after administration of PGE(2). Taken together, robust levels of PGE(2) from COX-2-overexpressing glioma, which is unresponsive to IL-10 within the local microenvironment, may cause DCs to secrete high levels of IL-10. These results indicate that COX-2-overexpressing tumors induce a Tr1 response, which is mediated by tumor-exposed, IL-10-enhanced DCs.
