Description:
Cyclophosphamide is one of several clinically important cancer drugs whose therapeutic efficacy is due in part to their ability to stimulate antitumor immune responses. Studying mouse models, we demonstrate that cyclophosphamide alters the composition of microbiota in the small intestine and induces the translocation of selected species of Gram-positive bacteria into secondary lymphoid organs. There, these bacteria stimulate the generation of a specific subset of "pathogenic" T helper 17 (pT(H)17) cells and memory T(H)1 immune responses. Tumor-bearing mice that were germ-free or that had been treated with antibiotics to kill Gram-positive bacteria showed a reduction in pT(H)17 responses, and their tumors were resistant to cyclophosphamide. Adoptive transfer of pT(H)17 cells partially restored the antitumor efficacy of cyclophosphamide. These results suggest that the gut microbiota help shape the anticancer immune response.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4048947/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4048947/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Viaud, Sophie -- Saccheri, Fabiana -- Mignot, Gregoire -- Yamazaki, Takahiro -- Daillere, Romain -- Hannani, Dalil -- Enot, David P -- Pfirschke, Christina -- Engblom, Camilla -- Pittet, Mikael J -- Schlitzer, Andreas -- Ginhoux, Florent -- Apetoh, Lionel -- Chachaty, Elisabeth -- Woerther, Paul-Louis -- Eberl, Gerard -- Berard, Marion -- Ecobichon, Chantal -- Clermont, Dominique -- Bizet, Chantal -- Gaboriau-Routhiau, Valerie -- Cerf-Bensussan, Nadine -- Opolon, Paule -- Yessaad, Nadia -- Vivier, Eric -- Ryffel, Bernhard -- Elson, Charles O -- Dore, Joel -- Kroemer, Guido -- Lepage, Patricia -- Boneca, Ivo Gomperts -- Ghiringhelli, Francois -- Zitvogel, Laurence -- P01 DK071176/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01DK071176/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA086355/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI084880/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Nov 22;342(6161):971-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1240537.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale, U1015, Equipe labellisee Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer, Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif, France.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24264990" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
