The study found that cisplatin (CDDP) increased the expression of CD47 in lung cancer cells, while blocking CD47 enhanced the phagocytic activity of macrophages on CDDP-treated tumor cells. The combination treatment of CDDP and aCD47 exhibited anti-tumor effects and modulated immune cell populations and cytokine levels in the tumor-bearing model.
Cisplatin (CDDP) is the first generation of platinum-based drug and is widely used to treat many cancers due to its potency. The present study aims to explore the effects of CDDP on lung carcinoma and its relationship with macrophage phagocytosis. In in vitro study, murine and human lung cancer cell lines were applied and treated with CDDP, CD47 antibody (aCD47), or CDDP plus aCD47. In in vivo study, a tumor xenograft animal model was treated with CDDP, aCD47, or CDDP plus aCD47. Real-time PCR was applied to determine the mRNA expressions. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting, and Immunofluorescent staining were applied to determine the protein expressions. Flow cytometry was applied to analyze cell apoptosis, phagocytosis, and specific cell populations. CDDP enhanced the expressions of CD47 in lung cancer cells. Interestingly, the blockage of CD47 enhanced the macrophages' phagocytic activity on the CDDP-treated tumor cells. The treatment of CDDP and aCD47 exhibited anti-tumor effects and prolonged the LLC tumor-bearing mice survival time. Mechanistic studies revealed that the treatment of CDDP and aCD47 regulated the phagocytic activity of macrophage, percentage of CD8(+) T cells, and cytokines (tumor growth factor (TGF)-beta, interleukin (IL)12p70, and interferon (IFN)-gamma) in the tumor-bearing model. CD47 blockade enhanced therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin against lung carcinoma in vivo and in vitro.
