PurposeImmunosuppression is one of hallmark features in many cancers including glioma. Triptolide, a natural compound purified from the Chinese herb Tripterygium wilfordii, has been reported to inhibit PD-L1 otherwise known as the B7 homolog 1 (B7-H1) expression in breast cancer. The purpose of this paper is to test the effects of Triptolide on T cell inhibition in glioma cells.MethodsWe labeled T cells and cocultured with Interferon- (IFN-) and Triptolide treated glioma cells. The effect on inhibition of T cells as well as subtypes of T cells was measured by Flow Cytometry. We also tested the expression of PD-L1 in six glioma cell lines.ResultsWe found that Triptolide could reverse T cell inhibition especially CD4+ T cell and induced IFN- secretion. In addition, Triptolide could also induce interleukin-2 secretion and overcome interleukin-10 inhibition caused by glioma cells under IFN- treated condition. Triptolide could also down-regulate IFN- induced PD-L1 surface expression in glioma cells.ConclusionsThese results suggest that Triptolide may be used to reverse CD4+ T cell inhibition caused by glioma cells and is an alternative candidate for targeting PD-L1, one of the checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of glioma.
