Glioblastoma is a common primary brain tumor, and immune checkpoint blockade strategies may offer a novel therapy for improving patient outcomes. ILT2 blockade has been found to promote an immune response against glioblastoma, and co-treatment with temozolomide enhances its efficacy.
Glioblastoma stands as the most frequent primary brain tumor. Despite the multimodal therapy for glioblastoma patients, the survival rate is very low, highlighting the need for novel therapies that improve patient outcomes. Immune checkpoint blockade strategies are achieving promising results in a myriad of tumors and several studies have reported its efficacy in glioblastoma at a preclinical level. ILT2 is a novel immune checkpoint that exerts an inhibitory effect via the interaction with classical and non-classical HLA class-I molecules. Herein, we report that ILT2 blockade promotes antitumor responses against glioblastoma. In silico and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that the expression of ILT2 and its ligands HLA-A, -B, -C, and -E are highly expressed in patients with glioblastoma. Disruption of ILT2 with blocking monoclonal antibodies increased natural killer cell-mediated IFN-gamma production and cytotoxicity against glioblastoma, partially reverting the immunosuppression linked to this malignancy. In addition, co-treatment with temozolomide strengthened the antitumor capacity of anti-ILT2-treated immune cells. Collectively, our results establish the basis for future studies regarding the clinical potential of ILT2 blockade alone or in combination regimens in glioblastoma.
