Ganoderic acid Me induces the apoptosis of competent T cells and increases the proportion of Treg cells through enhancing the expression and activation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in mouse lewis lung cancer cells.

    The indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-(IDO-) mediated microenvironment plays an important role in tumor immune escape. It is known that ganoderic acid Me can enhance IFN-γ expression and IDO is preferentially induced by IFN-γ. However, whether GA-Me can induce IDO expression has not been clarified yet. We established stable clones of IDO-overexpressing 2 LL cells (2LL-EGFP-IDO). After co-culturing with IDO expressing or control vector-transfected 2LL-EGFP cells, T cell apoptosis was determined and the proportion of the regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD8+ T cell subset was measured. The total cellular protein samples of 2 LL-EGFP-IDO cells were isolated for detecting JAK-STAT1 signalling pathway. Co-culture supernatants were used to detect amino acids and cytokines. IDO transfected 2 LL cells yielded high level of IDO enzymatic activity, resulting in complete depletion of tryptophan from the culture medium. We found that apoptosis occurred in T cells after cocultured with IDO+2LL cells and the proportion of CD4+CD25+ cells and FoxP3+ cells increased while CD8+ cells decreased. The specific inhibitor of IDO, 1-D-MT and GA-Me efficiently enhanced T cell apoptosis, increased Tregs, and reduced CD8+ T cells in vitro. Increased expression of IDO, p-JAK1 and p-STAT1 were confirmed by Western blot analysis. The levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, LDH and kynurenine in co-culture supernatant correspondingly increased, while tryptophan reduced. These results suggest that GA-Me contributing to IDO helps to create a tolerogenic milieu in lung tumors by directly inducing T cell apoptosis, restraining CD8+ T cell activation, and enhancing Treg-mediated immunosuppression.
