Arsenic trioxide elicits prophylactic and therapeutic immune responses against solid tumors by inducing necroptosis and ferroptosis

Boosting tumor immunosurveillance with vaccines has been proven to be a feasible and cost-effective strategy to fight cancer.Although major breakthroughs have been achieved in preventative tumor vaccines targeting oncogenic viruses,limited advances have been made in curative vaccines for virus-irrelevant malignancies.Accumulating evidence suggests that preconditioning tumor cells with certain cytotoxic drugs can generate whole-cell tumor vaccines with strong prophylactic activities.However,the immunogenicity of these vaccines is not sufficient to restrain the outgrowth of existing tumors.In this study,we identified arsenic trioxide(ATO)as a wide-spectrum cytotoxic and highly immunogenic drug through multiparameter screening.ATO preconditioning could generate whole-cell tumor vaccines with potent antineoplastic effects in both prophylactic and therapeutic settings.The tumor-preventive or tumor-suppressive benefits of these vaccines relied on CD8+ T cells and type I and II interferon signaling and could be linked to the release of immunostimulatory danger molecules.Unexpectedly,following ATO-induced oxidative stress,multiple cell death pathways were activated,including autophagy,apoptosis,necroptosis,and ferroptosis.CRISPR‒Cas9-mediated knockout of cell death executors revealed that the absence of Rip3,Mlkl,or Acsl4 largely abolished the efficacy of ATO-based prophylactic and therapeutic cancer vaccines.This therapeutic failure could be rescued by coadministration of danger molecule analogs.In addition,PD-1 blockade synergistically improved the therapeutic efficacy of ATO-based cancer vaccines by augmenting local IFN-γ production.
