Study Title | Non-targeted metabolomics screen comparing metabolite profiles of serum from PDAC-bearing mice that received metronidazole using high-resolution, high-performance LC-MS/MS analysis. |
Study Summary | The composition of the gut microbiome controls innate and adaptive immunity and has emerged as a key regulator of tumor growth and the success of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tends to be refractory to therapy, including ICB. We found that the gut microbe-derived metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) enhances anti-tumor immunity to PDAC. Delivery of TMAO given intraperitoneally or via dietary choline supplement to PDAC-bearing mice reduces tumor growth and is associated with an immunostimulatory tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) phenotype and activated effector T cell response in the tumor microenvironment. Mechanistically, TMAO signals through potentiating type-I interferon (IFN) pathway and confers anti-tumor effects in a type-I IFN dependent manner. Notably, delivering TMAOprimed macrophages alone produced similar anti-tumor effects. Combining TMAO with ICB (anti-PD1 and/or anti-Tim3) significantly reduced tumor burden and improved survival beyond TMAO or ICB alone. Finally, the levels of trimethylamine (TMA)- producing bacteria and of CutC gene expression correlate with improved survivorship and response to anti-PD1 in cancer patients. Together, our study identifies the gut microbial metabolite TMAO as an important driver of anti-tumor immunity and lays the groundwork for new therapeutic strategies. |

Chromatography Summary: | Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was performed at 0.2 ml/min on a ZIC-pHILIC column (2.1 mm × 150 mm, EMD Millipore) at 45 °C. Solvent A was 20 mM ammonium carbonate, 0.1% ammonium hydroxide, pH 9.2, and solvent B was acetonitrile. The gradient was 85% B for 2 min, 85% B to 20% B over 15 min, 20% B to 85% B over 0.1 min, and 85% B for 8.9 min. The autosampler was held at 4 °C. For each analysis, 4 µl of sample was injected. |
