Abstract
ABSTRACTInterleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a central mediator of inflammation whose secretion typically requires proteolytic maturation by the inflammasome and formation of membrane pores by gasdermin D (GSDMD). Emerging evidence suggests an important role for IL-1β in promoting cancer progression in patients, but the underlying mechanisms are little understood. Here, we show a key role for IL-1β in driving tumor progression in two distinct mouse tumor models. Notably, inflammasome activation and GSDMD were dispensable for the production of intratumoral bioactive IL-1β, which promoted systemic mobilization and infiltration of neutrophils into tumors. Neutrophils recruited via IL-1β suppressed the acquisition of an effector T-cell phenotype and subsequent antitumor immune response. Moreover, IL-1β was essential for neutrophil accumulation upon antiangiogenic therapy, thereby contributing to therapy-induced immunosuppression. Antitumor immunity in the absence of IL-1β-dependent neutrophil recruitment relied on immunostimulatory macrophages which promoted the infiltration and activation of cytotoxic T-cells. Overall, these results support a tumor-promoting role for IL-1β through establishing an immunosuppressive microenvironment and show that inflammasome activation is not essential for its release in tumors.
