ARTICLE ABSTRACT
Although natural killer (NK) cells are recognized as direct antitumor effectors, the ability of NK cells to control cancer-associated inflammation, which facilitates tumor progression, remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that NK cells control tumor-promoting inflammation through functional modification of neutrophils. NK cells control the tumor-promoting function of neutrophils through an IFNγ-dependent mechanism. Tumor progression in an NK cell–depleted host is diminished when the IL17A–neutrophil axis is absent. In NK cell–depleted mice, neutrophils acquire a tumor-promoting phenotype, characterized by upregulation of VEGF-A expression, which promotes tumor growth and angiogenesis. A VEGFR inhibitor which preferentially suppressed tumor growth in NK cell–depleted mice was dependent on neutrophils. Furthermore, the systemic neutropenia caused by an antimetabolite treatment showed an anticancer effect only in mice lacking NK cells. Thus, NK cells likely control the tumor-promoting and angiogenic function of neutrophils. Cancer Immunol Res; 6(3); 348–57. ©2018 AACR.Usage metrics
