Gajewski1,2† T cell infiltration of solid tumors is associated with favorable patient outcomes, yet the mechanisms underlying variable immune responses between individuals are not well understood. One possible modulator could be the intestinal microbiota. We compared melanoma growth in mice harboring distinct commensal microbiota and observed differences in spontaneous antitumor immunity, which were eliminated upon cohousing or after fecal transfer. Sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA identified Bifidobacterium as associated with the antitumor effects. Oral administration of Bifidobacterium alone improved tumor control to the same degree as programmed cell death protein 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)–specific antibody therapy (checkpoint blockade), and combination treatment nearly abolished tumor outgrowth. Augmented dendritic cell function leading to enhanced CD8+ T cell priming and accumulation in the tumor microenvironment mediated the effect. Our data suggest that manipulating the microbiota may modulate cancer immunotherapy. H arnessing the host immune system constitutes a promising cancer therapeutic because of its potential to specifically target tumor cells although limiting harm to normal tissue. Enthusiasm has been fueled by recent clinical success, particularly with antibodies that block immune inhibitory pathways, specifically CTLA-4 and the axis between programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand 1 (PD-L1) (1, 2). Clinical responses to these immunotherapies are more frequent in patients who show evidence of an endogenous T cell response ongoing in the tumor microenvironment before therapy (3–6). However, the mechanisms that govern the presence or absence of this phenotype are not well understood. Theoretical sources of interpatient heterogeneity include host germline genetic differences, variability in patterns of somatic alterations in tumor cells, and environmental differences. The gut microbiota plays an important role in shaping systemic immune responses (7–9). In the cancer context, a role for intestinal microbiota in mediatingimmune activationin response to chemotherapeutic agents has been demonstrated (10,11). However, it is not known whether commensal microbiota influence spontaneous immune responses against tumors and thereby affect the therapeutic activity of immunotherapeutic interventions, such as anti–PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). To address this question, we compared subcutaneous B16.SIYmelanoma growthin genetically similar C57BL/6 mice derived from two different mouse facilities, Jackson Laboratory (JAX) and Taconic Farms (TAC), which have been shown to differ in their commensal microbes (12). We found that JAX and TAC mice exhibited significant differences in B16.SIY melanoma growth rate, with tumors growing more aggressively in TAC mice (Fig. 1A). This difference was immunemediated: Tumor-specific T cell responses (Fig. 1, B and C) and intratumoral CD8+ T cell accumulation (Fig. 1D) were significantly higher in JAX than in TAC mice. To begin to address whether this difference could be mediated by commensal microbiota, we cohoused JAX and TAC mice before tumor implantation. We found that cohousing ablated the differences in tumor growth (Fig. 1E) and immune responses (Fig. 1, F to H) between the two mouse populations, which suggested an environmental influence. Cohoused TAC and JAX mice appeared to acquire the JAX phenotype, which suggested that JAX mice may be colonized by commensal microbes that dominantly facilitate antitumor immunity. To directly test the role of commensal bacteria in regulating antitumor immunity, we transferred JAX or TAC fecal suspensions into TAC and JAX recipients by oral gavage before tumor implantation (fig. S1A). We found that prophylactic transfer of JAX fecal material, but not saline or TAC fecal material, into TAC recipients was sufficient to delay tumor growth (Fig. 2A) and to enhance induction and infiltration of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells (Fig. 2, B and C, and fig. S1B), which supported a microbe-derived effect. Reciprocal transfer of TAC fecal material into JAX recipients had a minimal effect on tumor growth rate and antitumor T cell responses (Fig. 2, A to C, and fig. S1B), consistent with the JAX-dominant effects observed upon cohousing. To test whether manipulation of the microbial community could be effective as a therapy, we administered JAX fecal material alone or in combination with antibodies targeting PD-L1 (aPD-L1) to TAC mice bearing established tumors. Transfer of JAX fecal material alone resulted in significantly slower tumor growth (Fig. 2D), accompanied by increased tumor-specific T cell responses (Fig. 2E) and infiltration of antigen-specific T cells into the tumor (Fig. 2F), to the same degree as treatment with systemic aPD-L1 mAb. Combination treatment with both JAX fecal transfer and aPD-L1 mAb improved tumor control (Fig. 2D) and circulating tumor antigen–specific T cell responses (Fig. 2E), although there was little additive effect on accumulation of activated T cells within the tumor microenvironment (Fig. 2F). Consistent with these results, aPD-L1 therapy alone was significantly more efficacious in JAX mice compared with TACmice (Fig. 2G), which paralleled improved antitumor T cell responses (fig. S1C). These data indicate that the commensal microbial composition can influence spontaneous antitumor immunity, as well as a response to immunotherapy with aPD-L1 mAb. To identify specific bacteria associated with improved antitumor immune responses, we monitored the fecal bacterial content over time of mice that were subjected to administration of fecal permutations, using the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) miSeq Illumina platform. Principal coordinate analysis revealed that fecal samples analyzed from TAC mice that received JAX fecal material gradually separated from samples obtained from shamand TAC feces–inoculated TAC mice over time (P = 0.001 and P = 0.003, respectively, ANOSIM multivariate data analysis) and became similar 1084 27 NOVEMBER 2015 • VOL 350 ISSUE 6264 sciencemag.org SCIENCE 1 Department of Pathology, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 2 Department of Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. 3 Section of Genetic Medicine, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, USA. *These authors contributed equally to this work. †Corresponding author.

MPR and SB executed and analyzed results of QPCR from FMT experiments represented in Fig. 4D-E and Supplemental Fig. 20 BC. BR generated Supplemental Table 3 and 4 of patient characteristics. DR, MC, MB and IGB provided il-10, nod2, il-10/nod2, tlr2 deficient mice as well as germ-free mice and bacterial species of interest (Bf, Bt, E. coli, E. faecalis L. plantarum for IGB and Bc for DR). PLW and EC characterized cultivable bacteria and performed mass spectrometry on bacterial species or isolates. JN purified PS and bacterial capsule materials. LZ, MV and JMP wrote the manuscript. CR, NC, CM and FC provided melanoma patients feces for FMT. GK and AE edited and critically reviewed the manuscript. LZ conceived the project and the experimental settings.
