`Cover image: Pictured is an aggregate of dolomite nanocrystals on the surface of a carboxylated
`polystyrene sphere. The mineral dolomite is abundant in the geologic record and an be synthesized
`in the laboratory at high temperatures, but the mechanism of its formation at low temperatures
`remains unclear. Jennifer A. Roberts et a]. demonstrate that mrboxy] groups on the surfaces of
`polystyrene spheres can catalyze dolomite precipitation at 30°C from solutions that simulate
`seawater. The findings suggest that natural surfaces that possess a high density of carboxyl groups,
`such as microbial biomass, may be key to the formation of dolomite in low temperature sedimentary
`systems. See the article by Roberts et al. on pages 14540-14545. Image courtesy of David S. Moore.

`
`CD73 inhibits antitumor immunity through the activation of aden-
`osine receptors expressed on multiple immune subsets. CD73 also
`enhances tumor metastasis, although the nature of the immune
`subsets and adenosine receptor subtypes involved in this process
`are larger unknown. In this study, we revealed that Aur‘Azg re-
`ceptor antagonists were effective in reducing the metastasis of
`tumors expressing CD73 endogenously (411.2 breast tumors) and
`when CD73 was ectopically expressed (B‘lGF1O melanoma). A35"
`mice were strongly protected against tumor metastasis. indicating
`that host Au receptors enhanced tumor metastasis. A2,. blockade
`enhanced natural killer (NK) cell maturation and cytotoxic function
`in vitro. reduced metastasis in a perform-dependent manner, and
`enhanced NK cell expression of granzyme B in vivo, strongly sug-
`gesting that the antimetastatic effect of A2,. blockade was due to
`enhanced NK cell function. Interestingly, A23 blockade had no
`effect on NK cell cytotoxicity. indicating that an NK cell-indepen-
`dent mechanism also contributed to the increased metastasis of
`CD73" tumors. Our results thus revealed that CD73 promotes tumor
`metastasis through multiple mechanisms, including suppression of
`NK cell function. Furthermore, our data strongly suggest that A” or
`A1,; antagonists may be useful for the treatment of metastatic dis-
`ease. Overall, our study has potential therapeutic implications
`given that ARIA“ receptor antagonist have already entered clin-
`ical trials in other therapeutic settings.

`
`is now well-established that tumors use numerous immuno-
`t
`suppressive mechanisms to facilitate tumor growth (1, 2). Land-
`mark studics by Sitkovsky and colleagues established that one such
`mechanism is the catabolism of extracellular AMP into immuno-
`
`suppressive adenosine {3, 4). Extracellular adenosine is generated
`from adenosine monophosphate (AMP) by the ecloenzyme CD73
`and binds to four known cell surface receptors (A1, Am, A23, and
`A3) that are expressed on multiple immune subsets including T
`cells, natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T cells, macrophages,
`dendritic cells, and mycloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCS) (5).
`The A2,, and A23 receptor subtypes are essentially responsible
`for the immunosuppressive effects of adenosine. They share
`a common signaling pathway, both resulting in the activation of
`adenylate cyclase and the accumulation of intracellular CAMP.
`Extracellular AMP can be generated from ATP, an immune-
`activating molecule, by the ectoenzyme CD39. Thus, CD73 and
`CD39 acting in concert can catabolize ATP into adenosine and
`therefore tip the balance from an immunostimulatory to an im-
`munosuppressive microenvironment.
`Physiologically, CD73 is expressed on endothelial cells, epi—
`thelial cells, and subsets of the immune system, including Tregs
`(5). CD73 has been found to be up-regulated in several types of
`cancer and recently it has been shown to be a negative prognostic
`marker in triple negative breast cancer (5, 6). Several preclinical
`studies indicate that targeting the CD73-adenosine pathway may
`
`be beneficial. Proof-of—concept studies demonstrated that target-
`ing CD73 with an anti-CD73—blocking mAb could significantly
`delay tumor growth (7). This was due to enhanced antitumor
`immune T-cell responses as a result of attenuated Aim-mediated
`immunosuppression. Subsequently, both host and tumor-expressed
`CD73 have been shown to be important in the suppression of
`antitumor T-cell responses. Indeed, CD73-deficient mice are re-
`sistant to several transplantable tumors and de novo carcinogen-
`esis (8—11). On the other hand, specific targeting of CD73 on
`tumor cells using shRNA also significantly reduced tumor growth
`and prolonged survival {7, 12).
`Furthermore,
`the knockdown of CD73 expression on tumor
`cells reduced their ability to metastasize (7). However, the mech-
`anism by which CD73 promotes tumor metastasis is unclear.
`Understanding the mechanism by which CD73 increases tumor
`metastasis is vital
`to developing new strategies that target
`metastasis because there are no anti-CD73 mAbs currently in
`clinical development. The clinical relevance of this pathway is
`underlined by the correlation between CD73 expression and
`an increased risk of metastasis in breast cancer {13, 14). Thus,
`the CD73 pathway has been proposed as a novel target for
`immunotherapy (15).
`In this current study, we found that CD73 promoted metas-
`tasis through the activation of both A”, and A23 receptors. A2,».
`blockade resulted in enhanced NK—oell activity in vitro and in
`vivo and reduced metastasis in a perform—dependent manner.
`Titus, Am or A2]; antagonists, which have already been used in
`clinical trials in other disease settings (16), are promising for the
`treatment of cancer metastasis for which there is a lack of ef-
`
`fective options available.
`Results
`
`Tumor-CD73 Expression Promotes in Vivo Metastasis. Previous inves-
`tigations in our laboratory suggested that the expression of CD73
`on tumor cells could positively regulate metastasis (7}. To in-
`vestigate whether CD73 expression was sufficient to increase the
`migratory properties of tumor cells, AT-3 breast adenocarcinoma
`and B16F10 melanoma cells (both CD73') were transduoed with
`retrovirus-encoding murine CD73 cDNA, CD73 expression on
`transduced AT—3 and BlfiFlO cells was at a level equivalent to
`4T1.2 breast carcinoma cells, a metastatic cell line expressing high
`levels of CD73 (Fig 51A) {7). Eclopically expressed CD73 was
