Extended Data Fig. 9

a) Quantification of MM cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, NK cells and Treg cells in syngeneic MM5080 (n = 3-7) and control C57BL/6 (n = 3-6) mice is shown. b) Syngeneic transplants showed higher number of immunosuppressive PD-1+ Treg cells with respect to control C57BL/6 mice. c) Characterization of CD4+ T lymphocytes in syngeneic transplants (n = 4) vs. control C57BL/6 (n = 4) mice. d) Characterization of CD8+ T lymphocytes in syngeneic transplants (n = 4) vs. control C57BL/6 (n = 4) mice. e) Syngeneic transplants from the MM5080 cell line were refractory to therapies with moAbs that inhibit PD-1, PD-L1 and TIGIT. Therapy responses were determined by comparing median overall (mOS) in Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The number of mice included on each cohort is indicated. f) Simultaneous inhibition of PD-L1 and TIGIT moderately increased survival in a fraction of treated mice. Therapy responses were estimated by Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The number of mice included on each cohort is indicated. g) Depletion of Treg cells with the anti-CD25 moAb combined with inhibition of PD-L1 efficacy decreased MM growth in the subcutaneous MM8273 syngeneic model. Boxes represent median, upper and lower quartiles and whiskers represent minimum to maximum range (a, b, c and d). P values obtained from two-tailed t tests (a, b, c and d), Mann-Whitney tests (a, b, c and d) and Kruskal-Wallis adjusted for multiple comparisons by Dunn’s test (g) are indicated. Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test was used in e and f. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; NS, not significant.
