N2 - Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma is characterized by malignant T cells proliferating in a unique tumor microenvironment dominated by keratinocytes (KCs). Skin colonization and infection by Staphylococcus aureus are a common cause of morbidity and are suspected of fueling disease activity. In this study, we show that expression of HLA-DRs, high-affinity receptors for staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs), by KCs correlates with IFN-γ expression in the tumor microenvironment. Importantly, IFN-γ induces HLA-DR, SE binding, and SE presentation by KCs to malignant T cells from patients with Sézary syndrome and malignant and nonmalignant T-cell lines derived from patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides. Likewise, preincubation of KCs with supernatant from patient-derived SE-producing S aureus triggers proliferation in malignant T cells and cytokine release (including IL-2), when cultured with nonmalignant T cells. This is inhibited by pretreatment with engineered bacteriophage S aureus–specific endolysins. Furthermore, alteration in the HLA-DR–binding sites of SE type A and small interfering RNA–mediated knockdown of Jak3 and IL-2Rγ block induction of malignant T-cell proliferation. In conclusion, we show that upon exposure to patient-derived S aureus and SE, KCs stimulate IL-2Rγ/Jak3–dependent proliferation of malignant and nonmalignant T cells in an environment with nonmalignant T cells. These findings suggest that KCs in the tumor microenvironment play a key role in S aureus–mediated disease activity in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
