PD-L1+ tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) cause systemic immunosuppression and possibly resistance to anti-PD-L1 antibody (αPD-L1) blockade. However, whether and how PD-L1+ TEVs mediate αPD-L1 therapy resistance is unknown. Here, we show that PD-L1+ TEVs substantially decoy αPD-L1 and that TEV-bound αPD-L1 is more rapidly cleared by macrophages, causing insufficient blockade of tumor PD-L1 and subsequent αPD-L1 therapy resistance. Inhibition of endogenous production of TEVs by Rab27a or Coro1a knockout reverses αPD-L1 therapy resistance. Either an increased αPD-L1 dose or macrophage depletion mediated by the clinical drug pexidartinib abolishes αPD-L1 therapy resistance. Moreover, in the treatment cycle with the same total treatment dose of αPD-L1, high-dose and low-frequency treatment had better antitumor effects than low-dose and high-frequency treatment, induced stronger antitumor immune memory, and eliminated αPD-L1 therapy resistance. Notably, in humanized immune system mice with human xenograft tumors, both increased αPD-L1 dose and high-dose and low-frequency treatment enhanced the antitumor effects of αPD-L1. Furthermore, increased doses of αPD-L1 and αPD-1 had comparable antitumor effects, but αPD-L1 amplified fewer PD-1+ Treg cells, which are responsible for tumor hyperprogression. Altogether, our results reveal a TEV-mediated mechanism of αPD-L1-specific therapy resistance, thus providing promising strategies to improve αPD-L1 efficacy.
