Tumor-Independent Host Secretomes Induced By Angiogenesis and Immune-Checkpoint Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: The levels of various circulating blood proteins can change in response to cancer therapy. Monitoring therapy-induced secretomes (TIS) may have use as biomarkers for establishing optimal biological effect (such as dosing) or identifying sources of toxicity and drug resistance. Although TIS can derive from tumor cells directly, nontumor "host" treatment responses can also impact systemic secretory programs. For targeted inhibitors of the tumor microenvironment, including antiangiogenic and immune-checkpoint therapies, host TIS could explain unexpected collateral "side effects" of treatment. Here, we describe a comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of host TIS in tissues and plasma from cancer-free mice treated with antibody and receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKI) of the VEGF, cMet/ALK, and PD-1 pathways. We found that all cancer therapies elicit TIS independent of tumor growth, with systemic secretory gene change intensity higher in RTKIs compared with antibodies. Our results show that host TIS signatures differ between drug target, drug class, and dose. Notably, protein and gene host TIS signatures were not always predictive for each other, suggesting limitations to transcriptomic-only approaches to clinical biomarker development for circulating proteins. Together, these are the first studies to assess and compare "off-target" host secretory effects of VEGF and PD-1 pathway inhibition that occur independent of tumor stage or tumor response to therapy. Testing treatment impact on normal tissues to establish host-mediated TIS signatures (or "therasomes") may be important for identifying disease agnostic biomarkers to predict benefits (or limitations) of drug combinatory approaches.

Project description:Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment landscape for patients with many advanced malignancies, only 15-60% of patients respond, leaving a broad swath of patients who do not derive benefit. Identifying biomarkers to optimally identify patients who will benefit from ICIs is a major research focus for the oncology community. Thus far, predictive biomarker research has focused on tumor signatures such as microsatellite instability, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor mutational burden; clinical biomarkers have been far less studied. One potential clinical biomarker for ICI response in patients is immune-related adverse event (IRAE) onset.IRAEs are thought to represent bystander effects from activated T-cells and it is plausible that patients responding to ICIs would have greater likelihood of autoimmune toxicities (e.g. due to a more competent/treatment-responsive immune system, or cross-reactivity between tumor and host tissue). Earlier studies in melanoma patients however, suggested no association between IRAE onset and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody efficacy. In contrast, a growing body of literature suggests IRAE onset is predictive of anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and anti-PD-L1 antibody response across a variety of solid tumors. Most of these studies report that patients who experienced IRAEs demonstrate marked improvements in progression-free survival, overall survival and overall response rate compared to those lacking toxicity.Key questions regarding the association between IRAE onset and ICI efficacy remain. The most pertinent of these involve whether the association is only relevant for patients treated with anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 antibodies and whether IRAE site, severity, timing of onset and management influence ICI efficacy. Herein, we discuss the seminal studies which have begun to address these questions and have shaped the narrative about the predictive value of IRAE onset for patients on ICIs, in this review.
