Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have rapidly altered the treatment landscape for multiple tumor types, providing unprecedented survival in some patients. Despite the characteristic durability of response to ICI, unfortunately many patients with initial response will later develop acquired resistance. The current understanding of mechanisms of acquired resistance to ICIs is remarkably limited, perhaps restraining effective development of next-generation immunotherapies. Here, we examine the barriers to progress and emerging clinical reports interrogating acquired resistance with the goal to facilitate efforts to overcome acquired resistance to ICIs in the future.

Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapies.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICBT) has revolutionized the treatment and management of numerous cancers, yet a substantial proportion of patients who initially respond to ICBT subsequently develop resistance. Comprehensive genomic analysis of samples from recent clinical trials and pre-clinical investigation in mouse models of cancer provide insight into how tumors evade ICBT after an initial response to treatment. Here, we summarize our current knowledge on the development of acquired ICBT resistance, by examining the mechanisms related to tumor-intrinsic properties, T-cell function, and tumor-immune cell interactions. We discuss current and future management of ICBT resistance, and consider crucial questions remaining in this field of acquired resistance to immune checkpoint blockade therapies.

Hypoxia is linked to acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in lung cancer

Project description:Despite the established use of immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a subset of patients benefit from treatment and approximately 50% of patients whose tumors respond eventually develop acquired resistance. To identify novel drivers of acquired resistance, we generated murine Msh2 knock-out (KO) lung tumors that initially responded but eventually developed acquired resistance to anti-PD-1, alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4. Resistant tumors harbored decreased infiltrating T cells and reduced cancer cell-intrinsic MHC-I and MHC-II levels, yet remained responsive to IFNɣ. Resistant tumors contained extensive regions of hypoxia, and a hypoxia signature derived from single-cell transcriptional profiling of resistant cancer cells was associated with decreased progression-free survival in a cohort of NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Targeting hypoxic tumor regions using a hypoxia activated pro-drug delayed acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in murine Msh2 KO tumors. Thus, this work provides rationale for targeting tumor metabolic features, such as hypoxia, in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition.

Mechanisms of Primary and Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer and a relevant global health problem. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent the most effective systemic treatment for HCC. However, due to primary resistance, approximately 40% of HCC patients do not achieve a disease control with ICIs. Moreover, a similar proportion will experience disease progression after an initial response caused by secondary resistance. This review describes the mechanisms of primary and secondary resistance and reports the ongoing therapeutic strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Lung Cancer

Project description:<p>Mechanisms of acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether alterations in genes encoding components of the HLA Class I antigen processing and presentation machinery or interferon signaling pathways play a role in acquired resistance to PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonistic antibodies. Whole exome sequencing was performed on tumor samples collected from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer at the time of resistance to PD-1 axis inhibitors and on available matched pre-treatment and normal samples. Patient-derived xenografts successfully established from the ICI-resistant samples were also exome sequenced. Additionally, RNA sequencing was performed on cases with sufficient tissue.</p>

Impaired HLA Class I Antigen Processing and Presentation as a Mechanism of Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Lung Cancer.

Project description:Mechanisms of acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are poorly understood. We leveraged a collection of 14 ICI-resistant lung cancer samples to investigate whether alterations in genes encoding HLA Class I antigen processing and presentation machinery (APM) components or interferon signaling play a role in acquired resistance to PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonistic antibodies. Recurrent mutations or copy-number changes were not detected in our cohort. In one case, we found acquired homozygous loss of B2M that caused lack of cell-surface HLA Class I expression in the tumor and a matched patient-derived xenograft (PDX). Downregulation of B2M was also found in two additional PDXs established from ICI-resistant tumors. CRISPR-mediated knockout of B2m in an immunocompetent lung cancer mouse model conferred resistance to PD-1 blockade in vivo, proving its role in resistance to ICIs. These results indicate that HLA Class I APM disruption can mediate escape from ICIs in lung cancer.Significance: As programmed death 1 axis inhibitors are becoming more established in standard treatment algorithms for diverse malignancies, acquired resistance to these therapies is increasingly being encountered. Here, we found that defective antigen processing and presentation can serve as a mechanism of such resistance in lung cancer.

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have demonstrated to be highly efficient in treating solid tumors; however, many patients have limited benefits in terms of response and survival. This rapidly led to the investigation of combination therapies to enhance response rates. Moreover, predictive biomarkers were assessed to better select patients. Although PD-L1 expression remains the only validated marker in clinics, molecular profiling has brought valuable information, showing that the tumor mutation load and microsatellite instability (MSI) status were associated to higher response rates in nearly all cancer types. Moreover, in lung cancer, EGFR and MET mutations, oncogene fusions or STK11 inactivating mutations were associated with low response rates. Cancer progression towards invasive phenotypes that impede immune surveillance relies on complex regulatory networks and cell interactions within the tumor microenvironment. Epigenetic modifications, such as the alteration of histone patterns, chromatin structure, DNA methylation status at specific promoters and changes in microRNA levels, may alter the cell phenotype and reshape the tumor microenvironment, allowing cells to grow and escape from immune surveillance. The objective of this review is to make an update on the identified epigenetic changes that target immune surveillance and, ultimately, ICI responses, such as histone marks, DNA methylation and miR signatures. Translational studies or clinical trials, when available, and potential epigenetic biomarkers will be discussed as perspectives in the context of combination treatment strategies to enhance ICI responses in patients with solid tumors.

Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Blockades: The Underlying Mechanisms and Potential Strategies.

Project description:The immune checkpoint blockade therapy has completely transformed cancer treatment modalities because of its unprecedented and durable clinical responses in various cancers. With the increasing use of immune checkpoint blockades in clinical practice, a large number of patients develop acquired resistance. However, the knowledge about acquired resistance to immune checkpoint blockades is limited and poorly summarized. In this review, we clarify the principal elements of acquired resistance to immune checkpoint blockades. The definition of acquired resistance is heterogeneous among groups or societies, but the expert consensus of The Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer can be referred. Oligo-progression is the main pattern of acquired resistance. Acquired resistance can be derived from the selection of resistant cancer cell clones that exist in the tumor mass before therapeutic intervention or gradual acquisition in the sensitive cancer cells. Specifically, tumor intrinsic mechanisms include neoantigen depletion, defects in antigen presentation machinery, aberrations of interferon signaling, tumor-induced exclusion/immunosuppression, and tumor cell plasticity. Tumor extrinsic mechanisms include upregulation of other immune checkpoints. Presently, a set of treatment modalities is applied to patients with similar clinical characteristics or resistance mechanisms for overcoming acquired resistance, and hence, further research is required.

Acquired Coagulopathy With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: An Underrecognized Association Between Inflammation and Coagulation.

Project description:IntroductionImmune-related adverse events affecting virtually every organ system have been described in individuals receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. The spectrum of hematologic adverse effects is diverse and includes autoimmune cytopenias, hemolysis, or inhibition of coagulation factors. The interplay of inflammation and the coagulation cascade is complex, and immune checkpoint inhibitors can induce coagulopathy by disrupting the intricate link between these pathways.MethodsWe report acquired coagulopathy in two patients treated with the programmed death-ligand 1 antibodies, atezolizumab and avelumab, respectively. Clinical findings and results of extensive laboratory workup are reported. We hypothesize that cytokine release is a potential pathologic mechanism responsible for acquired coagulopathy.ResultsSymptoms included fever, fatigue, and disorientation in one patient and fever, myalgias, and skin rash in the other. Laboratory features included an abnormal coagulation profile; low fibrinogen levels; and elevated D-dimer, ferritin, and triglycerides. Treatment consisted of intravenous glucocorticoids in both cases and the use of fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, and clotting factor support in one patient.ConclusionsRecognition of acquired coagulopathy as a complication of immunotherapy and its aggressive management are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.
