GOLM1 exacerbates CD8+ T cell suppression in hepatocellular carcinoma by promoting exosomal PD-L1 transport into tumor-associated macrophages

ABSTRACT: The immunosuppressive microenvironment plays an important role in tumor progression and immunotherapy responses. Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) is correlated to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and metastasis. However, little is known about the role of GOLM1 in regulating the immunosuppressive environment and its impact on immunotherapeutic efficacy in HCC. In this study, GOLM1 was positively correlated with infiltrating tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) expressed high levels of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and CD8+ T cell suppression in HCC tissues. Both gain- and loss-of-function studies determined a close correlation between GOLM1 and immunosuppression. In the mechanism, GOLM1 promoted COP9 signalosome 5-mediated PD-L1 deubiquitination in HCC cells and increased the transport of PD-L1 into exosomes via suppression of Rab27b expression. Furthermore, co-culture with exosomes derived from HCC cells upregulated the expression of PD-L1 on macrophages. Zoledronic acid in combination with anti-PD-L1 therapy reduced PD-L1+ TAMs infiltration and alleviated CD8+ T cell suppression, resulting in tumor growth inhibition in the mouse HCC model. Together, our study unveils a mechanism by which GOLM1 induces CD8+ T cells suppression through promoting PD-L1 stabilization and transporting PD-L1 into TAMs with exosome dependent. Targeting PD-L1+ TAM could be a novel strategy to enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 therapy in HCC.

PD-L1+CD8+ T cells enrichment in lung cancer exerted regulatory function and tumor-promoting tolerance.

Project description:Immunotherapy targeting checkpoint blockade to rescue T cells from exhaustion has become an essential therapeutic strategy in treating cancers. Till now, little is known about the PD-L1 graphic pattern and characteristics in CD8+ T cells. We combined cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) approaches to analyze CD8+ T cells from primary lung cancers and discovered that PD-L1+CD8+ T cells were enriched in tumor lesions, spatially localized with PD-1+CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, PD-L1+CD8+ T cells exerted regulatory functions that inhibited CD8+ T cells proliferation and cytotoxic abilities through the PD-L1/PD-1 axis. Moreover, tumor-derived IL-27 promotes PD-L1+CD8+ T cells development through STAT1/STAT3 signaling. Single-cell RNA sequencing data analysis further clarified PD-L1+CD8+ T cells elevated in the components related to downregulation of adaptive immune response. Collectively, our data demonstrated that PD-L1+CD8+ T cells enriched in lung cancer engaged in tolerogenic effects and may become a therapeutic target in lung cancer.

PD-1+CD8+ T Cells Proximal to PD-L1+CD68+ Macrophages Are Associated with Poor Prognosis in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Patients.

Project description:Immune complexity status in the TME has been linked to clinical outcomes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. TME assessments with current cell marker and cell density-based analyses do not identify the original phenotypes of single cells with multilineage selectivity, the functional status of the cells, or cellular spatial information in the tissues. Here, we describe a method that circumvents these problems. The combined strategy of multiplexed IHC with computational image cytometry and multiparameter cytometric quantification allows us to assess multiple lineage-selective and functional phenotypic biomarkers in the TME. Our study revealed that the percentage of CD8+ T lymphoid cells expressing the T cell exhaustion marker PD-1 and the high expression of the checkpoint PD-L1 in CD68+ cells are associated with a poor prognosis. The prognostic value of this combined approach is more significant than that of lymphoid and myeloid cell density analyses. In addition, a spatial analysis revealed a correlation between the abundance of PD-L1+CD68+ tumor-associated macrophages and PD-1+CD8+T cell infiltration, indicating pro-tumor immunity associated with a poor prognosis. These data highlight the implications of practical monitoring for understanding the complexity of immune cells in situ. Digital imaging and multiparameter cytometric processing of cell phenotypes in the TME and tissue architecture can reveal biomarkers and assessment parameters for patient stratification.

Suppression of Exosomal PD-L1 Induces Systemic Anti-tumor Immunity and Memory.

Project description:PD-L1 on the surface of tumor cells binds its receptor PD-1 on effector T cells, thereby suppressing their activity. Antibody blockade of PD-L1 can activate an anti-tumor immune response leading to durable remissions in a subset of cancer patients. Here, we describe an alternative mechanism of PD-L1 activity involving its secretion in tumor-derived exosomes. Removal of exosomal PD-L1 inhibits tumor growth, even in models resistant to anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Exosomal PD-L1 from the tumor suppresses T cell activation in the draining lymph node. Systemically introduced exosomal PD-L1 rescues growth of tumors unable to secrete their own. Exposure to exosomal PD-L1-deficient tumor cells suppresses growth of wild-type tumor cells injected at a distant site, simultaneously or months later. Anti-PD-L1 antibodies work additively, not redundantly, with exosomal PD-L1 blockade to suppress tumor growth. Together, these findings show that exosomal PD-L1 represents an unexplored therapeutic target, which could overcome resistance to current antibody approaches.

Hedgehog-induced PD-L1 on tumor-associated macrophages is critical for suppression of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell function.

Project description:The programmed death-1 (PD-1) and the PD ligand 1 (PD-L1) interaction represents a key immune checkpoint within the tumor microenvironment (TME), and PD-1 blockade has led to exciting therapeutic advances in clinical oncology. Although IFN-γ-dependent PD-L1 induction on tumor cells was initially thought to mediate the suppression on effector cells, recent studies have shown that PD-L1 is also expressed at high level on tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in certain types of tumors. However, the precise role of PD-L1 expression on TAMs in suppressing antitumor immunity within the TME remains to be defined. Using a myeloid-specific Pdl1-knockout mouse model, here we showed definitive evidence that PD-L1 expression on TAMs is critical for suppression of intratumor CD8+ T cell function. We further demonstrated that tumor-derived Sonic hedgehog (Shh) drives PD-L1 expression in TAMs to suppress tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell function, leading to tumor progression. Mechanistically, Shh-dependent upregulation of PD-L1 in TAMs is mediated by signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, a cascade that has not been previously reported to our knowledge. Last, single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of human hepatocellular carcinoma revealed that PD-L1 is mainly expressed on M2 TAMs, supporting the clinical relevance of our findings. Collectively, our data revealed an essential role for Shh-dependent PD-L1 upregulation in TAMs in suppressing antitumor immunity within the TME, which could lead to the development of new immunotherapeutic strategies for treating cancer.

Lymphatic PD-L1 Expression Restricts Tumor-Specific CD8+ T-cell Responses.

Project description:Lymph node (LN)-resident lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) mediate peripheral tolerance by self-antigen presentation on MHC-I and constitutive expression of T-cell inhibitory molecules, including PD-L1 (CD274). Tumor-associated LECs also upregulate PD-L1, but the specific role of lymphatic PD-L1 in tumor immunity is not well understood. In this study, we generated a mouse model lacking lymphatic PD-L1 expression and challenged these mice with two orthotopic tumor models, B16F10 melanoma and MC38 colorectal carcinoma. Lymphatic PD-L1 deficiency resulted in consistent expansion of tumor-specific CD8+ T cells in tumor-draining LNs in both tumor models, reduced primary tumor growth in the MC38 model, and increased efficacy of adoptive T-cell therapy in the B16F10 model. Strikingly, lymphatic PD-L1 acted primarily by inducing apoptosis in tumor-specific CD8+ central memory T cells. Overall, these findings demonstrate that LECs restrain tumor-specific immunity via PD-L1, which may explain why some patients with cancer without PD-L1 expression in the tumor microenvironment still respond to PD-L1/PD-1-targeted immunotherapy. SIGNIFICANCE: A new lymphatic-specific PD-L1 knockout mouse model reveals that lymphatic endothelial PD-L1 expression reduces tumor immunity, inducing apoptosis in tumor-specific CD8+ central memory cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes.

Histological spatial analysis on the induction of PD-L1+ macrophages by CD8+ T cells at the marginal microenvironment of triple-negative breast cancer.

Project description:BackgroundProgrammed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays important roles in the evasion of antitumor immunity. Because we observed the localization of PD-L1-positive (PD-L1+) cells in the marginal region of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) specimens, we hypothesized that the marginal microenvironment of TNBC would involve the induction of PD-L1+ cells.MethodsOne hundred and one TNBC surgical specimens were examined. We performed immunohistochemical (IHC) studies of PD-L1, CD68, CD8, and pan-cytokeratin in these specimens. We analyzed the localization of IHC-positive cells and the distance between these cells by histological spatial analysis.ResultsIn 30.7% of TNBC specimens, PD-L1+ cells were located in the marginal region. Approximately three PD-L1+ cells accumulated around a single TNBC cell. Most PD-L1+ cells were located within 50 μm of TNBC cells. PD-L1+ cells were indicated to interact with TNBC cells in the marginal region. PD-L1+CD68+ cells were located in the marginal region, while CD68+ macrophages (MΦs) were observed either in the marginal region or the core region. PD-L1 expression in MΦs was induced in the marginal region. The colocalization of CD8+ T cells in the marginal region indicates that PD-L1 expression in MΦs would be induced by interaction with CD8+ T cells. Because CD8+ T cells are positive for CCL2, CCL2 may induce PD-L1 expression in MΦs.ConclusionAt the marginal microenvironment of TNBC, PD-L1 expression would be induced in MΦs by interaction with CD8+ T cells through CCL2. The interaction between PD-L1+ MΦs and TNBC cells would facilitate the growth of TNBC under antitumor immunity. These interactions would be potential targets for restoring antitumor immunity and suppressing TNBC progression.

PD-L1+ tumor-associated macrophages and PD-1+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes predict survival in primary testicular lymphoma.

Project description:Primary testicular lymphoma is a rare and aggressive lymphoid malignancy, most often representing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma histologically. Tumor-associated macrophages and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes have been associated with survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, but their prognostic impact in primary testicular lymphoma is unknown. Here, we aimed to identify macrophages, their immunophenotypes and association with lymphocytes, and translate the findings into survival of patients with primary testicular lymphoma. We collected clinical data and tumor tissue from 74 primary testicular lymphoma patients, and used multiplex immunohistochemistry and digital image analysis to examine macrophage markers (CD68, CD163, and c-Maf), T-cell markers (CD3, CD4, and CD8), B-cell marker (CD20), and three checkpoint molecules (PD-L1, PD-L2, and PD-1). We demonstrate that a large proportion of macrophages (median 41%, range 0.08-99%) and lymphoma cells (median 34%, range 0.1-100%) express PD-L1. The quantity of PD-L1+ CD68+ macrophages correlates positively with the amount of PD-1+ lymphocytes, and a high proportion of either PD-L1+ CD68+ macrophages or PD-1+ CD4+ and PD-1+ CD8+ T cells translates into favorable survival. In contrast, the number of PD-L1+lymphoma cells or PD-L1- macrophages do not associate with outcome. In multivariate analyses with IPI, PD-L1+ CD68+ macrophage and PD-1+ lymphocyte contents remain as independent prognostic factors for survival. In conclusion, high PD-L1+ CD68+ macrophage and PD-1+ lymphocyte contents predict favorable survival in patients with primary testicular lymphoma. The findings implicate that the tumor microenvironment and PD-1 - PD-L1 pathway have a significant role in regulating treatment outcome. They also bring new insights to the targeted thera py of primary testicular lymphoma.

Nasopharyngeal cancer cell-derived exosomal PD-L1 inhibits CD8+ T-cell activity and promotes immune escape.

Project description:Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immune surface protein that binds to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and allows tumors to evade T-cell immunity. This study aims to define the role of PD-L1 shuttled by tumor cell-derived exosomes in the immune escape of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). PD-L1 expression was determined in the exosomes isolated from the plasma of NPC patients or from NPC cells. It was found that PD-L1 was highly expressed in the exosomes from the plasma of NPC patients and also in the exosomes from NPC cells. PD-L1/PD-1 binding was identified in the presence or absence of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) or anti-PD-L1 antibody. PD-L1 expression was elevated following IFN-γ treatment. Binding of PD-L1 to PD-1 was augmented by IFN-γ and blocked by anti-PD-L1 antibody. Following this, CD8+ T cells were sorted out from peripheral blood samples to assess the binding between exosomal PD-L1 and PD-1 on the CD8+ T-cell surface, and to measure the percentage of Ki-67-positive T cells. The results indicated that exosomal PD-L1 bound to the PD-1 on CD8+ T-cell surface, leading to a reduced percentage of Ki-67-positive CD8+ T cells and downregulated production of cytokines. In vivo data confirmed that exosomal PD-L1 promoted NPC tumor growth in mice by suppressing CD8+ T-cell activity. In conclusion, NPC cell-derived exosomes deliver PD-L1 to bind to PD-1 on the CD8+ T-cell surface, through which cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell function was attenuated and the immune escape was thus promoted in NPC.

GOLM1 upregulates expression of PD-L1 through EGFR/STAT3 pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:GOLM1, a type II transmembrane protein, is associated with tumor progression, metastasis and immunosuppression. However, the relationship between GOLM1 and the immunosuppressive molecule PD-L1 in HCC remains largely unclear. Here, we revealed that GOLM1 acts as a novel positive regulator of PD-L1, whose abnormal expression plays a crucial role in cancer immune evasion and progression. We found that GOLM1 is overexpressed and positively correlated with PD-L1 expression in HCC. Mechanistically, we found that GOLM1 promotes the phosphorylation of STAT3 by enhancing the level of EGFR, which in turn upregulates the transcriptional expression of PD-L1. Taken together, we demonstrated that GOLM1 acts as a positive regulator of PD-L1 expression via the EGFR/STAT3 signaling pathway in human HCC cells. This study provides a new insight into the regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 expression in HCC, which may provide a novel therapeutic target for HCC immunotherapy.
