Immune surveillance of brain metastatic cancer cells is mediated by IFITM1

ABSTRACT: Brain metastasis, most commonly originating from lung cancer, increases cancer morbidity and mortality. Although metastatic colonization is the rate-limiting and most complex step of the metastatic cascade, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, in vivo genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening revealed that loss of interferon-induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) promotes brain colonization of human lung cancer cells. Incipient brain metastatic cancer cells with high expression of IFITM1 secrete microglia-activating complement component 3 and enhance the cytolytic activity of CD8+ T cells by increasing the expression and membrane localization of major histocompatibility complex class I. After activation, microglia (of the innate immune system) and cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (of the adaptive immune system) were found to jointly eliminate cancer cells by releasing interferon gamma and inducing phagocytosis and T cell-mediated killing. In human cancer clinical trials, immune checkpoint blockade therapy response was significantly correlated with IFITM1 expression, and IFITM1 enhanced the brain metastasis suppression efficacy of PD-1 blockade in mice. Our results exemplify a novel mechanism through which metastatic cancer cells overcome the innate and adaptive immune responses to colonize the brain, and suggest that a combination therapy increasing IFITM1 expression in metastatic cells with PD-1 blockade may be a promising strategy to reduce metastasis.

A brain-enriched lncRNA shields cancer cells from immune-mediated killing for metastatic colonization in the brain.

Project description:Brain metastases, including prevalent breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM), represent an urgent unmet medical need in the care of cancer due to a lack of effective therapies. Immune evasion is essential for cancer cells to metastasize to the brain tissue for brain metastasis. However, the intrinsic genetic circuits that enable cancer cells to avoid immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment remain poorly understood. Here, we report that a brain-enriched long noncoding RNA (BMOR) expressed in B2BM cells is required for brain metastasis development and is both necessary and sufficient to drive cancer cells to colonize the brain tissue. Mechanistically, BMOR enables cancer cells to evade immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment for the development of brain metastasis by binding and inactivating IRF3. In preclinical brain metastasis murine models, locked nucleic acid-BMOR, a designed silencer targeting BMOR, is effective in suppressing the metastatic colonization of cancer cells in the brain for brain metastasis. Taken together, our study reveals a mechanism underlying B2BM immune evasion during cancer cell metastatic colonization of brain tissue for brain metastasis, where B2BM cells evade immune-mediated killing in the brain microenvironment by acquiring a brain-enriched long noncoding RNA genetic feature.

Pre-metastatic cancer exosomes induce immune surveillance by patrolling monocytes at the metastatic niche.

Project description:Metastatic cancers produce exosomes that condition pre-metastatic niches in remote microenvironments to favor metastasis. In contrast, here we show that exosomes from poorly metastatic melanoma cells can potently inhibit metastasis to the lung. These "non-metastatic" exosomes stimulate an innate immune response through the expansion of Ly6Clow patrolling monocytes (PMo) in the bone marrow, which then cause cancer cell clearance at the pre-metastatic niche, via the recruitment of NK cells and TRAIL-dependent killing of melanoma cells by macrophages. These events require the induction of the Nr4a1 transcription factor and are dependent on pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) on the outer surface of exosomes. Importantly, exosomes isolated from patients with non-metastatic primary melanomas have a similar ability to suppress lung metastasis. This study thus demonstrates that pre-metastatic tumors produce exosomes, which elicit a broad range of PMo-reliant innate immune responses via trigger(s) of immune surveillance, causing cancer cell clearance at the pre-metastatic niche.

Exosomes dependent immune surveillance at the metastatic niche requires BAG6

Project description:Mice were intravenously injected with extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from B16V wt (n=3) or BAG6KO (n=3) cells or with PBS (n=3) as a control for 4 weeks on a weekly basis. Since B-16V melanoma cells colonise the lung upon intravenous injection and referring to current literature, we hypothesise that melanoma EVs alter the (immune-) microenvironment of the lung to prepare a pre-metastatic niche. Based on current literature and own previous experiments identifying BAG6 as an immunoregulatory protein that is also involved in the biogenesis of EVs, we are particularly interested in differences between the immune signature upon wt EV treatment compared to BAG6KO EV treatment.

Exosome-dependent immune surveillance at the metastatic niche requires BAG6

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by tumor cells are able to establish a pre-metastatic niche in distant organs, or on the contrary, exert anti-tumor activity. The mechanisms directing distinct EV functions are unknown. Using the B-16V transplantation mouse melanoma model we demonstrate that EVs from B-16V cells mobilize Ly6Clow patrolling monocytes and inhibit lung metastasis. Mechanistically, the formation of anti-tumor-EVs was dependent on the chaperone BAG6 and the acetylation of p53 by the BAG6/CBP/p300-acetylase complex, followed by the recruitment of components of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) via a P(S/T)AP double motif of BAG6. By contrast, deficiency of BAG6 led to the release of a distinct vesicle subtype with pro-tumorigenic activity, which recruited neutrophils to the pre-metastatic niche. In humans, BAG6 expression decreases in late-stage melanoma patients, correlating with an increase of the mRNA for the metastasis driver alpha-catulin in EVs, as observed in BAG6-deficient mouse EVs. We conclude that the BAG6/CBP/p300-p53 axis is a key pathway directing EV-formation and function.

Tenascin-C Protects Cancer Stem-Like Cells from Immune Surveillance

Project description:Precociously disseminated cancer cells may seed quiescent sites of future metastasis if they can protect themselves from immune surveillance. However, there is little knowledge about how such sites might be achieved. Here we present evidence that prostate cancer stem-like cells (CSC) can be found in histopathologically negative prostate draining lymph nodes (PDLN) in mice harboring oncogene-driven prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (mPIN). PDLN-derived CSC were phenotypically and functionally identical to CSC obtained from mPIN lesions, but distinct from CSCs obtained from frank prostate tumors. CSC derived from either PDLN or mPIN used the extracellular matrix protein Tenascin-C (TNC) to inhibit T cell receptor-dependent T cell activation, proliferation and cytokine production. Mechanistically, TNC interacted with Î±5Î²1 integrin on the cell surface of T cells, inhibiting reorganization of the actin-based cytoskeleton therein required for proper T cell activation. CSC from both PDLN and mPIN lesions also expressed CXCR4 and migrated in response to its ligand CXCL12, which was overexpressed in PDLN upon mPIN development. CXCR4 was critical for the development of PDLN-derived CSC, as in vivo administration of CXCR4 inhibitors prevented establishment in PDLN of an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Taken together, our work establishes a pivotal role for TNC in tuning the local immune response to establish equilibrium between disseminated nodal CSC and the immune system. A total of six sample of TPIN (N = 3) and TNE (N = 3) cultured cells from TRAMP mouse model were analyzed

USP5 stabilizes YTHDF1 to control cancer immune surveillance through mTORC1-mediated phosphorylation

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding protein YTHDF1 emerges as a frequently upregulated oncogene across various cancer types. Its depletion significantly improves the efficacy of cancer immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing YTHDF1 protein stability is pivotal for enhancing clinical response rates and the effectiveness of ICB in cancer patients. Here, we report that USP5 interacts with YTHDF1, removing K11-linked polyubiquitination on multiple lysine residues to stabilize YTHDF1, thereby conferring its oncogenic properties. In response to insulin, mTORC1 phosphorylates USP5 at S149, promoting its dimerization. Dimerized USP5 then binds to YTHDF1, preventing its degradation. Conversely, the CUL7-FBXW8 E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes K11-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of YTHDF1. USP5 and FBXW8 thus regulate YTHDF1 ubiquitylation at defined residues through mutually exclusive interactions and opposing activities. Furthermore, deficiency in YTHDF1 or USP5 enhances PD-L1 expression and compromises the expression of multiple immune response-related genes, fostering cancer immune evasion. Remarkably, combining USP5 inhibitor treatment with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy reprograms the antitumor T-cell immunity environment, leading to enhanced tumor regression and markedly improved overall survival rates in mouse tumor models. Therefore, in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer patients, USP5 may serve as a promising biomarker for stratifying individuals for anti-PD-1 therapy. Our findings reveal a ubiquitination-dependent regulation of YTHDF1 protein stability influencing immune response gene expression, suggesting USP5 inhibition combined with PD-(L)1 blockade as a novel and promising strategy for cancer treatment.

USP5 stabilizes YTHDF1 to control cancer immune surveillance through mTORC1-mediated phosphorylation

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) binding protein YTHDF1 is frequently upregulated in various cancers and its depletion enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. This study reveals that USP5 interacts with YTHDF1, preventing its K11-linked polyubiquitination, thereby stabilizing YTHDF1 and promoting its oncogenic properties. In response to insulin, mTORC1 phosphorylates USP5, facilitating its dimerization and subsequent binding to YTHDF1, while the CUL7-FBXW8 complex promotes its degradation. Notably, YTHDF1 or USP5 deficiency increases PD-L1 expression and impairs immune response gene expression, contributing to immune evasion. Combining USP5 inhibitors with anti-PD-1 therapy enhances antitumor T-cell immunity and improves tumor regression in mouse models. Thus, USP5 may serve as a biomarker for stratifying patients for anti-PD-1 therapy, suggesting a novel strategy of combining USP5 inhibition with PD-(L)1 blockade to enhance cancer treatment efficacy.
