Multimodal Genomic Features Predict Outcome of Immune Checkpoint Blockade in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Despite progress in immunotherapy, identifying patients that respond has remained a challenge. Through analysis of whole-exome and targeted sequence data from 5,449 tumors, we found a significant correlation between tumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor purity, suggesting that low tumor purity tumors are likely to have inaccurate TMB estimates. We developed a new method to estimate a corrected TMB (cTMB) that was adjusted for tumor purity and more accurately predicted outcome to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). To identify improved predictive markers together with cTMB, we performed whole-exome sequencing for 104 lung tumors treated with ICB. Through comprehensive analyses of sequence and structural alterations, we discovered a significant enrichment in activating mutations in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) genes in non-responding tumors in three immunotherapy-treated cohorts. An integrated multivariable model incorporating cTMB, RTK mutations, smoking-related mutational signature, and HLA status provided an improved predictor of response to immunotherapy that was independently validated.

Immunologic and clinical activity to ICB combinations in DAPPER Leiomyosarcoma cohort

Project description:Non-inflamed (cold) tumors such as leiomyosarcoma (LMS) do not benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) monotherapy. Combining ICB with angiogenesis-, or poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors may increase tumor immunogenicity by altering the immune cell composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The DAPPER phase II study evaluated the safety, immunologic, and clinical activity of ICB-based combinations in pre-treated LMS patients.

STING signalling compensates for low tumour mutation burden to drive anti-tumour immunity

Project description:While mutation-derived neoantigens are well recognized in generating anti-tumor T cell responses, increasing evidences highlight the complex association between tumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). We examined this relationship across nine major cancer types to identify non-TMB determinants of immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. TMB overall correlated poorly with both TILs and exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex) as an indicator of tumor-specific T cells. Computational clustering analysis performed on 4,510 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a group of tumors with abundant Tex but low TMB. In those tumors, we observed significantly higher expression of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling. Dendritic cells, particularly those of BATF3+ lineage, were also found to be essential for accumulation of Tex within tumors. Mechanistically, loss of genomic and cellular integrity, marked by decreased DNA damage repair, defective replication stress response, and increased apoptosis were shown to drive STING activation. These results highlight that TMB alone does not fully predict tumor immune profiles, with STING signaling compensating for low TMB in non-hypermutated tumors to enhance anti-tumor immunity. We further validated these findings using clinical samples via NanoString technology and single cell RNA-seq. Translating these results, STING agonists may benefit patients with non-hypermutated tumors. STING activation may serve as an additional biomarker to predict response to immune checkpoint blockades alongside TMB. Our research also unraveled the interplay between genomic instability and STING activation, informing potential combined chemotherapy targeting the axis of genomic integrity and immunotherapy.

Late-stage tertiary lymphoid structures in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are associated with improved response in solid tumors treated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), but understanding of their clinical significance and the circumstances of their resolution remains incomplete. Here, we found that in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy, high intratumoral TLS density at the time of surgery is associated with pathologic response and improved relapse free survival. In areas of tumor regression, we further identified a non-canonical involuted morphology of TLS marked by dispersion of the B cell follicle, persistence of a T cell zone enriched for T cell-mature dendritic cell interactions, and increased expression of T cell memory markers. Collectively, these data suggest that TLS may serve be both a prognostic and predictive marker of response to immunotherapy in HCC and suggest a functional role for late-stage TLS T cell memory formation after elimination of viable tumor.

HRS mediates tumor immune evasion by regulating proteostasis-associated interferon pathway activation

Project description:By sorting receptor tyrosine kinases into endolysosomes, the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRTs) are thought to attenuate oncogenic signaling in tumor cells. Paradoxically, ESCRT members are upregulated in tumors. Here, we show that disruption of hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate (HRS), a pivotal ESCRT component, inhibited tumor growth by promoting CD8+ T cell infiltration in melanoma and colon cancer mouse models. HRS ablation led to misfolded protein accumulation and triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, resulting in the activation of the type I interferon pathway in an inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α)/X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1)-dependent manner. HRS was upregulated in tumor cells with high tumor mutational burden (TMB). HRS expression associates with the response to PD-L1/PD-1 blockade therapy in melanoma patients with high TMB tumors. HRS ablation sensitized anti-PD-1 treatment in mouse melanoma models. Our study shows a mechanism by which tumor cells with high TMB evade immune surveillance and suggests HRS as a promising target to improve immunotherapy.

Metronomic Radiotherapy Reverses Tumor Immune Desertification and Resistance to Immunotherapy

Project description:The development of approaches for inflaming cold tumors is critical for increasing response to immunotherapy (IMT) reliant upon the re-invigoration of T cells for tumor control. Here we report, in a pre-clinical advanced ID8 ovarian cancer model, that metronomic low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT; 1 Gy) promotes T-cell infiltration and enables responsiveness to treatment including low-dose cyclophosphamide (CP), and combinatorial IMT comprising immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4, and anti-CD40 agonist antibody, for significant tumor control and survival. Responses to this radio-combinatorial immunotherapy (RACIM) relied upon re-programming of both innate and adaptive immunity. We further identified RACIM-induced intratumoral dendritic cell states with co-stimulatory capacity and expressing the stress ligand RAE1, as well as of polyfunctional NKG2D+TCF1-PD1+CD4+T cells. We further report major tumor regressions in a subset of advanced cancer patients for which cold tumors were treated with LDRT, CP, aspirin, and ICB (NCT03728179). Unbiased analyses of biopsies revealed T-cell infiltration, up-regulation of type I IFN, and Th1 signatures as well as down-regulation of M2 macrophage and epithelial to mesenchymal transition gene-signatures, and a more oligoclonal TCR repertoire after RACIM, in responding patients.

Inhibiting tumor cell-intrinsic UBA6 by inosine augments tumor immunogenicity

Project description:Metabolic alteration influences cancer immunity. However, the role and mechanism of metabolic adaption on immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) responses remains ill-defined. Here, metabolomic profiling in mouse tumor models and cancer patients treated with ICB was performed. We found that metabolite inosine was associated with ICB sensitivity in mice and humans, and overcame ICB resistance in several mouse tumor models. Notably, inosine sensitized tumor cells to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity by amplifying tumor-intrinsic immunogenicity. Chemical proteomics further identified that inosine directly bound and inhibited ubiquitin-activating enzyme UBA6. Tumor intrinsic UBA6 loss augmented tumor immunogenicity and substituted the synergistic effect of inosine in combination with ICB. Clinically, tumor UBA6 expression negatively correlated with ICB response in cancer patients. Thus, we reveal an unappreciated function of inosine on tumor-intrinsic immunogenicity and UBA6 as a candidate target for immunotherapy.

Autophagy Promotes Growth of High Tumor Mutational Burden Tumors by Inhibiting a T Cell Immune Response [RNA-seq]

Project description:Autophagy degrades and recycles intracellular components to sustain metabolism and survival during starvation. Tumor cells upregulate and require autophagy to support their metabolism and enhance their proliferation and malignancy, and host autophagy also promotes tumor growth by providing essential tumor nutrients such as arginine in the circulation or alanine in the local tumor microenvironment. In addition to its metabolic role, autophagy regulates immune cell homeostasis and function, and suppresses inflammation, which may also play a role in cancer. Although host autophagy does not promote a T cell anti-tumor immune response in tumors with low tumor mutational burden (TMB), whether this was the case in tumors with high TMB was not known. Here we show that in contrast to low TMB tumors, host-specific deletion of the essential autophagy gene Atg7 induces a pro-inflammatory cytokine response and limits the growth of high TMB tumors, which is rescued by T-cell depletion. Expression of immune-related genes is increased in tumors from Atg7Δ/Δ hosts in a T-cell dependent manner. Tumors from Atg7Δ/Δ hosts also have decreased T regulatory cells (Tregs), and depletion of Tregs phenocopies the reduced tumor growth observed in Atg7Δ/Δ hosts. Moreover, loss of Stimulator of interferon genes (Sting) or IFNg restores growth of high TMB tumors on Atg7Δ/Δ hosts. Finally, similar to whole-body loss of autophagy, specific loss of autophagy in the liver is sufficient to limit tumor growth. Thus, autophagy, especially in the liver, promotes tumor immune tolerance by limiting STING, T cells, and IFNg, which enables tumor growth. We have designated this: Hepatic Autophagy Immune Tolerance (HAIT). Autophagy thereby promotes tumor growth through both metabolic and immune mechanisms depending on mutational load, and autophagy inhibition is an effective means to promote an anti-tumor T-cell response in high TMB tumors.
