Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Molecular Subtypes Predict Differential Response to Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-GuÃƒÂ©rin

ABSTRACT: The recommended treatment for patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) is tumor resection followed by adjuvant Bacillus Calmette-GuÃƒÂ©rin (BCG) bladder instillations. However, only 50% of patients benefit from this therapy. In case of progression to advanced disease, patients must undergo a radical cystectomy with significant morbidity and have a poor clinical outcome. Identifying tumors least likely to respond to BCG can translate into alternative treatments, such as early radical cystectomy or novel targeted or immunotherapies. Here we present molecular profiling of 132 BCG-naive, HR-NMIBC patients, and 44 post-BCG recurrences (34 matched), which uncovered three distinct BCG Response Subtypes (BRS1-3). Patients with BRS3 tumors have reduced recurrence and progression-free survival compared to BRS1-2. BRS3 tumors expressed high EMT-basal markers and had an immunosuppresive profile, which was confirmed with spatial proteomics. Tumors which recurred post-BCG were enriched for BRS3. BRS stratification was validated in a second cohort of 151 BCG-naive HR-NMIBC patients and the molecular subtypes outperformed guideline recommended risk stratification based on clinicopathological variables. For clinical application, we validated that a commercially approved assay was able to accurately predict BRS3 tumors (AUROC 0.86). Our findings provide a potential clinical tool for improved identification of HR-NMIBC patients at the highest risk of progression, which can be used to select patients for early radical cystectomy or novel subtype-directed therapies.

TRained Immunity induced by Bcg in UroThElial carcinoma (Tribute) associated epigenetic remodeling

Project description:Trained immunity is the phenomenon whereby innate immune cells such as monocytes or macrophages undergo functional reprogramming after exposure to certain microbial components, altering their responses to future exposures. Intravesical instillation with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most effective adjuvant therapy in patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC). HR-NMIBC is associated with a high risk of tumor recurrence and progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The precise immunological mechanisms through which BCG mediates anti-tumor immunity are still unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate the (long-term) induction of trained immunity by repeated BCG instillations in NMIBC patients and elucidate the immunological and epigenetic mechanisms that are involved. Another aim was to assess the relationship between trained immunity response and clinical response of NMIBC patients, in terms of recurrence free survival and progression free survival. To determine whether BCG instillations induce trained immunity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) we performed a prospective cohort study (‘Tribute’) and isolated PBMCs collected before BCG therapy and at 8 time points during BCG therapy. A total of 17 BCG-naïve HR-NMIBC patients were included. After isolation of PBMCs, monocytes were further purified using an isolation procotol with a percoll gradient. RNA was isolated from these purified monocytes were and used as input for RNA-seq analysis.

Development of a prognostic index for predicting disease progression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Project description:Although recent advances in high-throughput technology and data-driven approach have provided many insights into non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), previous studies are still limited in their ability to predict the clinical behavior of NMIBC including response to intravesical therapy. We aim to develop a prognostic index (PI) consisting of a small gene group that predicts the NMIBC progression and response to intravesical bacillus calmette-guérin (BCG) therapy. We analyzed progression-associated genes using Cox regression analysis and validated their predictive values using a fully connected neural network (FNN) algorithm. By applying a pathway enrichment analysis to these genes, a PI system consisting of small core genes for NMIBC progression was developed. Gene expression profiling in NMIBC patients identified a prognostic gene set for predicting NMIBC progression in multiple patient cohorts. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed a 23-gene signature. We incorporated these genes into the PI system, which was a significant prognostic indicator of NMIBC progression. The PI system was shown to be an independent risk factor by a multivariate analysis and subset stratification according to stage and grade. The subset analysis also revealed that the PI system could identify patients who would benefit from BCG immunotherapy. The 23-gene-based PI represents a promising diagnostic tool for identifying high-risk NMIBC patients who would display different clinical behaviors and response to BCG immunotherapy.

Discovery and validation of a novel expression signature for recurrence in high-risk bladder cancer post-cystectomy

Project description:Purpose: Selecting muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients for adjuvant therapy is currently based on clinical variables with limited power. We hypothesized that genomic-based signatures can outperform clinical models to identify patients at higher risk. Method:Transcriptome-wide expression profiles were generated using 1.4 million feature-arrays on archival tumors from 225 patients who underwent radical cystectomy and had muscle-invasive and/or node-positive bladder cancer. A 15-feature GC was developed on the discovery set with area under curve (AUC) of 0.77 in the validation set. A cohort comprised of 225 patients with organ-confined, muscle-invasive (pT2N0M0),extravesical (pT3-4aN0M0), and node-positive (pTanyN1-3M0) UCB who underwent radicalcystectomy at the University of Southern California between 1998 and 2004 was used. Each patient had aminimum two-year follow-up post-cystectomy unless they recurred prior to that date. Patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and those with clinical evidence of lymphadenopathy or distant metastasis at diagnosis were excluded.

BCG therapy downregulates HLA-I on malignant cells to subvert antitumor immune responses in bladder cancer [RNA-seq]

Project description:Patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC) frequently relapse after standard BCG immunotherapy and have a dismal outcome after progression to muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC). Although BCG induces potent inflammatory responses upon intravesical instillations, the mechanisms of tumor resistance to such immunotherapy remain elusive. We performed a longitudinal immune profiling of a cohort of MIBC pre- and post BCG therapy with gene and protein expression analysis to establish correlations with 5 year clinical follow up. Here, we demonstrate two distinct patterns of BCG-induced immunosubversion, which include acquired immune resistance and tumor-cell intrinsic resistance. Firstly, intracellular BCG infection of a subset of urothelial carcinoma cells downregulated HLA-I expression and induced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics. BCG treated tumors exhibiting such HLA class I loss displayed an immune desert tumor microenvironment dominated by myeloid immunosuppressive cells. Such patients presented with early cancer relapses and a bad outcome. Conversely, BCG-treated tumors which did not lose HLA class I antigens at relapse displayed an immune escape mechanism dominated by a Th1 pattern with high expression of inhibitory checkpoints and exhaustion markers. Such patients had a favorable outcome upon second surgery. We surmise that HLA class I expression does not result from immunoediting but rather from an EMT process associated to myeloid immunosuppression that predicts dismal prognosis.

Loss of NUMB drives aggressive bladder cancer via a RHOA/ROCK/YAP signaling axis.

Project description:We have discovered a previously uncharacterized tumor suppressor function of Numb in the homeostasis of the normal bladder mucosa. Targeted ablation of Numb in the basal layer of the urothelium drives spontaneous bladder tumorigenesis, driving progression from preneoplastic to preinvasive and overtly invasive tumors, and accelerates tumorigenesis in the presence of oncogenic insults. Using 3D-Matrigel organoid cultures to recapitulate bladder tumorigenesis in vitro, we found that Numb deficiency enhances the proliferative and invasive potential of both mouse and human bladder cancer cells. Integrative transcriptomic and functional analyses revealed that downregulation of the canonical Hippo pathway, resulting in enhanced YAP transcriptional activity, underlies the biological aggressiveness of Numb-deficient bladder cancer. These molecular events are dependent on the activation of RhoA/ROCK signaling subsequent to Numb loss. Thus, a dysfunctional Numb–RhoA/ROCK–Hippo/YAP regulatory network is at play in aggressive Numb-deficient bladder cancers, opening avenues for the development of targeted therapies. Furthermore, retrospective cohort studies revealed that a Numb-deficient status correlates with worse overall survival in post-cystectomy muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and increased risk of progression to MIBC in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. The Numb-deficient status was associated with a 27-gene prognostic signature that has the potential to identify high-risk NMIBC patients who are eligible for targeted RhoA/ROCK/YAP therapies.

Identification of a Novel Inflamed Tumor Microenvironment Signature as a Predictive Biomarker of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Immunotherapy in Non–Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Project description:Improved risk stratification and predictive biomarkers of treatment response are needed for non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Here we assessed the clinical utility of targeted RNA and DNA molecular profiling in NMIBC. We performed RNA-based profiling by NanoString nCounter on non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) clinical specimens and found that a novel expression signature of an inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME), but not molecular subtyping, was associated with improved recurrence-free survival after bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy. We further demonstrated that immune checkpoint gene expression was not associated with higher recurrence rates after BCG.

BCG therapy downregulates HLA-I on malignant cells to subvert antitumor immune responses in bladder cancer [NanoString IO360]

Project description:Patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) frequently relapse after standard intravesical BCG therapy and may have a dismal outcome. Resistance mechanisms to such immunotherapy remain misunderstood. Here, using cancer cell lines, freshly resected human bladder tumors and cohorts of bladder cancer patients pre- and post-BCG therapy, we demonstrate two distinct patterns of immune subversion upon BCG relapse. In the first pattern, intracellular BCG infection of cancer cells induced a post-transcriptional downregulation of HLA-I membrane expression via an inhibition of the autophagy flux. Patients with HLA-I deficient cancer cells post-BCG therapy displayed a myeloid immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) characteristics and dismal outcomes. Conversely, patients with HLA-I proficient cancer cells post-BCG therapy presented with CD8+ T cell tumor infiltrates, upregulation of inflammatory cytokines and inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules. Those patients had a very favorable outcome. We surmise that HLA-I expression in bladder cancers at relapse post-BCG does not result from immunoediting but rather from an immune subversion process directly induced by BCG on cancer cells, which predicts dismal prognosis. Cancer cells HLA-I scoring by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining can be easily implemented by pathologists in routine practice to stratify future urothelial cancer patient treatment strategies.
