Characterization of tumor mutational burden in LKB1 mutant lung tumors

ABSTRACT: Inactivating mutations in LKB1/STK11 are present in ~20% of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) and portend poor response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in patients and genetically engineered mouse model (GEMMs). Here, we sought to uncover the basis for immunotherapy resistance of these tumors and to define strategies that overcome this barrier. Whereas high tumor mutational burden (TMB) often correlates with response to anti-PD1 treatment, we found that LKB1-deficient NSCLCs from non-smokers and GEMMs exhibited striking elevations in nonsynonymous mutations compared to LKB1 wildtype tumors. Correspondingly, LKB1 mutant NSCLC cell lines showed defects in both replication dependent and independent double-strand DNA break (DSB) repair, which were reversed upon LKB1 re-expression.

AXL targeting restores PD-1 blockade sensitivity of STK11/LKB1 mutant NSCLC through expansion of TCF1+ CD8 T cells

Project description:Mutations in STK11/LKB1 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with poor patient responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and introduction of a Stk11/Lkb1 (L) mutation into murine lung adenocarcinomas driven by mutant Kras and Trp53 loss (KP) resulted in an ICB refractory syngeneic KPL tumor. Mechanistically this occurred because KPL mutant NSCLCs lacked TCF1-expressing CD8 T cells, a phenotype recapitulated in human STK11/LKB1 mutant NSCLCs. Systemic inhibition of Axl results in increased type I interferon secretion from dendritic cells that expanded tumor-associated TCF1+ PD-1+ CD8 T cells, restoring therapeutic response to PD-1 ICB for KPL tumors. This was observed in syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models and in humanized mice bearing STK11/LKB1 mutant NSCLC human tumor xenografts. NSCLC patients with identified STK11/LKB1 mutations receiving bemcentinib and pembrolizumab demonstrated objective clinical response to combination therapy. We conclude that AXL is a critical targetable driver of immune suppression in STK11/LKB1 mutant NSCLC.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of non-malignant cells in KRAS syngeneic mouse tumor models

Project description:STK11/LKB1 mutation is a primary driver for immunotherapy resistance. We employed KRAS/LKB1 syngeneic mouse models by injecting tumor cells with Kras mutation, Kras/Stk11 mutation and MCT4 knockout. We used single-cell RNA-seq to analyze the impact of LKB1 deficiency on the immune microenvironment.

Gene expression profile at single cell level of non-malignant cells in KRAS syngeniec mouse tumor models harboring STK11 and/or KEAP1 co-muation

Project description:STK11/LKB1 and KEAP1 mutations are associated with immunotherapy resistance. We employed KRAS syngeneic mouse cells (K) and generated KEAP1 loss (KK) or STK11/KEAP1 loss (KLK) by CRISPR/KO. Then we injected these tumor cells and collected the tumor for single-cell RNA-seq. Our aim is to analyze the impact of STK11 and/or KEAP1 deficiency on the immune microenvironment.

Genome-wide analysis of Schwann cell gene expression in LKB1-SCKO mutant mice prior to occurrence of axon degeneration

Project description:Analysis of gene expression in LKB1(Stk11)-depleted sciatic nerves (LKB1-SCKO) vs control nerves from age-matched mice. Gene expression profiles are predominantly derived from Schwann cell glia and provide important information about the response of peripheral nerve Schwann cells to inactivation of the metabolic regulator protein LKB1(aka Stk11). Total RNA obtained from sciatic nerve segments from 6 LKB1-SCKO mutant mice compared to RNA from nerve segments from 6 control mice (floxed LKB1 mutant mice that do not express Cre recombinase).

EMSY inhibits homologous recombination repair and the interferon response promoting lung cancer immune evasion

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring KEAP1 mutations are characterized by worse overall outcomes and resistance to immunotherapy. Here, we identified a molecular mechanism by which KEAP1 targets EMSY for ubiquitin-mediated degradation to regulate homologous recombination repair (HRR) and anti-tumor immunity. Loss of KEAP1 in NSCLC induces stabilization of EMSY producing a BRCAness phenotype characterized by HRR defects and sensitivity to PARP inhibitors (PARPis). Defective HRR increases genomic instability leading to high tumor mutational burden (TMB), which prompts an innate immune response. Notably, EMSY accumulation also suppresses the type I interferon response and impairs innate immune signaling, fostering cancer immune evasion. Activation of the type I interferon response in the tumor microenvironment using a STING agonist results in the engagement of innate and adaptive immune signaling, impairing the growth of KEAP1-mutant tumors. Our results suggest that targeting the PARP and STING pathways, individually or in combination, represent a novel therapeutic strategy in NSCLC patients harboring alterations in KEAP1.

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.

KrasG12D/+ co-mutation alters the transcriptional landscape of lung adenocarcinoma

Project description:The tumor microenvironment (TME) contains a rich source of nutrients that sustain cell growth and ultimately facilitate tumor progression. The availability of glucose and glutamine in the TME are essential for the development and activation of effector T cells that exert anti-tumor function. Recently, inhibition of glutaminase, the enzyme that hydrolyzes glutamine to glutamate, has garnered interest as an approach to both decrease tumor metabolism and growth, while increasing available glutamine in the TME for effector T cells. Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy unleashes anti-tumor effector capabilities of T cells, and although there are good responses in many solid tumors, a significant proportion of patients respond poorly. In lung adenocarcinoma, response to immunotherapy is reported to be impaired in KRAS-mutant patients harboring concurrent KEAP1 and STK11/Lkb1 mutations. To investigate the metabolism and immune microenvironment of KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, we generated a series of murine models that reflect the KEAP1 and STK11/Lkb1 mutational landscape seen in patients. Here we show increased glutamate abundance in the Lkb1-deficient TME associated with CD8 T cell activation in response to anti-PD1 checkpoint immunotherapy. Combination treatment with the glutaminase inhibitor CB-839 inhibited clonal expansion and cytotoxic activation of tumor-infiltrating CD8 T cells. Thus, CD8 T cells exposed to checkpoint immunotherapy have a dependence on glutamine and reliance on glutaminase activity and are negatively impacted by the glutaminase inhibitor in this highly activated state. Therefore, we discern that the combination of immunotherapy and glutaminase inhibition is not efficacious for CD8 T cell activation in the tumor microenvironment.
