In vivo epigenetic CRISPR screen identifies Asf1a as an immunotherapeutic target in Kras-mutant lung adenocarcinoma


ABSTRACT: Despite substantial progress in lung cancer immunotherapy, the overall response rate in KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients remains low. Combining standard immunotherapy with adjuvant approaches that enhance adaptive immune responses—such as epigenetic modulation of anti-tumor immunity—is therefore an attractive strategy. To identify epigenetic regulators of tumor immunity, we constructed an epigenetic-focused sgRNA library, and performed an in vivo CRISPR screen in KrasG12D/P53-/- (KP) lung ADC model. Our data showed that loss of the histone chaperone Asf1a in tumor cells sensitizes tumors to anti-PD-1 treatment. Mechanistic studies revealed that tumor cell intrinsic Asf1a deficiency induced immunogenic macrophage differentiation in the tumor microenvironment by upregulating GM-CSF expression and potentiated T cell activation in combination with anti-PD-1. Our results provide a rationale for a novel combination therapy consisting of Asf1a inhibition and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.
