PD-L1 Engagement on T cells Promotes Self-tolerance and Suppression of Neighboring Macrophages and Effector T cells in Cancer

ABSTRACT: PD-1 ligation delimits immunogenic responses in T cells. However, the consequences of PD-L1 ligation in T cells are uncertain. We found that T cell expression of PD-L1 in cancer was regulated by tumor-antigen, microbial signals, and sterile inflammatory cues. PD-L1+ T cells exerted tumor-promoting tolerance via three distinct mechanisms: (i) Binding of PD-L1 induced STAT3-dependent back-signaling in CD4+ T cells preventing activation, reducing Th1-polarization, and directing Th17-differentiation. PD-L1 signaling also induced an anergic Tbet-IFNg- phenotype in CD8+ T cells and was equally suppressive compared to PD-1 signaling. (ii) PD-L1+ T cells restrained effector T cells via the canonical PD-L1-PD-1 axis and were sufficient to accelerate tumorigenesis even in the absence of endogenous PD-L1. (iii) PD-L1+ T cells engaged PD-1+ macrophages inducing an alternative M2-like program, which had crippling effects on adaptive anti-tumor immunity. Collectively, we demonstrate that PD-L1+ T cells have diverse tolerogenic effects on tumor immunity.

Combined PD-L1/TGFb blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8 T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

The CD58:CD2 axis is co-regulated with PD-L1 via CMTM6 and shapes anti-tumor immunity

Project description:The cell-autonomous balance of immune-inhibitory and -stimulatory signals is a critical process in cancer immune evasion. Using patient-derived co-cultures, humanized mouse models, and single cell RNA-sequencing of patient melanomas biopsied before and on immune checkpoint blockade, we find that intact cancer-cell-intrinsic expression of CD58 and ligation to CD2 is required for anti-tumor immunity and is predictive of treatment response. Defects in this axis promote immune evasion through diminished T cell activation, impaired intratumoral T cell infiltration and proliferation, and concurrently increased PD-L1 protein stabilization. Through CRISPR-Cas9 and proteomics screens, we identify and validate CMTM6 as critical for CD58 maintenance and upregulation of PD-L1 upon CD58 loss. Competition by CD58 and PD-L1 for CMTM6 (via both extracellular loop domains) determines their rate of endosomal recycling over lysosomal degradation. Overall, we describe an underappreciated yet critical axis of cancer immunity and provide a molecular basis for how cancer cells balance immune inhibitory and stimulatory cues.

Epigenetic targeting of immunocheckpoint PD-L1 by BET bromodomain inhibition

Project description:Epigenetic regulators have emerged as exciting targets for cancer therapy. Additionally, restoration of antitumor immunity by blocking the PD-L1 signaling using antibodies has proven to be beneficial in cancer therapy. Here we show that BET bromodomain inhibition suppresses PD-L1 expression and restores antitumor immunity in ovarian cancer. CD274 (encoding PD-L1) is a direct target of BRD4-mediated gene transcription. In mouse models, treatment with the BET inhibitor JQ1 significantly reduced PD-L1 expression on tumor cells and tumor-associated dendritic cells and macrophages, which correlated with an increase in the activity of antitumor cytotoxic T cells. Together, these data demonstrate an epigenetic approach to block PD-L1 signaling to restore antitumor immunity. Given the fact that BET inhibitors have been proven safe with manageable reversible toxicity in clinical trials, our findings indicate that pharmacological BET inhibitors represent a novel treatment strategy for targeting PD-L1 expression.

PD-L1 ChIP-seq in MDA-MB-231 cells

Project description:Although membrane-anchored PD-L1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether PD-L1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. We found that a portion of PD-L1 could translocate to the nucleus and knockout of PD-L1 changed RNA profiles in MDA-MB-231 cells. To further explore potential role of PD-L1 in regulating gene expression in tumor cells, we performed ChIP-seq in HA tag-inserted (after the signal peptide) PD-L1 re-expressed MBA-MB-231cells (endogenous PD-L1 knockout background). Methods: HA-insert-PD-L1 was re-introduced into MDA-MB-231 PD-L1 knockout cells using lentivirus and then the infected cells were selected with puromycin to make stable subclones. ChIP experiments were performed using HA antibody (Abcam, ab9110). Conclusions: Our study indicates that nuclear PD-L1 has potential roles in regulating gene transcription. More efforts are needed to further dissect the exact working model.

RNA sequencing of mouse CT26 knockout Pd-l1 cells rescued with WT or K262Q Pd-l1

Project description:Although membrane-anchored Pd-l1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether Pd-l1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. In this experiment, to further dissect roles of the K262 residue acetylation for Pd-l1 nuclear function, we profiled RNA expression of WT or K262Q mutant mouse Pd-l1 re-expressed in CT26 KO Pd-l1 cells. Methods: Total RNA fromCT26/Vector, CT26/WT or CT26 Pd-l1 KO cells was purified using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Library preparation and sequenceing analysis were performed by BGI-Hong Kong Co. Ltd. Conclusions: Our study indicates that Pd-l1 acetylation modification may affect its function in nuclear.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.

Nuclear compartmentalization of PD-L1 suppresses tumorigenesis and overcomes immunocheckpoint therapy resistance via histone macroH2A1 phosphorylation

Project description:Canonically PD-L1 functions as the inhibitory immune checkpoint on cell surface. Recent studies observed PD-L1 expression in the nucleus of cancer cells. But the biological function of nuclear PD-L1 (nPD-L1) in tumor growth and antitumor immunity is unclear. Here we enforced nPD-L1 expression and established stable cells. nPD-L1 suppressed tumorigenesis and aggressiveness in vitro and in vivo. Compared with PD-L1 deletion, nPD-L1 expression repressed tumor growth and improved survival more significantly in immunocompetent mice. p-AMPKα facilitated nuclear PD-L1 compartmentalization and then cooperated with it to directly phosphorylate S146 of histone variant macroH2A1 (mH2A1) to epigenetically activate expression of genes of cellular senescence, JAK-STAT, and Hippo signaling pathways. Lipoic acid (LA) that induced nuclear PD-L1 translocation suppressed tumorigenesis and boosted antitumor immunity. Importantly, LA treatment synergized with PD-1 antibody and overcame immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance, which may result from nPD-L1-increased MHC-I expression and sensitivity of tumor cells to IFN-γ. These findings offer a conceptual advance for PD-L1 function and suggest LA as a promising therapeutic option for overcoming ICB resistance.

RNA sequencing of PD-L1 knock out human MDA-MB231 cells and mouse CT26 cells

Project description:Although membrane-anchored PD-L1 has been well-studied for its engagement with PD-1 on T cells to evade anti-tumor immunity, whether PD-L1 regulate oncogenic signaling pathways in tumor cells remains elusive. Methods: Total RNA from MDA-MB-231 wild type (WT) , MDA-MB-231 PD-L1 knock-out (KO), CT26 WT or CT26 Pd-l1 KO cells was purified using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Library preparation and sequenceing analysis were performed at the Molecular Genetics Core facility in Dana-Farber Cancer institute. RNA-seq data was aligned using STAR v2.5.4a. Conclusions: Our study indicates that PD-L1 may regulate genes that are involved in immune response regulating pathways.

RNA-Seq analysis to compare myeloid cells from PD-L1-LysMCre mice with littermate Wild-type controls

Project description:Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is predominantly expressed in the antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that are originated and abundant in bone marrow. The roles of PD-L1 in bone cell differentiation and cancer bone metastasis remain unclear. Here we show that PD-L1 antibody or PD-L1 conditional knockout in the hematopoietic or myeloid lineage suppresses osteoclast differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Bone metastases of breast cancer and melanoma are diminished by PD-L1 antibody or PD-L1 deletion in the myeloid lineage. Transcriptional profiling of bone marrow cells reveals that PD-L1 deletion in the myeloid cells up-regulates immune stimulatory genes, leading to increased macrophage M1 polarization, decreased M2 polarization, enhanced IFN? signaling, and elevated T cell recruitment and activation. All these alterations result in heightened anti-tumor immunity in the cancer microenvironment. Our findings support PD-L1 antibody as a potent therapy for bone metastasis of breast cancer and melanoma by simultaneously suppressing osteoclast and enhancing immunity.

Conditional knock-out of Transferrin receptor 1 in Alb-cre H11-myc mice

Project description:Disrupted iron metabolism is commonly observed in various types of cancer. However, the role of iron signaling in controlling the tumor microenvironment and its clinical relevance remain unclear. We found that intra-tumoral iron signals stabilized PD-L1 protein, dampening CD8+ T cell responses and promoting tumor evasion. Blocking iron uptake decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell infiltration, leading to attenuated tumor growth. Mechanistically, iron preserved PD-L1 protein integrity by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Iron-induced lipid peroxidation in tumors promoted the generation of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which subsequently adducted to the PD-L1 cytoplasmic domain for its carbonylation. 4-HNE-mediated carbonylation outcompeted PD-L1 ubiquitination, resulting in PD-L1 protein stabilization. Finally, we introduced a designed peptide in tumor cells to diminish PD-L1 carbonylation by competing for 4-HNE availability. This led to decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell immunity, hindering tumor growth. Importantly, such peptide therapy showed effective outcomes in anti-PD-L1 non-responding tumors. Thus, our findings reveal alternative strategies for overcoming PD-L1-mediated immune evasion in cancer.
