Profiling of the immune microenvironment in FL

ABSTRACT: Tumor cells orchestrate their microenvironment. Here, we provide biochemical, structural, functional and clinical evidence that Cathepsin S (CTSS) alterations induce a tumor-promoting immune microenvironment in follicular lymphoma (FL). We found CTSS mutations at Y132 in 6% of FL (19/305). Another 13% (37/286) had CTSS amplification, which was associated with higher CTSS expression. CTSS Y132 mutations lead to accelerated autocatalytic conversion from pro-CTSS to active CTSS and increase substrate cleavage, including CD74 which regulates MHC-II-restricted antigen presentation. Lymphoma cells with hyperactive CTSS more efficiently activated antigen-specific CD4+ T-cells in vitro. Tumors with hyperactive CTSS showed increased CD4+ T-cell infiltration and proinflammatory cytokine perturbation in a mouse model and in human FLs. In mice, this CTSS-induced immune microenvironment promoted tumor growth. Clinically, patients with CTSS-hyperactive FL had better treatment outcomes with standard immunochemotherapies, indicating that these immunosuppressive regimens target both the lymphoma cells and the tumor-promoting immune microenvironment. Digital multiplexed gene expression profiling of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens of the validation cohort was performed as previously described (Hellmuth et al., Blood 2018)

Abberant Cathepsin S Activity Modulates the Immune Microenvironment in Follicular Lymphoma

Project description:Tumor cells can induce their own advantageous microenvironment. Here, we describe aberrant cathepsin S (CTSS) activity to modulate T-cell activation in follicular lymphoma (FL). In donor-derived FLs following bone marrow transplantation, we identified independent acquisition of CTSS mutations at Y132 in the donor´s and recipient's tumors. In a larger cohort, 6% of FL (20/312) harbored CTSS mutations, mostly Y132D, another 14% had CTSS amplification (40/280). Y132D leads to accelerated conversion from pro-CTSS to active CTSS and increased substrate cleavage, including CD74, which regulates MHC-II restricted antigen-presentation. In co-culture experiments, CTSS mutant lymphoma cells induced increased antigen-specific CD4+ T-cell activation. Moreover, antigen-processing was the top upregulated pathway in CTSS mutant primary FL biopsies. Thus, aberrant CTSS activity is a promising target in lymphoma.

Follicular lymphoma microenvironment characteristics associated with tumor cell mutations and MHC class II expression

Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a B-cell lymphoma with a complex tumor microenvironment that is rich in non-malignant immune cells. We applied single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the immune microenvironment of FL. This provides a classification framework of the FL microenvironment, their association with FL genotypes and antigen presentation, and informs different potential immunotherapeutic strategies.

Patient-derived lymphoma spheroids integrating immune tumor microenvironment as preclinical follicular lymphoma models for personalized medicine

Project description:Background Follicular lymphoma (FL), the most common indolent non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, is a heterogeneous disease and a paradigm of the contribution of immune tumor microenvironment to disease onset, progression, and therapy resistance. Patient-derived models are scarce and fail to reproduce immune phenotypes and therapeutic responses. Methods To capture disease heterogeneity and microenvironment cues, we developed a patient-derived lymphoma spheroid (FL-PDLS) model culturing FL cells from lymph nodes (LN) with an optimized cytokine cocktail that mimics LN stimuli and maintains tumor cell viability. Results FL-PDLS, mainly composed of tumor B cells (60% on average) and autologous T cells (13% CD4 and 3% CD8 on average, respectively), rapidly organizes into patient-specific three-dimensional (3D) structures of three different morphotypes according to 3D imaging analysis. RNAseq analysis indicates that FL-PDLS reproduces FL hallmarks with the overexpression of cell cycle, BCR, or mTOR signaling related gene sets. FL-PDLS also recapitulates the exhausted immune phenotype typical of FL-LN, including expression of BTLA, TIGIT, PD-1, TIM-3, CD39 and CD73 on CD3+ T cells. These features render FL-PDLS an amenable system for immunotherapy testing. With this aim, we demonstrate that the combination of obinutuzumab (anti-CD20) and nivolumab (anti-PD1) reduces tumor load in a significant proportion of FL-PDLS. Interestingly, B cell depletion inversely correlates with the percentage of CD8+ cells positive for PD-1 and TIM-3. Conclusions In summary, FL-PDLS is a robust patient-derived 3D system that can be used as a tool to mimic FL pathology and to test novel immunotherapeutic approaches in a context of personalized medicine.

Single cell profiling of CD4+ T cells from follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B cell lymphoma and tonsilar samples

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells contribute to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. We applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) , TCR sequencing combined with cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes (CITE-seq) on CD4 T cells to decipher the heterogeneity of intratumoral Tregs in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), compared with non-malignant tonsillar tissue.

Integrative profiling of follicular lymphoma at diagnosis and relapse

Project description:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is incurable with conventional therapies and has a clinical course typified by multiple relapses after therapy. These tumors are genetically characterized by B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) translocation and mutation of genes involved in chromatin modification. By analyzing purified tumor cells, we identified additional novel recurrently mutated genes and confirmed mutations of one or more chromatin modifier genes within 96% of FL tumors and two or more in 76% of tumors. We defined the hierarchy of somatic mutations arising during tumor evolution by analyzing the phylogenetic relationship of somatic mutations across the coding genomes of 59 sequentially acquired biopsies from 22 patients. Among all somatically mutated genes, CREBBP mutations were most significantly enriched within the earliest inferable progenitor. These mutations were associated with a signature of decreased antigen presentation characterized by reduced transcript and protein abundance of MHC class II on tumor B cells, in line with the role of CREBBP in promoting class II transactivator (CIITA)-dependent transcriptional activation of these genes. CREBBP mutant B cells stimulated less proliferation of T cells in vitro compared with wild-type B cells from the same tumor. Transcriptional signatures of tumor-infiltrating T cells were indicative of reduced proliferation, and this corresponded to decreased frequencies of tumor-infiltrating CD4 helper T cells and CD8 memory cytotoxic T cells. These observations therefore implicate CREBBP mutation as an early event in FL evolution that contributes to immune evasion via decreased antigen presentation.

Gene expression profiling of tumor biopsies before and after pidilizumab therapy in patients with relapsed follicular lymphoma grade 1 or grade 2.

Project description:Endogenous or iatrogenic antitumor immune responses can improve the course of follicular lymphoma (FL), but may be diminished by immunoregulatory mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. These may include effects of programmed death (PD)-1, a coinhibitory receptor that impairs T-cell function and is highly expressed on intratumoral T cells. In a Phase II trial, we tested the efficacy of pidilizumab, a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, with rituximab in patients with rituximab-sensitive FL relapsed after 1-4 prior therapies. Pidilizumab was administered at 3 mg/kg every 4 weeks for 4 infusions, plus 8 optional infusions every 4 weeks for patients with stable disease or better. Starting 2 weeks after the first infusion of pidilizumab, rituximab was given at 375 mg/m2 weekly for 4 weeks. Peripheral blood and tumor biopsies were studied to assess immunological effects of pidilizumab. The combination was well-tolerated, with no grade 3/4 toxicities. Overall (66%) and complete (52%) response rates in 29 evaluable patients were high, with tumor regression in 86% of patients. Median progression-free survival was 18.8 months, and was not reached for the 19 responders. Peripheral blood immunophenotyping showed increased memory CD4+ T cells and activation of NK cells after pidilizumab therapy. Tumor response and progression-free survival were associated with T-cell activation gene signatures in tumor gene expression profiling data, both at baseline and in changes induced by pidilizumab. The efficacy of pidilizumab with rituximab compared favorably to historical retreatment with rituximab monotherapy in patients with relapsed FL. Pidilizumab may benefit patients with pre-existing endogenous antitumor immune responses. This set contains 26 samples in total. 8 pairs of pre- and post-treatment samples, and 10 additional pre-treatment samples.

Neoantigen specific CD4+ T cells in human melanoma have diverse differentiation states and correlate with CD8+ T cell, macrophage, and B cell function

Project description:Tumor antigen-specific CD4+ T cells are required for the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in murine models but their contributions in human cancer are less understood. We used targeted single cell RNA sequencing and matching of T cell receptor sequences to identify signatures and functional correlates of tumor antigen-specific CD4+ T cells infiltrating human melanoma tumors. CD4+ T cells that recognize tumor-specific neoantigens express CXCL13 and are subdivided into clusters expressing memory and T follicular helper markers, and those expressing cytolytic markers, exhaustion markers and IFN-. In a cohort of melanoma patients, the frequency of CXCL13+ CD4+ T cells in the tumor correlated with the transcriptional states of CD8+ T cells and macrophages, maturation of B cells, and patient survival. Similar correlations were observed in a breast cancer cohort. These results identify distinct phenotypes and functional correlates of tumor antigen-specific CD4+ T cells in melanoma and suggest the possibility of using such cells to modify the tumor microenvironment.
