Project description:Despite the remarkable success of immunotherapy, only ~20-30% of cancer patients display an extended durable response. Pre-existing biomarkers for immunotherapy outcome are significantly limited in their predictive power. While mice are the most widely used and cost-effective model to study human disease, translating preclinical biomarkers into clinical practice faces significant obstacles – in part due to the lack of diverse or appropriate models. Here, to improve translatability and identify novel biomarkers, we showcase an approach encompassing several pre-clinical models - each capturing one possible mechanistic aspect of immunotherapy response, such as tumor- and host-dependency, in order to reflect the variability seen in human cancers. Using this approach, we identify interferon-stimulated, Ly6Ehi neutrophils as a pre-treatment, blood-borne biomarker for anti-PD1 response in mice. We subsequently validate this result in cohorts of immunotherapy-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma patients, where the abundance of Ly6Ehi neutrophils predicts anti-PD1 response and further validated these results using available datasets for other cancers. Moreover, we demonstrate that these cells sensitize otherwise resistant tumors to anti-PD1 therapy, in part by directly activating cytotoxic T cells and contributing to tumor cell killing, while operate upstream of T cells in the immunotherapy response. Collectively, our study identifies a new and functionally active biomarker to predict immunotherapy outcome with potential clinical relevance.

Project description:Serial blood draws from a single patient and serial tumor biopsies from the same patient with metastatic Merkel cell polyomavirus Merkel cell carcinoma, who was treated with cellular immunotherapy targeting MCPyV (autologous endogenous T cell therapy) followed by checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4). The patient had a 22 month clinical response followed by late/acquired resistance. We performed scRNAseq using the 10x genomics 3' Chromium expression assay to determine potential mechanisms contributing to immunotherapy response and late resistance

Project description:Syngeneic grafts of the D4M.3A.3 (parental) mouse melanoma cell line (derived from a Tyr::CreER;BrafCA;Ptenlox/lox mouse) in C56BL/6 mice model poorly immunogenic, low neoantigen human melanomas. The D3UV2 (UV2) cell line was derived by serial UVB irradiation and single cell cloning. The addition of UVB-induced putative neoantigens sensitizes UV2 syngeneic melanoma grafts to immune checkpoint inhibitors and triggers epitope skewing to tumor-lineage self-antigens, a phenomenon that can be successfully mimicked in parental melanomas through treatment combinations such as anti-PD-1 with ablative fractional photothermolysis and imiquimod. Our mouse models were used to characterize gene expression changes between neoantigen rich and neoantigen poor melanomas, and with immunotherapy.

Project description:The identification of novel therapeutic strategies to overcome the intrinsic or acquired resistance to trametinib in mutant KRAS lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a major challenge. This study analyzes the effects of trametinib in Id1, a key factor involved in the oncogenic KRAS pathway, and investigates the Id1 role in acquire resistance and synergy with immunotherapy in KRAS-driven LUAD. Restoring the antitumor immune response by blocking programmed-cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed-cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway represents a major breakthrough in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Nevertheless, a high proportion of LUAD patients with KRAS alterations remain refractory to this therapy. Material and Methods: To explore whether MEK1/2 inhibition reduces Id1 expression, in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted in KRAS-mutant NSCLC cells and murine models. RNAseq analysis was performed to elucidate the pathways involved in Id1 inhibition. Apoptosis and PD-L1 expression was measured by flow cytometry. Synergy of trametinib combined with anti-PD1 was investigated in KRAS-mutant LUAD mouse models. Results: Using preclinical syngeneic KRAS-mutant lung cancer mouse models, we demonstrate that trametinib synergizes with PD-1 blockade to reduce lung cancer progression and increase mice overall survival. This antitumor activity was linked to the degradation of Id1 via proteasome, and an enhanced INF-Y-mediated PD-L1 tumor cell expression in KRAS-mutant tumor cells. This effect required CD8+ T cells, boosted the intratumoral CD8+/Treg ratio, reducing the intratumoral Treg/CD4+ ratio. Conclusions: Our data may support the role of Id1 in the trametinib antitumoral effect, sustaining the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathway involved in the trametinib acquired resistance cells and sensitizing KRAS-mutant lung tumors to PD-1 inhibitors, through PD-L1 overexpression.

Project description:<p>Immune checkpoint therapies, including monoclonal antibodies to programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic % lymphocyte associated protein-4 (CTLA-4), yield durable clinical responses across many tumor types, including metastatic melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, predictors of response to these therapies in RCC are still unknown. Genomic characterization of large clinical cohorts of patients treated with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 agents in melanoma and NSCLC have suggested that high mutational burden, high neoantigen burden, and high expression of certain genes in pre-treatment tumors may be associated with patient response to these therapies. In this study, we sought to investigate genomic predictors of response to anti-PD1 therapy in metastatic RCC in two independent clinical cohorts using whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing.</p>

Project description:Although immunotherapy with PD-(L)1 blockade is routine for lung cancer, little is known about acquired resistance. Among 1,201 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with PD-(L)1 blockade, acquired resistance is common, occurring in >60% of initial responders. Acquired resistance shows differential expression of inflammation and interferon (IFN) signaling. Relapsed tumors can be separated by upregulated or stable expression of IFNγ response genes. Upregulation of IFNγ response genes is associated with putative routes of resistance characterized by signatures of persistent IFN signaling, immune dysfunction, and mutations in antigen presentation genes which can be recapitulated in multiple murine models of acquired resistance to PD-(L)1 blockade after in vitro IFNγ treatment. Acquired resistance to PD-(L)1 blockade in NSCLC is associated with an ongoing, but altered IFN response. The persistently inflamed, rather than excluded or deserted, tumor microenvironment of acquired resistance informs therapeutic strategies to effectively reprogram and reverse acquired resistance.

Project description:Single-agent immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibition, has shown remarkable efficacy in selected cancer entities and individual patients. However, most patients fail to respond. This is likely due to diverse immunosuppressive mechanisms acting in a concerted way to suppress the host anti-tumor immune response reducing the efficacy of single-agent immunotherapy. Combination immunotherapy approaches that are effective in such poorly immunogenic tumors mostly rely on precise knowledge of immunological targets on tumor cells by vaccinations or antibodies engineered to directly target those. Thus, creating a target-agnostic combination immunotherapy that is effective in poorly immunogenic tumors for which an immunological target is not known is a major challenge. We show that combined adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) with lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAKs), cytokine-induced killer cells (CIKs), Vγ9Vδ2-T-cells (γδ-T-cells) and adaptive, tumor-specific T-cells (CTLs) display synergistic anti-tumor treatment effects, which is further enhanced by co-treatment with anti-PD1 antibodies. Most strikingly, combination of this ACT with anti-PD1 antibodies, local immunotherapy of agonists against Toll-like receptor 3, 7 and 9 and pre-ACT lymphodepletion, a protocol we named TRI-IT, eradicates established, poorly immunogenic tumors and induces durable anti-tumor immunity in a variety of poorly immunogenic syngeneic, autochthonous, as well as autologous humanized patient-derived models. Mechanistically, we show that TRI-IT co-activates adaptive cellular and humoral, as well as innate anti-tumor immune responses to mediate its anti-tumor effect without inducing off-target toxicity. Our data demonstrate the efficacy of a target-agnostic combination immunotherapy that eradicates and potentially cures established poorly immunogenic tumors.

Project description:Lenvatinib is an effective drug in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Its combination with the anti-PD1 immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab has achieved encouraging results in phase Ib and is currently being tested in phase III trials. Here, we aimed at exploring the molecular and immunomodulatory effects of lenvatinib alone or in combination with anti-PD1. We generated a syngeneic model of HCC in C57BL/6J mice and randomized the animals to receive placebo, lenvatinib, anti-PD1 or combination treatment. Transcriptomic analysis were performed to assess the expression profile of tumors from mice receiving each treatment strategy.
