Project description:Despite the progress in immunotherapies, leading immune checkpoint inhibitors are only effective in a subset of patients. The efficacy of atezolizumab, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is limited for unknown reasons. We utilized single-cell RNA- and ATAC-sequencing to examine the dynamics of immune cells in metastatic TNBC patients treated with paclitaxel or its combination with atezolizumab. We found that paclitaxel selectively damaged tumor-reactive T cells while atezolizumab was effective in a small set of patients with high levels of baseline B cells and CXCL13+ T cells. B cells concertedly expanded with CXCL13+ T cells in responsive patients following paclitaxel plus atezolizumab treatment. Our data highlight the importance of potential tumor-reactive T cells and their orchestrators in the effective response to anti-PD-L1 therapies, and reveal drawbacks of existing clinical trials for TNBC.

Project description:Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression has been associated with response to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition, but responses are also seen in patients with PD-L1 negative tumors when assessed immunohistochemically (IHC) with various antibodies. To help elucidate these findings, we performed a positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study in human with the anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab labeled with Zirconium-89 (89Zr) prior to treatment with atezolizumab to assess normal tissue distribution and evaluate tumor tracer uptake. Additionally, to help explain why some patients respond to checkpoint inhibitors despite low or absent PD-L1 expression, we compared PD-L1 expression and immune phenotypes based on both CD8 IHC and RNA sequencing of post-tracer biopsies to tumor tracer uptake (SUVmax).

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-? regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-? signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-? into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth. These data suggest that IFN-? works as a tumor progressor through PD-L1 induction. The source of IFN-? in ovarian cancer microenvironment and its biological effect to the tumor cells is unclear. The immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell line, HOSE-E7/hTERT (HOSE) was treated with IFN-? and expression microarray analysis was performed, and probes showing significantly higher values in IFN-?-added group were termed “IFN-? signature genes (295 probes)”. We then applied this signature to our ovarian cancer microarray data, which included 75 ovarian cancer clinical samples, by means of ss-GSEA. IFN-? signature score was strongly correlated to the number of infiltrating CD4-positive or CD8-positive lymphocytes in the tumors. These data suggest that the IFN-? in the ovarian cancer microenvironment is derived from lymphocytes, and an IFN-?-rich microenvironment is strongly correlated to a lymphocyte-rich microenvironment. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue were observed in different tumor immunological microenvironment.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is promising for treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We used multipanel markers to predict the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) by characterizing gene expression signatures or individual genes in patients who showed durable clinical benefit to ICIs. Twenty-one patients with NSCLC treated with single-agent anti-programmed cell death protein (PD)-1 antibody were analyzed and their clinicopathological characteristics and response to ICIs were characterized. Targeted sequencing of tissue-extracted DNA and RNA was performed using the Oncomine Immune Response Research Assay to evaluate 395 genes involved in the immune response and calculate the tumor mutation burden. Nine (43%) showed a durable clinical benefit (DCB), while the remaining 12 (57%) patients showed non-durable benefit (NDB). The M1 and peripheral T cell signatures showed the best performance for discriminating DCB from NDB (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy = 0.89, 1.0, 0.95, respectively). Progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly longer in patients with high M1 signature or high peripheral T cell signature scores. CD137 and PSMB9 mRNA expression was higher in the DCB group than in the NDB group. Patients with high PSMB9 expression showed longer PFS. M1 signature, peripheral T cell signature and high mRNA expression level of CD137 and PSMB9 showed better predictive performance than known biomarkers (PD-L1, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, tumor mutation burden). M1 and peripheral T cell signature of tumors may enable prediction of durable response and maximize the benefit of ICIs in patients with NSCLC.

Project description:Elevated plasma interleukin-8 (IL8) has been associated with poor outcome to immune checkpoint blockade. Here we performed single cell RNAseq with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients treated with atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1 mAb) from bladder cancer from a Phase II trial IMvigor210. We found that high IL8 gene expression is enriched in nonresponders to atezolizumab

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of melanoma. However, the majority of patients have primary or acquired resistance to ICIs, limiting durable responses and patient survival. Interferon-gamma (IFNg) signaling and the expression of IFNg-stimulated genes correlate with either response or resistance to ICIs, in a context-dependent manner. While IFNg-inducible immunostimulatory genes are required for response to ICIs, chronic IFNg signaling induces the expression of immunosuppressive genes, promoting resistance to these therapies. Here, we show that high levels of ULK1 correlate with poor survival in melanoma patients and overexpression of ULK1 in melanoma cells enhances IFNg-induced expression of immunosuppressive genes, with minimal effects on the expression of immunostimulatory genes. In contrast, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 reduces expression of IFNg-induced immunosuppressive genes. ULK1 binds IRF1 in the nuclear compartment of melanoma cells, controlling its binding to the PD-L1 promoter region. Additionally, pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy further reduces melanoma tumor growth and enhances anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Our data suggest that targeting ULK1 represses IFNg-dependent immunosuppression. These findings support the combination of ULK1 drug-targeted inhibition with ICIs for the treatment of melanoma patients to improve response rates and patient outcomes.

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-γ regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-γ signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-γ into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth.

Project description:The intrinsic regulation of PD-L1 expression remains unclear. Here we report that ZNF652 is a potent transcription repressor of PD-L1. ZNF652 frequently loses heterozygosity (LOH) in various cancers. Higher LOH rate and lack of estrogen-inducible transcription lead to suppressed expression of ZNF652 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Mechanistically, ZNF652 is physically associated with the NuRD transcription corepressor complex to repress a cohort of genes, including PD-L1. Overexpression of ZNF652 inhibits PD-L1 transcription, whereas depletion of ZNF652 upregulates PD-L1. Loss of ZNF652 in TNBC unleashes PD-L1-mediated immune evasion both in vitro and in vivo. Significantly, ZNF652 expression is progressively lost during breast cancer progression, and low ZNF652 level is correlated with elevated PD-L1 expression, less infiltrated CD8+ T cells, and poor prognosis in TNBC. Our study provides novel insights into PD-L1 regulation, and supports the pursuit of ZNF652 as a potential biomarker and drug target for breast cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Ovarian cancer often progresses by disseminating to the peritoneal cavity, but how the tumor cells evade host immunity during this process is poorly understood. Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is known to suppress immune system and to be an unfavorable prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the function of PD-L1 in peritoneal dissemination. Positive cytology in ascites was a significant poor prognostic factor in ovarian cancer. Microarray profiles of cytology-positive cases showed significant correlations with Gene Ontology terms related to immune system process. Microarray and immunohistochemistry in human ovarian cancer revealed significant correlation between PD-L1 expression and positive cytology. PD-L1 expression on mouse ovarian cancer cells was induced upon encountering lymphocytes in the course of peritoneal spread in vivo and upon co-culturing with lymphocytes in vitro. Tumor cell lysis by CTLs was attenuated when PD-L1 was overexpressed and promoted when it was silenced. PD-L1 overexpression also inhibited gathering and degranulation of CTLs. In mouse ovarian cancer dissemination models, depleting PD-L1 expression on tumor cells resulted in inhibited tumor growth in the peritoneal cavity and prolonged survival. Restoring immune function by inhibiting immune-suppressive factors such as PD-L1 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for peritoneal dissemination. Genome-wide transcriptional changes in human ovarian cancer tissue from ascites-cytology-positive or -negative patients.

Project description:Only a subset of patients responds to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma. A preclinical model recapitulating the clinical activity of ICB would provide a valuable platform for mechanistic studies. We used melanoma tumors arising from an Hgftg;Cdk4R24C/R24C genetically engineered mouse (GEM) model to evaluate the efficacy of an anti-mouse PD-L1 antibody similar to the anti-human PD-L1 antibodies durvalumab and atezolizumab. Consistent with clinical observations for ICB in melanoma, anti-PD-L1 treatment elicited complete and durable response in a subset of melanoma-bearing mice. We also observed tumor growth delay or regression followed by recurrence. For early treatment assessment, we analyzed gene expression profiles, T cell infiltration, and T cell receptor (TCR) signatures in regressing tumors compared to tumors exhibiting no response to anti-PD-L1 treatment. We found that CD8+ T cell tumor infiltration corresponded to response to treatment, and that anti-PD-L1 gene signature response indicated an increase in antigen processing and presentation, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity. TCR sequence data suggest that an anti-PD-L1-mediated melanoma regression response requires not only an expansion of the TCR repertoire that is unique to individual mice, but also tumor access to the appropriate TCRs. Thus, this melanoma model recapitulated the variable response to ICB observed in patients and exhibited biomarkers that differentiate between early response and resistance to treatment, providing a valuable platform for prediction of successful immunotherapy.
