Lung tumor MHCII immunity depends on in situ antigen presentation by fibroblasts. [CAF]

ABSTRACT: A key unknown of the functional space in tumor immunity is whether physiologically relevant cancer antigen presentation occurs solely in draining lymph nodes versus tumors. Professional antigen presenting cells, i.e. the dendritic cells, are scarce and immature within tumors, greatly outnumbered by MHCII expressing non-hematopoietic cells, such as antigen-presenting cancer-associated fibroblasts (apCAFs). We hypothesized that after their exit from tumor-draining lymph nodes T cells depend on a second wave of antigen presentation provided in situ by structural cells. We show that dense apCAF regions in human lung tumors define hot immunological spots with increased numbers of CD4 T cells. The transcriptomic profile of human lung apCAFs aligned to that of pancreatic apCAFs across mice and humans and were both enriched for alveolar type II genes, suggesting an epithelial origin. Mechanistically, human apCAFs directly activated the TCRs of adjacent effector CD4 T cells and at the same time produced high levels of c1q, which acted on surface c1qbp on T cells to rescue them from apoptosis. Fibroblast-specific deletion of MHCII in mice impaired local MHCII immunity and accelerated tumor growth, while inducing c1qbp overexpression in adoptively transferred T cells expanded their numbers within tumors and reduced tumour burden. Collectively, our work shows that tumor T cell immunity post lymph node exit requires peripheral antigen presentation by a subset of CAFs and proposes a new conceptual framework upon which effective cancer immunotherapies can be built.

MHC class II antigen presentation by tumoral lymphatics is required for tumor specific signature and suppressive functions of Tregs

Project description:A number of solid malignancies triggers lymphangiogenesis, facilitating metastasis. Recent studies further indicate that tumor-associated lymphatic vessels significantly contribute to the generation of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we have investigated the ability of tumor-associated lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to function as MHC class II restricted antigen-presenting cells in the regulation of anti-tumor immunity. Using murine models of lymphangiogenic tumors engrafted under the skin, we show that tumor LECs upregulate MHCII and the MHCII antigen processing machinery, and promote Treg expansion ex vivo. Using mice with a LEC-restricted lack of MHCII expression, we demonstrate that tumor growth is severely impaired, whereas tumor-infiltrating T effector cells are increased. Reduction of tumor growth and reinvigoration of tumor-specific T cell responses both result from alterations of the tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cell (Treg) transcriptome and phenotype. Treg suppressive functions are consequently profoundly altered in tumors lacking MHCII in LECs. No difference in effector T cell responses or Treg phenotype and functions were observed in tumor-draining lymph nodes, indicating that MHCII restricted antigen presentation by LECs is required locally in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to confer potent suppressive functions to Tregs. Altogether, our study advocates a role for MHCII-restricted antigen-presenting tumor LECs that function as a local brake, dampening tumor T cell immunity and promoting intratumoral Treg suppressive functions.

Longitudinal scRNA-Seq of immune cells from GL261 murine brain Tumors and MHC class II deficient tumor-mircoenvironments

Project description:Longitudinal phenotyping of T cells and myeloid cells in early (day 14) and late (day26) GL261 tumors. Single cell RNA sequencing of CD45+ immune cell from intracranial murine GL261-SIINFEKL tumors 20 days after inoculation. SIINFEKL-reactive T cells were sorted based on dextramer staining. Using time-resolved scRNA-seq of murine tumor-infiltrating immune cells from early (d14) and late stage (d26) syngeneic GL261 gliomas we observed constant MHCII expression by murine microglia over time and overall high but decreasing MHCII expression in late stage bbm indicating a dynamic process of MHCII expression. We show that loss of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (MHCII)-restricted antigen presentation on bbm drives dysfunctional intratumoral tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell states through increased expression of Tox, a critical regulator of T cell exhaustion. By calculating the normalized abundance of T cell states along the pseudotime trajectory of SIINFEKL-reactive CD8+ T cells retrieved from myeloidMHCII-proficient and -deficient microenvironments, we found an enrichment of a distinct T cell state in myeloidMHCIIKO CD8+ T cells that was defined by peak expression of exhaustion markers. Mechanistically, MHCII-dependent activation of CD4+ T cells restricts myeloid-derived osteopontin that triggers a chronic activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (Nfat)2 in tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. In summary, we provide evidence that MHCII-restricted antigen presentation on bbm is a key mechanism to directly maintain functional cytotoxic T cell states in brain tumors.

Project description:Single cell ATAC sequencing of SIINFEKL-reactive immune cell from intracranial murine GL261-SIINFEKL tumors 20 days after inoculation. SIINFEKL-reactive T cells were sorted based on dextramer staining. We show that loss of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II (MHCII)-restricted antigen presentation on bbm drives dysfunctional intratumoral tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell states through increased chromatin accessibility and expression of Tox, a critical regulator of T cell exhaustion.

RNASeq of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer

Project description:<p>Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a subset of dendritic cells with unique immunophenotypic properties and functions. While their role in antiviral immunity through production of type I interferons is well-established, their contributions to anti-tumor immunity are less clear. While some evidence demonstrates that pDC in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may drive CD4+ T cell to become <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/50943">Foxp3</a>+ T regulatory cells, little is understood about the relationship of pDC with cytotoxic CD8+ T cell, the key player in antitumor immune responses.</p> <p>In this study, we perform comprehensive immunophenotyping and functional analysis of pDC from the TME and draining lymph nodes of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and identify a novel pDC subset characterized by expression of the TNF receptor superfamily member <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=7293">CD134 (OX40)</a>. We show that OX40 expression is expressed on intratumoral pDC in both humans and mice in a tumor-model specific fashion and that this subset of pDC enhances tumor associated-antigen (TAA)-specific CD8+ T cell responses. Through transcriptomic profiling of OX40-expressing pDC from the TME, we further characterize gene signatures unique to this pDC subset that support its role as an important immunostimulatory immune population in the TME.</p>

A chemokine trail laid down by migratory dendritic cells directs antigen-presenting monocytes into draining lymph nodes

Project description:Antigen presenting dendritic cells (DCs) and monocytes capture and transport antigens from barrier tissues for presentation to antigen-specific T cells in the draining-lymph nodes (LNs). While DCs enter LNs through afferent lymphatics in a CCR7-dependent manner, how exactly antigen-carrying monocytes reach LNs is less clear since monocytes do not express CCR7 and can also enter LNs via the bloodstream. In steady state, and following injection of several PAMPs, scRNA-seq data on LN mononuclear phagocytes identified LN resident versus migratory type 1 and type 2 conventional (c)DCs despite downregulation of DC subset-defining transcripts, such as Xcr1, Clec9a, H2-Ab1, Sirpa, and Clec10a on migratory cDCs. Migratory cDCs gained expression of transcripts controlling cellular migration such as Ccr7, Ccl17, Ccl22, and Ccl5, while migratory monocytes expressed Ccr5 without Ccr7. Using two tracking methods and a gating strategy that clearly distinguishes migratory CD88hiCD26lo monocytes from CD88-CD26hi cDCs, we found that both captured antigens in the lung and migrated to lung-draining LNs. Using global and mixed-chimeric Ccl5-, Ccr2-, Ccr5-, Ccr7-, and Batf3-deficient mice, we found that CCR5+ monocytes follow CCL5-secreting migratory cDCs to reach the draining LN via lymphatic vessels. In a model of asthma, such recruited monocytes regulated the induction of type 2 immunity. Overall, our data suggest that CCL5-secreting migratory cDCs lay down the chemokine trail for CCR5+ antigen-presenting monocytes to reach draining lymph nodes and regulate adaptive immunity.

A Lactate-induced SREBF2-dependent genetic program drives an immunotolerant dendritic cell population during cancer progression [Spatial transcriptomics]

Project description:Dendritic cells (cDCs) are essential mediators of anti-tumor immunity. Cancers have developed mechanisms to render DCs dysfunctional within the tumor microenvironment. Utilizing CD63 as a unique surface marker, we demonstrate that mature regulatory DCs (mregDCs) suppress DC antigen cross-presentation while driving TH2 and regulatory T cell differentiation within tumor-draining lymph node tissues. Transcriptional and metabolic studies show that mregDC functionality is dependent upon the mevalonate biosynthetic pathway and the master transcription factor, SREBP2. Melanoma-derived lactate activates DC SREBP2 in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and drives mregDC development from conventional DCs. DC-specific genetic silencing and pharmacologic inhibition of SREBP2 promotes anti-tumor CD8+ T cell activation and suppresses melanoma progression. CD63+ mregDCs reside within the sentinel lymph nodes of melanoma patients. Collectively, this work describes a tumor-driven SREBP2-dependent program that promotes CD63+ mregDC development and function while serving as a promising therapeutic target for overcoming immune tolerance in the TME.
