PD-L1 blockade-induced temporal single cell dynamics in triple negative breast cancer

ABSTRACT: 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.

Gene expression profiles of PD-L1 SP142 expression in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:The SP142 PD-L1 assay is a companion diagnostic for atezolizumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The VENTANA SP142 assay was used to identify PD-L1 expression from TMA slides where PD-L1-positivity for an individual sample was defined as ≥1% of tumor-infiltrating immune cells as having PD-L1 expression. The PD-L1-positive gene signature consisted of 94 immune-related genes. The PD-L1-positive signature was predictive of pathologic complete response and survival outcome in multiple TNBC cohorts. In other malignancies treated with ICIs, the PD-L1-positive signature was associated with response and improved survival.

ML29755 RNA-seq data

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).

High gene expression of IL8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from bladder cancer patients is associated with nonresponders to atezolizumab

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

Anti-TIGIT antibody improves PD-L1 blockade through myeloid and Treg cells

Project description:Tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT antibody with an active IgG1κ Fc, demonstrated improved outcomes in the phase 2 CITYSCAPE trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03563716) when combined with atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) versus atezolizumab alone. However, there remains little consensus on the mechanism(s) of response with this combination. Here we find that a high baseline of intratumoural macrophages and regulatory T cells is associated with better outcomes in patients treated with atezolizumab plus tiragolumab but not with atezolizumab alone. Serum sample analysis revealed that macrophage activation is associated with a clinical benefit in patients who received the combination treatment. In mouse tumour models, tiragolumab surrogate antibodies inflamed tumour-associated macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells through Fcγ receptors (FcγR), in turn driving anti-tumour CD8+ T cells from an exhausted effector-like state to a more memory-like state. These results reveal a mechanism of action through which TIGIT checkpoint inhibitors can remodel immunosuppressive tumour microenvironments, and suggest that FcγR engagement is an important consideration in anti-TIGIT antibody development.

Soluble immune-checkpoint factors as a complementary biomarker for PD-1 blockade reflect exhaustion of antitumor immunity

Project description:BACKGROUND. Precise stratification of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is needed for appropriate application of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy. METHODS. We measured soluble (s) forms of the PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 in plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC before PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Prospective biomarker finding trial (cohort A), 50 patients with pretreated NSCLC received nivolumab. In cohort B to E, retrospective observational study, soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with any PD-1/PD-L1 blockade (cohort B and C), cytotoxic chemotherapy (D) or targeted therapy (E). Blood samples were obtained from all patients and soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated using a highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay. RESULTS. Nonresponsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy was associated with higher concentrations of these soluble immune factors among patients with immune-reactive (hot) tumors. Such correlation was not observed in patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Integrative analysis of tumor size, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue (tPD-L1), and gene expression in tumor tissue and peripheral CD8+ T cells revealed that high concentrations of the three soluble immune factors were associated with hyper or terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. The combination of sPD-L1 and sCTLA-4 efficiently discriminated responsiveness among patients with immune-reactive tumors. CONCLUSION. Combinations of soluble immune factors might be able to identify patients unlikely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a result of terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. Our data suggest such a combination might provide a biomarker complementary to tPD-L1 for NSCLC patients.

The impact of PD-1 antibody or G-CSF antibody on the immune system and the hematopoiesis of TNBC mice

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most intractable subtype of breast cancer. Inhibitors of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) or its ligand PD-L1 have been considered as promising treatment for TNBC patients. However, only a minor subset of TNBC patients benefits from the monotherapy. An analysis of how PD-1/PD-L1 blockage affect immune activities in TNBC tumor-bearing mice could provide insights for it limitation. G-CSF was known to be highly elevated in TNBC cells, and affecting hematopoiesis and the immune system. Spleen is an immune organ and with extramedullary hematopoiesis in TNBC mice. Here we analyzed splenocyte gene expressions changed by administration of either PD-1 antibody or G-CSF antibody in both 4T1 tumor bearing mice and non-tumor control mice. TNBC tumor significantly changed gene expressions in splenocytes, which is consistent with a significant change in splenocyte composition. These genes were enriched in immune related pathways. Anti-PD-1 antibody treatment had limited impact on spleen immune cells composition and splenocyte gene expressions. The most affected genes were enriched in metabolism and extracellular matrix related pathways. Anti-G-CSF antibody treatment had higher impact on the splenocyte gene expression profile, making it more like the gene expression profile in the non-tumor control mice.

Next Generation Sequencing of tumor tissue (4T1 cell) of BALB/c

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), particularly programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), has shown considerable clinical benefits in patients with various cancers. Many studies show that PD-L1 expression may be biomarkers to help select responders for anti-PD-1 treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that control PD-L1 expression. As a potential chemosensitizer and anticancer drug, copper combined with disulfiram (DSF) kills tumor cells by regulating multiple signaling pathways and transcription factors in vitro and in vivo. Here, we showed that DSF increased PD-L1 expression in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Through TCGA data analysis, we found that DNMT1 and IRF7 were highly expressed and the hypermethylation states in the IRF7 gene body promoter region in TNBC vs normal breast tissue (NBT). Then, we demonstrated that DSF affected PD-L1 expression via DNMT1-mediated IRF7 hypomethylation in two TNBC cell lines. In vivo experiments, DSF significantly enhanced the response to PD-1 antibody (Ab) in the triple-negative 4T1 BC mouse model. By analyzing the results of the tumor tissue sequencing, the DSF joint anti-PD-1 Ab could be a significant activation of anti-tumor immunity. And the inactive state of immune associated pathways was found to be reversed, such as Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, antigen processing and presentation, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity and T cell receptor signal transduction. In conclusion, we found that DSF could up-regulate PD-L1 in TNBC cells and elucidated its mechanism. Our findings revealed that the combination of DSF and anti-PD-1 Ab could activate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) to show much better antitumor efficacy than monotherapy.

PD-L1 Mediated Immune Evasion in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Is Linked to the Loss of ZNF652

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.

Novel inhibition of central carbon metabolism pathways by Rac and Cdc42 inhibitorMBQ-167 and paclitaxel

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents a therapeutic challenge where standard chemotherapy is limited to paclitaxel. MBQ-167, a clinical stage small molecule inhibitor that targets Rac and Cdc42, inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse models of TNBC. Herein, we investigated the efficacy of MBQ-167 in combination with paclitaxel in TNBC pre-clinical models, as a prelude to safety trials of this combination in advanced breast cancer patients. Individual MBQ-167 or combination therapy with paclitaxel was more effective at reducing TNBC cell viability and increasing apoptosis compared to paclitaxel alone. In orthotopic mouse models of human TNBC (MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468), individual MBQ-167, paclitaxel, or the combination reduced mammary tumor growth with similar efficacy, with no apparent liver toxicity. However, paclitaxel single agent treatment significantly increased lung metastasis, while MBQ-167, single or combined, reduced lung metastasis. In the syngeneic 4T1/BALB/c model, combined MBQ-167 and paclitaxel decreased established lung metastases by ~80%. To determine the molecular basis for the improved efficacy of the combined treatment on metastasis, 4T1 tumor extracts from BALB/c mice treated with MBQ-167, paclitaxel, or the combination were subjected to transcriptomic analysis. Gene set enrichment identified specific downregulation of central carbon metabolic pathways by the combination of MBQ-167 and Paclitaxel but not individual compounds. Biochemical validation, by immunoblotting and metabolic Seahorse analysis, shows that combined MBQ-167 and paclitaxel reduces glycolysis. This study provides a strong rationale for the clinical testing of MBQ-167 in combination with paclitaxel as a potential therapeutic for TNBC and identifies a unique mechanism of action.

Epigenetic repression of STING by MYC promotes immune evasion and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in triple negative breast cancer [CHIP-seq]

Project description:The MYC oncogene is frequently amplified in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we show that MYC suppression induces immune-related hallmark gene set signatures and tumor infiltrating T cells in MYC-hyperactivated TNBCs. Mechanistically, MYC repressed stimulator of interferon genes (STING) expression via direct binding to the STING enhancer region, resulting in downregulation of the T cell chemokines CCL5, CXCL10 and CXCL11. In primary and metastatic TNBC cohorts, tumors with high MYC expression or activity exhibited low STING expression. Using a CRISPR-mediated enhancer perturbation approach, we demonstrated that MYC-driven immune evasion is mediated by STING repression. STING repression induced resistance to PD-L1 blockade in mouse models of TNBC. Finally, a small molecule inhibitor of MYC combined with PD-L1 blockade elicited a durable response in immune-cold TNBC with high MYC levels, suggesting a strategy to restore PD-L1 inhibitor sensitivity in MYC-overexpressing TNBC.
