Concurrent delivery of immune checkpoint blockade improves tumor microenvironment for vaccine-generated immunity

ABSTRACT: Neoantigen vaccines aiming to induce and amplify tumor-specific T cell responses have received promising anti-tumor effect in early clinical trials. However, the underlying mechanism regarding response or resistance to this treatment remains unclear. Here, we observed that neoantigen vaccine-generated T cells could synergize with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) for effective tumor control. Specifically, we performed single-cell sequencing on over 100,000 T cells and uncovered that combined therapy induced a novel antigen-specific CD8 T cell population with active chemokine signaling (Cxcr3+/Ccl5+), lower co-inhibitory receptor expression (Lag3-/Havcr2-) and higher cytotoxicity (Fasl+/Gzma+). Furthermore, the generation of antigen specific T cells in the drain lymph node is required for combination treatment mediated therapeutic effect. Signature genes of this unique population is associated with T cell clonal frequency and better survival in human. Our study comprehensively profiled the dynamics of tumor infiltrated T cells during neoantigen vaccine and ICB treatments, and high-dimensionally identified neoantigen-reactive T cell signatures for future development of better therapeutic strategies.

Personalized dendritic cell vaccine facilitates the preparation of neoantigen-reactive T cells for adoptive transfer (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) using neoantigen-specific T cells is an effective immunotherapeutic strategy. However, the difficulty in identifying and screening neoantigen-specific T cells limits its widespread application. Here, we prepared neoantigen-reactive T cells (NRTs) after immunization with a tumor lysate-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccine (OCDC) for ACT. Our results demonstrated that the OCDC vaccine could induce a neoantigen-specific immune response, and it was feasible to prepare NRTs by loading immunogenic neoantigens onto DCs and coculturing them with spleen lymphocytes from mice immunized with the OCDC vaccine. We then transferred these NRTs back to the LL/2 tumor-bearing mice after OCDC vaccine immunization and found that OCDC vaccine and NRTs adoptive transfer combination treatment could induce a stronger antitumor response. Furthermore, we found that infused NRTs could migrate into the tumor microenvironment to exert antitumor effects. Our research provides a new and convenient method of preparing NRTs for ACT. The clinical translation of this approach has the potential to increase ACT efficacy.

CD4 T cell activating neoantigens enhance personalized cancer vaccine efficacy

Project description:Personalized cancer vaccines aim to activate and expand cytotoxic anti-tumor CD8+ T cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. However, the role of CD4+ T cell activation in the clinical benefit of these vaccines is not well defined. We previously established a personalized neoantigen vaccine (PancVAX) for the pancreatic cancer cell line Panc02, which activates tumor-specific CD8+ T cells but required combinatorial checkpoint modulators to achieve therapeutic efficacy. To determine the effects of neoantigen-specific CD4+ T cell activation, we generated a new vaccine (PancVAX2) targeting both MHCI- and MHCII-specific neoantigens. Tumor-bearing mice vaccinated with PancVAX2 had significantly improved control of tumor growth and long-term survival benefit without concurrent administration of checkpoint inhibitors. PancVAX2 significantly enhanced priming and recruitment of neoantigen-specific CD8+ T into the tumor with lower PD1 expression after reactivation compared to the CD8+ vaccine alone. Vaccine-induced neoantigen- specific Th1 CD4+ T cells in the tumor were associated with decreased T regulatory cells (Tregs). Consistent with this, PancVAX2 was associated with more pro-immune myeloid-derived suppressor cells and M1-like macrophages in the tumor demonstrating a less immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This study demonstrates the biological importance of prioritizing and including CD4 T cell-specific neoantigens for personalized cancer vaccine modalities.

Abbott2021 - Prediction of Immunotherapy Response in Melanoma through Combined Modeling of NB and Immune-Related Resistance Mechanisms

Project description:In this manuscript, the authors had hypothesized a multi-dimensional approach modeling of both tumor and immune-related molecular mechanisms would better predict immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response than simpler mutation-focused biomarkers, such as tumor mutational burden (TMB). The authors showed that the predictive power increases with deeper modeling of neoantigens and immune-related resistance mechanisms of ICB. The neoantigen burden score (NBS) and composite neoantigen presentation score (NEOPS) mentioned in the transcript was fully reproduced. Internally they used XGBoost algorithm to generate the results and the same is provided as dataset file. That is, the dataset provided here demonstrates that their integrative approach outperformed single-analyte biomarkers such as those found in cohort of patients with late-stage melanoma. This model is now addresses the issues in reproducing itself which was caused by version changes and deprecation of some R packages. It uses checkpoint package, which acts as a time machine for CRAN packages thereby promoting FAIReR sharing of ML models.

Immunologic and clinical activity to ICB combinations in DAPPER Leiomyosarcoma cohort

Project description:Non-inflamed (cold) tumors such as leiomyosarcoma (LMS) do not benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) monotherapy. Combining ICB with angiogenesis-, or poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors may increase tumor immunogenicity by altering the immune cell composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The DAPPER phase II study evaluated the safety, immunologic, and clinical activity of ICB-based combinations in pre-treated LMS patients.

Adenoviral based-vaccine promotes neoantigen specific CD8+ T cell stemness and tumor rejection

Project description:Upon chronic antigen exposure, CD8+ T cells become exhausted acquiring a dysfunctional state correlated with the inability to control infection or tumor. In contrast to exhausted T cells, stem-like CD8+ T progenitors maintain the ability to promote and sustain effective immunity. Adenovirus (Ad) vectored vaccines encoding tumor neoantigens have been shown to eradicate large tumors when combined with anti-Programmed cell death protein 1 (αPD-1) in murine models, however the mechanisms and translational potential have not yet been elucidated. Here, we show that gorilla Ad vaccine targeting tumor neoepitopes enhance responses to αPD-1 therapy, by improving immunogenicity and anti-tumor efficacy. Single cell RNA-seq demonstrated that the combination of Ad vaccine and αPD-1 increased the number of murine polyfunctional neoantigen specific CD8+ T cells over αPD-1 monotherapy, with an accumulation of Tcf1+ stem-like progenitors in draining lymph nodes and effector CD8+T cells in tumors. Combined TCR sequencing analysis highlighted a broader spectrum of neoantigen specific CD8+ T cells upon vaccination compared to αPD-1 monotherapy. The translational relevance of these data is supported by results obtained in the first 12 patients with metastatic deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) tumors vaccinated with an Ad vaccine encoding shared neoantigens. Expansion and diversification of TCRs was observed in post-treatment biopsies of patients with clinical response, as well as an increase in tumor infiltrating T cells with an effector memory signature. These findings indicate a promising mechanism to overcome resistance to PD-1 blockade, by promoting immunogenicity and broadening the spectrum and magnitude of neoantigen-specific T cells infiltrating tumors.

Expansion of Tumor-Infiltrating CD8+ T Cell Clonotypes Occurs in the Spleen in Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) enhances tumor-reactive T cell responses against cancer, leading to long-term tumor control and survival in a fraction of patients. Given the increasingly recognized complexity of CD8+ T cell differentiation that occurs in response to chronic antigen stimulation, it remains unclear precisely which T cell differentiation states are critical for the response to ICB, as well as the anatomic sites at which ICB-mediated reinvigoration of these T cells occurs. We used paired single-cell RNA and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing to profile endogenous, tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells isolated from tumors, tumor-draining lymph nodes, and spleens of mice treated with ICB. We identified an intermediate-exhausted population of T cells in the spleen which underwent the greatest expansion in response to ICB and gave rise to the majority of tumor-infiltrating clonotypes. Increasing concentrations of systemic antigen perturbed the differentiation of this phenotype towards an exhausted_KLR state, while a lack of cross-presentation of tumor-derived antigen blunted differentiation in the spleen. We identified an analogous population of exhausted_KLR CD8+ T cells in matched human tumor and blood samples that exhibited diminished tumor-trafficking ability. Collectively, our data demonstrate the critical role of antigen density within the spleen in coordinating the differentiation and expansion of tumor-infiltrating T cell clonotypes in response to ICB.

Neoantigen-Augmented iPSC-based Cancer Vaccine Combined with Local Radiotherapy Promotes Systemic Antitumor Immunity in Poorly Immunogenic Cancers

Project description:Although irradiated induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a prophylactic cancer vaccine elicit an antitumor immune response, the therapeutic efficacy of iPSC-based cancer vaccines is not promising due to their insufficient antigenicity and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we found that neoantigen-engineered iPSC cancer vaccines can trigger neoantigen-specific T cell responses to eradicate cancer cells and increase the therapeutic efficacy of RT in poorly immunogenic colorectal cancer (CRC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We generated neoantigen-augmented iPSCs (NA-iPSCs) by engineering AAV2 vector carrying murine neoantigens and evaluated their therapeutic efficacy in combination with radiotherapy. After administration of NA-iPSC cancer vaccine and radiotherapy, we found that ~60% of tumor-bearing mice achieved a complete response in microsatellite-stable CRC model. Furthermore, splenocytes from mice treated with NA-iPSC plus RT produced high levels of IFN secretion in response to neoantigens and had a greater cytotoxicity to cancer cells, suggesting that the NA-iPSC vaccine combined with radiotherapy elicited a superior neoantigen-specific T-cell response to eradicate cancer cells. The superior therapeutic efficacy of NA-iPSCs engineered by mouse TNBC neoantigens was also observed in the syngeneic immunocompetent TNBC mouse model. We found that the risk of spontaneous lung and liver metastasis was dramatically decreased by NA-iPSCs plus RT in the TNBC animal model. Altogether, these results indicated that autologous iPSC cancer vaccines engineered by neoantigens can elicit a high neoantigen-specific T-cell response, promote tumor regression and reduce the risk of distant metastasis in combination with local radiotherapy.

T Cell Receptor-mimic STAR Conveys Superior Sensitivity over CAR in Targeting Tumors with Low-density Neoantigens

Project description:Targeting tumor-specific neoantigens is promising for cancer immunotherapy, yet their ultra-low expression on tumor cells poses significant challenges for T cell therapies. Here, we found that chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) exhibited 10-100 times lower sensitivity compared to T cell receptors (TCRs) when targeting p53R175H common neoantigen. To enhance CAR functionality, we introduce T cell receptor fusion construct (TRuC) and synthetic TCR and antigen receptor (STAR). Our data demonstrate that STAR, which incorporates TCR-mimic antibody fragments and complete TCR signaling machinery, optimally reproduces antigen sensitivity of TCRs. STAR outperforms both CAR and TRuC in redirecting both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells to recognize HLA class I neoantigens. In vitro, human primary T cells engineered with STAR kill multiple cancer cell lines with low neoantigen density better than CAR-T and TRuC-T cells. In tumor mouse models, STAR-T cells outperform CAR-T and TRuC-T cells in controlling neoantigen-low breast cancer and leukemia. Taken together, our findings highlight severe defects in CAR sensitivity and introduce STAR as a more sensitive synthetic receptor, providing a new framework for T cell-based immunotherapy targeting tumors with low neoantigen density.

Neoantigen targeted dendritic cell vaccine generates durable T cell responses exhibiting the full spectrum of differentiation states in NSCLC patients

Project description:Background. Dendritic cell (DC)-based neoantigen vaccination holds potential as a safe and effective adjuvant therapy for patients with early-stage, resectable NSCLC, a tumor type typically characterized by high mutational loads. DCs have the unique ability to elicit robust antitumoral T-cell responses, while neoantigens are ideal targets to elicit high-affinity T cell responses with exquisite tumor specificity. Here, we present the results of a phase I clinical trial in which a novel DC vaccine targeting neoantigens was evaluated in six patients with early stage, resected NSCLC. Methods. Tumor samples were subjected to a comprehensive neoantigen identification approach encompassing genomics, transcriptomics and immunopeptidomics. Patients underwent leukapheresis for the manufacturing of monocyte-derived DCs loaded with neoantigens (Neo-mDCs) according to a four-day protocol. Neo-mDCs were injected intravenously following an intrapatient dose escalation scheme. Primary endpoint of the trial was safety. Secondary endpoints were feasibility, immunogenicity, and relapse-free survival. As a quality control, dendritic cells transfected with the mRNA-encoded neoantigen were analyzed by shotgun proteomics to validate expression of the mRNA-encoded neoantigen. Results. The vaccine was demonstrated to be feasible and safe. T cell responses were observed in 5 of 6 vaccinated patients and were dominated by CD8+ T cells, which could be detected ex vivo at high frequencies >1.5 years after the last dose. Furthermore, single cell analysis indicated that the CD8+ T cell responsive population was polyclonal and exhibited the near entire spectrum of T cell differentiation states, including a naïve-like state associated with long lasting memory. Additionally, mRNA-encoded neoantigen were detected by shotgun proteomics in four patients out of the six patients that were tested.
