The expression profile of miRNA in response to IFN-γ-driven ferroptosis in melanoma

ABSTRACT: Anti-PD-1 immunotherapy has been established to be greatly effective in melanoma treatment, but the low response rate and occurrence of treatment resistance significantly hinder its efficacy. Recent studies have demonstrated that IFN-γ secreted by tumor-infiltrating CD8+T cells suppresses the expression of Xc- system to induce ferroptosis of tumor cells. However, whether the escape of tumor cells from ferroptosis facilitates the resistance to immunotherapy and the upstream regulatory mechanism remain elusive. MiRNAs participate in ferroptosis execution and can be delivered systemically by nanoparticle or alternative carriers, through which obvious therapeutic effect on cancer has been obtained. Herein, through RNA sequencing, we first obtained miRNAs expression profile of melanoma cells in IFN-γ-potentiated ferroptosis.

Radiotherapy and IFNγ treatment effect on transcriptome in HT1080 cells

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is a powerful oncologic treatment modality for a wide variety of human malignancies. Randomized clinical trials are assessing how best to interdigitate this treatment modality with traditional therapies including radiotherapy. A challenge in oncology is to rationally and effectively integrate immunotherapy with traditional modalities including radiotherapy. Here, we demonstrate that radiotherapy induces tumor cell ferroptosis. Ferroptosis agonists augment and ferroptosis antagonists limit radiotherapy efficacy in tumor models. Immunotherapy sensitizes tumors to radiotherapy by promoting tumor cell ferroptosis. Mechanistically, IFN derived from immunotherapy-activated CD8+ T cells and radiotherapy-activated ATM independently, yet synergistically repress SLC7A11, a unit of the glutamate-cystine antiporter xc-, resulting in reduced cystine uptake, enhanced tumor lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, and improved tumor control. Thus, ferroptosis is an unappreciated mechanism and focus for the development of effective combinatorial cancer therapy.

CD8+ T cells regulate tumor ferroptosis during cancer immunotherapy

Project description:CD8+ T cells activated by cancer immunotherapy execute tumor clearance mainly by inducing cell death through perforin-granzyme- and Fas/Fas ligand-pathways. Ferroptosis is a form of cell death that differs from apoptosis and results from iron-dependent lipid peroxide accumulation. Although it was mechanistically illuminated in vitro, emerging evidence has shown that ferroptosis may be implicated in a variety of pathological scenarios. However, the involvement of ferroptosis in T cell immunity and cancer immunotherapy is unknown. Here, we find that immunotherapy-activated CD8+ T cells enhance ferroptosis-specific lipid peroxidation in tumor cells, and in turn, increased ferroptosis contributes to the anti-tumor efficacy of immunotherapy. Mechanistically, IFNg released from CD8+ T cells downregulates expression of SLC3A2 and SLC7A11, two subunits of glutamate-cystine antiporter system xc-, restrains tumor cell cystine uptake, and as a consequence, promotes tumor cell lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. In preclinical models, depletion of cyst(e)ine by cyst(e)inase in combination with checkpoint blockade synergistically enhances T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity and induces tumor cell ferroptosis. Thus, T cell-promoted tumor ferroptosis is a novel anti-tumor mechanism. Targeting tumor ferroptosis pathway constitutes a therapeutic approach in combination with checkpoint blockade.

Propafenone facilitates mitochondrial-associated ferroptosis and synergizes with immunotherapy in melanoma

Project description:Despite the successful application of immunotherapy, both innate and acquired resistance are typical in melanoma. Ferroptosis induction appears to be a potential strategy to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy. However, the relationship between the status of ferroptosis and the effectiveness of immunotherapy, as well as viable strategies to augment ferroptosis, remain unclear. In this study, through large-scale drug screening of cardiovascular drugs, we identified propafenone, an anti-arrhythmia medication, as capable of synergizing with ferroptosis inducers in melanoma. Furthermore, we observed that propafenone, in combination with RSL3, collaboratively induces mitochondrial-associated ferroptosis. Mechanistically, propafenone transcriptionally upregulates mitochondrial HMOX1 via activation of the JNK/JUN signaling pathway under RSL3 treatment, leading to overloaded ferrous iron and ROS within the mitochondria. In xenograft models, the combination of propafenone with ferroptosis induction led to nearly complete tumor regression. Consistently, propafenone enhances immunotherapy-induced antitumor immunity and tumoral ferroptosis in tumor-bearing mice. Significantly, patients exhibiting high levels of ferroptosis/JUN/HMOX1 exhibited improved efficacy of immunotherapy and prolonged progression-free survival. These findings suggest that propafenone holds promise as a candidate drug for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy and other ferroptosis-targeted therapies in the treatment of melanoma.

LAG3 and PD1 synergize on CD8+ T cells to drive T cell exhaustion and hinder autocrine IFN gamma-dependent anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Combined nivolumab (anti-PD1) and relatlimab (anti-LAG3) have shown enhanced effectiveness in melanoma patients. However, how these two receptors work together to hinder anti-tumor immunity remains unclear. Our study demonstrates that PD1/LAG3-deficient CD8+ T cells with more effectively clearing tumors and survive longer in melanoma mouse models. These PD1/LAG3-deficient CD8+ T cells have unique transcriptional profiles, broad TCR clonality, and enriched effector-like and interferon-responsive genes, leading to increased IFN gamma release indicating functionality. PD1 and LAG3 together drive T cell exhaustion, with a significant impact on TOX modulation. Mechanistically, autocrine IFN gamma signaling is crucial for enhancing anti-tumor immunity in PD1/LAG3-deficient CD8+ T cells, providing insights into the enhanced efficacy of combined PD1 and LAG3 targeting.

Clonal deletion of tumor-specific T cells by IFN-g confers therapeutic resistance to combination immune checkpoint blockade

Project description:Combination immunotherapy is being developed with the goal of enhancing anti-tumor immunity. Despite remarkable clinical responses, most patients do not experience complete responses from combination checkpoint blockade treatments. Therefore, a need exists to further explore the mechanisms of resistance to these therapies. Here, we investigate whether tumor burden could be an important factor in determining the treatment outcomes of combination checkpoint blockade. We found that while combined anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 improves control of established tumors, this combination can paradoxically compromise anti-tumor immunity in the low tumor burden (LTB) state in pre-clinical models as well as in melanoma patients. This paradoxical outcome results from treatment-induced deletion of tumor-specific T cells that is mediated through IFN-γ. Activated tumor-specific T cells express higher levels of IFN-γ receptor and are more susceptible to apoptosis. As a result, combination treatment alters the T cell repertoire landscape, skewing the distribution of T cells toward lower frequency clonotypes. Deficiency of the IFN-γ receptor on immune cells restores anti-tumor activity. Additionally, tumor-specific T cells lacking the IFN-γ receptor demonstrate a significant survival advantage compared to their wild-type counterparts in tumor-bearing mice receiving combination therapy. Finally, we show that combination therapy induces significantly higher levels of IFN-γ in the low versus high tumor burden state on a per cell basis, reflecting their less exhausted immune status. This elevated IFN-γ secretion in the LTB state therefore contributes to the development of an immune-intrinsic mechanism of resistance to combination checkpoint blockade. Our report underscores the importance of achieving the optimal magnitude of immune stimulation for successful immunotherapy strategies.

MYC induces immunotherapy and interferon-γ resistance through downregulation of JAK2

Project description:Immunotherapy revolutionized the treatment of advanced melanoma. As the pathways mediating resistance to immunotherapy are largely unknown, we conducted transcriptome profiling of pre-immunotherapy tumor biopsies from melanoma patients that received PD-1 blockade (n=36) or adoptive cell therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (n=37). We identified two melanoma-intrinsic mutually exclusive gene programs, which are controlled by interferon-γ and MYC, and determine immunotherapy outcome. MYC-overexpressing melanoma cells exhibited lower interferon-γ responsiveness, which was linked with JAK2 downregulation. Luciferase activity assays under the control of JAK2 promoter demonstrated reduced activity in MYC-overexpressing cells, which was reversible upon mutagenesis of MYC E-box binding sites in the JAK2 promoter. Moreover, silencing of MYC or its co-factor MAX with siRNA increased JAK2 expression and interferon-γ responsiveness of melanomas, while concomitantly enhancing the effector functions of T-cells co-incubated with MYC-overexpressing cells. Thus, we propose that MYC plays a pivotal role in immunotherapy resistance through downregulation of JAK2.

UV effects in mouse melanocytes

Project description:Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major melanoma risk factor, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we introduce a mouse model permitting fluorescence-aided melanocyte imaging and isolation following in vivo UV irradiation. We use expression profiling to show that activated neonatal skin melanocytes isolated following a melanomagenic UVB dose bear a distinct, persistent interferon-response signature, including genes associated with immunoevasion. UVB-induced melanocyte activation, characterized by aberrant growth and migration, was abolished by antibody-mediated systemic blockade of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), but not type-I interferons. IFN-gamma was produced by macrophages recruited to neonatal skin by UVB-induced chemokine receptor Ccr2 ligands. Admixed recruited skin macrophages enhanced transplanted melanoma growth by inhibiting apoptosis; notably, IFN-gamma blockade abolished macrophage-associated melanoma growth and survival. IFN-gamma-producing macrophages were identified in 70% of human melanomas examined. Our data reveal an unanticipated role for IFN-gamma in promoting melanocytic cell survival/immunoevasion, and suggest IFN-gamma-R signaling represents a novel therapeutic melanoma target. Biologic replicates of UVA- and UVB-treated mouse melanocytes, as well as untreated mouse melanocytes and mouse keratinocytes, were used to define melanocyte expression signatures associated with UV treatment.

Immunoproteasome expression is associated with better prognosis and response to checkpoint therapies in melanoma

Project description:Predicting the outcome of immunotherapy treatment in melanoma patients is challenging. Alterations in genes involved in antigen presentation and the interferon gamma (IFN) pathway play an important role in the immune response to tumors. We describe here that the overexpression of PSMB8 and PSMB9, two components of the immunoproteasome, is predictive of better survival and improved response to immune-checkpoint inhibitors of melanoma patients. We study the mechanism that underlies this connection by analyzing the antigenic peptide repertoire of cells that overexpress these subunits using HLA peptidomics. We find a higher response of patient-matched tumor infiltrating lymphocytes against antigens deferentially presented after immunoproteasome overexpression. which may explain the higher immune infiltration observed in patients with high immunoproteasome expression levels. Importantly, we find that PSMB8 and PSMB9 expression levels are much stronger predictors of melanoma patients immune response to checkpoint inhibitors than the tumors mutational burden. Taken together, these results suggest that their expression levels can serve as important biomarkers for stratifying melanoma patients for immune-checkpoint treatment.
