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

ABSTRACT: 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.

SMARCAL1 is a dual regulator of innate immune signaling and PD-L1 expression that promotes tumor immune evasion

Project description:Although genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 relieves endogenous DNA damage and suppresses cGAS-STING-dependent immune signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a transcriptional regulatory element in the PD-L1 gene, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. Loss of SMARCAL1 enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a valuable target for cancer immunotherapy.

Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.

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.

SETDB1-TRIM28 complex suppresses antitumor immunity [RNA-seq]

Project description:Epigenetic mechanism contributes to immune landscapes in cancer. Here we identify the SETDB1-TRIM28 complex as a critical suppressor of antitumor immunity. An epigenetic CRISPR-Cas9 screen of 1,218 chromatin regulators identified TRIM28 as a novel suppressor of PD-L1 expression. We revealed that expression of the SETDB1-TRIM28 complex negatively correlates with infiltration of effector CD8+ T cells. Inhibition of SETDB1-TRIM28 simultaneously upregulates PD-L1 and activates the cGAS-STING innate immune response to increase infiltration of CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, SETDB1-TRIM28 inhibition leads to micronuclei formation in cytoplasm, a known activator of the cGAS-STING pathway. Thus, SETDB1-TRIM28 inhibition bridges the innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, SETDB1 knockout enhances the antitumor effects of immune checkpoint blockade anti-PD-L1 in an ovarian cancer mouse model in a cGAS dependent manner. Our findings establish SETDB1-TRIM28 complex as a regulator of antitumor immunity and its loss activates cGAS-STING innate immunity to boost antitumor effects of immune checkpoint blockades.

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.

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.
