STING Agonism Reprograms Tumor-associated Macrophages and Overcomes Resistance to PARP inhibition in BRCA1-deficient Models of Breast Cancer

ABSTRACT: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have drastically changed the treatment landscape of advanced ovarian tumors with BRCA mutations. However, the impact of this class of inhibitors in patients with advanced BRCA-mutant breast cancer is relatively modest. Using a syngeneic genetically-engineered mouse model of breast tumor driven by Brca1 deficiency, we show that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) blunt PARPi efficacy both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, BRCA1-deficient breast tumor cells induce pro-tumor polarization of TAMs, which in turn suppress PARPi-elicited DNA damage in tumor cells, leading to reduced production of dsDNA fragments and synthetic lethality, hence impairing STING-dependent anti-tumor immunity. STING agonists reprogram M2-like pro-tumor macrophages into an M1-like anti-tumor state in a macrophage STING-dependent manner. Systemic administration of a STING agonist breaches multiple layers of tumor cell-mediated suppression of immune cells, and synergizes with PARPi to suppress tumor growth. The therapeutic benefits of this combination require host STING and are mediated by a type I IFN response and CD8+ T cells, but do not rely on tumor cell-intrinsic STING. Our data illustrate the importance of targeting innate immune suppression to facilitate PARPi-mediated engagement of anti-tumor immunity in breast cancer.

Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor suppresses STING-mediated Type I IFN expression in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive types of cancer. Despite decades of intense investigation, treatment options remain limited and rapid recurrence with distant metastases remains a significant challenge in the clinic. Cancer cell-intrinsic production of cytokines such as type I interferons (IFN-I) is a known potent modulator of response to therapy in many cancers, including TNBC, and can influence therapeutic outcome. Here, we report that in TNBC systems the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) suppresses IFN-I expression via inhibition of Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING), a key mediator of interferon production. Intratumoral STING activity is essential in mediating the efficacy of PARP inhibitors (PARPi) which are used in the treatment of cancers harboring BRCA-1 deficiency. We find that, in TNBC cells, PARPi treatment activates AhR in a BRCA1 deficiency-dependent manner, thus suggesting the presence of a negative feedback loop aimed at modulating PARPi efficacy. Importantly, our results indicate the combined inhibition of PARP and AhR is superior in elevating IFN-I expression as compared to PARPi-alone. Thus, AhR inhibition may allow for enhanced IFN-I production upon PARPi in BRCA1-deficient breast cancers, most of which are of TNBC origin, and may represent a therapeutically viable strategy to enhance PARPi efficacy.

A site-specific analysis of the ADP-Ribosylome unveils Homogeneous Serine ADP-Ribosylation across wild-type and BRCA-mutant Breast Cancer cell lines

Project description:ADP-ribosylation (ADPr) signaling plays a crucial role in the DNA damage response. Inhibitors against the main enzyme catalyzing ADPr after DNA damage – PARP1 – are used as targeted therapies against breast cancers with BRCA1/2 mutations. However, development of resistance to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) is a major obstacle in treating patients. To better understand the role of ADPr in PARPi sensitivity, we used Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) for systems level analysis of the ADP-ribosylome in six breast cancer cell lines with different PARPi sensitivities. We identified 1632 sites on 777 proteins, primarily on serine residues, with a high site overlap of DNA damage-related proteins across all cell lines, demonstrating high conservation in ADPr signaling after DNA damage. We furthermore observed site-specific differences in ADPr intensities in PARPi-sensitive BRCA mutants, and unique ADPr sites in PARPi-resistant BRCA mutant cells, which we notably show to have low PARG levels and longer PARP1 ADPr chains.

Single cell RNA sequence reveals C5aR1 inhibition selectively targets pro-tumorigenic M2 macrophages reversing PARP inhibitor resistance

Project description:Although Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have been approved in multiple diseases, including BRCA1/2 mutant breast cancer, responses are usually transient thus requiring the development of combination therapies that can capitalize on PARPi activity. We thus explored mechanisms underlying sensitivity and resistance to PARPi using two intrinsically sensitive and resistant syngeneic murine breast cancer models. Our data indicate that the PARPi sensitive tumor model has a high ratio of M1 anti-tumor/M2 pro-tumor macrophages with the M1/M2 ratio being increased by PARPi. In contrast the PARPi resistant tumor model had very low levels of M1 macrophages and thus a low M1/M2 ratio that was not altered by PARPi. Our data indicate that co-transplantation of the PARPi sensitive and the PARPi resistant tumor results in accumulation of M2 macrophages in the sensitive tumor, rendering the sensitive tumor PARPi resistant. C5aR1 and RPS19/C5aR1 signaling is selectively elevated in the M2 macrophages that are associated with PARPi resistance. Strikingly C5aR1 targeting decreased M2 macrophages, while sparing M1 macrophages rendering PARPi resistant tumors sensitive to PARPi. Consistent with the murine data, human breast cancers with high C5aR1 levels have a poor response to immune checkpoint blockade. Thus targeting C5aR1 may represent a therapeutic approach to selectively deplete M2 macropahges and engender sensitivity to PARPi and potentially other therapeutic approaches.

Genomic profiling of Estrogen receptor positive BRCA1-mutated breast cancer [human 3.5k BAC array]

Project description:Purpose: As estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers arises at an older age with less aggressive tumor characteristics than ER negative BRCA1 mutated breast cancer, it has been suggested that these tumors are ?sporadic? and not BRCA1-driven. With the introduction of targeted treatments specific for tumors with a non-functioning BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, the question whether the BRCA genes are impaired in the tumor, is highly relevant. Therefore, we performed genomic profiling of BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Experimental design: Genomic profiling, BRCA1 promoter methylation assessment, and loss of heterozygosity analysis were done on 16 BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Results were compared with 57 BRCA1-mutated ER- tumors, 36 BRCA2-mutated ER+ associated tumors, and 182 sporadic ER+ tumors [GSE9021, GSE9114, GSE16511, GSE50407]. Results: The genomic profile of BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors was different from BRCA1-mutated ER- breast tumors, but highly similar to BRCA2-mutated ER+ tumors. In 83% of the BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors, loss of the wildtype BRCA1 allele was observed. In addition, clinico-pathological variables in BRCA1-mutated ER+ cancer were also more similar to BRCA2-mutated ER+ and sporadic ER+ breast cancer than to BRCA1 mutated ER- cancers. Conclusions: As BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors show a BRCAness copy number profile and LOH, it is likely that the loss of a functional BRCA1 protein plays a role in tumorigenesis in BRCA1-mutated ER+ tumors. Therefore, we hypothesize that these tumors are sensitive to drugs targeting the BRCA1 gene defect, providing new targeted treatment modalities for advanced BRCA-deficient, ER-positive breast cancer.

BRCAness and Merkel cell carcinoma: Comprehensive molecular study of 35 cases and meta-analysis of the literature

Project description:Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine cancer. Management of advanced MCC is mainly based on immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The high failure rate (up to 75%) warrants investigation of new therapeutic targets. The recent identification of BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutations in some MCC raises the issue of the use of poly-(ADP-Ribose)-polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) in selected advanced cases. The main objective of our study is to determine the accurate frequency of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants. We studied a novel series of 35 MCC and performed a meta-analysis of BRCA1/2 variants of published cases in the literature. In our series, we detected only one BRCA2 pathogenic variant (nonsense mutation; ENIGMA class 5) and one BRCA2 variant of unknown significance (VUS). The low frequency of BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in our series of MCC (3%) was confirmed by the meta-analysis of BRCA1/2 variants of the literature. Among the 204 MCC studied for molecular alterations of BRCA1/2, only two BRCA1 pathogenic nonsense mutations were identified (1%), while the vast majority of BRCA1/2 variants were missense mutations classified as VUS. BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants are uncommon in MCC. However, in BRCA-mutated-MCC, PARPi might be a valuable therapeutic option requiring validation by clinical trials.

Immunotherapy Utilizing NK cells and ADCC Mediating Agents with Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) Inhibition

Project description:Background: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) prevent single-stranded DNA repair. Olaparib is a PARPi approved for the treatment of BRCA mutant ovarian and breast carcinoma. Emerging clinical data suggest a benefit of combining olaparib with immunotherapy in prostate cancer patients both with and without somatic BRCA mutations. Methods: We examined if olaparib, when combined with IgG1 antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)-mediating monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) cetuximab (anti-EGFR), or avelumab (anti-PD-L1), would increase tumor cell sensitivity to killing by natural killer (NK) cells independently of BRCA status or mAb target upregulation. BRCA mutant and BRCA wildtype (WT) prostate carcinoma cell lines were pretreated with olaparib and then exposed to NK cells in the presence or absence of cetuximab or avelumab. Results: NK-mediated killing was significantly increased in both cell lines and was further increased using the ADCC-mediating mAbs. Pre-exposure of NK cells to recombinant IL-15/IL-15RA further increased the lysis of olaparib treated tumor cells. In addition, olaparib treated tumor cells were killed to a significantly greater degree by engineered high-affinity NK cells (haNK). We show here for the first time that (a) olaparib significantly increased tumor cell sensitivity to NK killing and ADCC in both BRCA WT and BRCA mutant prostate carcinoma cells, independent of PD-L1 or EGFR modulation; (b) mechanistically, treatment with olaparib upregulated death receptor TRAIL-R2, and (c) olaparib significantly enhanced NK killing of additional tumor types, including breast, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and chordoma. Conclusions: These studies support the combined use of NK- and ADCC-mediating agents with correctly timed PARP inhibition.

Cell-autonomous Inflammation of BRCA1-deficient Ovarian Cancers Drives Intrinsic Immunoreactivity and Immune Resistance through STING and VEGF

Project description:BRCA1 loss leads to tumor cell transcriptional reprogramming, resulting in a DNA damage-driven, mandatory cell-autonomous type I IFN inflammatory activation mediated by STING and TREX1/2. PARP inhibition augmented this immunoreactivity, creating contextual lethality to dual immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in vivo. BRCA1-deficient tumor can escape T-cell inflammation through targeted deletion or methylation of the DNA sensing/IFN pathway genes, such as STING, IFNB1 or the chemokine CCL5. Alternatively, BRCA-mutated carcinomas retaining immunoreactivity upregulate their VEGF-A expression driven by STING, which mediates immune resistance and tumor progression. STING elimination attenuated tumor growth and abrogated therapeutic resistance to dual ICB. VEGF-A blockade synergized with immune checkpoint blockade and/or PARP inhibition to control outgrowth of Brca1-/- ovarian tumors, offering opportunities for rational combination therapy of cancers with homologous recombination repair deficiency (HRD).

A genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies ZNF251 critical for resistance to PARP inhibitors

Project description:The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) inhibitors are an exciting new class of agents that have shown efficacy in treating various cancers, especially these harboring BRCA1/2 mutations. The cancer associated BRCA1/2 mutations disrupt DNA double strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR). PARP inhibitors (PARPi) have been applied to trigger synthetic lethality in BRCA1/2-mutated cancer cells by promoting accumulation of toxic DSBs. Unfortunately, PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance is common and develops through multiple mechanisms. Restoration of HR and/or stabilizing replication forks are two major mechanisms of PARPi resistance in BRCA1/2-mutated cells. To further understand the mechanisms of drug resistance to PARPi, we undertook an unbiased approach with a CRISPR-pooled library to screen new genes whose loss-of-function confers resistance to PARPi olaparib. We identified ZNF251, a transcription factor, and confirmed its loss-of-function led to the PARPi resistance in BRCA1-mutated breast and ovarian cancer lines. Elevated activities of both HR and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair were detected in cancer cells harboring BRCA1 mutation and ZNF251 deletion (BRCA1mut+ZNF251del) and were associated with enhanced expression of RAD51 and Ku70/Ku80, respectively. Furthermore, we showed that DNA-PKcs inhibitor restored sensitivity of BRCA1mut+ZNF251del cells to PARPi. Taken together, our study identified a novel gene whose loss of function conferred resistance to PARPi, providing new insight into signaling pathways that contribute to acquired resistance in BRCA1-mutated breast and ovarian cancers.

53BP1 loss elicits cGAS-STING-dependent antitumor immunity in ovarian and pancreatic cancer

Project description:53BP1 nucleates the anti-end resection machinery at DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), thereby countering BRCA1 activity. Loss of 53BP1 leads to DNA end processing and homologous recombination (HR) in BRCA1-deficient cells. Consequently, BRCA1-mutant tumors, typically sensitive to PARP inhibitors (PARPi), become resistant in the absence of 53BP1. Here, we demonstrate that the 'leaky' DNA end resection in the absence of 53BP1 results in increased micronuclei and cytoplasmic dsDNA, leading to activation of the cGAS-STING pathway and pro-inflammatory signaling. This enhances CD8+ T cell infiltration, activates macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells, and impedes tumor growth. Loss of 53BP1 correlates with a response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and improved overall survival. Immunohistochemical assessment of 53BP1 in two malignancies, high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC)s and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)s, which are refractory to ICBs, revealed that lower 53BP1 levels correlated with an increased adaptive and innate immune response. Finally, BRCA1-deficient tumors that develop resistance to PARPi due to the loss of 53BP1 are susceptible to ICB. Therefore, we conclude that 53BP1 is critical for tumor immunogenicity and underpins the response to ICB. Our results support including 53BP1 expression as an exploratory biomarker in ICB trials for malignancies typically refractory to immunotherapy.
