Targeting Bhlhe22-dependent MDSCs infiltration relieves the immunosuppressive bone TME and reduces the ICT resistance in bone metastatic Pca

ABSTRACT: How to identify subgroups of PCa patients for immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) remains not fully understood. Basic helix-loop-helix family member e22 (Bhlhe22) is upregulated in bone metastatic PCa and drives an immunosuppressive bone TME. Tumoral Bhlhe22 mediates the high expression of colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2), which results in the infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and prolonged immunocompromised T cell status. Here, we reveal the immunosuppressive mechanism of tumoral Bhlhe22 and provide a prospective ICT combination therapeutic for Bhlhe22+ PCa patients.

Project description:Using both global and conditional knockout mice, we demonstrated that the transcription factor Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Family Member E40 (BHLHE40/DEC1) is required in T cells for rejection of mouse syngeneic tumors upon immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) with anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) we profiled intratumoral CD45+ cells from syngeneic mouse sarcomas that (a) grow progressively with control treatment in either Bhlhe40+/+ or Bhlhe40-/- tumor-bearing mice, (b) reject following anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 ICT in Bhlhe40+/+ tumor-bearing mice, or (c) grow progressively following anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 in Bhlhe40-/- mice. We performed two separate scRNAseq experiments with the same conditions but harvested tumors on either day 9 post-tumor transplant or day 11 post-tumor transplant. The groups were as follows: (1) Control mAb Bhlhe40+/+, (2) Control mAb Bhlhe40-/-, (3) anti-PD-1 Bhlhe40+/+, (4) anti-PD-1 Bhlhe40-/-, (5) anti-CTLA-4 Bhlhe40+/+, and (6) anti-CTLA-4 Bhlhe40-/-. scRNAseq of intratumoral immune cells in BHLHE40-deficient mice revealed differential ICT-induced immune cell remodeling. These BHLHE40-dependent gene expression alterations were associated with altered metabolism, NF-kB signaling, and IFN- response in subpopulations of intratumoral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Intratumoral T cells from tumor-bearing Bhlhe40-/- mice also had higher transcript expression of the inhibitory receptor gene Tigit, along with altered transcript expression of chemokine/chemokine receptor granzyme family members. Bhlhe40-/- CD4+ and CD8+ T cells also had reduced ICT-driven IFN- production. Furthermore, BHLHE40 was required for ICT-induced remodeling of macrophages from a CX3CR1+ CD206+ subpopulation to an iNOS+ subpopulation. While anti-PD-1 or anti-CTLA-4 ICT in tumor-bearing Bhlhe40-/- mice led to tumor outgrowth—several BHLHE40-dependent changes were specific to the ICT treatment that was administered.
