Targeted erythrophagocyte reprogramming of Kupffer cells halts cancer immunotherapy associated liver toxicity [Multiplexed_CD40]

ABSTRACT: Agonistic CD40 monoclonal antibodies have emerged as promising immunotherapeutic compounds with impressive anti-tumoral effects. However, one of the main limitations of their use in patients is the severe liver necro-hepatitis they can induce. Up to this point, no effective treatment for anti-CD40 liver toxicity that does not hinder anti-tumor efficacy has been found. In the present study , we show that anti-CD40 liver toxicity is dependent on liver macrophages and recruitment of monocytes and neutrophils. We specifically reprogrammed the phenotype of liver macrophages to anti-inflammatory erythrophagocytes by using repeated injection of anti-erythrocyte murine Ter119 (mTer119) antibody. mTer119 administration induced phagocytosis of erythrocytes by liver macrophages and their transformation to Hmoxhigh/Marcohigh/MHC-IIlow erythrophagocytes. mTer119 treatment prevented anti-CD40 induced liver toxic side-effect, with significantly reduced elevation of plasma transaminases level and area of liver necrosis on histology, while preserving the anti-tumoral efficiency of anti-CD40. Our study offers a novel targeted therapeutic approach to treat immune-related liver adverse side effects of immunotherapies.

Erythrophagocytosis drives anti-inflammatory programming of liver macrophages [Agilent]

Project description:Under conditions of erythrolytic stress, which accompanies many disease states, macrophages play key roles in phagocytosing damaged RBCs and preventing the toxic effects of cell-free hemoglobin and heme to maintain homeostasis. Using a genetic mouse model of spherocytosis and single-cell RNA sequencing, we show that erythrolytic stress promotes expansion of a specific macrophage population in the liver (which we named “erythrophagocytes”) expressing high levels of Marco and Hmox1 and low levels of MHC class II related genes with an anti-inflammatory gene expression signature. We confirmed the strong anti-inflammatory function of erythrophagocytes in two models of sterile inflammatory liver disease: anti-CD40 antibody-induced systemic inflammation syndrome with necrotizing hepatitis and diet-induced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The unique anti-inflammatory phenotype and function of erythrophagocytes was reproduced in vitro by heme-exposure of mouse macrophages, yielding a transcriptional profile that segregated heme-polarized from classical M1- and M2-polarized cells. The phenotype of anti-inflammatory erythrophagocytes coincided with NFE2L2/NRF2 driven gene expression and was abolished in Nfe2l2/Nrf2-deficient macrophages. Our findings point to a novel pathway that regulates macrophage functions to link RBC homeostasis and heme metabolism with innate immunity.

The unique anti-inflammatory phenotype and function of erythrophagocytes was reproduced in vitro by heme-exposure of mouse macrophages, yielding a transcriptional profile that segregated heme-polarized from classical M1- and M2-polarized cells. Mapping transposase-accessible chromatin in single cells using sequencing (scATAC-seq) suggested NFE2L2/NRF2 as a critical driver of anti-inflammatory erythrophagocytes in the livers of hemolytic mice and heme-suppression of the inflammatory response was abolished in macrophages from Nfe2l2/Nrf2-deficient animals. Our findings point to a novel pathway that regulates macrophage functions to link RBC homeostasis and heme metabolism with innate immunity.

Resident Kupffer cells and neutrophils drive liver toxicity in cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment, but is often restricted by toxicities. What distinguishes adverse events from concomitant antitumor reactions remains poorly understood. Here, using anti-CD40-treatment in mice as a model of Th1-promoting immunotherapy, we show liver macrophages’ vulnerability to promote local adverse events. Mechanistically, tissue-resident Kupffer cells mediate liver toxicity by sensing lymphocyte-derived IFN-g and producing IL-12. Conversely, dendritic cells are dispensable for toxicity but drive tumor control. Though macrophages, IL-12, and IFN-g are not necessarily toxic themselves, we find that they prompt a neutrophil response that determines the severity of tissue damage. We further show that similar inflammatory pathways characterize adverse events across tissues, following anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 immunotherapies, and in humans. These findings implicate macrophages and neutrophils as mediators and effectors of aberrant inflammation in Th1-promoting immunotherapy, and suggest distinct mechanisms of toxicity and antitumor immunity.

Resident Kupffer cells and neutrophils drive liver toxicity in cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Immunotherapy is revolutionizing cancer treatment but can trigger toxicities that remain poorly understood. Here, by comprehensively analyzing mouse models following anti-CD40 therapy, we found an interdependent induction of the cytokines IFN-g and IL-12, which caused inflammatory pathology in various tumor-free tissues. In the liver, Kupffer cells mediated toxicity by sensing lymphocyte-derived IFN-g and producing IL-12, highlighting the vulnerability of tissue-resident macrophages to promote toxicity when reacting to proinflammatory cues. Conversely, dendritic cells drove tumor control but were dispensable for toxicity. We further show that liver macrophages, IL-12, and IFN-g were not toxic themselves, but prompted a neutrophil response that determined the severity of tissue damage. Similar inflammatory pathways characterized immunotherapy-related adverse events in cancer patients. These findings implicate resident macrophages and neutrophils as mediators and effectors of aberrant inflammation, and suggest distinct cellular mechanisms of toxicity and antitumor immunity.

Enforced expression of miR-342 promotes an inflammatory phenotype in liver metastasis-associated macrophages [RNAseq_1509]

Project description:Liver macrophages are crucial to maintain liver homeostasis. However, upon metastatic seeding, cancer cells co-opt these macrophages to act as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), facilitating tumor growth and invasiveness. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of TAM pro-tumoral functions, thus modulating their expression in liver macrophages may constitute a novel approach for liver metastasis immunotherapy. In this study, we identify a myeloid specific miRNA, miR-342-3p, and investigate its anti-tumoral function in liver macrophages in the context of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). To this aim, we harnessed lentiviral vectors (LV) to infer and modulate miRNA activity in liver macrophages in vitro and in vivo. We found that miR-342-3p was highly active in macrophages in the healthy liver, but downregulated in proximity to CRLM. Rescuing miR-342-3p activity through enforced miRNA expression induced a pro-inflammatory phenotype in liver macrophages, which was associated to reduced CRLM growth. Transcriptomic analysis revealed Slc7a11, a cysteine-glutamate antiporter associated with TAM pro-tumoral functions, as a major miR-342-3p target. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of miR-342-3p in TAM reprogramming to enhance anti-tumoral immunity.
