Project description:Immune checkpoints are often expressed on tumor cells; it remains a prevailing need to identify the mechanisms underlying their regulation and therapeutic benefit. The immune checkpoint molecule B7-H3 is upregulated in many human tumors, including those with high mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC1) activity. Still, its role in tumor immunity and the impact of B7-H3-targeted therapy on the tumor immune microenvironment are largely uncharacterized in mTORC1-hyperactive tumors. Here, we used a syngeneic murine model of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a model of mTORC1 hyperactivity, to assess the mechanisms by which B7-H3 remodels the tumor microenvironment. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data generated from RNA-seq of bulk tumors from subcutaneous B7-H3 knockdown and control TSC2-deficient 105K cells or sorted tumor cells isolated by MACS mouse tumor cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec).

Project description:Immunotherapy aiming at suppressing tumor development by relying on modifying or strengthening the immune system prevails among cancer treatments and points out a new direction for cancer therapy. B7 homolog 3 protein (B7-H3, also known as CD276), a newly identified immunoregulatory protein member of the B7 family, is an attractive and promising target for cancer immunotherapy because it is overexpressed in tumor tissues while showing limited expression in normal tissues and participating in tumor microenvironment (TME) shaping and development. Thus far, numerous B7-H3-based immunotherapy strategies have demonstrated potent antitumor activity and acceptable safety profiles in preclinical models. Herein, we present the expression and biological function of B7-H3 in distinct cancer and normal cells, as well as B7-H3-mediated signal pathways in cancer cells and B7-H3-based tumor immunotherapy strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview that encompasses B7-H3's role in TME to its potential as a target in cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:The immune checkpoint B7-H3 (CD276) is a member of the B7 family that has been studied in the tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy, but its potential role in metabolism remains largely unknown. Here, we show that B7-H3 is highly expressed in mouse and human adipose tissue at steady state, with the highest levels in adipocyte progenitor cells. B7-H3 is rapidly down-regulated upon the initiation of adipocyte differentiation. Combined RNA sequencing and metabolic studies reveal that B7-H3 stimulates glycolytic and mitochondrial activity of adipocyte progenitors. Loss of B7-H3 in progenitors results in impaired oxidative metabolism program and increased lipid accumulation in derived adipocytes. Consistent with these observations, mice knocked out for B7-H3 develop spontaneous obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and adipose tissue inflammation. Our results reveal an unexpected metabolic role for B7-H3 in adipose tissue and open potential new avenues for the treatment of metabolic diseases by targeting the B7-H3 pathway.

Project description:Previous studies have reported that m6a modification promotes tumor immune escape by affecting tumor microenvironment (TME). Due to the complexity of TME, a single biomarker is insufficient to describe the complex biological characteristics of tumor and its microenvironment. Therefore, it is more meaningful to explore a group of effective biomarkers reflecting different characteristics of cancer to evaluate the biological characteristics of solid tumors. Here, the immune gene CD34/CD276 with different m6A peak was obtained by m6A sequencing (MeRIP-seq) of colon cancer (CRC)clinical samples and combined with MsIgDB database, which was used to perform cluster analysis on TCGA-COAD level 3 data. The CD34/CD276 as a molecular marker for CRC prognosis was confirmed by survival analysis and immunohistochemical assay. Further bioinformatics analysis was carried out to analyze the molecular mechanism of CD34/CD276 affecting the TME through m6a-dependent down-regulation and ultimately promoting immune escape of CRC.

Project description:B7-H3 (CD276), a member of the family of immune modulators, orchestrates antitumor immunity. To date, only small-sized studies have examined the association of B7-H3 expression with survival in pancreatic cancer, yielding inconclusive results. We evaluated tumor B7-H3 expression in 150 consecutive patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using immunohistochemistry. B7-H3 expression was positive (≥10% tumor cells) in 99 of 150 (66%) cases of pancreatic cancer. We classified the tumors into four groups depending on B7-H3 expression (negative, low, intermediate, and high) and found that higher B7-H3 expression was independently associated with lower disease-free survival (DFS; for high vs. negative B7-H3 expression: multivariable hazard ratio (HR) = 3.12; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.48?6.15; Ptrend = 0.0026). Furthermore, the association of B7-H3 expression with survival differed according to the pathological stage (p-stage) (Pinteraction = 0.048, between p-stages I?II and III?IV). The association of B7-H3 positivity with lower DFS was stronger in tumors with p-stage I?II (multivariable HR = 3.10, 95% CI = 1.75?5.69; P < 0.0001) than in those with p-stage III?IV (multivariable HR = 1.20, 95% CI = 0.67?2.28; P = 0.55). We demonstrated that tumor high B7-H3 expression is independently associated with poor survival in patients with pancreatic cancer and that this association is stronger in tumors with p-stage I?II than in those with p-stage III?IV. B7-H3 expression may be a useful prognostic biomarker for identifying aggressive early-stage pancreatic cancer.

Project description:B7-H3 (CD276) is an important immune checkpoint member of the B7 and CD28 families. Induced on antigen-presenting cells, B7-H3 plays an important role in the inhibition of T-cell function. Importantly, B7-H3 is highly overexpressed on a wide range of human solid cancers and often correlates with both negative prognosis and poor clinical outcome in patients. Challenges remain to identify the receptor(s) of B7-H3 and thus better elucidate the role of the B7-H3 pathway in immune responses and tumor evasion. With a preferential expression on tumor cells, B7-H3 is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. Based on the clinical success of inhibitory immune checkpoint blockade (CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1), mAbs against B7-H3 appear to be a promising therapeutic strategy worthy of development. An unconventional mAb against B7-H3 with antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity is currently being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial and has shown encouraging preliminary results. Additional therapeutic approaches in targeting B7-H3, such as blocking mAbs, bispecific mAbs, chimeric antigen receptor T cells, small-molecule inhibitors, and combination therapies, should be evaluated, as these technologies have already shown positive results in various cancer settings. A better understanding of the B7-H3 pathway in humans will surely help to further optimize associated cancer immunotherapies. Clin Cancer Res; 22(14); 3425-31. ©2016 AACR.
