Single cell RNA sequencing reveals distinct T cell populations in immune-related adverse events of checkpoint inhibitors

ABSTRACT: PD-1 is an essential inhibitory receptor in T cells, and antibodies that block its interaction with its ligands can augment anti-tumor immune responses. The clinical potential of these agents is limited by the fact that approximately half of all patients who receive anti-PD-1 treatment subsequently develop immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs). To generate insights into the cellular and molecular changes that occur during anti-PD-1 treatment, and to discover predictive biomarkers of irAEs, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of circulating T cells collected from cancer patients who did and did not develop irAEs following PD-1 blockade. Using the K-nearest-neighbor-based network graph drawing layout, we show the involvement of unique gene expression signatures and subpopulations of T cells. We identified that at baseline, patients with arthritis had significantly less cells with features of CD8 TCM cells, patients with pneumonitis had more CD4 TH2 cells, and patients with thyroiditis had more CD4 TH17 cells, when compared to patients who did not develop irAEs. Moreover, T cell receptor sequencing revealed distinctive clonal expansion, and suggested involvement of organ-specific and potentially pathogenic T cell clones among patients with irAEs. Altogether, these data support the hypothesis that different populations of T cells are associated with different irAEs and that quantification and characterization of these populations of T cells pre-treatment could serve as a toxicity-specific, predictive biomarker.

10X single-cell RNA-seq profiling of T cells from the pancreas, pancreatic lymph nodes, and blood of NOD mice with spontaneous or anti-PD-1-induced Type 1 Diabetes

Project description:Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are a notable complication of PD-1 cancer immunotherapy. A better understanding of how these iatrogenic diseases compare to naturally arising autoimmune diseases is needed for treatment and monitoring of irAEs. We identified differences in anti-PD-1-induced Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and spontaneous T1D in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice by performing single-cell RNA-seq and TCR-seq on T cells from the pancreas, pancreas-draining lymph node (pLN), and blood of mice with PD-1-induced T1D or spontaneous T1D. In the pancreas, anti-PD-1 resulted in expansion of terminally-exhausted/effector-like CD8+ T cells, an increase in T-bethi CD4+FoxP3- T cells, and a decrease in memory CD4+FoxP3- and CD8+ T cells in contrast to spontaneous T1D. Notably, anti-PD-1 caused increased TCR sharing between the pancreas and the periphery. Moreover, T cells in the blood of anti-PD-1-treated mice expressed markers that differed from spontaneous T1D, suggesting that the blood may provide a window to monitor irAEs rather than relying exclusively on the autoimmune target organ.

Identification of cathepsin L as an inter-organ target to mitigate cachexia while enhancing tumor suppression by anti-PD-L1

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs) due to an overly activated immune system, despite their anti-cancer effects. Here, we observe that ICI treatment is associated with body weight loss in cancer patients. Similarly, anti-PD-L1 exacerbates muscle wasting in cancer cachexia (CAC) mice, despite its tumor suppressive effects, suggesting muscle atrophy as a potential irAE. Notably, CD8+ T cells accumulate in the skeletal muscle of CAC mice, which is amplified by anti-PD-L1. These CD8+ T cells directly promote muscle wasting, but their depletion effectively prevents cachectic features in CAC mice. We identify cathepsin L (CTSL) as an inter-organ target capable of suppressing both cancer and muscle wasting, particularly that driven by CD8+ T cells. Indeed, CTSL blockade effectively mitigates muscle wasting and further enhances the anti-tumor activity of anti-PD-L1. Thus, CTSL represents a dual therapeutic target for both cancer and cachexia, offering the potential to prevent muscle-related irAE when combined with ICIs.

Liu2019 - Logistic Regression models to predict intrinsic resistance to anti-PD1 ICB in Ipilimumab treated and Ipilimumab naive patients with metastatic melanoma.

Project description:In this comprehensive study, the authors have developed concise models integrating clinical, genomic and transcriptomic features to predict intrinsic resistance to anti-PD1 Immune Checkpoint Blockade (ICB) treatment in individual tumors. It's important to note that their validation was performed in smaller, independent cohorts, constrained by data availability. The authors have developed two Logistic Regression based models for Ipilimumab treated and Ipilimumab naive patients with metastatic melanoma. The main predictive features for the Ipilimumab treated patients are MHC-II HLA, LDH at treatment initiation and the presence of lymph node metastases (LN met), chosen using forward selection methodology. The main predictive features for the Ipilimumab naive patients are tumor heterogeneity, tumor ploidy and tumor purity, chosen using forward selection methodology. Please note that in these models, the output ‘1’ means progressive disease (PD) and ‘0’ means non-PD. The original GitHub repository can be accessed at https://github.com/vanallenlab/schadendorf-pd1

Pembrolizumab and decitabine for refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Background: The powerful ‘graft versus leukemia’ effect thought partly responsible for the therapeutic effect of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) provides rationale for investigation of immune-based therapies in this high-risk blood cancer. There is considerable preclinical evidence for potential synergy between PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade and the hypomethylating agents already commonly used for this disease. Methods: We report here the results of 17 H-0026 (PD- AML, NCT02996474), an investigator sponsored, single- institution, single-arm open-label 10-subject pilot study to test the feasibility of the first-in-human combination of pembrolizumab and decitabine in adult patients with refractory or relapsed AML (R-AML). Results: In this cohort of previously treated patients, this novel combination of anti-PD-1 and hypomethylating therapy was feasible and associated with a best response of stable disease or better in 6 of 10 patients. Considerable immunological changes were identified using T cell receptor β sequencing as well as single-cell immunophenotypic and RNA expression analyses on sorted CD3+ T cells in patients who developed immune- related adverse events (irAEs) during treatment. Clonal T cell expansions occurred at irAE onset; single-cell sequencing demonstrated that these expanded clones were predominately CD8+ effector memory T cells with high cell surface PD-1 expression and transcriptional profiles indicative of activation and cytotoxicity. In contrast, no such distinctive immune changes were detectable in those experiencing a measurable antileukemic response during treatment. Conclusion: Addition of pembrolizumab to 10-day decitabine therapy was clinically feasible in patients with R-AML, with immunological changes from PD-1 blockade observed in patients experiencing irAEs.

Phase 1 trial of durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) in combination with lenalidomide in relapsed/refractory cutaneous T cell lymphoma

Project description:T cells in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) are functionally exhausted, expressing immune inhibitory molecules such as PD1 and PD-L1. Durvalumab selectively targets PD-L1 on exhausted T cells and distinct cells within the CTCL tumor microenvironment (TME) and may restore an anti-tumor immune response. The oral immunomodulator lenalidomide, which has shown activity in CTCL, may enhance immune checkpoint blockade by durvalumab. We initiated a phase 1/2 clinical trial of lenalidomide and durvalumab in patients with refractory/advanced CTCL (NCT03011814). Primary objectives were to assess safety and tolerability and identify the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose. Secondary and tertiary objectives were to investigate efficacy and the effects on the TME. Thirteen patients enrolled in sequential cohorts received fixed dose durvalumab and dose escalation of lenalidomide. Thirteen patients were evaluable for toxicities and 12 for response in phase 1. No serious adverse events (AEs) or dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed during cycles 1-3 (DLT evaluation period). The most frequent AEs were tumor flare, fatigue, neutropenia and leukopenia. Three patients developed grade 1/2 autoimmune thyroiditis that resolved with treatment. Median cycles of treatment were 11 (range, 3-42+). Median duration of response was 25.5 (range 8-36.5) months. Anti-PD-L1/lenalidomide showed clinical activity; there were 7 partial responses, 4 stable disease and 1 progressive disease. Adaptive and innate immune signatures potentially predictive of response seen in gene expression profiling of serial skin samples were downregulation of TNF-alpha signaling via NFκB, IFN-gamma, and PI3-AKT-mTOR signaling pathways in responders vs up-regulation of MYC targets and pro-inflammatory pathways in non-responders. Profiling of immune cell compositions revealed changes in individual immune cell clusters based on treatment status and response.

Multiomics analysis of immune-related adverse events in melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a standard-of-care for the treatment of advanced melanoma, but their use is limited by immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Proteomic analysis and multiplex cytokine/chemokine assay from serum at baseline and at irAEs onset in 82 patients indicated aberrant T-cell activity with differential expression of Type I and III immune signatures. This was in line with an increase in the proportions of monocytes and decrease of IL-17A producing CD4+ T-cells in the peripheral blood in single cell RNA sequencing. Multiplex immunohistochemistry on ICI-induced skin rash and inflamed colon showed increase in the proportion of CD4+ T-cells with IL-17A expression. Anti-IL17A antagonistic mAbs were administered in two patients with severe myocarditis, colitis and skin rash with resolution of the irAE. This study demonstrates the potential role of Type III CD4+ T-cells in the irAEs development and provides proof-of-principle evidence to support a clinical trial examining anti-IL17A in their management.

Immune checkpoint blockade unleashes aberrant immune responses against the microbiota

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4 are essential components of the cancer therapeutic armamentarium. The remarkable responses seen with ICIs however, are also accompanied by immune-related adverse events (irAEs). These inflammatory side-effects impact virtually all organ systems, with the most common being the skin and gastrointestinal tract. Here, we establish a mouse model of commensal bacteria-driven skin irAEs and demonstrate that immune checkpoint blockade aberrantly unleashes commensal-specific T cell responses. Such responses caused widespread immune cell infiltration and inflammation throughout the skin, recapitulating the skin irAEs seen in patients treated with ICIs. This skin inflammation was dependent on production of the cytokine IL-17 by commensal-specific T cells, which in turn induced hyperactive responses from macrophages and myeloid cells. Importantly, these responses had long-term consequences, with commensal-specific T cells elicited in the context of ICIs being highly sensitive to re-activation by commensals months later. Together, our results establish a mouse model of skin irAEs and show that immune checkpoint blockade can potentiate aberrant immunity to skin commensals with long-lasting consequences.

Quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis reveals involvement of PD-1 in multiple T cell functions

Project description:The programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) pathway is a critical inhibitory checkpoint for T cells, and antibodies blocking PD-1 promote immune-mediated identification and clearance of malignant cells. Despite the success of these antibodies, the majority of patients do not respond to PD-1 blockade and many experience immune-related adverse events. As such, there is an urgent need to better understand PD-1 signaling, not just in order to explain the mechanism behind the unfavorable responses, but also to develop next-generation therapeutics. We performed global quantitative phosphoproteomic interrogation of PD-1 signaling in human T cells and by complementing our analysis with functional validation assays in primary human cells. To investigate the T cell phosphoproteome, Jurkat cells were treated with either a) anti human CD3 antibody, b) anti human CD3 antibody together with recombinant human PD-L2-Fc or c) IgG1 isotype control antibody for 30 seconds, 5 minutes or 15 minutes. The global and phosphoproteome was quantified using an isobaric labeling approach (e.g. TMT) in combination with TiO2 enrichment and three different pY specific antibodies.
