Systematic dissection of tumor-normal single-cell ecosystems across a thousand tumors of 30 cancer types

ABSTRACT: The complexity of the tumor microenvironment poses significant challenges in cancer therapy. Here, to comprehensively investigate the tumor-normal ecosystems, we perform an integrative analysis of 4.9 million single-cell transcriptomes from 1,070 tumor and 493 normal samples in combination with pan-cancer 137 spatial transcriptomics, 8,887 TCGA, and 1,261 checkpoint inhibitor-treated bulk tumors. We define a myriad of cell states constituting the tumor-normal ecosystems and also identify hallmark gene signatures across different cell types and organs. Our atlas characterizes distinctions between inflammatory fibroblasts marked by AKR1C1 or WNT5A in terms of cellular interactions and spatial co-localization patterns. Co-occurrence analysis reveals interferon-enriched community states including tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) components, which exhibit differential rewiring between tumor, adjacent normal, and healthy normal tissues. The favorable response of interferon-enriched community states to immunotherapy is validated using immunotherapy-treated cancers (n=1,261) including our lung cancer cohort (n=497). Deconvolution of spatial transcriptomes discriminates TLS-enriched from non-enriched cell types among immunotherapy-favorable components. Our systematic dissection of tumor-normal ecosystems provides a deeper understanding of inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity.

Tertiary lymphoid structures generate and propagate anti-tumor antibody-producing plasma cells in renal cell cancer

Project description:The presence of intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) is associated with positive clinical outcomes and responses to immunotherapy in cancer. Here, we used spatial transcriptomics to examine the nature of B cell responses within TLS in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). B cells were enriched in TLS, and therein, we could identify all B cell maturation stages toward plasma cell (PC) formation. B cell repertoire analysis revealed clonal diversification, selection, expansion in TLS, and the presence of fully mature clonotypes at distance. In TLS+ tumors, IgG- and IgA-producing PCs disseminated into the tumor beds along fibroblastic tracks. TLS+ tumors exhibited high frequencies of IgG-producing PCs and IgG-stained and apoptotic malignant cells, suggestive of anti-tumor effector activity. Therapeutic responses and progression-free survival correlated with IgG-stained tumor cells in RCC patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Thus, intratumoral TLS sustains B cell maturation and antibody production that is associated with response to immunotherapy, potentially via direct anti-tumor effects.

Late-stage tertiary lymphoid structures in hepatocellular carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are associated with improved response in solid tumors treated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), but understanding of their clinical significance and the circumstances of their resolution remains incomplete. Here, we found that in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy, high intratumoral TLS density at the time of surgery is associated with pathologic response and improved relapse free survival. In areas of tumor regression, we further identified a non-canonical involuted morphology of TLS marked by dispersion of the B cell follicle, persistence of a T cell zone enriched for T cell-mature dendritic cell interactions, and increased expression of T cell memory markers. Collectively, these data suggest that TLS may serve be both a prognostic and predictive marker of response to immunotherapy in HCC and suggest a functional role for late-stage TLS T cell memory formation after elimination of viable tumor.

Tumoral and stromal hMENA isoforms influence tertiary lymphoid structure localization and predict response to immunocheckpoint blockade in lung cancer patients

Project description:The advent of immunotherapy in the clinical practice of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have highlighted the impact of the tumor immune microenvironment in the control of the tumor progression, as well as in the response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Tertiary Lymphoid Structures (TLS), determinants of antitumor immunity, are associated with a favorable clinical outcome in NSCLC patients and with the effectiveness of ICB in several tumors. The actin regulatory protein hMENA undergoes tissue-specific splicing, with tumors expressing hMENA11ahigh/ stromal fibronectin (FN1)low related to early N0 NSCLC patients with a favorable prognosis. hMENA/hMENA∆v6 is overexpressed in pro-tumoral CAFs related to the subtype of immunosuppressive ECM-my-CAF Herein, by analyzing the pattern of hMENA isoform expression in tumor cells and CAFs, we highlighted the role of hMENA as a crucial factor in the communication among tumor cells CAFs, T and B cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that in NSCLC cell lines hMENA11a increases the expression of the TLS regulator LTβR, reduces the FN1 expression and favors CXCL13 production by tissue resident T cells. Conversely in CAFs, hMENA/hMENAΔv6 inhibits the NF-kB pathway downstream to LTβR and the secretion of CXCL13, crucial in TLS formation. Of clinical relevance, our experimental data support our finding in primary tumors that TLS localized within the tumor area (TLS-IT) are predictive of a longer disease-free survival in N0 NSCLC patients and are accompanied by the maturation of B cells in the tumor tissue. TLS-IT associate with paucity of hMENA positive CAFs, low stromal FN1 and high hMENA11a tumor cell expression. To translate these results in a clinical setting of ICB treated patients, we identified a signature based on the pattern of hMENA isoforms, FN1 and LTβR expression that may discriminate NSCLC patients responding or not-responding to ICB.

CDK4/6i enhances the antitumor effect of PD1 antibody by promoting TLS formation in ovarian cancer

Project description:Ovarian cancer is insensitive to immunotherapy and has a high mortality rate. CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) regulate the tumor microenvironment and play an antitumor role. Our previous research demonstrated that lymphocyte aggregation (tertiary lymphoid structures, TLS) was observed after CDK4/6i treatment. This may explain the synergistic action of CDK4/6i with the anti-PD1 antibody. However, the key mechanism by which CDK4/6i promotes TLS formation has not been elucidated. We examine the link between TLS and prognosis. Animal models and high-throughput sequencing were used to explore the potential mechanism by which CDK4/6i promotes TLS formation. Our results showed the presence of TLSs was associated with a favorable prognosis for ovarian cancer. CDK4/6i promoted TLS formation and enhanced the immunotherapeutic effect of the anti-PD1 antibody. The potential mechanism of CDK4/6i affecting the formation of TLS may be through modulating SCD1 and its regulatory molecules ATF3 and CCL4. Our findings provide a theoretical basis for the application of CDK4/6i in ovarian cancer.

Trigger inducible tertiary lymphoid structure formation using covalent organic frameworks for cancer immunotherapy

Project description:The discovery of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within the tumor tissues provides a promising avenue to promote the response rate of cancer immunotherapy. Yet, the lack of effective strategies to promote TLS formation poses a substantial obstacle. Thus, the exploration of potential inducers for TLS formation is of great interest but remains challenging. Here, inspired by the mechanism of artificially cultivated pearls, a covalent organic frameworks (COFs) was employed to promote the formation of TLS. Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that this was achieved by promoting the cytokine hypersecretion to facilitate the maturation, proliferation, and migration of T and B cells, critical for trigger TLS formation. Furthermore, the high efficacy of COF-mediated phototherapy in inducing TLS formation was validated in both the MC38 and 4MOSC1 tumor models. Moreover, an efficient synergism between COF-mediated phototherapy and αCTLA-4 was observed, which was able to effectively eradicate both primary and distant tumors, and inhibit tumor recurrence. This study underscores a new approach of boosting cancer immunotherapy through COF triggered TLS formation.

Deciphering functional tumor-immune crosstalk through highly multiplexed imaging and deep visual proteomics

Project description:Deciphering the intricate tumor-immune interactions within the microenvironment is crucial for advancing cancer immunotherapy. Here, we introduced mipDVP, an advanced approach integrating highly multiplexed imaging, single-cell laser microdissection, and sensitive mass spectrometry to spatially profile the proteomes of distinct cell populations in a human colorectal and tonsil cancer with high sensitivity. In a colorectal tumor—a representative cold tumor—we uncovered spatial compartmentalization of an immunosuppressive macrophage barrier that potentially impedes T cell infiltration. Spatial proteomic analysis revealed distinct functional states of T cells in different tumor compartments. In a tonsil cancer sample—a hot tumor—we identified significant proteomic heterogeneity among cells influenced by proximity to cytotoxic T cell subtypes. T cells in the tumor parenchyma exhibited metabolic adaptations to hypoxic regions. Our spatially resolved, highly multiplexed strategy deciphers the complex cellular interplay within the tumor microenvironment, offering valuable insights for identifying immunotherapy targets and predictive signatures.

Tertiary Lymphoid Structure Raises Survival and Immunotherapy in HPV- HNSCC

Project description:The presence of B cells in tumors have been recently reported to predict the better prognosis of patients with cancer. B cells were found primarily in so-called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in tumor. TLSs are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that form at sites of micro-secondary lymphoid organs, including a B cell follicle with a network of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) surrounded by T cell zone composed of CD4+ T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and CD8+ T cells and high endothelial venules (HEVs). The presence of TLS is associated with positive outcomes in several human malignancie and More importantly, TLSs enriched in B cells have been proven beneficial for response to ICB in multiple types of cancer. Here, we establish tobacco-associated HNSCC mouse model with TLS enrichment by overexpression of LIGHT in tumor to evaluate the TLS influence in HPV- HNSCC and immunotherapy in HPV- HNSCC.

The activity of tertiary lymphoid structures in high grade serous ovarian cancer is governed by site, stroma, and cellular interactions

Project description:Most high grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOC) originate in the fallopian tube but spread to the ovary and peritoneal cavity, highlighting the need to understand antitumor immunity across HGSOC sites. Using spatial analyses, we discover that tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) within ovarian tumors are less developed compared with TLS in fallopian tube or omental tumors. We reveal transcriptional differences across a spectrum of lymphoid structures, demonstrating that immune cell activity increases when residing in more developed TLS and produce a prognostic, spatially derived TLS signature from HGSOC tumors. We interrogate TLS-adjacent stroma and assess how normal mesenchymal stem cells MSCs (nMSCs) may support B cell function and TLS, contrary to cancer-educated MSCs (CA-MSCs) which negate the prognostic benefit of our TLS signature, suggesting that pro-tumorigenic stroma could limit TLS formation.

Oxygen regulation of immunogenicity in primary human glioma cells

Project description:Dendritic Cell (DC) vaccination is a powerful approach for cancer immunotherapy that has recently obtained regulatory approval, and tumor lysate-pulsed DC vaccines are being tested in clinical trials. Tumor cell lysates (TLs) are often generated from cells cultured in atmospheric oxygen (~20% O2), which is roughly four-fold higher than that of the tumor in situ. We analyzed the expression patterns of glioma cells cultured in 5% Oxygen, 20% Oxygen and the primary tumors which the cell cultures were derived. Total RNA from primary resected glioma tumors or tumor cells cultured in in either 5% oxygen or 20% oxygen
