The single cell transcriptional landscape of esophageal adenocarcinoma and its modulation by neoadjuvant chemotherapy

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint blockade has recently proven effective in a subset of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) but little is known regarding the EAC immune microenvironment. We determined the single cell transcriptional profile of EAC in patients who were treatment naive or had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Analysis of 52,387 cells revealed 10 major cell subsets of tumor, immune and stromal cells. Prior to chemotherapy tumors were characterised by infiltration with effector T cells showing markers of exhaustion together with large T regulatory cell infiltrates. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells were markedly expanded whilst two dominant cancer-associated fibroblast populations were observed. Pathological remission following chemotherapy was associated with broad reversal of immune abnormalities together with an increase in endothelial and myofibroblast populations although a chemoresistant epithelial stem cell population was apparent. These findings reveal features that underlie and limit the response to current immunotherapy and reveal a range of novel opportunities for targeted therapy.

Gene expression of MOLM14 (AML cell line) transfected with shCD39 or shCTRL

Project description:Relapses driven by chemoresistant leukemic cell populations are the main cause of mortality for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we show that the ectonucleotidase CD39 (ENTPD1) is upregulated in cytarabine (AraC)-resistant leukemic cells from both AML cell lines and patient samples in vivo and in vitro. Similarly, CD39 cell surface expression and activity is increased in AML patients upon chemotherapy compared to diagnosis and enrichment in CD39-expressing blasts is a marker of adverse prognosis in the clinics. High CD39 activity promotes AraC resistance by enhancing mitochondrial activity and biogenesis through activation of a cAMP-mediated response. Finally, genetic and pharmacological inhibition of CD39 eATPase activity blocks the mitochondrial reprogramming triggered by AraC treatment and markedly enhances its cytotoxicity in AML cells in vitro and in vivo. Together, these results reveal CD39 as a new prognostic marker and a promising therapeutic target to improve chemotherapy response in AML.

Modulation of the tumor promoting functions of cancer associated fibroblasts by phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition increases the efficacy of chemotherapy in human preclinical models of esophageal adenocarcinoma

Project description:The chemotherapy resistance of esophageal adenocarcinomas (EAC) is underpinned by cancer cell extrinsic mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). We demonstrate that by targeting the tumor-promoting functions of the predominant TME cell type, cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) we can enhance the efficacy of standard-of-care chemotherapy. These findings demonstrate that CAF drive chemotherapy resistance in EAC and can be targeted by repurposing PDE5i, a safe and well tolerated class of drug administered to millions of patients world-wide to treat erectile dysfunction.

Identification of Prognosis-Relevant Subgroups in Patients with Chemoresistant Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy generally have worse outcome; however, some patients with residual tumor after neoadjuvant chemotherapy do not relapse. We hypothesize that there are subgroups of chemoresistant TNBC patients with different prognosis. In this study, 25 chemoresistant samples from 47 neoadjuvant chemotherapy-treated TNBC (The Methodist Hospital) are chosen for study We used gene expression data of TNBC patients with residual disease and different prognosis to molecularly define the clinically relevant subgroups, and developed a 7-gene prognostic signature for chemoresistant TNBCs

MIcroRNA expression profiling of chemotherapy resistant esophageal adeno- and squamous cell carcinoma cell lines

Project description:Chemotherapy resistance adversely impacts the treatment of some individuals with esophageal cancer. Identifying chemotherapy resistance might help tailor clinical treatments. In this study the impact of microRNAs on chemotherapy resistance in esophageal cancer was investigated. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of microRNA expression underlying chemotherapy resistance and identified distinct classes of up-regulated microRNAs in generated chemotherapy resistant cell lines. An in-vitro model of acquired chemotherapy resistance in esophageal adeno- (EAC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells was used, and microRNA expression profiles for cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil (FU) resistant variants vs. chemotherapy sensitive controls were compared using microarray. These results were further validated using qRT-PCR techniques (not shown in this submission).

microRNA 125a Regulates MHC-I Expression on Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Cells, Associated With Suppression of Anti-tumor Immune Response and Poor Outcomes of Patients

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: Immune checkpoint inhibition may affect outcomes of highly aggressive cancers, such as esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). In this regard, the MHC-I pathway and the tumor immune microenvironment are key factors that need to be explored. METHODS: We investigated post-transcriptional mechanisms of MHC-I regulation through functional and molecular studies of EAC cell lines and of EAC biopsies. We performed RNA-sequencing of fifty-one treatment-naïve EAC biopsies to evaluate the status of the MHC-I pathway and the tumor immune microenvironment with respect to patient response and disease outcomes. RESULTS: We found that in EAC miR-125a-5p and miR-148a-3p regulate TAP2 and MHC-I expression. Interestingly, MHC-I pathway expression correlated with poorer therapeutic response. Moreover, MHC-I status correlated with a tumor immune-inflamed microenvironment, in which upregulation of PD-L1, PD-L2 and IDO1 were associated to worse patient survival. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that EAC patients with a proficient MHC-I expression and a tumor immune-inflamed microenvironment have poorer outcomes after neo-adjuvant therapy and may benefit from immune checkpoint inhibition.

Pre-existing immunity drives the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma

Project description:Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a highly aggressive tumor. Patients with locally advanced disease undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) before surgery, however fewer than 30% of treated patients achieve a pathological complete response associated with increased 5-year overall survival. We set out to elucidate the mechanisms the response to nCT by multi-dimensional profiling of pre-treatment tumor biopsies and blood samples from EAC patients. In particular we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNAseq on n=26 baseline EAC tumor; two additional EAC samples underwent only WES. WES on matched peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used as germline control.

Transcriptomic analysis of DOXO-Resistant cells compared to parental DOXO-Sensitive mda-mb-436 cell line

Project description:The major obstacle in successfully treating triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, the mainstay of treatment in this disease. Previous pre-clinical models of chemoresistance in TNBC have suffered from a lack of clinical relevance. Using a single high dose chemotherapy treatment, we developed a novel MDA-MB-436 cell-based model of chemoresistance characterized by a unique and complex morphological phenotype, which consists of polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) giving rise to neuron-like mononuclear daughter cells filled with smaller but functional mitochondria and numerous lipid droplets. This resistant phenotype is associated with metabolic reprogramming with a shift to a greater dependence on fatty acids and oxidative phosphorylation. We validated both the molecular and histologic features of this model in a clinical cohort of primary chemoresistant TNBCs and identified several metabolic vulnerabilities including a dependence on PLIN4, a perilipin coating the observed lipid droplets, expressed both in the TNBC resistant cells and clinical chemoresistant tumors treated with neoadjuvant doxorubicin-based chemotherapy. These findings thus reveal a novel mechanism of chemotherapy resistance that has therapeutic implications in the treatment of drug resistant cancer.

Distinct cellular mechanisms underlie anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 checkpoint blockade [WES]

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is able to achieve durable responses in a subset of patients, however we lack a satisfying comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 induced tumor rejection. To address these issues we utilized mass cytometry to comprehensively profile the effects of checkpoint blockade on tumor immune infiltrates in human melanoma and murine tumor models. These analyses reveal a spectrum of tumor infiltrating T cell populations that are highly similar between tumor models and indicate that checkpoint blockade targets only specific subsets of tumor infiltrating T cell populations. Anti-PD-1 predominantly induces the expansion of specific tumor infiltrating exhausted-like CD8 T cell subsets. In contrast, anti-CTLA-4 induces the expansion of an ICOS+ Th1-like CD4 effector population in addition to engaging specific subsets of exhausted-like CD8 T cells. Thus, our findings indicate that anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 checkpoint blockade induced immune responses are driven by distinct cellular mechanisms.
