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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Checkpoint blockade-induced dermatitis and colitis are dominated by tissue resident memory T cells and Th1/Tc1 cytokines

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is therapeutically successful in multiple cancer types. However, immune-related adverse events (irAE) frequently occur and can sometimes be life-threatening. It is critical to understand the immunologic mechanisms of irAEs with the goal of finding novel treatment targets. Therefore, we studied tissues from irAE dermatitis cases using multiparameter immunofluorescence (IF), spatial transcriptomics, and RNA in situ hybridization. Skin psoriasis cases were studied as a comparison, as a known Th17-driven disease, and colitis was investigated as a comparison. IF analysis revealed that CD4+ and CD8+ tissue resident memory T (TRM) cells were preferentially expanded in the inflamed portion of skin in cutaneous irAEs compared to healthy skin controls. Spatial transcriptomics allowed focusing attention on areas containing TRM cells to discern their functional phenotype, and revealed expression of Th1-associated genes in irAE, compared to Th17-asociated genes in psoriasis. Expression of a range of inhibitory checkpoint molecules was observed, including PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3, and TIGIT. RNA in situ hybridization (RISH) technology combined with IF confirmed expression of IFN-γ, CXCL9, CXCL10, and TNF-α in additional irAE dermatitis cases and allowed us to identify production of IFN-γ within TRM cells specifically. The Th1-skewed phenotype was confirmed in irAE colitis cases compared to healthy colon.

Inhibition of IL-17A Protects against Thyroid Immune-related Adverse Events while Preserving Checkpoint Inhibitor Anti-tumor Efficacy [RNA-seq (murine)]

Project description:Checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) immunotherapy leverages the body’s own immune system to attack cancer cells but leads to unwanted autoimmune side effects in up to 60% of patients. Such immune related adverse events (IrAE) lead to treatment interruption, permanent organ dysfunction, hospitalization and premature death. Thyroiditis is one of the most common IrAE, but the cause of thyroid IrAE remains unknown. Here we present a novel mouse model in which checkpoint inhibitor therapy leads to multi-organ autoimmune infiltrates and show that activation and infiltration of Type 3 immune cells including IL17A+ RORgt+ CD4+ (T helper 17 or Th17) and gamma delta 17 (gdT17) T cells promote thyroid IrAE development. In parallel, Th17 and gdT17 cells were similarly expanded in cancer patients treated with ICI. Furthermore, antibody-based inhibition of IL-17A, a clinically available therapy, significantly reduced thyroid IrAE development in ICI-treated mice. Finally, combination of IL-17A neutralization with ICI treatment in a mouse tumor model did not reduce ICI anti-tumor efficacy and indeed showed a trend toward enhancement. These studies suggest that targeting Th17 and gd17 function may reduce IrAE without impairing ICI anti-tumor efficacy and may be a generalizable strategy to address IL17-mediated IrAE.

T cell characteristics associated with toxicity to immune checkpoint blockade in patients with melanoma [BCR and TCR scRNA-Seq]

Project description:Severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) occur in up to 60% of melanoma patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, it remains unknown whether a common baseline immunological state precedes irAE development. Leveraging CyTOF, single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, and T cell receptor sequencing to analyze pretreatment blood from metastatic melanoma patients treated with ICIs, we investigated cellular factors associated with severe irAE development regardless of organ system involvement. Our results demonstrate circulating T cell characteristics associated with ICI-induced toxicity, with implications for improved diagnostics and clinical management.

Single-cell genomics segregate different transcriptomic impacts of anti-IL-17A blockade on type 17 T-cells and regulatory immune cells in psoriasis skin

Project description:Durable psoriasis improvement has been reported in a subset of psoriasis patients after treatment withdrawal of biologics blocking IL-23/Type 17 T-cell (T17) autoimmune axis. However, it is not well understood if systemic blockade of the IL-23/T17 axis promotes immune tolerance in psoriasis skin. The purpose of the study was to find translational evidence that systemic IL-17A blockade promotes regulatory transcriptome modification in human psoriasis skin immune cell subsets. We analyzed human psoriasis lesional skin 6 mm punch biopsy tissues before and after systemic IL-17A blockade using the muti-genomics approach integrating immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 18), microarray (n = 61), and immunohistochemistry (n = 61) with repository normal control skin immune cell-enriched scRNA-seq (n = 10) and microarray (n = 8) data. For the T17 axis transcriptome, systemic IL-17A blockade depleted 100% of IL17A + T-cells and 95% of IL17F + T-cells in psoriasis skin. The expression of IL23A in DC subsets was also downregulated by IL-17A blockade. The expression of IL-17-driven inflammatory mediators (IL36G, S100A8, DEFB4A, and DEFB4B) in suprabasal keratinocytes was correlated with psoriasis severity and was downregulated by IL-17A blockade. For the regulatory DC transcriptome, the proportion of regulatory semimature DCs expressing regulatory DC markers of BDCA-3 (THBD) and DCIR (CLEC4A) was increased in posttreatment psoriasis lesional skin compared to pretreatment psoriasis lesional skin. In addition, IL-17A blockade induced higher expression of CD1C and CD14, which are markers of CD1c+ CD14+ dendritic cell (DC) subset that suppresses antigen-specific T-cell responses, in posttreatment regulatory semimature DCs compared to pretreatment regulatory semimature DCs. In conclusion, systemic IL-17A inhibition not only blocks the entire IL-23/T17 cell axis but also promotes regulatory gene expression in regulatory DCs in human psoriasis skin.

Methylome of CD4+ T cell subsets

Project description:We compared the methylated and non-methylated regions in the genome of ex vivo-isolated naive CD4+ T cells, Th1 cells, Th17 cells and regulatory T cells by methyl-CpG binding domain protein sequencing (MBD-seq). Naive T cells and Th1 cells share more methylated regions than naive T cells and Th17 cells or Th1 and Th17 cells. However, analysis of the non-methylated regions revealed the highest similarity between Th1 and Th17 cells. Another aim was the analysis of the Th17 lineage on the basis of the methylome. We searched for regions absent in the methylome of Th17 but present in naive T cells, Th1 cells and regulatory T cells. Here, we identified differential methylation in the loci of Il17a, Chn2, Dpp4 and Dclk1. CD4+ T effector cells were prepared ex vivo, stimulated with PMA/Ionomycin, subjected to a comercially available cytokine secretion kit (IL-17A and IFNg), stained by adding fluorescence-labeled antibodies against CD3, CD4 and CD45RB and sorted by flow cytometry. We sorted naive CD4+ T cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_high), Th1 cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_low_IFNg+IL17A-), Th17 cells (CD3+CD4+CD45RB_low_IFNg-IL17A+) and regulatory T cells (CD3+CD4+CD25++).

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.
