SETD2 loss and ATR inhibition synergistically promote cGAS signaling and immunotherapy response in renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) demonstrates durable clinical benefit only in a minority of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Identifying molecular features that determine response and developing approaches to enhance the response remain an urgent clinical need. Here we found that, in multiple RCC cell lines, targeting the ATR-CHK1 axis with pharmacological inhibitors increased cytosolic DNA accumulation, activated the cGAS-IRF3-dependent cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, and resulted in the inflammatory cytokine expression. SETD2 mutated RCC cell lines or tumor samples were associated with preferential ATR-CHK1 activation over ATM-CHK2 activation. SETD2 knockdown promoted the cytosolic DNA sensing pathway and conferred greater sensitivity in response to ATR-CHK1 inhibition. In murine Renca tumors, Setd2 knockdown and ATR inhibitor VE822 synergistically promoted cytosolic DNA sensing pathway, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoint protein expression. Setd2 deficient Renca tumors demonstrated greater vulnerability to ICB monotherapy or in combination with VE822 than Setd2 proficient tumors. SETD2 mutations were associated with a higher response rate and prolonged overall survival in ICB-treated RCC patients, but not in non-ICB-treated RCC patients. This study provides a mechanism-based guidance to develop more personalized combination therapy regimens for RCC patients with SETD2 mutations.

Renal carcinoma/kidney progenitor cell chimera organoid as a novel tumorigenesis gene discovery model

Project description:Three-dimensional (3D) organoids provide a new way to model various diseases, including cancer. We made use of recently developed kidney-organ-primordia tissue-engineering technologies to create novel renal organoids for cancer gene discovery. We then tested whether our novel assays can be used to examine kidney cancer development. First, we identified the transcriptomic profiles of quiescent embryonic mouse metanephric mesenchyme (MM) and of MM in which the nephrogenesis program had been induced ex vivo. The transcriptome profiles were then compared to the profiles of tumor biopsies from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, and control samples from the same kidneys. Certain signature genes were identified that correlated in the developmentally induced MM and RCC, including components of the caveolar-mediated endocytosis signaling pathway. An efficient siRNA-mediated knockdown (KD) of Bnip3, Gsn, Lgals3, Pax8, Cav1, Egfr or Itgb2 gene expression was achieved in mouse RCC (Renca) cells. The live-cell imaging analysis revealed inhibition of cell migration and cell viability in the gene-KD Renca cells in comparison to Renca controls. Upon siRNA treatment, the transwell invasion capacity of Renca cells was also inhibited. Finally, we mixed the nephron progenitors with yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-expressing Renca cells to establish chimera organoids. Strikingly, we found that the Bnip3-, Cav1- and Gsn-KD Renca-YFP+ cells as a chimera with the MM in 3D organoid rescued, in part, the RCC-mediated inhibition of the nephrogenesis program during epithelial tubules formation. Altogether, our research indicates that comparing renal ontogenesis control genes to the genes involved in kidney cancer may provide new growth-associated gene screens and that 3D RCC-MM chimera organoids can serve as a novel model with which to investigate the behavioral roles of cancer cells within the context of emergent complex tissue structures.

Nuclear pCHK1 as a potential biomarker of increased sensitivity to ATR inhibition

Project description:Excessive genomic instability coupled with abnormalities in DNA repair pathways induce high levels of “replication stress” when cancer cells propagate. Rather than hampering cancer cell proliferation, novel treatment strategies are turning their attention toward targeting cell cycle checkpoint kinases (such as ATR, CHK1, WEE1 and others) along the DNA damage response and replicative stress response pathways, thereby allowing unrepaired DNA damage to be carried forward towards mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis. The selective inhibitor of ATR kinase elimusertib (BAY 1895344), has demonstrated preclinical and clinical monotherapy activity; however, reliable predictive biomarkers of treatment benefit are still lacking. In this study, using gene expression profiling of 24 cell lines from different cancer types and in a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines, we found that nuclear-specific enrichment of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) correlated with increased sensitivity to elimusertib. Using an advanced multispectral imaging system in subsequent cell line-derived xenograft specimens, we showed a trend between nuclear phosphorylated-CHK1 (pCHK1) staining and increased sensitivity to the ATR inhibitor elimusertib, indicating the potential value of pCHK1 expression as a predictive biomarker of ATR inhibitor sensitivity.

IGR_MESSAI_CCRCC_HIF2

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of HIF-2a in regulating RCC susceptibility to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing. We demonstrated that the RCC cell line 786-O with mutated VHL was resistant to NK-mediated lysis as compared to the VHL corrected cell line (WT7). This resistance was independent of immunological synapse formation and NK ligand expression but was found to be reliant on HIF-2a stabilization in 786-0 cells. In order to elucidate the molecular basis of HIF-2a-induced impairment of NK-mediated killing, we performed global gene analysis using DNA microarray. Three candidate genes (ANGPTL4, ADM and ITPR1) were selected on the basis of their fold change and their involvement in cell death and survival. SiRNA targeting of these genes revealed that only ITPR1 silencing resulted in a significant increase of 786-O susceptibility to NK-mediated lysis. Using gene silencing of HIF2-a and chromatin immunoprecipitation assay, we showed for the first time that ITPR1 was a direct novel target of HIF2-a. Notably, a strong and significant correlation was found between ITPR1and HIF2-a staining in RCC patients. Transcriptional profiling of ITPR1silenced RCC cells indicated that several important genes involved in cell survival and apoptosis were differentially regulated. Using ITPR1 silenced Renca cells, we further found that ITPR1 was involved in the control of tumor progression. Moreover ITPR1 targeting combined with NK depletion significantly enhanced tumor growth as compared to ITPR1 knocked down Renca xenografts. Our data provide insights into the link between HIF-2a, ITPR1-related pathway and natural immunity and suggest a role of the HIF2/ITPR1 axis in regulating RCC cell survival.

DNA Demethylation promotes ERV expression and activation of immune signaling in renal cell cancer cells

Project description:Recently, we reported that expression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), a class of transposable element, is associated with response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Aberrant expression of ERVs can activate host antiviral responses, as well as produce neoantigens. ERV expression is repressed by DNA methylation and can be activated by DNA hypomethylating agents. Here, we investigate whether Decitabine, a DNA hypomethylating agent, can activate ERV expression and host antiviral defenses in RCC to potentially enhance response to ICB. Decitabine induced expression of ERV3-2 and ERV4700 in RCC cells lines, which was accompanied by activation of host antiviral defense genes and increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines. We validated this effect in primary human RCC cell lines. Knockout of RIG-I and MDA5 dsRNA sensors attenuated activation of antiviral responses associated with Decitabine treatment, and RIG-I and MDA5 immunoprecipitations showed increased ERV binding in RCC cells treated with Decitabine. Bioinformatic analysis of RNAseq data showed the Decitabine-induced gene signature could be associated with increased CD8 infiltration and response to ICB. Conditioned media from Decitabine treated RCC cells was capable of inducing host anti-viral defense in naïve RCC cells and could modestly improve activation of T-cells from healthy donors. Further, conditioned media from RCC cells treated with Decitabine significantly enhanced T-cell migration. In a small retrospective cohort of metastatic RCC patients treated with single-agent PD-1/PD-L1 blockade, activation of some host antiviral defense genes was significantly higher in responders compared with nonresponders. Thus, modulation of ERV expression by Decitabine to activate host antiviral defenses could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to enhance RCC patient response to immune checkpoint blockade.

Dual Inhibition of DNA methylation and PARP Increases Anti-tumor Efficacy in SETD2 Deficient Kidney Cancer

Project description:Purpose: SETD2 deficiency, a driving force of depleted levels of H3K36me3 due to impaired methyltransferase activity, plays an important role in diverse forms of cancer, most notably in aggressive and metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). Developing novel treatment schema targeting SETD2-compromised cancer cells are urgently needed. Methods: Human kidney cancer cell lines with or without SETD2 deficiency were treated with a DNA Hypomethylating Agent (HMA), a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi), and both (HMA + PARPi) in combination in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Cell inhibition, Comet, flow cytometry, western blot, and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) gene expression assays as well as bioinformatic analyses were performed to explore the underlying mechanism action. Results: By taking advantage of involvement of SETD2 in DNA methylation and DNA repair, we found the combination treatment of an HMA (5-Aza-CdR/DAC) and a PARPi (Talazoparib/BMN-673) generated increased cytotoxicity in in vitro SETD2-deficient RCC cell lines than in SETD2-proficient cell lines. Furthermore, our results also demonstrate synergetic anti-tumor effects in SETD2 deficiency RCC cell lines when treated with DAC and BMN-673 that include apoptotic induction, increased DNA damage, insufficient DNA damage repair, upregulation of immune responses by STING and transposable elements (TEs), as well as increased genomic instability. Finally, the combination treatment for SETD2-deficient RCCs was also validated using in vivo mouse models. Conclusion: SETD2 deficiency creates a vulnerable epigenetic status to generate efficacious anti-tumor effects via the combination treatment of DAC and BMN-673 in human and mouse RCC systems, making it a precise medicine-based approach for SETD2-compromised cancers.

Cytosolic DNA accumulation promotes breast cancer immunogenicity via a STING-independent pathway

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, ICB alone has demonstrated only benefit in a small subset of patients with breast cancer. We here reported that the tumoral cytosolic ssDNA is associated with tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte in patients with triple negative breast cancer. TREX1 deficiency triggered a STING-independent innate immune response via DDX3X. Cytosolic ssDNA accumulation in tumors due to TREX1 deletion is sufficient to drastically improve the efficacy of ICB.

CDK2-mediated TNFa Upregulation as a Mechanism of Cytotoxicity in Acute Leukemia

Project description:Although inhibitors of the kinases CHK1, ATR and WEE1 are undergoing clinical testing, it remains unclear how these three classes of agents kill susceptible cells and whether they utilize the same cytotoxic mechanism. Here we observed that CHK1 inhibition induces apoptosis in a subset of acute leukemia cell lines, including TP53 null acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and BCR/ABL-positive acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), in vitro and inhibits leukemic colony formation in clinical AML samples ex vivo. In further studies, CHK1 downregulation or CHK1 inhibitor treatment triggered signaling in sensitive human acute leukemia cell lines that involved CDK2 activation followed by AP1-dependent TNF transactivation, TNF production and engagement of a TNFR1- and BID-dependent apoptotic pathway. AML lines that were intrinsically CHK1 inhibitor resistant exhibited high CHK1 expression and were sensitized by CHK1 downregulation. Signaling through this same CDK2  AP1  TNF cytotoxic pathway was also initiated by ATR or WEE1 inhibitors in vitro and during CHK1 inhibitor treatment of AML xenografts in vivo. Collectively, these observations not only identify new contributors to antileukemic cell action of CHK1, ATR and WEE1 inhibitors, but also delineate a previously undescribed pathway leading from aberrant CDK2 activation to death ligand-induced killing that can potentially be exploited for acute leukemia treatment.

Regulation of CHK1 inhibitor resistance by a c-Rel and USP1 dependent pathway C4PR_LIV

Project description:The ATR-CHK1 signalling pathway responds to single strand DNA breaks and is required for cancer cells to survive the high levels of DNA replication stress and genomic instability resulting from the activity of oncogenes such as MYC. For this reason, inhibitors of CHK1 have great potential as anti-cancer drugs and are currently in clinical trials. However, overcoming de novo or acquired resistance to CHK1 inhibition is required if these are to be used as effective therapies. We discovered that lymphomas from the E-Myc mouse model of MYC driven B-cell lymphoma, with a deletion of the c-Rel NF-B subunit, have defective CHK1 activity and are resistant to treatment with the highly specific CHK1i CCT244747. Here we use quantitative (phospho)proteomics approaches to investigate how de novo resistance to CHK1i is acquired and can be overcome, offering potential therapeutic opportunity in patients developing resistance to Chk1i in the clinic.
