Rewiring the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Enhances Tumor Immunogenicity

ABSTRACT: Although tumor growth requires the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), the relative contribution of Complex I (CI) and II (CII), the gatekeepers for initiating electron flow, remains unclear. Here, we report that loss of CII, but not CI, reduces melanoma tumor growth by increasing antigen presentation and T cell-mediated killing. This is driven by succinate-mediated transcriptional and epigenetic activation of major histocompatibility complex I-antigen processing and presentation (MHC-APP) genes that is independent of interferon signaling. Furthermore, knock-out of MCJ, to promote electron entry preferentially via CI, provides proof-of-concept of ETC rewiring to achieve anti-tumor responses without side effects associated with an overall reduction in mitochondrial respiration in non-cancer cells. Our results hold therapeutic potential for tumors that have reduced MHC-APP expression, a common mechanism of cancer immunoevasion.

Rewiring the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Enhances Tumor Antigen Presentation and Immunogenicity [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Loss of antigen presentation by MHCI is a common mechanism of tumor immune evasion. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity influences MHCI expression, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the relative flow of electrons through complex I or II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) regulates MHCI expression and antigen presentation in cancer cells. Specifically, reducing electron flow from complex II increases mitochondrial succinate which activates transcription of MHCI and antigen processing and presentation (APP) genes. These phenotypes are independent of the interferon (IFN) signaling pathway and driven by succinate-mediated enzymatic inhibition of lysine-specific demethylases, KDM5A/B and destabilization of polycomb repressor complex 2 (PRC2). Finally, knockout of the mitochondrial Complex I inhibitor protein, MCJ, preferentially reduces electron flow through Complex II and increases succinate which drives an enhanced antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell response to mouse melanoma tumors in vivo. These findings suggest that the mitochondrial ETC can be manipulated therapeutically to enhance antitumor immune responses independently of IFNγ.

An evolutionarily conserved function of polycomb silences the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway and enables immune evasion in cancer [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Loss of MHC class I (MHC-I) antigen presentation in cancer cells can lead to immunotherapy resistance. Using a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen we identify a critical role for polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) in the coordinated transcriptional silencing of the MHC-I antigen processing pathway (MHC-I APP). This evolutionarily conserved function of PRC2 promotes evasion of T-cell mediated immunity, enabling tumor transmission to non-histocompatible recipients in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumor. MHC-I APP gene promoters in MHC-I low cancers harbour bivalent activating H3K4me3 and repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications, silencing basal MHC-I expression and restricting cytokine induced MHC-I APP gene upregulation. Bivalent chromatin at MHC-I APP genes is a normal developmental process active in embryonic stem cells and maintained during neural progenitor differentiation. This physiological silencing of MHC-I expression highlights a conserved mechanism by which cancers arising from these primitive tissues coopt PRC2 activity to enable immune evasion.

Hippo signaling-controlled MHC-I antigen processing and presentation pathway potentiates antitumor immunity

Project description:MHC class I (MHC-I)-mediated tumor antigen processing and presentation (APP) pathway is essential for recruitment and activation of cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CD8+ CTLs). However, this pathway is frequently dysregulated in many cancers, thus leading to a failure of immunotherapy. Here, we reported that activation of the tumoral intrinsic Hippo pathway positively correlated with the expression of MHC-I APP genes and the abundance of CD8+ CTLs in mouse tumors and patients. Blocking the Hippo pathway effector YAP/TEAD potently improved antitumor immunity. Mechanistically, the YAP/TEAD complex cooperated with the NuRD complex to repress the NLRC5 transcription. The upregulation of NLRC5 by YAP/TEAD depletion or pharmacological inhibition increased the expression of MHC-I APP genes and enhanced CD8+ CTLmediated killing of cancer cells. Collectively, our results suggest a novel tumorpromoting function of YAP depending on NLRC5 to impair MHC-I APP pathway and provide a rationale for inhibiting YAP activity in immunotherapy for cancer.

Selective Mitochondrial Respiratory Complex I Subunit Deficiency Causes Tumor Immunogenicity

Project description:Targeting of specific metabolic pathways in tumor cells has the potential to sensitize them to immune-mediated attack. Here we provide evidence for a specific means of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I (CI) inhibition that improves tumor immunogenicity and sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Targeted genetic deletion of the CI subunits Ndufs4 and Ndufs6, but not other subunits, induces an immune-dependent tumor growth attenuation in mouse melanoma models. We show that deletion of Ndufs4 induces expression of the transcription factor Nlrc5 and genes in the MHC class-I antigen presentation and processing pathway. This induction of MHC-related genes is driven by an accumulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase-dependent mitochondrial acetyl-CoA downstream of CI subunit deletion. This work provides a novel functional modality by which selective CI inhibition restricts tumor growth, suggesting that specific targeting of Ndufs4, or related CI subunits, increases T-cell mediated immunity and sensitivity to ICB.

Reshaping of the MHC-I ligandome in response to reovirus-based cancer immunotherapy

Project description:Oncolytic viruses (OVs), known for their cancer-killing characteristics, overturn tumor-associated defects in antigen presentation through the MHC class I pathway and induce protective neo antitumor CD8 T cell responses. Nonetheless, whether OVs shape the tumor MHC-I ligandome remains unknown. Here, we investigated if an OV induces the presentation of novel MHC I-bound tumor antigens (termed tumor MHC-I ligands). Using comparative mass spectrometry (MS)-based MHC-I ligandomics, we determined differential tumor MHC-I ligand expression following treatment with oncolytic reovirus in a murine ovarian cancer model. In vitro we found that reovirus induces the presentation of tumor MHC-I ligands in cancer cells. Concurrent multiplexed quantitative proteomics revealed that the changes in tumor MHC-I ligand presentation were mostly independent of reovirus-induced alterations of their source proteins. In an in vivo model, tumor MHC-I ligands were induced by reovirus in tumors but also, more importantly, analysis of spleens (a source of antigen-presenting cells) showed exclusive induction of most MHC-I ligands occurred in tumor-bearing mice. Finally, IFNγ assays demonstrated immunogenicity of the reovirus-induced MHC-I ligands. OV-induced MHC-I responses may be exploited in combinatorial approaches to promote the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.

KDM5A epigenetically orchestrates MHC-I associated anti-tumor immunity of immunotherapy [DC RNA-seq]

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy revolutionized cancer treatment, but many patients with impaired MHC-I expression remain refractory. Histone methylation was involved in anti-tumor immunity of ICB. However, the link between histone methylation and MHC-I regulation and the related mechanisms are poorly understood. Here we show that KDM5A, an H3K4 demethylase that is critical for MHC-I expression and associated antigen presentation capacity, induces robust immune response and enhances ICB efficacy. Mechanistically, KDM5A upregulates IFN-gamma/STAT1-mediated MHC-I expression via directly binding and suppressing Scos1 in tumor cells. The genes encoding the lysosomal cathepsins are recognized and up-regulated by KDM5A, resulting in enhanced antigen-presentation abilities of both tumor cells and dendritic cells. Furthermore, pharmacological enhancing KDM5A improves response to anti-PD-1 therapy. These investigations demonstrate that enhancing KDM5A triggers MHC-associated antigen presentation of both tumor cells and DCs simultaneously to boost antitumor immunity, thus represents a candidate ICB sensitizer.

Genome-wide Screens Identify Lineage- and Tumor-Specific Genes Modulating MHC-I- and MHC-II-Restricted Immunosurveillance of Human Lymphomas [DLBCL_GSK126]

Project description:Tumors frequently subvert MHC class I (MHC-I) peptide presentation to evade CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance, though how this is accomplished is not always well-defined. To identify the global regulatory networks controlling antigen presentation, we employed genome-wide screening in human diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). This approach revealed dozens of genes that positively and negatively modulate MHC-I cell surface expression. Validated genes clustered in multiple pathways including cytokine signaling, mRNA processing, endosomal trafficking, and protein metabolism. Genes can exhibit lymphoma subtype- or tumor-specific MHC-I regulation, and a majority of primary DLBCL tumors displayed genetic alterations in multiple regulators. We established SUGT1 as a major positive regulator of both MHC-I and MHC-II cell surface expression. Further, pharmacological inhibition of two negative regulators of antigen presentation, EZH2 and thymidylate synthase, enhanced DLBCL MHC-I presentation. These and other genes represent potential targets for manipulating MHC-I immunosurveillance in cancers, infectious diseases, and autoimmunity.
