PIKfyve inhibition upregulates surface expression of MHC class I to enhance immune responses in cancer

ABSTRACT: Despite the remarkable clinical success of immunotherapies in a subset of cancer patients, many fail to respond to treatment and exhibit primary resistance. Here, we found thatgenetic or pharmacologic inhibitionof the lipid kinase PIKfyve, a regulator of autophagic flux and lysosomal biogenesis,upregulated surface expression of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) in cancer cells via impairing autophagic flux, resulting in enhanced cancer cell killing mediated by CD8+ T cells. Genetic depletion or pharmacologic inhibition of PIKfyve elevated tumor-specific MHC-I surface expression, reduced tumor proliferation, and increased intratumoral functional CD8+T cellsinsyngeneic mouse models. Importantly, enhanced antitumor responses by Pikfyve-depletion was CD8+T cell- and MHC-I-dependent,as CD8+ T cell depletion or B2m knockout rescued tumor growth. Furthermore, PIKfyve inhibition improved response to various immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), adoptive cell therapy, and therapeutic vaccines. High expression of PIKFYVE was also predictive of poor response to ICB and prognostic of poor survival in ICB-treated cohorts. Collectively, our findings show that targeting PIKfyve enhances immunotherapies by elevating surface expression of MHC-I in cancer cells, and PIKfyve inhibitors have potential as novel agents to increase immunotherapy response in cancer patients.

Mapping of immunopeptidome of cancer immunotherapy with oncolytic virus and checkpoint blockade

Project description:The elucidation of therapy-induced changes to the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I)-bound tumor antigens is crucial for understanding immune-mediated tumor eradication and identifying potential targets for peptide vaccines to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies. Here, we investigated how oncolytic reovirus therapy with and without immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) alters the tumor peptide-MHC repertoire. Using mass spectrometry analysis of immunoaffinity purified MHC peptides, we first showed that changes to the MHC immunopeptidome following reovirus treatment is cancer type-dependent, where a murine fibrosarcoma model displayed quantitative and qualitative variance in differentially expressed peptides (DEPs) as compared to those identified in a murine ovarian cancer model. We then determined that the combination therapy of reovirus and ICB in the fibrosarcoma model resulted in higher numbers of DEPs relative to either monotherapy alone. Most importantly, we identified reovirus and ICB-induced MHC peptides that are biologically active in stimulating interferon-gamma response in cognate CD8+ T cells, which likely contribute to cancer immunoediting. These findings highlight the importance of therapy-induced changes to the MHC immunopeptidome in shaping the underlying anti-tumor immune responses during reovirus and ICB combination therapy.

Ubiquitin-activating enzyme mediates immune escape via suppressing interferon signaling

Project description:How cancer cells escape immune surveillance and resist immunotherapies remain to be elucidated. By screening candidate genes frequently amplified in cancer, we identified expression of ubiquitin-activating enzyme (UBA1) as being the most negatively correlated with signatures related to effector CD8+T cells. High expression of UBA1was strongly predictive of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and poor survival in ICB cohorts. In immunocompetent syngeneic models, but not in immunodeficient models, we found that overexpression ofUba1in cancer cells promoted tumor growth and reduced functional, intratumoral CD8+T cells. Conversely, depletion ofUba1impaired tumor progression, accompanied with increase of functional, intratumoral CD8+T cells. CD8+T cell depletion rescued tumor growth impairment mediated byUba1depletion. Additionally, a selective, small molecule inhibitor of UBA1, TAK-243, delayed tumor growth and augmented ICB in various syngeneic models, in a manner dependent on CD8+T cells. Intratumoral administration of TAK-243 and tumor rechallenge experiments revealed that TAK-243 treatment exhibited a remarkable abscopal effect and provided prolonged protection against cancer, accompanied with elevation of memory CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, depletion or inactivation of UBA1 stabilized the short-lived interferon (IFN) pathway component, JAK1, upregulated both type-I and -II IFN signaling pathways, and resulted in elevation of key immune modulators, including CXCL9, CXCL10, and MHC-I. Taken together, our data supports that UBA1 mediates cancer immune escape via suppressing interferon signaling and suggests that targeting UBA1 may activate systemic cancer immunity.

Activated SUMOylation restricts the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway to confer immune evasion in cancer

Project description:Activated SUMOylation is a hallmark of aggressive cancers. Starting from a targeted screening for SUMO-regulated immune evasion mechanisms, we identified an evolutionary conserved function of activated SUMOylation, which attenuates the immunogenicity of tumor cells. Activated SUMOylation allows cancer cells to evade CD8+ T-cell immunosurveillance by repressing the MHC-I antigen processing and presentation machinery (APM). While loss of the MHC-I APM is a frequent cause of resistance to cancer immunotherapies, the pharmacological inhibition of SUMOylation (SUMOi) restored the expression of the MHC-I APM and enhanced the susceptibility of tumor cells to CD8+ T-cell mediated killing. Importantly, SUMOi also triggered the activation of CD8+ T-cells itself and thereby drives a feed-forward loop amplifying the specific anti-tumor immune response. In summary, we show that activated SUMOylation converts tumor cells into a state of immune evasion, and identify SUMOi as rational therapeutic strategy for enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.

Rebalancing TGFβ1/BMP Signals Preserves Effector and Memory Programs in Terminally Dysfunctional CD8+ T Cells [Bisulfite-Seq]

Project description:T cell dysfunctionality prevents clearance of chronic infections and cancer. Furthermore, epigenetic programming in dysfunctional CD8+ T cells limits durable responses to T cell-based immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, major gaps concern how upstream signals drive acquisition of dysfunctional epigenetic programs, and whether therapeutically targeting these signals can remodel terminally dysfunctional T cells to an ICB-responsive state. Here, we use an in vitro model of human T cell dysfunction and complementary in vivo mouse chronic virus infection and tumor models. We show that post-effector TGFβ1 signaling establishes terminal dysfunction in human CD8+ T cells through stable epigenetic changes. Importantly, we demonstrate that promoting BMP signaling while blocking TGFβ1 restored effector and memory programs in dysfunctional human CD8+ T cells, induced superior anti-tumor activity, and boosted ICB responses during mouse chronic virus infection. Thus, rebalancing TGFβ1/BMP-signals in dysfunctional CD8+ T cells provides an exciting new approach to enhance T cell immunotherapies.

A ketogenic diet can revert acquired resistance to immunotherapy in prostate cancer through β-hydroxybutyrate-mediated inhibition of histone deacetylases

Project description:Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men in the US. In the past decade, immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) drugs targeting programmed death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) have revolutionized the field of cancer therapeutics, but the objective response rate in prostate cancers is in the low single digits. A major complicating issue is that immunotherapies can have significant adverse effects, so there is a clinical need for novel combinatorial strategies that do not involve additional or compounding adverse effects. We developed a model system of advanced prostate cancer that has acquired resistance to ICB therapy. The PD-1 resistant sublines showed strong downregulation of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I), which was reversed by treating cells with either the pan-histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Vorinostat or β-hydroxybutyrate. When mice bearing these ICB resistant tumor are treated with either Vorinostat, with a cyclical ketogenic diet (CKD), or with a 1,3-butanediol diet (BD), tumors are resensitized to ICB therapy. We analyzed changes in the tumor immune microenvironment and showed that this effect is driven by a shift in monocyte differentiation, changing from M2 polarized immunosuppressive macrophages into iNOS+ dendritic cells instead. This differentiation is dependent on an ICB-induced increase in CD40L+ CD8+ T-cells in the tumor immune microenvironment. Our results indicate a novel mechanism in which a ketogenic diet can be used to increase therapeutic efficacy of ICB therapy.

Integrative MHC-I peptidome quantitation with isobaric tagging mass spectrometry

Project description:Despite the appreciation of CD8+ T cell anti-tumor immune responses towards improvement patient outcomes, the MHC-I peptides that facilitate the response are poorly described. Alternatively, whether cancer therapies alter the MHC-I peptide repertoire has not been fully assessed due to the lack of quantitative strategies. In this regard, anthracyclines and ionizing radiation both increase the infiltration of CD8+ T cells into tumors but whether they do so by altering the MHC-I peptidome repertoire is not known. To investigate this, we developed a platform for screening therapy-induced MHC-I peptides by quantitative, multiplexed measurement of MHC-I peptides with tandem mass tags (TMT). We show that both ionizing radiation and the anthracycline doxorubicin induce MHC-I peptides that are largely derived from mitotic progression and cell cycle proteins. Our approach enables further strategies to understand how small molecules and other therapies alter MHC-I peptide presentation that may be harnessed for CD8+ T cell-based immunotherapies.
