The tumor intrinsic role of the m6A reader YTHDF2 in regulating immune evasion [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Tumors evade attacks from the immune system through various mechanisms. Here, we identify a component of tumor immune evasion mediated by YTH domain-containing family protein 2 (YTHDF2), a reader protein that usually destabilizes m6A-modified mRNA. Loss of tumoral YTHDF2 inhibits tumor growth and prolongs survival in immunocompetent tumor models. Mechanistically, tumoral YTHDF2 deficiency promotes the recruitment of macrophages via CX3CL1 and enhances mitochondrial respiration of CD8+ T cells by impairing tumor glycolysis metabolism. Tumoral YTHDF2 deficiency promotes inflammatory macrophage polarization and antigen presentation in the presence of IFN-γ. In addition, IFN-γ induces autophagic degradation of tumoral YTHDF2, thereby sensitizing tumor cells to CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Last, we identified a small molecule compound that preferentially induces YTHDF2 degradation, which shows a potent antitumor effect alone but a better effect when combined with anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 antibodies. Collectively, YTHDF2 appears to be a tumor-intrinsic regulator that orchestrates immune evasion, representing a promising target for enhancing cancer immunotherapy.

Targeting the RNA m6A reader YTHDF2 in tumor-associated macrophages shapes tumor immunity and immunotherapy [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The presence of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) affects cancer progression and immunotherapy response. The RNA m6A methylation, an epigenetic modification, has recently been found to play a pivotal role in shaping the TME. However, the role and underlying mechanisms by which RNA m6A methylation regulates TAMs function and anti-tumor immunity remain elusive. Here we show that depletion of YTHDF2, a well-known m6A reader, in TAMs suppresses tumor growth and metastasis. Myeloid YTHDF2 deficiency reprograms TAMs to anti-tumorigenic type and increases their cross-presentation ability, thereby enhancing CD8+T cell-mediated anti-tumor immunity. Transcriptome-wide screening identifies YTHDF2 deficiency facilitates anti-tumorigenic TAMs reprogramming through targeting IFN-γ-STAT1 signaling. Selectively targeting YTHDF2 in TAMs using toll-like receptor 9 agonist - conjugated small interfering RNA against YTHDF2 effectively promotes anti-tumor immunity, restrains tumor growth, and enhances the efficacy of anti-PD-L1 therapy. Together, our findings suggest that YTHDF2 in TAMs might be a promising therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.

Transcriptome analysis of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells treated with copper and copper chelators (Dextran-Catechin - DC, and Tetraethylenepentamine pentahydrochloride - TEPA) in the presence or absence of interferon gamma

Project description:Therapeutic checkpoint antibodies blocking PD1/PD-L1 signaling have radically improved clinical outcomes in cancer. However, the regulation of PD-L1 expression on tumor cells is still poorly understood. Here we show that intra-tumoral copper levels influence PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. Copper supplementation enhanced PD-L1 expression at mRNA and protein levels in cancer cells and RNAseq revealed that copper regulates key signaling pathways mediating PD-L1-driven cancer immune evasion. Conversely, copper chelators inhibited phosphorylation of STAT3 and EGFR and promoted ubiquitin-mediated degradation of PD-L1. Overall, this study reveals an important role for copper in regulating PD-L1 and suggests that anti-cancer immunotherapy might be enhanced by pharmacologically reducing intra-tumor copper levels.

Gene-expression profiles of ovarian cancer regarding its microenvironment

Project description:PD-L1 suppresses host immunity and promotes tumor growth. We investigated how IFN-γ regulates PD-L1 in the ovarian cancer microenvironment. In clinical samples, the number of stromal CTLs in peritoneally disseminated tumors was correlated with PD-L1 expression on the tumor cells, and the lymphocyte number was significantly related to the IFN-γ signature score. In mouse models, PD-L1 was induced in peritoneal disseminated tumors, where lymphocytes were prominent, but not in subcutaneous tumors. Depleting IFNGR1 resulted in lower PD-L1 expression and longer survival in peritoneal dissemination model. Injection of IFN-γ into subcutaneous tumors increased PD-L1 expression and tumor size, and PD-L1 depletion abrogated tumor growth. These data suggest that IFN-γ works as a tumor progressor through PD-L1 induction. The source of IFN-γ in ovarian cancer microenvironment and its biological effect to the tumor cells is unclear. The immortalized human ovarian surface epithelial cell line, HOSE-E7/hTERT (HOSE) was treated with IFN-γ and expression microarray analysis was performed, and probes showing significantly higher values in IFN-γ-added group were termed “IFN-γ signature genes (295 probes)”. We then applied this signature to our ovarian cancer microarray data, which included 75 ovarian cancer clinical samples, by means of ss-GSEA. IFN-γ signature score was strongly correlated to the number of infiltrating CD4-positive or CD8-positive lymphocytes in the tumors. These data suggest that the IFN-γ in the ovarian cancer microenvironment is derived from lymphocytes, and an IFN-γ-rich microenvironment is strongly correlated to a lymphocyte-rich microenvironment.

Conditional knock-out of Transferrin receptor 1 in Alb-cre H11-myc mice

Project description:Disrupted iron metabolism is commonly observed in various types of cancer. However, the role of iron signaling in controlling the tumor microenvironment and its clinical relevance remain unclear. We found that intra-tumoral iron signals stabilized PD-L1 protein, dampening CD8+ T cell responses and promoting tumor evasion. Blocking iron uptake decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell infiltration, leading to attenuated tumor growth. Mechanistically, iron preserved PD-L1 protein integrity by inhibiting its ubiquitination. Iron-induced lipid peroxidation in tumors promoted the generation of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which subsequently adducted to the PD-L1 cytoplasmic domain for its carbonylation. 4-HNE-mediated carbonylation outcompeted PD-L1 ubiquitination, resulting in PD-L1 protein stabilization. Finally, we introduced a designed peptide in tumor cells to diminish PD-L1 carbonylation by competing for 4-HNE availability. This led to decreased PD-L1 expression and enhanced CD8+ T cell immunity, hindering tumor growth. Importantly, such peptide therapy showed effective outcomes in anti-PD-L1 non-responding tumors. Thus, our findings reveal alternative strategies for overcoming PD-L1-mediated immune evasion in cancer.

Clonal deletion of tumor-specific T cells by IFN-g confers therapeutic resistance to combination immune checkpoint blockade

Project description:Combination immunotherapy is being developed with the goal of enhancing anti-tumor immunity. Despite remarkable clinical responses, most patients do not experience complete responses from combination checkpoint blockade treatments. Therefore, a need exists to further explore the mechanisms of resistance to these therapies. Here, we investigate whether tumor burden could be an important factor in determining the treatment outcomes of combination checkpoint blockade. We found that while combined anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 improves control of established tumors, this combination can paradoxically compromise anti-tumor immunity in the low tumor burden (LTB) state in pre-clinical models as well as in melanoma patients. This paradoxical outcome results from treatment-induced deletion of tumor-specific T cells that is mediated through IFN-γ. Activated tumor-specific T cells express higher levels of IFN-γ receptor and are more susceptible to apoptosis. As a result, combination treatment alters the T cell repertoire landscape, skewing the distribution of T cells toward lower frequency clonotypes. Deficiency of the IFN-γ receptor on immune cells restores anti-tumor activity. Additionally, tumor-specific T cells lacking the IFN-γ receptor demonstrate a significant survival advantage compared to their wild-type counterparts in tumor-bearing mice receiving combination therapy. Finally, we show that combination therapy induces significantly higher levels of IFN-γ in the low versus high tumor burden state on a per cell basis, reflecting their less exhausted immune status. This elevated IFN-γ secretion in the LTB state therefore contributes to the development of an immune-intrinsic mechanism of resistance to combination checkpoint blockade. Our report underscores the importance of achieving the optimal magnitude of immune stimulation for successful immunotherapy strategies.

Whole-transcriptome analysis of tumor tissues of lung adenocarcinoma reveals molecular changes under the influence of IFN-γ

Project description:IFN-γ is a critical cytokine which regulates both innate and adaptive immune. Ample evidences have elucidated the mechanisms of IFN-γ mediated antitumor effects, including driving T Helper Type 1 (Th1) polarization, activating cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) and natural killer T cells, upregulating major histocompatibility complex class I expression (MHC Class I) in tumor cells, and inhibiting tumor cells proliferation, inducing tumor cells apoptosis. Despite the multiple effects in cancer immune elimination phase (also known as cancer immune surveillance), IFN-γ also effectuates antitumor immunity and protumorigenic activities throughout the cancer immunoediting process including elimination phase and escape phase. One of the most important mechanism elucidating the dual effect of IFN-γ in immunoediting is IFN-γ induced PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. To obtain a detailed molecular appreciation of what was going on in tumor microenvironment under the influence of IFN-g, we performed global gene expression analysis using the Agilent oligonucleotide microarray system.
