Comprehensive single-cell immune profiling of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes in acral lentiginous melanoma with therapeutic implications.

ABSTRACT: Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the most common melanoma subtype in non-Caucasians. Despite significant advances in cancer immunotherapy, current immune checkpoint inhibitors remain unsatisfactory for ALM. Hence, we conducted a comprehensive immune profiling using single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing analysis, along with the reactivity screening of TCRs of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in ALM. We identified tumor-reactive CD8 T cell populations, primarily exhibiting an exhausted state, within multiple phenotypic subsets of TILs in ALM. In comparison to cutaneous melanoma, clusters with tumor-reactive phenotype presented a lower abundance, and enrichment of Treg cells were observed, suggesting suppressive immune microenvironment of ALM. We found a heterogeneous expression of co-inhibitory molecules in tumor-reactive CD8 TILs, with a subpopulation of activated T cells that was rich in genes related to cytotoxicity and marked by the expression of KLRC1 (NKG2A), a suppressive co-inhibitory molecule with therapeutic implications. Overall, our study provides a foundation for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in ALM.

Molecular bases for tumor induced exhaustion in CD8 T cells

Project description:The immune system can recognize and respond to tumors. However there are some conditions in which the genetic instability and heterogeneity of tumor cells leads to the development of variants that can escape the immune system. T cells have infiltrated inside many tumors (Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes or TILs), but generally these TILs have lost their functional capacity and are unable to eliminate tumor cells. We developed a model of autochthonous melanoma in mice that recapitulates some aspects of inflammatory melanoma in humans. These include a systemic Th2/Th17-oriented chronic inflammation, recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells and acquisition by TILs of an M-bM-^@M-^\exhaustedM-bM-^@M-^] phenotype characterized by expression of receptors for multiple inhibitory molecules. To address the molecular bases for the M-bM-^@M-^\exhaustedM-bM-^@M-^] TILs phenotype, we performed transcriptomic analyses on sorted CD8 or T cells from the induced melanomas. These transcriptomes were compared to those of naM-CM-/ve CD8 T cells and of CD8 T cells immunized with a virus. 10 samples, 3 replicates for controls (untreated and infected with AdP1A), 4 replicates for TILs CD8 from melanoma

Epithelial Ovarian Cancer is infiltrated by activated effector T cells co-expressing CD39, PD-1, TIM-3, CD137 and interacting with cancer cells and myeloid cells

Project description:Introduction: Despite predicted efficacy, immunotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has limited clinical benefit and the prognosis of patients remains poor. There is thus a strong need for better identifying local immune dynamics and immune-suppressive pathways limiting T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity. Methods: In this observational study we analyzed by immunohistochemistry, gene expression profiling and flow cytometry the antigenic landscape and immune composition of 48 EOC specimens, with a focus on tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Results: Activated T cells showing features of partial exhaustion with a CD137+CD39+PD-1+TIM-3+CD45RA-CD62L-CD95+ surface profile were exclusively present in EOC specimens but not in corresponding peripheral blood or ascitic fluid, indicating that the tumor microenvironment might sustain this peculiar phenotype. Interestingly, while neoplastic cells expressed several tumor-associated antigens possibly able to stimulate tumor-specific TILs, macrophages provided both co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals and were more abundant in TILs-enriched specimens harboring the CD137+CD39+PD-1+TIM-3+CD45RA-CD62L-CD95+ signature. Conclusions: These data demonstrate that EOC is enriched in CD137+CD39+PD-1+TIM-3+CD45RA-CD62L-CD95+ T lymphocytes, a phenotype possibly modulated by antigen recognition on neoplastic cells and by a combination of inhibitory and co-stimulatory signals largely provided by infiltrating myeloid cells. Furthermore, we have identified immunosuppressive pathways potentially hampering local immunity which might be targeted by immunotherapeutic approaches

We developed a model of autochthonous melanoma in mice that recapitulates some aspects of inflammatory melanoma in humans. These include a systemic Th2/Th17-oriented chronic inflammation, recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells and acquisition by TILs of an “exhausted” phenotype characterized by expression of receptors for multiple inhibitory molecules. To address the molecular bases for the “exhausted” TILs phenotype, we performed transcriptomic analyses on sorted CD8 or T cells from the induced melanomas. These transcriptomes were compared to those of naïve CD8 T cells and of CD8 T cells immunized with a virus.

Expression data from FACS-sorted CD8+BTLA+ vs CD8+BTLA- Human Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes in Metastatic Melanoma

Project description:Adoptive T-cell Therapy (ACT) involves using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) isolated from metastatic melanoma and expanding them ex vivo prior to infusion into lympho-depleted patients. This is one of the most promising approaches to treat metastatic melanoma, with the rates of clinical response between 48-50% based on studies done at NCI, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX), and Sheba Medical Center (Tel Aviv, Israel). In the Phase II ACT Trial at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center , our group has uncovered an association between positive clinical response and the amount of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes expressing B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA), a reported inhibitory receptor on T-cells. We used microarrays to detail the differences in the global programme of gene expression between CD8+BTLA+ vs CD8+BTLA- TILs in order to understand the molecular basis of the clinical association. TILs were isolated by enzymatically digest the melanoma tumor fragments obtained from Stage IIIc/IV melanoma patients at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The TILs were expanded with high-dose IL-2 for two weeks prior to sorting by FACS (fluoresecence-activated cell sorter) for CD8+BTLA+ and CD8+BTLA- susbets. RNA was extracted from each sorted subsets and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays

RNA-binding Protein PCBP1/hnRNP E1 is an Intracellular Checkpoint for Balancing Effector versus Regulatory T Cells

Project description:Distinct lineages of T cells can act in response to various environmental cues to either drive or restrict immune-mediated pathology. Immunotherapy involving the block of cell surface immune checkpoints CTLA-4 and PD-1/PD-L1 has revolutionized cancer treatment across a wide spectrum of malignancies. However, additional immune regulatory mechanisms remain to be discovered, and will facilitate development of next generation agents to overcome resistance to current therapies. We now report that the RNA-binding protein, PCBP1, is critical for stabilizing effector T cell functions by limiting expression of T effector cell-intrinsic Treg-commitment programs and subverting expression of immune-suppressive signals. Indeed, T cell-specific deletion of Pcbp1 increased Treg development, enlisted multiple inhibitory checkpoint molecules including PD-1, TIGIT and VISTA on TILs, and thwarted anti-tumor immunity. Our results demonstrate a critical role for PCBP1 as an intracellular checkpoint for balancing effector versus Treg cells and also suggest PCBP1 as a novel target for cancer immunotherapy.

The immune suppressive tumor microenvironment affects efficacy of radio-immunotherapy in breast-to-brain metastasis

Project description:The tumor microenvironment in brain metastases is characterized by high myeloid cell content with immune-suppressive and cancer-permissive functions. Moreover, brain metastases induce the recruitment of lymphocytes. Despite their presence, T cell-directed therapies fail to elicit effective anti-tumor immune responses. Here we seek to evaluate the applicability of radio-immunotherapy to modulate tumor immunity and overcome inhibitory effects that diminish anti-cancer activity. Radiotherapy-induced immune modulation resulted in an increase in cytotoxic T cell numbers and prevented the induction of lymphocyte-mediated immune suppression. Radio-immunotherapy led to significantly improved tumor control with prolonged median survival in experimental breast-to-brain metastases. However, long-term efficacy was not observed. Recurrent brain metastases showed accumulation of blood-borne PD-L1+ myeloid cells after radio-immunotherapy indicating the establishment of an immune-suppressive environment to counteract re-activated T cell responses. This finding was further supported by transcriptional analyses indicating a crucial role for monocyte-derived macrophages in mediating immune-suppression and regulating T cell function. Therefore, selective targeting of immune suppressive functions of myeloid cells is expected to be critical for improved therapeutic efficacy of radio-immunotherapy in brain metastases.

Crosslinking of Ly6a metabolically reprograms CD8 T cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:T cell inhibitory mechanisms prevent autoimmune reactions, while cancer immunotherapy aims to remove these inhibitory signals, Chronic UV exposure attenuates autoimmunity through promotion of unknown immune-suppressive mechanisms. Here we showed that mice with subcutaneous melanoma were not responsive to anti-PD1 immunotherapy following chronic UV irradiation, given prior to tumor injection, due to the suppression of T cell killing ability in skin-draining lymph nodes. Using mass cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing analyses, we discovered that skin-specific, UV-induced suppression of T-cells killing activity is mediated by upregulation of Ly6ahigh T-cells subpopulation. Independently of the UVB effect, Ly6ahigh T cells were induced by chronic type-1 interferon in the tumor microenvironment. Treatment with an anti-Ly6a antibody enhanced the anti-tumoral cytotoxic activity of T cells and reprogrammed their mitochondrial metabolism via the Erk/cMyc axis. Remarkably, treatment with anti-Ly6a antibody significantly inhibited tumor growth in mice resistant to anti-PD1 therapy. Applying our findings in humans could lead to a new immunotherapy treatment for patients with resistance to existing treatments.

Combined blockade of B7-H3 and CD47 immune checkpoints is a new therapeutic strategy for β-catenin driven melanomas [YUMMER1.7]

Project description:In melanoma, immune cell infiltration into the tumor is associated with better patient outcomes and response to immunotherapy. T cell non-inflamed tumors (‘cold tumors’) are associated with tumor cell intrinsic Wnt/β-catenin activation, and are resistant to anti-PD-1 alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 therapy. Reversal of the ‘cold tumor’ phenotype and identifying new effective immunotherapies are challenges in melanoma. In a well-established preclinical melanoma model driven by β-catenin, we found that immune checkpoint molecule B7-H3 confers a suppressive tumor microenvironment by modulating antiviral signals and matricellular proteins. Its inhibition primes the microenvironment, and together with blockade of the macrophage checkpoint CD47, but not with anti-PD-1, results in synergistic anti-tumor responses. This study brings B7-H3 to the forefront as inducing a suppressive microenvironment when overexpressed, and it’s co-targeting with CD47 as a novel combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors in melanoma that calls for testing in clinical trials.
