Modified C-type natriuretic peptide normalizes tumor vasculature and improves solid tumor therapies

ABSTRACT: Deficit of oxygen and nutrients in the tumor microenvironment (TME) triggers abnormal angiogenesis that produces dysfunctional and leaky blood vessels, which fail to adequately perfuse tumor tissues. Resulting hypoxia, exacerbation of metabolic problems and generation of immunosuppressive TME undermine the efficacy of cancer treatment. These problems can be partially alleviated by angiogenesis inhibitors. Here we propose an alternative agonist-based normalization approach utilizing a derivative of the C-type natriuretic peptide (dCNP). This well-tolerated agent stimulated formation of highly functional tumor blood vessels to reduce hypoxia. Administration of dCNP also inhibited stromagenesis and reinvigorated the anti-tumor immune responses. Treatment with dCNP decelerated growth of primary tumors and suppressed their metastases. Moreover, inclusion of dCNP into the chemo-, radio- or immune-therapeutic regimens increased their efficacy against solid tumors. These results demonstrate the proof of principle for using activators of normalized angiogenesis to improve therapies against solid tumors and characterize dCNP as the first in class amongst such agents.

Loss-of-function genetic screening identifies ALDOA as an essential driver for hepatocellular carcinoma cell growth under hypoxia

Project description:Hypoxia is a common feature of tumor microenvironment (TME), which promotes tumor progression, metastasis and therapeutic drug resistance via a myriad of cell activities in tumor and stroma cells. While targeting hypoxic TME is emerging as a promising strategy for treating solid tumors, preclinical studies with this approach are lacking in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). From a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockout screening, we identified aldolase A (ALDOA), a key enzyme in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as a master driver for HCC cell growth under hypoxia. To delineate the functional implications of ALDOA in HCC, transcriptome sequencing is performed to interrogate the differential gene expression in ALDOA-knockdown HepG2 cells under hypoxia.

Inhibition of PARP11 inactivates tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells and improves the efficacy of immunotherapies.

Project description:Tumor-infiltrating regulatory T cells (TI-Tregs) elicit immunosuppressive effects in the tumor microenviroment (TME) leading to accelerated tumor growth and resistance to immunotherapies against solid tumors. Here we demonstrate that Poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase-11 (PARP11) acts as an essential regulator of TI-Tregs regulatory and protumorigenic activities. Expression of PARP11 correlated with TI-Treg infiltration and poor responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in human cancer patients. PARP11 was induced in the TI-Treg cells by tumor-derived factors including adenosine and prostaglandin E2. Knockout of PARP11 in the cells of the TME or treatment of tumor-bearing mice with selective PARP11 inhibitor ITK7 inactivated TI-Treg cells and reinvigorated anti-tumor immune responses. Accordingly, ITK7 decelerated tumor growth and significantly increased the efficacy of anti-tumor immunotherapies including ICB and adoptive transfer of CAR T cells. These results characterize PARP11 as a key driver of TI-Treg activities and a major regulator of immunosuppressive TME and argue for targeting PARP11 to augment anti-cancer immunotherapies.

3D microengineered vascularized tumor spheroid for drug delivery and efficacy testing

Project description:Tumor angiogenesis is regarded as a promising target for limiting cancer progression because tumor-associated vasculature supplies blood and provides a path for metastasis. Thus, in vitro recapitulation of vascularized tumors is critical to understand the pathology of cancer and identify the mechanisms by which tumor cells proliferate, metastasize, and respond to drugs. In this study, we microengineered a vascularized tumor spheroid (VTS) model to reproduce the pathological features of solid tumors. We first generated tumor cell-EC hybrid spheroids with self-assembled intratumoral vessels, which enhanced the uniformity of the spheroids and peritumoral angiogenic capacity compared to spheroids comprised only with cancer cells. Notably, the hybrid spheroid also exhibited expression profiles associated with aggressive behavior. The blood vessels sprouting around the hybrid spheroids on the VTS chip were interconnected with intratumoral vessels and displayed the distinctive characteristics of leaky tumor vessels. With the VTS chip showing a progressive tumor phenotype, we validated the suppressive effects of axitinib on tumor growth and angiogenesis, which depended on exposure dose and time, highlighting the significance of tumor vascularization to predict the efficacy of anticancer drugs. Ultimately, we effectively induced both lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis around the tumor spheroid by promoting interstitial flow. Thus, our VTS model is a valuable platform with which to investigate the interactions between tumor microenvironments and explore therapeutic strategies in cancer.

suppression of Pyruvate carboxylase in M-wnt tumors

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming an immune evasion are established hallmarks of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Growing evidence supports tumor metabolic dysregulation as an important mediator of tumor immune evasion. High TME levels of lactate potently suppress antitumor immunity. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), responsible for the anaplerotic conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, is essential for lung metastasis in breast cancer. Conversely, PC may be dispensable in some cells in the TME, with loss of PC associated with immunosuppression. Here we test whether PC suppression alters tumor metabolism and immunosuppression. Using multiple animal models of breast cancer, we identify a dimorphic role for PC expression in mammary cancer cells. PC supports metastatic colonization of the lungs; however, depletion of PC promotes primary tumor growth and suppresses histological and transcriptomic markers of antitumor immunity. We demonstrate that PC is potently suppressed by hypoxia, and that PC suppression is common in solid tumors, particularly those with higher levels of hypoxia. Using metabolomics, high resolution respirometry, and extracellular flux analysis, we show that PC-depleted cells produce more lactate and undergo less oxidative phosphorylation than scramble controls. Finally, we identify lactate metabolism as a targetable dependency of PC-depleted cells, which is sufficient to restore T cell populations to the TME of PC-depleted tumors. Taken together these data demonstrate that elevated lactate following PC suppression by hypoxia may be a key mechanism through which primary tumors limit antitumor immunity. Thus, these data highlight PC directed tumor metabolism is a nexus of tumor progression and antitumor immunity.

Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Obstructs CD8+ T-Cell Lipid Utilization in the Tumor Microenvironment

Project description:The solid tumor microenvironment (TME) imprints a compromised metabolic state in tumor infiltrating T cells (TILs) hallmarked by the inability to maintain effective energy synthesis for antitumor function and survival. T cells in the TME must catabolize lipids via mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to supply energy in nutrient stress, and it is established that T cells enriched in FAO are adept at cancer control. However, endogenous TILs and unmodified cellular therapy products fail to sustain bioenergetics in tumors. Using patient samples and mouse models, we reveal that the solid TME imposes perpetual acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity, invoking lipid biogenesis and storage in TILs that directly opposes FAO. Using metabolic, lipidomic, and confocal imaging strategies, we find that restricting ACC rewires T cell metabolism, enabling energy maintenance in TME stress. Moreover, limiting ACC activity potentiates a gene and phenotypic program indicative of T cell longevity, engendering T cells with increased survival and polyfunctionality, with the ability to control solid cancer.

Integrated Omics Profiling Identifies Hypoxia-Regulated Genes in HCT116 Colon Cancer Cells

Project description:Hypoxia is associated with poor prognosis in most solid tumors due to its multiple effects on therapy resistance, angiogenesis, apoptotic resistance, and tumor invasion/metastasis. Here we used a comprehensive omics profiling to investigate hypoxia-regulated gene expression in HCT116 colon cancer cells. Quantitative analyses of proteome and secretome were performed in HCT116 cells cultured under hypoxic or normoxic conditions. A total of 5,700 proteins were quantified in proteome analysis and 722 proteins were quantified in secretome analysis. Both datasets were combined with the transcriptome and translatome datasets for further analysis. Verification of candidate proteins/genes in this integrated omics analysis was performed using immunoblotting and quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses. We also performed polysome profiling to assess changes in translational efficiency of hypoxia-induced genes. Notably, several genes were differently regulated at the transcriptional and translational levels in HCT116 cells during hypoxia. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that hypoxia regulates translation of genes involved in extracellular matrix organization, extracellular exosomes, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. Aberrations in these metabolic pathways appear to be correlated with an increased risk of tumor invasion/metastasis.

Immunologic and clinical activity to ICB combinations in DAPPER Leiomyosarcoma cohort

Project description:Non-inflamed (cold) tumors such as leiomyosarcoma (LMS) do not benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) monotherapy. Combining ICB with angiogenesis-, or poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors may increase tumor immunogenicity by altering the immune cell composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The DAPPER phase II study evaluated the safety, immunologic, and clinical activity of ICB-based combinations in pre-treated LMS patients.

Inactivation of interferon signaling promotes the establishment of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in colorectal cancers

Project description:Tumors arise and grow despite anti-cancer immune responses. These responses can be stimulated by immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD1 antibodies) and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). Efficacy of these agents in solid tumors including colorectal cancers (CRC) is limited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that prevents killing of malignant cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Understanding the nature of TME-generated immunosuppression is of paramount importance. Here we report that TME elicited immunosuppression via eliminating activated CTL; this elimination required TME stress-induced downregulation of the IFNAR1 chain of type I interferon (IFN) receptor and attenuation of its signaling. Downregulation of IFNAR1 was observed in human colorectal cancers (CRC) and in mouse CRC models where it was required for efficient tumor development and progression. Stabilization of IFNAR1 on CTL improved their survival and increased anti- tumor activities of CAR T cells and PD1 inhibitors thereby providing a rationale for targeting IFNAR1 degradation for immunotherapies optimization. Two genotypes of mice were examined either 9 or 21 days post injection of MC38 colon cancer cells or MC38mRFP cells, respectively. 2-3 replicate mice were analyzed on separate arrays for each condition. 6 conditions in total were analyzed.
