RNAseq of CONTROL engineered and SMAD4 engineered Purified NK cells after 7 day treatment in the presence/absence of TGFb

ABSTRACT: TGF-β is a suppressive factor curtailing the effectiveness of NK cell adoptive transfer for cancer treatment. Inspired by data of SMAD4 haploinsufficient NK cells, we explored the possibility of knocking out SMAD4 by CRISPR/Cas9 in human NK cells as a novel strategy for circumventing TGF-β suppression. Human SMAD4KO NK cells were resistant to TGF-β inhibition, retaining their anti-tumor function and their proliferation in response to IL-2/IL-15. In addition, SMAD4KO NK cells exposed to TGF-β showed improved tumor-penetration, associated to changes in adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors. Indeed, the cytotoxic activity of SMAD4KO NK cells surpassed that of control NK cells treated with a TGF-β inhibitor, indirectly evidencing the advantage of maintaining SMAD4-independent TGF-β-signaling. Furthermore, SMAD4KO NK cells were also resistant to Activin A inhibition. Overall, disrupting TGF-β/activin A signaling by inactivating SMAD4 represents a promising strategy for simultaneously enhancing the homing and function of NK cell products for cancer immunotherapy.

CD137 costimulation counteracts TGFβ inhibition of NK cell anti-tumor function and promotes the acquisition of tissue-resident Th9-like properties [2 treatments]

Project description:Enhancing NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy by overcoming immunosuppression is an unmet goal. Here, we demonstrate the ability of the anti-CD137 agonist urelumab for overcoming TGF-β-mediated inhibition of human NK-cell proliferation and sustained anti-tumor function. Transcriptomic, immunophenotypic and functional analyses evidenced that CD137 costimulation modified the transcriptional program induced by TGF-β on activated NK cells by limiting SMAD4-dependent inhibition of pro-proliferative (CD25, cMyc), activating (NKG2D, CD16) and effector (Granzyme B, IFNγ) molecules while maintaining SMAD4-independent acquisition of tumor-retention features (CXCR3, CD103). Activated NK cells cultured in the presence of TGF-β1 and CD137 agonist showed preserved antibody-dependent cytotoxicity against cancer cells, recovered CCL5 and IFNγ secretion and gained the capacity for producing IL-9 upon restimulation. Treatment of breast tumor-derived multicellular cultures with trastuzumab and urelumab recapitulated CD137 induction and fostered tumor-infiltrating CD16+ NK cell persistence. Our data reveals CD137 as a targetable checkpoint for overturning TGF-β constrains on NK cell anti-tumor responses

Activin A and NK cell function

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a major role in immunosurveillance against tumor initiation and metastasis spread. Signals and checkpoints that regulate NK cell fitness and function in the tumor microenvironment are not well defined. Transforming grow factor (TGF)- is a recognized suppressor of NK cells that inhibits IL-15 dependent signaling events and induces cellular transdifferentiation, however the role of other SMAD signaling pathways in NK cells is unknown. We used a global, label-free proteomics approach to compare the protein expression profiles of NK cells in the presence of TGF-b or activin-A.

TGF-beta-independent function of SMAD4 preconditions naïve CD8 T-cells to prevent severe microbiota-driven chronic intestinal inflammation [ChIPseq]

Project description:SMAD4, a key mediator of TGF-beta signaling, plays a crucial role in T cells to prevent chronic intestinal inflammation through unknown mechanisms. We reveal that SMAD4 in CD8 T cells prevents chronic intestinal inflammation primarily in a TGF-beta-independent manner. Mechanistically, SMAD4, in CD8 T cells, acts as a basal and tonic repressor of TGF-beta-target genes at the transcriptional and epigenetic level, prior to any TGF-beta signal. SMAD4 deletion affects aberrantly a wide range of TGF-beta-target genes, thereby promoting accumulation and epithelial retention of CD8.alpha.beta T cells inversely to total TGF-beta signaling disruption. Moreover, SMAD4 deletion unleashes the expression of TGF-beta-signaling-repressors and hampers TGF-β-mediated CD8 T cell immunosuppression, eliciting their chronic activation. Hence, in a feedforward mechanism, SMAD4 both blocks the TGF-beta signature in CD8 T cells and pre-sensitizes them to TGF-beta.

Transcription profiling timecourse of induced DACH1 expression in a human breast cancer cell line

Project description:The vertebrate homologues of Drosophila dachsund, DACH1 and DACH2, have been implicated as important regulatory genes in development. DACH1 plays a role in retinal and pituitary precursor cell proliferation and DACH2 plays a specific role in myogenesis. DACH proteins contain a domain (DS-domain) that is conserved with the proto-oncogenes Ski and Sno. Since the Ski/Sno proto-oncogenes repress AP-1 and SMAD signaling, we hypothesized that DACH1 might play a similar cellular function. Herein, DACH1 was found to be expressed in breast cancer cell lines and to inhibit TGF-beta induced apoptosis. DACH1 repressed TGF-beta induction of AP-1 and Smad signaling in gene reporter assays and repressed endogenous TGF-beta responsive genes by microarray analyses. DACH1 bound to endogenous NCoR and Smad4 in cultured cells and DACH1 co-localized with NCoR in nuclear dot-like structures. NCoR enhanced DACH1 repression and the repression of TGF-beta-induced AP-1 or Smad-signaling by DACH1 required the DACH1 DS domain. The DS-domain of DACH was sufficient for NCoR-binding at a Smad4-binding site. Smad4 was required for DACH1 repression of Smad signaling. In Smad4 null HTB-134 cells, DACH1 inhibited the activation of SBE-4 reporter activity induced by Smad2 or Smad3 only in the presence of Smad4. DACH1 participates in the negative regulation of TGF-beta signaling by interacting with NCoR and Smad4.

Gene expression analyses of SMAD4 knockdown in pancreatic cell line

Project description:The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling protein SMAD4 is lost in 60% of PDAC, and this has been associated with poorer prognosis. We expressed SMAD4 in human PDAC cell lines BxPC3, by selection of stable clones containing an inducible SMAD4 Tet-ON construct. After 24h of SMAD4 expression, TGF-β signaling-dependent G1-arrest was observed in BxPC3 cells with an increase in the G1-phase fraction from 48.9% to 71.5%. Microarray analysis of gene expression at 8h, 24h, and 48h after SMAD4 expression characterized the regulatory impact of SMAD4 expression in a SMAD4-null PDAC cell line and identified novel targets of TGF-β signaling.

Identification of the gene transcription mediated by TGF-β-Smad2/3-Smad4 signaling

Project description:TGF-β signaling is known to be very much dependent on the formation of Smad2/3-Smad4 transcription regulatory complexes. However, the signaling functions of Smad2/3-Smad4 in TGF-β-induced responses are obscure as TGF-β also initiates a number of other signaling pathways. In this study, we systematically assessed the contribution of TGF-β-Smad2/3-Smad4 signaling to target gene transcription. Individual Smads were selectively knocked down in Hep3B cells by stable RNA interference (RNAi). We identified TGF-β-responsive genes using genome-wide oligonucleotide microarrays and confirmed their dependency on Smad2, Smad3 or Smad4 by the combination of RNAi and microarray assay. The major finding from our microarray analysis was that of the 2039 target genes seen to be regulated via TGF-β induction, 190 were differentially transcriptionally controlled by Smad2-Smad4 and Smad3-Smad4 signaling and the latter control mechanism appeared to be functionally more important. We also found evidence of competition between Smad2 and Smad3 for their activation when controlling the transcription of target genes. Keywords: cell type comparison

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis reveals high expression of activin A during NK-DC interactions

Project description:The interaction of natural killer (NK) cells with dendritic cells (DC) results in reciprocal cell activation through the interaction of membrane proteins and the release of soluble factors. Here we report that in NK-DC cocultures, among a set of 84 cytokines investigated, activin A was the second highest induced gene, with CXCL8 being the most upregulated one. Activin A is a member of the TGF-β superfamily and was previously shown to possess both pro- and antiinflammatory activities. In NK-DC cocultures, the induction of activin A required cell contact and was dependent on the presence of proinflammatory cytokines (i.e. IFN-γ, TNF-α and GM-CSF) as well as on NK cell-mediated DC killing. CD1+ DC were the main activin A producer cells among myeloid blood DC subsets. In NK-DC cocultures, inhibition of acitivn A by follistatin, a natural inhibitory protein, or by a specific blocking antibody, resulted in the upregulation of proinflammatory cytokine release (i.e. IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α) by DC and in the increase of DC maturation. In conclusion, our study reports that activin A, produced during NK-DC interactions, represents a relevant negative feedback mechanism that might function to prevent excessive immune activation by DC.

Dissecting the functional selectivity of TGFβ signaling pathway components using genome engineered human organotypic skin models

Project description:Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) signaling is essential in cell growth and differentiation. Yet, the role of the individual TGFβ signaling components in human tissue homeostasis and transformation is still incompletely understood. Here we dissected the importance of the core components in the TGFβ signaling pathway by CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of human keratinocytes. The edited keratinocytes were used for human organotypic skin cultures and global quantitative proteomics and phosphoproteomics by mass spectrometry. Characterization of cells and human organotypic skin tissues showed control of epithelial differentiation by Smad4-dependent TGF signaling through cell cycle regulation and ECM expression. In contrast, we found that the combined Smad4 dependent and independent pathways, governed by TGFβRII, controls epithelial homeostasis and prevents invasive growth by blocking epithelial inflammation and activation of p38 and ERK signaling. The study provides a framework for exploration of signaling pathways in human 3D tissue models and with global phosphoproteomics.
