Golgi-ER Axis Regulates Anti-Tumor T Cell Immunotherapeutic Response

ABSTRACT: The cumulative role of cellular organelle’s in shaping the life and function of a cell has been long acknowledged. While each organelle plays a specific role in the growth and development of T cells, numerous studies have thus far focused on targeting mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, or lysosome related pathways to improve anti-tumor T cell immune response. Here we highlight the tumor microenvironment (TME) mediated disruption of Golgi architecture and function, termed Golgi stress, contributes to altered redox signaling and affects cell survival. Importantly, the decreased expression if GM130, a marker of Golgi stress and indicating the disruption of Golgi architecture, was reverted upon treatment with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) donor GYY4137, or over expressing cystathionine β-synthase (Cbs), an enzyme involved in biosynthesis of endogenous H2S. Activation and expansion of tumor reactive TCR or chimeric antigen receptor bearing T cells expanded with exogenous H2S promoted stemness, antioxidant capacity and exhibited an increase effector cytokine secretion that correlated to increased protein translation. In in vivo models of melanoma and lymphoma, anti-tumor T cells conditioned ex vivo with exogenous H2S or overexpressing Cbs demonstrated superior tumor control upon ACT. Further, sorting anti- tumor T cells based on Golgi structure and abundance resulted in identification of a Golgihi subset of T cells with a unique metabolic signature, superior fitness, and enhanced anti-tumor capacity. These data suggest that H2S can be used an immunomodulatory agent to enhance the efficacy of ACT, and that the structure and function of the Golgi apparatus is an important feature of T cells that determines their anti-tumor capacity.

Project description:Recents studies in mice and humans demonstrated the relevance of H2S-synthesising enzymes (such as CTH, CBS and MPST) in adipose tissue physiology and preadipocyte differentiation into adipocytes. Here, we aimed to investigate the combined role of CTH, CBS and MPST in the preservation of adipocyte protein persulfidation and adipogenesis. Joint CTH, CBS and MPST gene knockdown was achieved treating fully human adipocytes with siRNAs against these transcripts (siRNA_MIX). Adipocyte protein persulfidation was analyzed by a mass spectrometry label-free quantitative approach coupled with a dimedone-switch method for protein labeling and purification. The proteomic analysis quantified 216 proteins with statistically different persulfidation levels in KD cells compared to control adipocytes. In fully differentiated adipocytes, CBS and MPST mRNA and protein levels were abundant, whereas CTH expression was very low. Of note, siRNA_MIX administration resulted in a significant decrease in CBS and MPST expression, without impacting on CTH. Dual CBS and MPST gene knockdown resulted in decreased expression of relevant genes for adipocyte biology, including adipogenesis, mitochondrial biogenesis and lipogenesis, but increased proinflammatory- and senescence-related genes, in parallel to a significant disruption in adipocyte protein persulfidation pattern. While among less persulfidated proteins, we identified several relevant proteins for adipocyte adipogenesis and function, among the most persulfidated, key mediators of adipocyte inflammation and dysfunction, but also some proteins that might have a positive role of adipogenesis were found. In conclusion, current study indicates that joint knockdown of CBS and MPST (but not CTH) in adipocytes impairs adipogenesis and promotes inflammation, possibly by disrupting the pattern of protein persulfidation in these cells, and suggesting that these enzymes were required for the functional maintenance of adipocytes.

Project description:The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S), produced by transsulfuration pathway, in recent years has been recognized as a biological mediator playing important role under normal conditions and in various pathologies both in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The transsulfuration pathway (TSP) includes the conversion of homocysteine to cysteine following the breakdown of methionine. In Drosophila melanogaster and other eukaryotes H2S is produced by cystathionine B-synthase (CBS), cystathionine y-lyase (CSE), and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulftransferase (MST). In the experiments reported here we were able exploring CRISPR technique to obtain single and double deletions of these three major genes responsible for H2S production. In most cases the deletion of one studied gene does not result in the compensatory induction of two other genes responsible for H2S production. Transcriptomic studies demonstrated that the deletions of the above genes alter the genome expression to different degree with more pronounced effect exerted by deletions of CBS gene. Furthermore, the double deletion of both CBS and CSE resulted in cumulative effect on the transcription in the resulted strains. Overall, we found that the obtained deletions affected numerous genes involved in various biological pathways. Characteristically, genes involved in oxidative reduction process, stress-response genes, house-keeping genes, genes participating in olfactory and reproduction were among the most affected. Furthermore, characteristic differences in the response to the deletions of the studied genes were apparently organ specific and have clear-cut gender character. Importantly, the deletions altered global methylation and chromatin state of the experimental strains by increasing the level of inactive chromatin of the genome. Single and double deletions of the three genes responsible for the production of H2S helped to understand new aspects of biological significance of this vital physiological mediator.
