Project description:In this study, we develop a scalable approach that pairs discovery of cis- and trans-acting elements to systematically decipher the gene regulatory network. We explore the regulation of the immune checkpoint PD-L1 under both basal and IFNγ-stimulated contexts. PD-L1 expression on tumor cells serves as a clinically-actionable diagnostic for immune checkpoint blockade therapy across multiple cancer types.

Project description:While immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICBT) benefits cancer patients, many fail to maintain their response due to adaptive resistance mechanisms. IFNγ is critical for cellular immunity, but also promotes adaptive resistance to ICBT. We have established a role for PARP14 in mediating IFNγ-induced adaptive resistance. We confirm that chronic pre-treatment of tumour cells with IFNγ confers resistance to α-PD-1 antibodies in syngeneic mouse tumour models. We identified that PARP14 was consistently upregulated in cancer cells treated chronically with IFNγ as well as in IFNγ-high melanoma samples. Further, we showed that PARP14 knockdown or pharmacological inhibition restores sensitivity to α-PD-1 antibodies accompanied by increased immune cell infiltration into tumours but the decreased presence of regulatory T cells. RNA sequencing analysis of tumours and cultured cells treated with PARP14 inhibitor showed an upregulation of inflammatory-related pathways. In conclusion, PARP14 is an actionable target for reversing IFNγ-driven adaptive resistance to ICBT.

Project description:The expression of inhibitory immune checkpoint molecules such as PD-L1 is frequently observed in human cancers and can lead to the suppression of T-cell mediated immune responses. Here we apply ECCITE-seq, a technology which combines pooled CRISPR screens with single-cell mRNA and surface protein measurements, to explore the molecular networks that regulate PD-L1 expression. We also develop a computational framework, mixscape, that substantially improves the signal-to-noise ratio in single-cell perturbation screens by identifying and removing confounding sources of variation. Applying these tools, we identify and validate regulators of PD-L1, and leverage our multi-modal data to identify both transcriptional and post-transcriptional modes of regulation. In particular, we discover that the kelch-like protein KEAP1 and the transcriptional activator NRF2, mediate levels of PD-L1 upregulation after IFNγ stimulation. Our results identify a novel mechanism for the regulation of immune checkpoints and present a powerful analytical framework for the analysis of multi-modal single-cell perturbation screens.

Project description:An unmet need in cancer treatment is identification of biomarkers of response to PD-1 or PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors that predict therapeutic outcomes in patients with non–small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and urothelial cancer (UC). Expression of PD-L1 measured by immunohistochemistry has limited capacity for predicting outcomes of immune checkpoint therapy because expression of this biomarker does not correlate highly with treatment response. In addition, PD-L1 as measured on tumor cells, which has been approved by the FDA for both companion and complementary diagnostic utility, does not necessarily reflect anti-tumor activity of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Results presented in this report demonstrate that gene expression levels of four interferon gamma (IFNγ)-inducible mRNAs correlate with improved clinical outcomes in patients with NSCLC or UC treated with the PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab. This IFNγ gene signature may augment the predictive value of PD-L1 and other biomarkers in identifying cancer patients most likely to respond to therapy with durvalumab or other immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Project description:Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 have revolutionized cancer treatment but can trigger autoimmune complications including CPI-induced diabetes (CPI-DM), which occurs preferentially with PD-1 blockade. We found evidence of pancreatic inflammation in patients with CPI-DM with shrinkage of pancreases, increased pancreatic enzymes, and in a case from a patient who died with CPI-DM, peri-islet lymphocytic infiltration. In the NOD mouse model, anti-PD-L1 but not anti-CTLA-4 induces DM rapidly. RNA sequencing revealed that cytolytic IFNγ+ CD8+ T cells infiltrated islets with anti-PD-L1. Changes in β cells were predominantly driven by IFNγ and TNFα and included induction of a novel β cell population with transcriptional changes suggesting dedifferentiation. IFNγ increased checkpoint ligand expression and activated apoptosis pathways in human β cells in vitro. Treatment with anti-IFNγ and anti-TNFα prevented CPI-DM in anti-PD-L1 treated NOD mice. CPIs targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway result in transcriptional changes in β cells and immune infiltrates that may lead to the development of diabetes. Inhibition of inflammatory cytokines can prevent CPI-DM, suggesting a strategy for clinical application to prevent this complication.

Project description:The immune checkpoint programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is expressed on the cell surface of tumor cells and is key for maintaining an immunosuppressive microenvironment through its interaction with the programmed death 1 (PD-1). Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly immunogenic cancer characterized by an aberrant aerobic glycolytic metabolism and is known to overexpress PD-L1. Multiple immunotherapies have been approved for the treatment of ccRCC, including cytokines and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Recently the intrinsic role of PD-L1 and interferon gamma (IFNγ) signaling have been studied in several types of tumor cells, yet it remains unclear how they affect the metabolism and signaling pathways of ccRCC. Using metabolomics, metabolic assays and RNAseq, we showed that IFNγ enhanced aerobic glycolysis and tryptophan metabolism in ccRCC cells in vitro and induced the transcriptional expression of signaling pathways related to inflammation, cell proliferation and cellular energetics. These metabolic and transcriptional effects were partially reversed following transient PD-L1 silencing. Aerobic glycolysis, as well as signaling pathways related to inflammation, were not induced by IFNγ when PD-L1 was silenced, however, tryptophan metabolism and activation of Jak2 and STAT1 were maintained. Our data demonstrate that PD-L1 expression is required to mediate some of IFNγ’s effect in ccRCC cells and highlight the importance of PD-L1 signaling in regulating the metabolism of ccRCC cells in response to inflammatory signals.
