Robust antitumor activity of a de novo interleukin-21 mimic

ABSTRACT: A long-standing goal of cancer immunotherapy is to activate cytotoxic antitumor T cells across a broad range of affinities and dampen suppressive regulatory T (Treg) cell responses, but current approaches achieve these goals with limited success. Here, we report a de novo IL-21 mimic, 21h10, designed to have augmented stability and high signaling potency in both humans and mice. In multiple animal models, 21h10 showed robust antitumor activity, exceeding that of native IL-21 for murine melanoma, inducing a rapid regression of murine adenocarcinoma, and exhibiting potent activity in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer model that is refractory to conventional immunotherapies. In the tumor microenvironment, 21h10 induced highly cytotoxic antitumor T cells from clonotypes with a range of affinities for endogenous tumor antigens, driving high expression of interferon- (IFN- ) and granzyme B compared to native IL-21, while in the CD4+ T cell compartment, the frequency of IFN- + Th1 cells was increased while Foxp3+ Treg cells were reduced. Thus, 21h10 is a highly active IL-21 mimic with human-mouse cross-reactivity that potentiates low-affinity antitumor responses and has considerable translational potential.

Dynamic and distinct transcriptional response of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to tissue alarmins and adaptive cytokines

Project description:The respective effects of tissue alarmins like interleukin (IL)-15 and interferon beta (IFNb), and cytokines like IL-21 on the intraepithelial cytotoxic T lymphocytes (IE-CTLs) that cause autoimmune-mediated tissue destruction, is poorly understood. Analysis of the dynamics of transcriptomic and epigenomic profiles in primary IE-CTLs showed massive and distinct temporal transcriptional changes upon induction by tissue alarmins IL-15 and IFNb, while the impact of IL-21 was limited. Only anti-viral pathways were induced in response to all the three stimuli. Interestingly, the dynamically differentially expressed genes (DEGs), in particular genes in involved in IFN pathways, are enriched in autoimmune diseases risk loci. Changes in gene expression were primarily independent of changes in H3K27ac, but were enriched in differentially expressed non-coding (nc) RNAs. Together these results provide new insights into molecular mechanisms that fuel the activation of tissue resident CTLs under conditions that mimic aspects of the inflammatory environment in patients with immune-mediated diseases

Amphiregulin couples IL1RL1+ regulatory T cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts to inhibit antitumor immunity

Project description:We demonstrated that IL-33 induced strong CD8+ T cell antitumor immune responses characterized by robust clonal expansion and vigorous functional diversification. Nonetheless, IL-33 also produced intense regulatory T cell (Treg) accumulation in the TME, dominated by the IL1RL1+ Treg subset. We further showed that IL1RL1 signaling in Treg cells greatly dampened the antitumor activity of IL-33.

Commensal bacteria promote type I interferon signaling to maintain immune tolerance in mice

Project description:Type I interferons (IFNs) exert a broad range of biological effects important in coordinating immune responses, which have classically been studied in the context of pathogen clearance. Yet, whether immunomodulatory bacteria operate through IFN pathways to support intestinal immune tolerance remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the commensal bacterium, Bacteroides fragilis, utilizes canonical antiviral pathways to modulate intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T cell (Treg) responses. Specifically, IFN signaling is required for commensal-induced tolerance, as IFNAR1-deficient DCs display blunted IL-10 and IL-27 production in response to B. fragilis. We further establish that IFN-driven IL-27 in DCs is critical in shaping the ensuing Foxp3+ Treg via IL27Ra signaling. Consistent with these findings, single cell RNA sequencing of gut Tregs demonstrated that colonization with B. fragilis promotes a distinct IFN gene signature in Foxp3+ Tregs during intestinal inflammation. Altogether, our findings demonstrate a critical role of commensal-mediated immune tolerance via tonic type I IFN signaling.

Lactate dehydrogenase inhibition synergizes with IL-21 to promote CD8+ T cell stemness and antitumor immunity

Project description:Interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-21 dichotomously shape CD8+ T cell differentiation. IL-2 drives terminal differentiation, generating cells that are poorly effective against tumors, whereas IL-21 promotes stem cell memory T cells (TSCM) and antitumor responses. Here we investigated the role of metabolic programming in the developmental differences induced by these cytokines. IL-2 promoted effector-like metabolism and aerobic glycolysis, robustly inducing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and lactate production, whereas IL-21 maintained a metabolically quiescent state dependent on oxidative phosphorylation. LDH inhibition rewired IL-2–induced effects, promoting pyruvate entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle and inhibiting terminal effector and exhaustion programs, including mRNA expression of members of the NR4A family of nuclear receptors, as well as Prdm1 and Xbp1. While deletion of Ldha prevented development of cells with antitumor effector function, transient LDH inhibition enhanced the generation of memory cells capable of triggering robust antitumor responses after adoptive transfer. LDH inhibition did not significantly affect IL-21–induced metabolism but caused major transcriptomic changes, including the suppression of IL-21–induced exhaustion markers LAG3, PD1, 2B4, and TIM3. LDH inhibition combined with IL-21 increased the formation of TSCM cells, resulting in more profound antitumor responses and prolonged host survival. These findings indicate a pivotal role for LDH in modulating cytokine-mediated T cell differentiation and underscore the therapeutic potential of transiently inhibiting LDH during adoptive T cell-based immunotherapy, with an unanticipated cooperative antitumor effect of LDH inhibition and IL-21.

Distinct roles for IL-27 and IFN-g in the development of T-bet+ Treg required to limit infection-induced pathology

Project description:IL-27 is a potent antagonist of TH1-mediated inflammation, but the basis for this effect is not fully understood. Recent studies identified a population of T-bet+ CXCR3+ Treg that limit TH1-mediated immune pathology. The studies presented here demonstrate that IL-27-mediated STAT1 activation promotes Treg expression of T-bet and CXCR3. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii induced a similar Treg population that limits T cell responses and this population at mucosal sites is IL-27-dependent. Furthermore, transfer of Treg ameliorated the infection-induced CD4+ T cell-mediated pathology observed in IL-27p28-/- mice. Although IFN-γ promoted a similar population of cells in the periphery, it did not compensate for the absence of IL-27 at mucosal sites and microarray analysis revealed that Treg exposed to either cytokine have distinct transcriptional profiles. These findings suggest that IFN-γ and IL-27 have different roles in Treg biology but define IL-27 as a key cytokine that promotes the development of Treg specialized to control TH1 immunity. Three conditions were analyzed across two timepoints. Inducible regulatory T cells (iTreg) were generated in vitro in the presence of IL-27, IFNg or under 'Neutral' conditions as a control. Samples were collected at 10 hours and 2 days during the culture period. Three biological replicates were used for each condition.

RNA-seq of in vitro derived B cells

Project description:IFN-γ has been reported to be the ABC-promoting cytokine combined with signaling from IL-21, CD40L, Ag-BCR and TLR7 agonist. Hence, we adopted the in vitro differentiation cocktails (anti-IgM, R848, anti-CD40, IL-21 plus IFN-γ or IL-4) to determine the role of IFN-γ in ABC differentiation. Mouse splenic B cells were purified by negative selection and cultured in the presence of the above cocktails. Compared with IL-4, IFN-γ-polarized cells preferentially differentiated to ABC-like cells. And RNA-seq were performed on IFN-γ-polarized cells and IL-4-polarized cells.

Protein kinase inhibitor-mediated immunoprophylactic and immunotherapeutic control of colon cancer

Project description:An innovative multikinase inhibitor (H89)-based antitumor immunotherapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) is presented. The study was designed to evaluate the effect of H89 on colon tumor growth and carcinogenesis through in vivo analyses. Syngeneic mouse models of CRC cancer in BALB/c mice and chemically colon tumorigenesis, reveals that H89 delays colon oncogenesis, related to a preventive effect, and prevents tumor growth, underlying an antitumor effect respectively. Using immunodeficient and monoclonal antibody-specific immunosuppression, we identified immune cell populations involved in the preventive (NK-cell dependent) and antitumor activity of H89 (T-cell dependent). Flow cytometry analysis showed that the antitumor effect of H89 was correlated with an increase in the tumor microenvironment of CD4+ Th1 cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells and a decrease of CD4+ Treg cells infiltration. Furthermore, qRT-PCR revealed that H89 can promote naïve CD4+ T cells differentiation into Th1, decreases Treg differentiation and increases ex vivo CD8+ T cell-mediated killing of cancer cells. An RNAseq profiling experiment showed that H89 induces an overexpression of genes involved in antitumor immune response, such as IL-15RA, whose inhibition counteracts the antitumor effect of H89. In conclusion, our findings identify H89 as a potential strategy for the prevention and treatment of CRC.

Specific targeting of the common gamma chain blocks cooperative reprogramming of human tissue-resident cytotoxic T lymphocytes by IL-15 and IL-21

Project description:The common gamma chain (γc) is required for productive signaling by interleukin (IL)-15, IL-21 and IL-2, which are critically involved in immune activation and regulation. IL-21 and IL-15 are implicated in the pathogenesis of type-1 diabetes, graft-versus-host disease, and celiac disease (CeD), a gluten-mediated autoimmune-like enteropathy. Attempts to treat type-1 diabetes and graft-versus-host disease with biologics targeting one particular cytokine have failed. Both IL-15 and IL-21 have been suggested to drive activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) that are the effectors mediating tissue destruction in CeD and organ-specific autoimmune disorders. We show that the concomitant upregulation of IL-15 and IL-21 occurs only in full-blown CeD with villous atrophy. BNZ-2, a peptide that targets the γc, was able to block the cooperative IL-15/IL-21 mediated transcriptional activation of human tissue-resident intraepithelial CTL. Importantly, this inhibition was specific and did not interfere with IL-2 signaling, a cytokine with known immunoregulatory functions. Moreover, BNZ-2 blocked gluten-induced IFN-γ production in small intestinal organ cultures from CeD patients. These observations identify BNZ-2 as a therapeutic candidate for immune disorders in which IL-15 and IL-21 cooperate to induce CTL-mediated tissue damage.
