Suppression of melanoma by mice lacking MHC-II: mechanisms and implications for cancer immunotherapy

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors interfere with T cell exhaustion but often fail to cure or control cancer long-term in patients. Using a genetic screen in C57BL/6J mice, we discovered a mutation in host H2-Aa that caused strong immune-mediated resistance to mouse melanomas. H2-Aa encodes an MHC class II α chain, and its absence in C57BL/6J mice eliminates all MHC-II expression. H2-Aa deficiency, specifically in dendritic cells (DC), led to a quantitative increase in type 2 conventional DC (cDC2) and a decrease in cDC1. H2-Aa–deficient cDC2, but not cDC1, were essential for melanoma suppression and effectively cross-primed and recruited CD8 T cells into tumors. Lack of T regulatory cells, also observed in H2-Aa deficiency, contributed to melanoma suppression. Acute disruption of H2-Aa was therapeutic in melanoma-bearing mice, particularly when combined with checkpoint inhibition, which had no therapeutic effect by itself. Our findings suggest that inhibiting MHC-II may be an effective immunotherapeutic approach to enhance immune responses to cancer.

cDC1 prime and are licensed by CD4+ T cells to induce anti-tumour immunity

Project description:CD4 T cells are thought to help promote anti-tumour responses by ‘licensing’ antigen presenting cells (APCs) that activate CD8 T cells. Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) are responsible for cross-presentation of tumour-derived antigens to CD8 T cells. Prevailing models presume that the cDC1 is licensed by CD4 T cells that are themselves activated by a distinct cDC subset, the cDC2. The recent finding that neoantigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules can promote rejection of tumours that lack MHC class II (MHC-II) surface expression is consistent with an indirect action of CD4 T cells, such as cDC1 licensing. However, no study has directly identified the APC that primes the CD4 T cells responsible for licensing or clearly identified the target of CD4 licensing in vivo. Here, we generated cDC1-specific Cre expressing mouse strain to inactivate or induce expression of MHC-I, MHC-II, or CD40 specifically within the cDC1 lineage. Using a tumour model that relies on CD8 T cells and CD4 T cells for rejection, we discovered that early priming of CD4 T cells against tumour-derived antigens, in contrast to soluble antigens, relied overwhelmingly on the cDC1 and not the cDC2. cDC1 do not simply transport antigen to lymph nodes for processing by cDC2, since lack of MHC-II expression on cDC1 prevented CD4 T cell priming. We also found that CD40 signaling not only affects licensing of cDC1 for CD8 T cell priming, but is also critical for the activation of CD4 T cells. Thus, in the setting of tumour-derived antigens, cDC1 can function as an autonomous platform, capable of priming both CD4 and CD8 T cells and orchestrating their cross-talk required for optimal anti-tumour immunity.

A lncRNA identifies Irf8 enhancer element in negative feedback control of dendritic cell differentiation

Project description:Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen presenting cells that develop from multipotent progenitors (MPP) and DC committed common DC progenitors (CDP) and further differentiate into different subsets: classical DC type 1 and 2 (cDC1 and cDC2, respectively) and plasmacytoid DC (pDC). In this study MPP, CDP, cDC1, cDC2 and pDC were obtained in a two-step in vitro culture system according to Felker et al., J. Immunol. 185, 5326-5335, 2010. Briefly, mouse bone marrow cells were first amplified with a specific cytokine cocktail and then induced to differentiate into DC with Flt3 ligand. MPP, CDP, cDC1, cDC2 and pDC were obtained by FACS sorting as follows: MPP: Gr1- CD117hi CD135low/-; CDP: Gr1- CD117int CD135+ CD115+; cDC1: CD11c+ CD11blow/- XCR1+; cDC2: CD11c+ CD11b+ XCR1- and pDC: CD11c+ CD11b- B220+. FACS sorted cells were then subjected to Omni-ATAC-seq, nuclear-titrated (NuTi) Capture-C targeting Irf8 promoter, and RNA-seq analysis. ATAC-seq data of cDC1 and pDC are published (Li et al., Genome Biol. 20, 45, 2019; GSE118221). ATAC-seq data of MPP, CDP and cDC2, NuTi Capture-C and RNA-seq data of MPP, CDP, cDC1, cDC2 and pDC are published here. CD11c+ CD11b+ B220- cDC and CD11c+ CD11b- B220+ pDC were obtained by FACS sorting and subjected to ChIP-seq analysis of IRF8 and are published here.

RNA-seq of dendritic cell subsets

Project description:Comparison of cDC1, cDC2, mcDC transcriptome Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are classically subdivided in two subsets, named cDC1 and cDC2. We demonstrated that mcDC are a new subset of cDCs. To understand their transcriptomic relatedness, we perform a RNA sequencing on cDC1, cDC2 and mcDCs sorted from mouse spleens. We demonstrate that cDC1, cDC2 and mcDCs all cluster independently in a PCA analysis and an unbiased hierarchical cluster analysis reveals unique gene profile for all three cDC subsets. As mcDC cluster slightly more towards cDC1 than cDC2, we next aimed to more closely examine the transcriptomic relatedness between mcDC and cDC2. We compared the DC subsets gene expression signatures based on a selected gene set known to define cDC2. Both the PCA and hierarchical cluster analysis show that mcDC exhibit a different signature to cDC2. Altogether, we demonstrate that mcDC are a distinct subsets of cDCs with a specific transcriptomic signature.

Optimization of the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer disrupts dendritic cell lineage segregation [bulk RNA-seq]

Project description:Autoactivation of lineage-determining transcription factors (TFs) mediates bistable expression to generate distinct cell phenotypes essential for complex body plans. Classical dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) and type 2 (cDC2) provide non-redundant functions required for defense against distinct immune challenges. Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8), the cDC1 lineage-determining TF, undergoes autoactivation in cDC1 progenitors to establish cDC1 identity, yet its expression is downregulated during cDC2 differentiation by an unknown mechanism. This study reveals that the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer, responsible for IRF8 autoactivation, has been tuned to possess low-affinity IRF8 binding sites. Increasing these affinities in vivo induces erroneous IRF8 autoactivation in specified cDC2 progenitors, causing their redirection towards cDC1 and a novel hybrid DC subset with mixed lineage phenotypes. These developmental alterations critically impair both cDC1- and cDC2-dependent arms of immunity. Collectively, our findings underscore the significance of enhancer suboptimization in the developmental segregation of classical dendritic cells required for normal immune function.

Optimization of the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer disrupts dendritic cell lineage segregation [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Autoactivation of lineage-determining transcription factors (TFs) mediates bistable expression to generate distinct cell phenotypes essential for complex body plans. Classical dendritic cells type 1 (cDC1) and type 2 (cDC2) provide non-redundant functions required for defense against distinct immune challenges. Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8), the cDC1 lineage-determining TF, undergoes autoactivation in cDC1 progenitors to establish cDC1 identity, yet its expression is downregulated during cDC2 differentiation by an unknown mechanism. This study reveals that the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer, responsible for IRF8 autoactivation, has been tuned to possess low-affinity IRF8 binding sites. Incorporation of multiple high-affinity IRF8 binding sites into the Irf8 +32 kb enhancer induces erroneous IRF8 autoactivation in specified cDC2 progenitors, causing their redirection towards cDC1 and a novel hybrid DC subset with mixed lineage phenotypes. These developmental alterations critically impair both cDC1- and cDC2-dependent arms of immunity. Collectively, our findings underscore the significance of enhancer suboptimization in the developmental segregation of classical dendritic cells required for normal immune function.

Progenitors of distinct lineages shape the diversity of mature type 2 conventional dendritic cells.

Project description:Conventional Dendritic Cells (cDC) are antigen-presenting cells comprising cDC1 and cDC2 subsets, responsible for priming naïve CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, respectively. Recent studies have unveiled cDC2 heterogeneity and identified various cDC2 progenitors beyond the common DC progenitor (CDP), hinting at distinct cDC2 lineages. By generating Cd300ciCre-hCD2R26tdTomato reporter mice, we identified a bone marrow pro-cDC2 progenitor exclusively generating cDC2 in vitro and in vivo. Single-cell analyses and multiparametric flow cytometry demonstrated that pro-cDC2 encompass myeloid-derived pre-cDC2 and lymphoid-derived pDC-like precursors differentiating into a transcriptionally convergent cDC2 phenotype. Cd300c-traced cDC2 had distinct transcriptomic profiles, phenotypes, and tissue distributions compared to Ms4a3CreR26tdTomato lineage-traced DC3, a monocyte-DC progenitor-derived subset that bypasses CDP. Mice with reduced Cd300c-traced cDC2 showed impaired humoral responses to a blood-borne antigen. We conclude that progenitors of distinct lineages shape the diversity of mature cDC2 cells across tissues. Thus, ontogenesis may impact tissue immune responses.
