Project description:Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) play a crucial role in anti-tumor immunity. However, the heterogeneity of TDLNs significantly impacts their immune function. We employed single-cell RNA sequencing to dissect the immune landscape of TDLNs of colorectal cancer (CRC), revealing that enlarged non-metastatic TDLNs (L-TDLNs) are enriched with CD8+ effector T cells (Teff) exhibiting a distinct metallothionein (MT)-positive signature. These CD8+MTs+ Teff cells, characterized by heightened cytotoxicity and a stress-adapted phenotype, are critical mediators of anti-tumor immunity. Our data indicate that these cells migrate from L-TDLNs to tumor sites, enhancing tumor immunogenicity. Moreover, CRC patients with a high level of CD8+MTs+ Teff in tumor site showed a significant survival advantage, particularly when treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. These findings underscore the importance of L-TDLNs in shaping effective antitumor immune responses in CRC, suggesting that the CD8+MTs+ Teff cell population may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Our study provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the cellular dynamics within TDLNs and their impact on CRC progression and treatment response.

Project description:Background: While much progress has been accomplished in the understanding of radiation-induced immune effects in tumors, little is known regarding the mechanisms involved at the tumor draining lymph node (TDLN) level following tumor irradiation. The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the immune and biological changes arising in TDLN upon concurrent chemoradiotherapy of primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors. Methods: Patients with proved localized (cN0M0) NSCLC, treated by radical surgery plus lymph node dissection with (CRT+) or without (CRT-) neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, whereby radiotherapy was targeted on the primary tumor with no significant incidental irradiation of the TDLN station (stations XI or X), were identified. Bulk RNA-Seq of TDLNs was performed and data were analyzed based on differential gene expression (DEG) and gene sets enrichment. Results: Sixteen patients were included and 25 TDLNs were analyzed: 6 patients in the CRT+ group (12 samples) and 10 patients in the CRT- group (13 samples). Overall, 1001 genes were differentially expressed between the two groups (CRT+ and CRT-). Analysis with g-profiler revealed that gene sets associated with antitumor immune response, inflammatory response, hypoxia, angiogenesis, epithelial mesenchymal transition and extra-cellular matrix remodeling were enriched in the CRT+ group, whereas only gene sets associated with B cells and B-cell receptor signaling were enriched in the CRT- group. Unsupervised dimensionality reduction identified two clusters of TDLNs from CRT+ patients, of which one cluster (cluster 1) exhibited higher expression of pathways identified as enriched in the overall CRT+ group in comparison to the CRT- group. In CRT+ cluster 1, 3 out of 3 patients had pathological complete response (pCR) or major complete response (MPR) to neoadjuvant CRT, whereas only 1 out of 3 patients in the other CRT+ cluster (cluster 2) experienced MPR and none exhibited pCR. Finally, pathway comparison to published data from pre-metastatic TDLNs uncovered similarities with CRT+ cluster 1. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy of the primary tumor in N0 NSCLC patients is associated with distinct microenvironment and immunological patterns in TDLNs as compared to TDLNs from patients with non-irradiated tumors. Our data are in line with studies showing superiority of lymph node sparing irradiation of the primary tumor in the induction of systemic antitumor immunity.

Project description:Tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) invasion by metastatic cells in breast cancer correlates with poor prognosis and is associated with local immunosuppression, which can be partly mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here, we study Tregs from matched tumor-invaded and non-invaded TDLNs, and breast tumors. We observe that Treg frequencies increase with nodal invasion, that Tregs express higher levels of co-inhibitory/stimulatory receptors than effector cells. Also, while Tregs show conserved suppressive function in TDLN and tumor, conventional T cells (Tconvs) in TDLNs proliferate and produce Th1-inflammatory cytokines, but are dysfunctional in the tumor. We describe a common transcriptomic signature shared by Tregs from tumors and nodes, including CD80, which is significantly associated with poor patient survival. TCR RNA-sequencing analysis indicates trafficking between TDLNs and tumors and ongoing Tconv/Treg conversion. Overall, TDLN Tregs are functional and express a distinct pattern of druggable co-receptors, highlighting their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Communication between tumors and the stroma of tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) exists before metastasis arises, altering structure and function of the TDLN niche. Transcriptional profiling of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs), the dominant stromal population of the LN, revealed reprogramming of these cells in immune related pathways, but also in fibroblast activation and mitochondrial function. However, tumor derived factors driving the changes in FRCs remained to be identified. Taking an unbiased approach, we show that lactic acid (LA), a metabolite released by cancer cells, is not only secreted by B16.F10 and 4T1 tumors in high amounts, but that it is also enriched in TDLNs. LA supports an upregulation of Pdpn and Thy1 and downregulation of Il7 in FRCs of TDLNs, making them akin to activated fibroblasts found at the primary tumor site. Furthermore, we show that tumor-derived LA alters mitochondrial function of FRCs of TDLNs. Thus, our results demonstrate a novel mechanism by which a tumor-derived metabolite connected with a low pH environment modulate the function of fibroblasts in TDLNs.

Project description:It is now clearly established that immune system can affect cancer response to therapy. However, the influence of tumor microenvironment on immune cells is not completely understood. In this respect, alternative splicing is increasingly described to affect immune system biology. Here, we showed that tumor microenvironment, by increasing alternative splicing events, induced the expression of an alternative isoform of the IRF1 transcription factor in Th1 cells. Furthermore, we also shown, in both mice and humans, that IRF1 alternative isoform alters IRF1 full form transcriptional activity on Il12rb1 promotor, resulting in decreased IFN-? secretion in Th1 cells. Thus, IRF1-short isoform increases in tumor microenvironment and to prevent this isoform appearance could potentiate Th1 cell antitumor effect.

Project description:BackgroundSentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard axillary staging approach for early breast cancer with clinically negative axillary involvement. Adequate SLNB should include the removal of not only radioactive tracer-labeled lymph nodes (hot nodes or SLNs) but also suspicious unlabeled nodes (non-hot nodes or non-SLNs). However, the biopsy of non-hot nodes is highly dependent on the surgeons' experiences. This article aims to facilitate the surgeon's decision making by elucidating parameters that correlate with non-hot node metastasis.MethodsFrom 2013 to 2016, clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer patients receiving axillary SLNB using single Tc-99m tracer method at our institute were recruited. Patients were excluded if they had received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Among them, cases that have at least one non-isotope-hot node biopsied were retrospectively reviewed with a particular focus on patients with pathologically negative isotope-hot SLNs. The correlation of clinicopathological data with metastasis to axillary lymph nodes and sentinel lymph nodes was analyzed with the Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, and multivariate logistic regression. Receiver operating curve (ROC) was applied for continuous variables that predicted non-hot node metastasis; relapse-free survival (RFS) and locoregional relapse-free survival (LRRFS) were compared by Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsIn 632 isotope-hot SLN negative patients, T stage showed a correlation with non-isotope-hot SLN metastasis (p = 0.035, odds ratio (OR) 9.65). Tumors larger than 2.5 cm best predict non-isotope-hot SLN metastasis (area under curve (AUC) = 0.71). With a median follow up of 41.80 months, locoregional relapse-free survival was significantly worse in cases with non-hot node metastasis (66.2% vs. 69.0%, p = 0.001).ConclusionIn the setting of SLNB using single radioisotope tracer, non-hot node metastasis in cases with negative hot SLN still carries a higher locoregional recurrence rate (13.3%). For early breast cancer larger than 2.5 cm, removal of suspicious non-hot nodes should be included for a precision therapy.

Project description:B cell-interacting reticular cells (BRC) form transcriptionally and topologically stable immune-interacting microenvironments that direct efficient humoral immunity. While several immune niche factors have been elucidated, the cues sustaining BRC function and topology across activation states remain unclear. Here, we employed spatial transcriptome analysis of murine ingunal and mesenteric lymph nodes to examine co-localization of distinct BRC subsets and immune cells complementing BRC-immune cell interaction analysis. Spatial analysis supported predicted feedforward BRC-immune cell circuits that sustain topologically-organized, functional niches across inflammatory states, lymphoid organs and species.
