Targeting TREX1 induces innate immune response in drug resistant Small Cell Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most lethal type of lung cancer. Paradoxically, this tumor displays an initial exquisite response to chemotherapy; however, at relapse, the tumor is highly resistant to subsequent available therapies. Here, we report that the expression of three prime repair exonuclease 1 (TREX1) is strongly induced in chemoresistant SCLCs. ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq revealed a significant increase in chromatin accessibility and transcriptional activity of TREX1 gene locus in chemoresistant SCLC. Analyses of human SCLC tumors and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) also showed increase in TREX1 expression in post-chemotherapy samples. TREX1 depletion caused the activation of cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway due to cytoplasmic accumulation of damage-associated double-stranded DNA, inducing immunogenicity and enhancing the sensitivity of drug resistant cells to chemotherapy. These findings suggest TREX1 upregulation may partially contribute to the survival of resistant cells, and its inhibition may represent a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance antitumor immunity and potentiate the efficacy of chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in chemoresistant SCLCs.

Inherited C-terminal TREX1 variants disrupt homology-directed repair to cause senescence and DNA damage phenotypes in Drosophila, mice, and humans

Project description:Age-related microangiopathy, also known as small vessel disease (SVD), causes damage to the liver, brain, kidney and retina. Based on the DNA damage theory of aging, we reasoned that genomic instability may underlie an SVD caused by dominant C-terminal variants in TREX1, the most abundant 3’-5’ DNA exonuclease in mammals. C-terminal TREX1 variants cause an adult-onset SVD known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy (RVCL or RVCL-S). In RVCL, an aberrant, C-terminally truncated TREX1 mislocalizes to the nucleus due to deletion of its ER-anchoring domain. Since RVCL pathology mimics that of the radiation injury, we reasoned that nuclear TREX1 promotes DNA damage. Here, we show that RVCL-associated TREX1 variants cause DNA damage in humans, mice, and Drosophila, and that cells expressing RVCL mutant TREX1 are more vulnerable to DNA damage induced by chemotherapy and cytokines that up-regulate TREX1, leading to depletion of TREX1-high cells in RVCL mice. RVCL-associated TREX1 mutants inhibit homology-directed repair (HDR), causing DNA deletions and vulnerablility to PARP inhibitors. In women with RVCL, we observe early-onset breast cancer, similar to patients with BRCA1/2 variants. Our results provide a new mechanistic basis linking aberrant TREX1 activity to the DNA damage theory of aging, premature senescence, and microvascular disease.

Mammalian SWI/SNF complex activity regulates POU2F3 and constitutes a targetable dependency in small cell lung cancer

Project description:Small cell lung cancers (SCLC) are comprised of heterogeneous subtypes marked by lineage-specific transcription factors, including ASCL1, NEUROD1, and POU2F3. POU2F3-positive SCLC, ~12% of all cases, are uniquely dependent on POU2F3 itself; as such, approaches to attenuate POU2F3 expression may represent new therapeutic opportunities for this subtype. Here using genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9-based screens reporting on POU2F3 expression in SCLC cell lines, we define mSWI/SNF complexes, including non-canonical BAF complexes (ncBAF), as top regulators of POU2F3 and dependencies specific to the POU2F3-positive subtype. Notably, clinical-grade pharmacologic mSWI/SNF complex inhibition attenuates proliferation of all POU2F3-positive SCLCs, while disruption of ncBAF via BRD9 degradation is uniquely effective in pure non-neuroendocrine POU2F3-SCLCs. mSWI/SNF complexes maintain accessibility over gene loci central to POU2F3-mediated gene regulatory networks. Finally, chemical targeting of SMARCA4/2 mSWI/SNF ATPases and BRD9 decrease POU2F3-SCLC tumor growth and increase survival in vivo. Taken together, these results define mSWI/SNF-mediated global governance of the POU2F3 oncogenic program and suggest mSWI/SNF inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in SCLC.

Microenvironment Shapes Small Cell Lung Cancer Neuroendocrine States and Presents Unique Therapeutic Opportunities

Project description:Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most fatal form of lung cancer. Intra-tumoral heterogeneity, marked by neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) cell states, defines SCLC, but the drivers of SCLC plasticity are poorly understood. To map the landscape of SCLC tumor microenvironment (TME), we apply spatially resolved transcriptomics and quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics to metastatic SCLC tumors obtained via rapid autopsy. The phenotype and overall composition of non-malignant cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) exhibits substantial variability, closely mirroring the tumor phenotype, suggesting TME-driven reprogramming of NE cell states. We identify cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) as a crucial element of SCLC TME heterogeneity, contributing to immune exclusion, and predicting an exceptionally poor prognosis. Together, our work provides the first comprehensive map of SCLC tumor and TME ecosystems, emphasizing their pivotal role in SCLCs adaptable nature, opening possibilities for re-programming the intercellular communications that shape SCLC tumor states.

Single-cell analyses reveal increasing intratumoral heterogeneity as an essential component of treatment resistance in small cell lung cancer [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The natural history of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) includes rapid evolution from exquisite chemosensitivity to insurmountable chemoresistance. The mechanisms underlying treatment-resistance in SCLC remain obscure due to scarcity of tissue samples following relapse. We generated circulating tumor cell (CTC)-derived xenografts (CDXs) from SCLC patients to study intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) and its contribution to treatment resistance. To investigate this, we performed single-cell RNAseq analyses of chemo-sensitive and -resistant CDXs, as well as longitudinal analyses of CDXs and patient CTCs. We found increased ITH, heterogeneous expression of pathways known to be associated with resistance, and transcriptional diversity of either therapeutic targets or EMT genes between cellular subpopulations following treatment-resistance to either chemotherapy or targeted therapies (PARP or CHK inhibitors). Similarly, serial profiling of patient CTCs directly from blood confirmed increased ITH post-relapse, with gene expression patterns similar to a CDX from the same patient. These data suggest that treatment-resistance in SCLC is characterized by the presence of coexisting subpopulations of tumor cells with heterogeneous gene expression leading to activation of multiple, concurrent resistance mechanisms. These findings emphasize the need for drug development efforts to focus on rational combination therapies for treatment-naïve SCLC tumors to maximize the depth and duration of initial responses and counteract the rapid increase in ITH and emergence of broad therapeutic resistance.

Targeting Taxane-Platin Resistant Lung Cancers with JumonjiC Lysine Demethylase Inhibitors

Project description:While taxane-platin standard chemotherapy provides benefit in advanced and localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the majority of patients relapse with drug resistant tumors. Mechanisms underlying NSCLC resistance to this standard doublet chemotherapy are still not fully understood, and treatment options for chemoresistant lung tumors are limited. The goals of this work were to establish new preclinical NSCLC models of resistance to taxane-platin doublet chemotherapy, identify mechanisms of resistance, and develop new rational pharmacologic approaches to target drug resistant NSCLCs.

Loss of Trex1 in dendritic cells is sufficient to trigger systemic autoimmunity

Project description:Biallelic defects of the gene encoding for the intracellular enzyme 3â repair exonuclease (Trex)1 cause Aicardi-GoutiÃ¨res syndrome (AGS), a rare monogenic, lupus-like autoimmune disease, while heterozygous Trex1 loss of function alleles are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Trex1-/- mice develop lethal autoimmune multi-organ inflammation, which results from a chronic type I IFN response triggered by intracellular accumulation of a putative nucleic acid substrate of Trex1. This pathogenic nucleic acid is detected by the broadly, but not ubiquitously, expressed cytosolic DNA sensor cGAS, raising the question whether there are specific cell types that respond to Trex1 deficiency by production of IFN and induce autoimmunity. We generated mice with conditional knock out of the Trex1 gene and demonstrated that loss of Trex1 throughout the hematopoietic system and even selective loss in dendritic cells is sufficient to cause IFN release and autoimmunity. B cells showed no transcriptional response to Trex1 deficiency. Trex1-/- keratinocytes produced IFN but did not induce skin inflammation, whereas loss of Trex1 in cardiomyocytes triggered neither IFN response nor pathology. Trex1-deficient neurons and astrocytes did not release IFN in the CNS. In contrast, mice with selective inactivation of Trex1 in long-living CNS macrophages such as microglia locally produced IFN but did not reproduce the mild encephalitis seen in Trex1-/- mice. Collectively, individual cell types differentially respond to the loss of Trex1 and dendritic cells seem promising candidates for experiments addressing the molecular pathomechanism in Trex1 deficiency. We sorted CD19-positive B cells from spleens of Trex1fl/fl CD19-Cre+ and Trex1fl/fl CD19-Cre- mice and isolated total RNA for library construction to perform mRNA deep sequencing.

Mechanisms of drugs-resistance in small cell lung cancer

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality and is classified by the World Health Organization into two broad histological subtypes. Non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma, accounts for ~85% of all lung cancer cases, with the remaining 15% of cases being due to small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which arises from neuroendocrine cells in the lung. Although most SCLC tumors are initially responsive to chemotherapy and radiation, patients often experience relapse, with the tumor acquiring an aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance that lead to a poor clinical outcome. Improvement of overall survival in individuals with SCLC will require the identification of novel therapeutic targets based on a better understanding of the changes in intracellular signaling of aggressive SCLC cells. The malignant progression of SCLC often occurs concomitantly with the acquisition of chemoresistance, suggesting that phenotypic malignant change is related to adaptation to the stresses induced by chemotherapy. In order to analyze gene expression changes associated with malignant transformation in SCLC, we established a cisplatin-resistant SCLC cell line and performed RNA sequencing.
