Smyd3-mediated immuno-modulation in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma mouse models.

ABSTRACT: SET and MYND-domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) mediates epigenetic repression of type I IFN response genes in human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative HNSCC cells, and Smyd3 depletion using anti-sense oligonucleotides (ASOs) increases the sensitivity of syngeneic mouse oral carcinoma (MOC1) models to anti-PD-1 therapy. In this study, we interrogated the effects ASO-induced Smyd3 depletion in the cancer and immune cell populations, as well as the global changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of MOC1 tumors treated with Smyd3 ASOs and anti-PD-1. Single-cell RNA-seq of MOC1 tumors treated with Smyd3 ASOs revealed enrichment of type I IFN response pathways in cancer cells, a shift of CD8+ T-cells towards an activated/memory phenotype and a shift of neutrophils towards an anti-tumorigenic phenotype. While Smyd3 ASOs seemed to also promote a Treg and M2 macrophage phenotype, bulk RNA-seq of MOC1 tumors treated with Smyd3 ASOs and anti-PD-1 revealed enrichment of type I IFN response pathways and upregulation of CD8+ T-cell attracting chemokines, implying the induction of an inflamed TME. Non-responder MOC1 tumors to the Smyd3 ASO and anti-PD-1 combination revealed mechanisms of resistance derived from cancer cells, macrophages and CD8+ T-cells, including neutrophil enrichment through upregulation of Cxcl2, repression of Cxcl9 and defective antigen presentation. This study sheds light in the immunomodulatory functions of Smyd3 in an in vivo setting and provides insight into actionable mechanisms of resistance to improve the therapeutic efficacy of Smyd3 ASO and anti-PD-1 combination treatment.

Epigenetic silencing by SMYD3 represses tumor intrinsic interferon response in HPV-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [RNA-seq]

Project description:Cancers often display immune escape, but the mechanisms and potential for reversibility are incompletely understood. Epigenetic dysregulation has been implicated in the immune escape of various cancer types. We have identified the epigenetic modifier SET and MYND-domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) as a mediator of immune escape in human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), an aggressive disease with poor response to immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, a programmed-death-1 (PD-1) targeting antibody. SMYD3 depletion increased the sensitivity of HNSCC cancer cells to IFN-β, resulting in upregulation of type I IFN response and antigen presentation machinery genes. We found that SMYD3 binds to and regulates the transcription of Ubiquitin-Like PHD And RING Finger Domain-Containing Protein 1 (UHRF1), a key epigenetic reader of trimethylated lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3), which binds to H3K9me3-enriched promoters of key immune-related genes, recruits DNMT1 and silences their expression. SMYD3 further maintains the repression of immune-related genes through the deposition of H4K20me3 within the promoters and/or gene body regions of these genes. In an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint resistant syngeneic mouse model of HPV-negative HNSCC, Smyd3 depletion induced influx of CD8+ T-cells, upregulated PD-L1 and MHC class I molecules, and increased sensitivity to anti-PD-1 therapy. SMYD3 overexpression was associated with decreased CD8 T-cell infiltration in tumor samples from patients with HPV-negative HNSCC and poor response to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. Overall, these data highlight a previously unreported function of SMYD3 as a master epigenetic regulator of anti-tumor immune response in HPV-negative HNSCC and provide a rationale for translational approaches combining SMYD3 depletion strategies with checkpoint blockade to overcome anti-PD-1 resistance in this devastating disease.

Combined PD-L1/TGFb blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8 T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Metastasis-entrained eosinophils enhance lymphocyte-mediated anti-tumor immunity

Project description:The recognition of the immune system as a key component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) led to promising therapeutics. Since such therapies benefit only subsets of patients, understanding the activities of immune cells in the TME is required. Eosinophils are an integral part of the TME especially in mucosal tumors. Nonetheless, their role in the TME and the environmental cues that direct their activities are largely unknown, especially in metastasis. We report that breast cancer-driven lung metastasis is characterized by resident and recruited eosinophils. Eosinophil recruitment to the metastatic lung was regulated by G protein coupled receptor signaling but independent of CCR3. Functionally, eosinophils promoted lymphocyte-mediated anti tumor immunity. Transcriptome and proteomic analyses identified the TME rather than intrinsic differences between eosinophil subsets as a key instructing factor directing anti tumorigenic eosinophil activities. Specifically, TNF-a/IFN-g-activated eosinophils facilitated CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration and promoted anti-tumor immunity. Collectively, we identify a mechanism by which the TME entrains eosinophils to adopt anti-tumorigenic properties, which may lead to the development of eosinophil-targeted therapeutics.

Lipid nanoparticle delivery promotes cell-type-specific distribution of antisense oligonucleotides in the brain

Project description:Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are being actively investigated as potential therapeutics for a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases. While these small oligonucleotides have been effective in the clinic, many basic questions regarding ASO internalization, trafficking, and modes of enhancing delivery remain. To address these questions, we investigated how lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery affects ASO uptake and distribution in the brain. We show that ASOs are internalized and active in central nervous system (CNS) cell types both in vivo and in vitro. While differential cellular activity and polarization states do not affect ASO potency, encapsulating ASOs in LNPs increases ASO activity up to 100-fold in cultured CNS cells. This dramatic increase in efficacy is facilitated by the intracellular trafficking of ASOs away from lysosomes or enhanced ASO uptake, which is cell-type-specific. We assessed the translatability of these results by screening ASO-LNPs in vitro and intracerebroventricularly injecting top performing formulations in mice. ASO-LNP delivery induced a strong ASO-dependent microgliosis response in the brain revealing that LNP encapsulation cannot mask ASO-mediated toxicity. However, LNP-delivered ASOs did not downregulate mRNA levels in bulk tissue due to changes in ASO distribution. While ASOs distribute widely across the brain after bulk injection, ASO-LNPs are preferentially internalized by cells lining the blood vessels and ventricles. Consistent with our findings in cells, ASOs localize to the endolysosomal system following both ASO and ASO-LNP delivery in the brain as determined using immunoelectron microscopy. These data provide valuable insights into how LNPs regulate ASO uptake and distribution in the brain, and support further development of ASO-LNPs for treating CNS disorders.

Batf3-dendritic cells and 4-1BB/4-1BB ligand axis are required at the effector phase within the tumor microenvironment for PD-1/PD-L1 blockade efficacy

Project description:The cellular source of positive signals that reinvigorate T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for the therapeutic efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade has not been clearly defined. We now show that Batf3-lineage dendritic cells (DCs) are essential in this process. Flow cytometric analysis, gene-targeted mice, and blocking antibody studies revealed that 4-1BBL was a major positive costimulatory signal provided by these DCs within the TME, that translated to CD8+ T cell functional reinvigoration and tumor regression. Immunofluorescence and spatial transcriptomics on human tumor samples revealed clustering of Batf3+ DCs and CD8+ T cells, which correlated with anti-PD-1 efficacy. In addition, proximity to Batf3+ DCs within the TME was associated with CD8+ T cell transcriptional states linked to anti-PD-1 response. Our results demonstrate that Batf3+ DCs within the TME are critical for PD-1/PD-L1 blockade efficacy, and indicate a major role for the 4-1BB/4-1BBL axis during this process.
