CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells confer resistance to adoptively transferred engineered macrophage-based therapy in melanoma

ABSTRACT: Adoptive transfer of genetically or nanoparticle-engineered macrophages represents a promising cell therapy modality for treatment of solid tumor. However, the therapeutic efficacy is suboptimal without achieving a complete tumor regression, and the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we discover a subpopulation of cancer cells with upregulated CD133 and programmed death-ligand 1 in mouse melanoma, resistant to the phagocytosis by the transferred macrophages. Compared to the CD133-PD-L1- cancer cells, the CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells express higher transforming growth factor-β signaling molecules to foster a resistant tumor niche, that restricts the trafficking of the transferred macrophages by stiffened extracellular matrix, and inhibits their cell-killing capability by immunosuppressive factors. The CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells exhibit tumorigenic potential. The CD133+PD-L1+ cells are further identified in the clinically metastatic melanoma. Hyperthermia reverses the resistance of CD133+PD-L1+ cancer cells through upregulating the ‘eat me’ signal calreticulin, significantly improving the efficacy of adoptive macrophage therapy. Our findings demonstrate the mechanism of resistance to adoptive macrophage therapy, and provide a de novo strategy to counteract the resistance.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:Disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 interaction rejuvenates antitumor immunity. Clinical successes by blocking PD-1/PD-L1 binding have grown across wide-ranging cancer histologies, but innate therapy resistance is evident in the majority of treated patients1. Cancer cells can express robust surface levels of PD-L1 to tolerize tumor-specific T cells, but regulation of PD-L1 protein levels in the cancer cell is poorly understood. Quasi-mesenchymal tumor cells up-regulate PD-L1/L2 and induce an immune-suppressive microenvironment, including expansion of M2-like macrophages and regulatory T cells and exclusion of CD8+ T-cell infiltration2. Targeted therapy, including MAPK inhibitor therapy in melanoma, leads to quasi-mesenchymal transitions and resistance3, and both MAPK inhibitor treatment and mesenchymal signatures are associated with innate anti-PD-1 resistance4,5. Here we identify ITCH as an E3 ligase that downregulates tumor cell-surface PD-L1/L2 in PD-L1/L2-high cancer cells, including MAPK inhibitor-resistant melanoma, and suppresses acquired MAPK inhibitor resistance in and only in immune-competent mice. ITCH interacts with and poly-ubiquitinates PD-L1/L2, and ITCH deficiency increases cell-surface PD-L1/L2 expression and reduces T cell activation. Mouse melanoma tumors grow faster with Itch knockdown only in syngeneic hosts but not in immune-deficient mice. MAPK inhibitor therapy induces tumor cell-surface PD-L1 expression in murine melanoma, recapitulating the responses of clinical melanoma3, and this induction is more robust with Itch knockdown. Notably, suppression of ITCH expression first elicits a shift toward an immune-suppressive microenvironment and then accelerates resistance development. These findings collectively identify ITCH as a critical negative regulator of PD-L1 tumor cell-surface expression and provide insights into previously unexplained role of PD-L1 in adaptive resistance to therapy.

Enhancing PD-L1 Degradation by ITCH during MAPK Inhibitor Therapy Suppresses Acquired Resistance

Project description:MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy in melanoma leads to accumulation of tumor-surface PD-L1/2, which may evade antitumor immunity and accelerate acquired resistance. Here, we discover that the E3 ligase ITCH binds, ubiquitinates, and down-regulates tumor-surface PD-L1/L2 in MAPKi-treated human melanoma cells, thereby modulating activation of co-cultured T cells. During MAPKi therapy in vivo, tumor cell-intrinsic ITCH knockdown in murine melanoma induced tumor-surface PD-L1, reduced intratumoral cytolytic CD8+ T cells, and accelerated acquired resistance only in immune-proficient mice. Conversely, tumor cell-intrinsic ITCH over-expression reduced MAPKi-elicited PD-L1 accumulation, augmented cytolytic CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and suppressed acquired resistance in BrafMUT, NrasMUT, and Nf1MUT murine melanoma and KrasMUT pancreatic cancer models. CD8+ T-cell depletion and tumor cell-intrinsic PD-L1 over-expression nullified the ability of ITCH over-expression to suppress MAPKi-resistance, supporting in vivo the ITCH–PD-L1–T-cell regulatory axis demonstrated in human cancer cell lines. Moreover, we identified a small-molecular ITCH activator which suppressed acquired MAPKi-resistance in vivo. Thus, MAPKi-elicited tumor-surface PD-L1 accelerates acquired-resistance, and degrading PD-L1 by activating ITCH may be a combinatorial approach to promote antitumor T-cell immunity and durable responses.

Epigenetic targeting of immunocheckpoint PD-L1 by BET bromodomain inhibition

Project description:Epigenetic regulators have emerged as exciting targets for cancer therapy. Additionally, restoration of antitumor immunity by blocking the PD-L1 signaling using antibodies has proven to be beneficial in cancer therapy. Here we show that BET bromodomain inhibition suppresses PD-L1 expression and restores antitumor immunity in ovarian cancer. CD274 (encoding PD-L1) is a direct target of BRD4-mediated gene transcription. In mouse models, treatment with the BET inhibitor JQ1 significantly reduced PD-L1 expression on tumor cells and tumor-associated dendritic cells and macrophages, which correlated with an increase in the activity of antitumor cytotoxic T cells. Together, these data demonstrate an epigenetic approach to block PD-L1 signaling to restore antitumor immunity. Given the fact that BET inhibitors have been proven safe with manageable reversible toxicity in clinical trials, our findings indicate that pharmacological BET inhibitors represent a novel treatment strategy for targeting PD-L1 expression.

High Response Rate to Anti PD-1 Therapy in Desmoplastic Melanoma

Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of melanoma characterized by dense fibrous stroma, resistance to chemotherapy and a lack of actionable driver mutations, but is highly associated with ultraviolet light DNA damage. We analysed 60 patients with advanced DM treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blocking antibody therapy. Objective tumor responses were observed in 42 of the 60 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval 57-81%), including 19 patients (32% overall) with a complete response. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a high mutational load and frequent NF-1 mutations (14 out of 17 cases). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis from 19 DM and 13 non-DM revealed a higher percentage of PD-L1 positive cells in the tumor parenchyma in DM (p = 0.04), highly associated with increased CD8 density and PD-L1 expression in the tumor invasive margin. Therefore, patients with advanced DM derive significant clinical benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy despite being a cancer defined by its dense desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The benefit is likely derived from the high mutational burden and a frequent pre-existing adaptive immune response limited by PD-L1 expression.</p>

Immunogenic chemotherapy enhances recruitment of CAR-T cells to solid tumors and improves anti-tumor efficacy when combined with checkpoint blockade [RNA-Seq]

Project description:CAR-T cell therapy is effective in hematologic malignancies but not in solid tumors. In breast and lung cancer patients, CAR-T cells targeting ROR1 infiltrated tumors poorly and became dysfunctional. To test strategies for enhancing efficacy, we induced ROR1+ lung tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53fl/f mice. Murine ROR1 CAR-T cells transferred after lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide (Cy) transiently controlled tumor growth but infiltrated tumors poorly and lost function, as observed in patients. Adding oxaliplatin (Ox) to the lymphodepletion regimen activated tumor macrophages to express T cell-recruiting chemokines, resulting in improved CAR-T cell infiltration, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, and increased tumor sensitivity to anti-PD-L1. Combination therapy with Ox/Cy and anti-PD-L1 synergistically improved CAR-T mediated tumor control and survival, providing a strategy to improve CAR-T cell efficacy in the clinic.

RT-PCR profiling analysis of microRNA expression in cisplatin-resistant cancer

Project description:Chemotherapy remains the primary treatment of advanced solid cancer, including lung cancer. As first line treatment, cisplatin-based therapy is restricted by frequent development of drug resistance. Increasing data showed that programmed cell death protein ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays a vital role in regulating cisplatin resistance. However, the mechanisms underlying are not fully understood. We found miR-526b-3p expression declined while PD-L1 elevated in cisplatin-resistant lung cancer compared to that in cisplatin-sensitive lung cancer by analyzing clinical samples. Importantly, miR-526b-3p was associated with response to cisplatin negatively. We further demonstrated that miR-526b-3p reversed cisplatin resistance, suppressed metastasis, and activated CD8+ T cells in a STAT3/PD-L1-dependent manner. Our findings extended the knowledge of PD-L1-mediated cisplatin resistance of lung cancer. In addition, the introduction of miR-526b-3p provided a new clue to improve the anti-tumor effects of the combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. miProfileTM Cancer miRNA qPCR Array

Anti-PD-L1 Lead-in Before MAPKi Combination Maximizes Anti-Tumor Efficacy and Immunity [scRNAseq and scTCR-seq]

Project description:Indications of PD-1/L1- and MAPK-targeted therapies cross cancer histologies. Rationally sequencing and/or combining them may overcome innate and acquired resistance. We observed increased clinical benefit of BRAF andV600MUT/MEK inhibitors in patients with advanced BRAFV600MUT melanoma who were previously treated with immune checkpoint therapy (ICT). To test whether ICT primes MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) efficacy, we compared sequential/combinatorial regimens in subcutaneous mouse tumors driven by BrafV600, Nras, Nf1 or Kras mutations. The most efficacious regimen consisted of anti-PD-L1 lead-in preceding MAPKi combination and specifically promoted intratumoral pro-inflammatory macrophages and clonal expansion of IFNhi, CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells (relative to CD4+ regulatory T-cells) that highly expressed activation and cytolytic genes. Since melanoma brain metastasis (MBM) and its propensity for therapeutic resistance limit patient survival, we developed an experimental metastasis model of BrafV600MUT MBM. Sequencing anti-PD-L1 before MAPKi combination resulted in superior MBM control and survival as well as robust intratumoral T-cell clonal expansion both intracranially and extracranially. We propose that brief anti-PD-1/L1 dosing prior to MAPKi co-treatment suppresses resistance.
