Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) poorly responds to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Dormant tumor cells are recognized as immunotherapy-resistant reservoirs, potential leading to tumor relapse, highlighting the importance to elucidate the mechanisms underlying immunotherapy resistance. Herein, we demonstrated that dormant tumor cells were resistant to ICB therapy and occupied an immunosuppressive niche with enhanced tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and decreased CD8+T cells infiltration in mouse TNBC allografts via a label-retention system. CEBPB was highly expressed in dormant tumor cells and maintained tumor dormancy by transcriptionally activating cell cycle negative regulators like CCNG2 and p27.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy intends to only benefit a fraction of cancer patients, and combination immunotherapy with a compound is a promising treatment to overcome this limitation. Here, a tumor immunological phenotype (TIP) gene signature and high throughput sequencing-based high throughput screening (HTS2) were combined to identify combination immunotherapy compounds. We firstly defined a TIP gene signature, which expression pattern distinguishes “cold” tumors from “hot” tumors, and predicts ICB response in cancer patients. Then, after screening thousands of compounds, we identified that aurora kinase inhibitors, including ENMD-2076 and TAK-901, could reprogram the expression pattern of TIP genes from “cold” tumor to “hot” tumor in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. The treatment of aurora kinase inhibitors on TNBC cells dramatically up-regulates expression of Th1 type chemokine genes CXCL10 and CXCL11, which promotes effective T cells infiltrating into tumor microenvironment and significantly improves anti-PD-1 efficacy in inhibiting the tumor growth of TNBC in preclinical models. Mechanistically, these aurora kinase inhibitors are mainly through inhibiting AURKA-STAT3 signaling pathway to stimulate the expression of CXCL10 and CXCL11. Our study established a high throughput strategy to discover candidate compounds for combination immunotherapy, and suggested the therapeutic potential of combining aurora kinase inhibitors with checkpoint blockade immunotherapy for the treatment of TNBC.

Project description:Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most effective therapies in oncology by unleashing anti-tumor response. However, despite the improvement in the clinical outcome of TNBC patients, most patients do not respond yet. Thus, to understand the underlying mechanisms of ICB resistance is necessary. With this purpose, we generated a preclinical immunocompetent syngeneic model of anti-PD-L1 ICB resistance. Mouse breast cancer 4TO7 cells were orthotopically implanted by MFP and at 0.5 x 0.5 cm tumor size mice were treated with anti-PD-L1 (10mg/Kg every 3 days). Though tumors initially responded, they eventually developed resistance to anti-PD-L1 treatment. Immunotherapy resistant tumor (IRT) cells and control tumor cells were isolated and validated again for anti-PDL1 resistance in vivo. RNA from isolated resistant tumor cells was obtained using Qiagen RNA extraction kit. Samples were analyzed by bioanalyzer. Poly-A sequencing was selected for library preparation, and samples were sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 platform with 1x50 bp settings in the Centre of Genomic Regulation (CRG). Quality raw data was performed with FastQC software. Raw reads were then aligned with the STAR mapper to the Mus musculus genome and raw counts of reads per gene was additionally obtained with STAR. Differentially expression was assessed using DESeq2 version 1.30.1 package from R/Bioconductor. Among all the results, we have seen that those IRT cells have a downregulation of the antigen presentation machinery (APM) and an enrichment of stemness signatures. Overall, the results support the notion that ICB resistance emerge from low APM activity cell populations with associated stem cell-like phenotype.

Project description:Immunotherapy is a promising treatment for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), but patients recur, arising the need to understand mechanisms of resistance. We discovered that in primary breast cancer, tumor cells that survive T-cell attack are in a quiescent state. Quiescent Cancer Cells (QCCs) are found clustering together forming regions with reduced immune infiltration. QCCs display superior tumorigenic capacity and higher expression of stemness genes than their proliferative counterparts. We adapted single-cell-RNA-sequencing with precise spatial resolution to profile infiltrating cells inside and outside QCC niches. This transcriptomic analysis revealed hypoxia-induced programs and identified more exhausted T-cells, tumor-protective fibroblasts, and dysfunctional dendritic cells inside clusters of QCCs. This uncovered differential phenotypes in infiltrating cells based on their specific intra-tumor location. Thus, QCCs constitute immunotherapy-resistant reservoirs by orchestrating a local hypoxic immune-suppressive milieu that blocks T-cell function. Eliminating QCCs holds the promise to counteract resistance to immunotherapy and prevent disease recurrence in TNBC.

Project description:Cancer-induced immune responses affect tumor progression and therapeutic response. In multiple murine models and clinical datasets, we identified large variations of neutrophils and macrophages, which define “immune subtypes” of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) including neutrophil-enriched (NES) and macrophage-enriched subtypes (MES). Different tumor-intrinsic pathways and mutual regulation between macrophages/monocytes and neutrophils contribute to the development of dichotomous myeloid compartment. MES contains predominantly macrophages that are CCR2-dependent and exhibit variable responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). NES exhibits systemic and local accumulation of immunosuppressive neutrophils (or granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (gMDSCs), is resistant to ICB, and contains a minority of macrophages that appear to be unaffected by CCR2 knockout. A MES-to-NES conversion mediated acquired ICB resistance of initially sensitive MES models. Our results demonstrate diverse myeloid cell frequencies, functionality, and potential roles in immunotherapies, and highlight the need to better understand the inter-patient heterogeneity of the myeloid compartment.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks targeted therapy options. TNBC is enriched in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), which play a key role in metastasis, chemoresistance, relapse and mortality. γδ T cells hold great potential in immunotherapy against cancer, and might be an alternative to target TNBC. γδ T cells are commonly observed to infiltrate solid tumors and have an extensive repertoire of tumor sensing, recognizing stress-induced molecules and phosphoantigens (pAgs) on transformed cells. We show that patient derived triple negative BCSCs are efficiently recognized and killed by ex vivo expanded γδ T cells from healthy donors. Orthotopically xenografted BCSCs, however, were refractory to γδ T cell immunotherapy. Mechanistically, we unraveled concerted differentiation and immune escape: xenografted BCSCs lost stemness, expression of γδ T cell ligands, adhesion molecules and pAgs, thereby evading immune recognition by γδ T cells. Indeed, neither pro-migratory engineered γδ T cells, nor anti-PD 1 checkpoint blockade significantly prolonged overall survival of tumor-bearing mice. BCSC immune escape was independent of the immune pressure exerted by the γδ T cells, and could be pharmacologically reverted by Zoledronate or IFN-α treatment. These results pave the way for novel combinatorial immunotherapies for TNBC.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous and clinically aggressive disease for which there is no targeted therapy. Here we report the preferential and high sensitivity of TNBCs to BET bromodomain inhibitors such as JQ1 manifested by cell cycle arrest in early G1, apoptosis, and induction of markers of luminal epithelial differentiation in vitro and in vivo. The sensitivity of TNBC and other tumor types to BET inhibition establishes a rationale for clinical investigation, and a motivation to understand mechanisms of resistance. After engendering acquired resistance to BET inhibition in previously sensitive TNBCs, we utilized integrative approaches to identify a unique mechanism of epigenomic resistance to this epigenetic therapy. Resistant cells remain dependent on BRD4, confirmed by RNA interference. However, TNBC cells adapt to BET bromodomain inhibition by re-recruitment of unmutated BRD4 to super-enhancers, now in a bromodomain-independent manner. Proteomic studies of resistant TNBC identify hyper-phosphorylation of BRD4 and strong association with MED1. Together, these studies provide a rationale for BET inhibition in TNBC and argue for combination strategies to anticipate clinical drug resistance.
