Noncanonical role of NCOR1 as a facilitator of DNA mismatch repair and its deficiency sensitizes cancers to immune checkpoint blockade therapy [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Tumor genomic heterogeneity significantly influences the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we pioneered the development of an ICB response score (IRS) based on machine learning analysis of microenvironmental features. Through a pan-cancer genomic screening, we identified the nuclear receptor corepressor NCOR1 as a key regulator, the tumors with genomic deficiency of which display a tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL)-inflamed microenvironment. Genetic ablation of Ncor1 delays the tumorigenesis and metastasis in syngeneic and spontaneous tumor models in immunocompetent mice. Mechanistically, NCOR1 guards DNA mismatch repair by directly interacting with MSH2 and recruiting MutSa to chromatin for mismatch recognition, independent of its transcriptional regulatory activity coupling with histone deacetylase. Ncor1 depletion in hepatocellular carcinoma and melanoma cells promotes tumor immunogenicity by increasing tumor mutation burden (TMB), neoantigen load, and TIL infiltration and activation, thereby enhancing anti-PD-1 therapy efficacy. Our findings reveal that NCOR1 loss represents a novel mechanism underlying TMB-high tumors with intact MMR components, broadening the application of ICB.

Checkpoint blockade induced CD8+ T cell differentiation in responders in head and neck cancers

Project description:Background: Outcomes for locally advanced or recurrent/ metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) remain unfavorable despite recent advances with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Preclinical studies using model antigens identified a critical role of CD8+TCF7+PD1+ T cells in anti-PD1 response. Studies on the heterogeneity and clonal dynamics of global tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in the HNSCC anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 response have not been explored. Results: In this study, we generated isogenic HNSCC anti-PD1 sensitive/resistant models that bore distinct cancer cell intrinsic transcriptomic programs. Tumor microenvironment characterization using mass cytometry and targeted depletion revealed the contribution of Tregs and M2-like macrophages in anti-PD1 resistance. Paired single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing on tumor infiltrating immune cells from ICB responsive and resistant HNSCC models identified a spectrum of CD8+ TIL subsets including TCF7+PD1- (naïve/memory-like), TCF7+PD1+ (progenitor exhausted), and TCF7-PD1+ (terminally exhausted). Mapping TCR shared fractions between these subsets identified that successful anti-PD1 or anti-CTLA4 therapy induced higher post-treatment T cell lineage transitions. A TIL differentiation gene signature was associated with better responses in multiple ICB clinical trials. Conclusions: Together, analyses integrating scRNAseq and TCRseq demonstrate distinct differentiation dynamics of CD8+ TILs in novel ICB responsive and resistant HNSCC models, highlighting critical aspects of CD8+ TIL differentiation in response to ICB.

Abbott2021 - Prediction of Immunotherapy Response in Melanoma through Combined Modeling of NB and Immune-Related Resistance Mechanisms

Project description:In this manuscript, the authors had hypothesized a multi-dimensional approach modeling of both tumor and immune-related molecular mechanisms would better predict immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response than simpler mutation-focused biomarkers, such as tumor mutational burden (TMB). The authors showed that the predictive power increases with deeper modeling of neoantigens and immune-related resistance mechanisms of ICB. The neoantigen burden score (NBS) and composite neoantigen presentation score (NEOPS) mentioned in the transcript was fully reproduced. Internally they used XGBoost algorithm to generate the results and the same is provided as dataset file. That is, the dataset provided here demonstrates that their integrative approach outperformed single-analyte biomarkers such as those found in cohort of patients with late-stage melanoma. This model is now addresses the issues in reproducing itself which was caused by version changes and deprecation of some R packages. It uses checkpoint package, which acts as a time machine for CRAN packages thereby promoting FAIReR sharing of ML models.

scRNAseq of orthotopic mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) or chromosomally instable (CIN) colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancers (CRCs) deficient in DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) contain abundant CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) responding to the abundant neoantigens from their unstable genomes. Priming of such tumor-targeted TILs first requires recruitment of CD8+ T cells into the tumors, implying that this is an essential prerequisite of successful dMMR anti-tumor immunity. We have discovered that selective recruitment and activation of systemic CD8+ T cells into dMMR CRCs strictly depends on overexpression of CCL5 and CXCL10 due to endogenous activation of cGAS/STING and IFN signaling by damaged DNA. TIL infiltration into orthotopic dMMR CRCs is neoantigen-independent and followed by induction of a resident memory-like phenotype key to the anti-tumor response. CCL5 and CXCL10 could be upregulated by common chemotherapies in all CRCs, indicating that facilitating CD8+ T cell recruitment underlies their efficacy. Induction of CCL5 and CXCL10 thus represents a tractable therapeutic strategy to induce TIL recruitment into CRCs where local priming can be maximized even in neoantigen-poor CRCs.

STING signalling compensates for low tumour mutation burden to drive anti-tumour immunity

Project description:While mutation-derived neoantigens are well recognized in generating anti-tumor T cell responses, increasing evidences highlight the complex association between tumor mutation burden (TMB) and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). We examined this relationship across nine major cancer types to identify non-TMB determinants of immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. TMB overall correlated poorly with both TILs and exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex) as an indicator of tumor-specific T cells. Computational clustering analysis performed on 4,510 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed a group of tumors with abundant Tex but low TMB. In those tumors, we observed significantly higher expression of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling. Dendritic cells, particularly those of BATF3+ lineage, were also found to be essential for accumulation of Tex within tumors. Mechanistically, loss of genomic and cellular integrity, marked by decreased DNA damage repair, defective replication stress response, and increased apoptosis were shown to drive STING activation. These results highlight that TMB alone does not fully predict tumor immune profiles, with STING signaling compensating for low TMB in non-hypermutated tumors to enhance anti-tumor immunity. We further validated these findings using clinical samples via NanoString technology and single cell RNA-seq. Translating these results, STING agonists may benefit patients with non-hypermutated tumors. STING activation may serve as an additional biomarker to predict response to immune checkpoint blockades alongside TMB. Our research also unraveled the interplay between genomic instability and STING activation, informing potential combined chemotherapy targeting the axis of genomic integrity and immunotherapy.

Lung tumor-infiltrating Treg have divergent transcriptional profiles and function linked to checkpoint blockade response [human]

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) are conventionally viewed to suppress endogenous and therapy-induced anti-tumor immunity; however, their role in modulating responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is unclear. In this study, we integrated single-cell RNAseq/TCRseq of >73,000 tumor-infiltrating Treg (TIL-Treg) from anti-PD-1-treated and treatment naive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with single cell analysis of tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific Treg derived from a murine tumor model. We identified 10 subsets of human TIL-Treg, most of which have high concordance with murine TIL-Treg subsets. Notably, only one subset selectively expresses high levels of OX40 and GITR, whose engangement by cognate ligand mediated proliferative programs and NF-kB activation, as well as multiple genes involved in Treg suppression, including LAG3. Functionally, the OX40hiGITRhi subset is the most highly suppressive ex vivo and its higher representation among total TIL-Treg correlated with resistance to PD-1 blockade. Surprisingly, in the murine tumor model, we found that virtually all TIL-Treg expressing T cell receptors that are specific for TAA fully develop a distinct Th1-like signature over a two-week period after entry into the tumor, down-regulating FoxP3 and up-regulating expression of TBX21 (Tbet), IFN and certain pro-inflammatory granzymes. Transfer learning of a gene score from the murine TAA-specific Th1-like Treg subset to the human single-cell dataset revealed a highly analogous subcluster that was enriched in anti-PD-1 responding tumors. These findings demonstrate that TIL-Treg partition into multiple distinct transcriptionally-defined subsets with potentially opposing effects on ICB-induced anti-tumor immunity and suggest that TAA-specific TIL-Treg may positively contribute to anti-tumor responses.

Immunologic and clinical activity to ICB combinations in DAPPER Leiomyosarcoma cohort

Project description:Non-inflamed (cold) tumors such as leiomyosarcoma (LMS) do not benefit from immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) monotherapy. Combining ICB with angiogenesis-, or poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors may increase tumor immunogenicity by altering the immune cell composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME). The DAPPER phase II study evaluated the safety, immunologic, and clinical activity of ICB-based combinations in pre-treated LMS patients.

Mapping of immunopeptidome of cancer immunotherapy with oncolytic virus and checkpoint blockade

Project description:The elucidation of therapy-induced changes to the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I)-bound tumor antigens is crucial for understanding immune-mediated tumor eradication and identifying potential targets for peptide vaccines to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies. Here, we investigated how oncolytic reovirus therapy with and without immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) alters the tumor peptide-MHC repertoire. Using mass spectrometry analysis of immunoaffinity purified MHC peptides, we first showed that changes to the MHC immunopeptidome following reovirus treatment is cancer type-dependent, where a murine fibrosarcoma model displayed quantitative and qualitative variance in differentially expressed peptides (DEPs) as compared to those identified in a murine ovarian cancer model. We then determined that the combination therapy of reovirus and ICB in the fibrosarcoma model resulted in higher numbers of DEPs relative to either monotherapy alone. Most importantly, we identified reovirus and ICB-induced MHC peptides that are biologically active in stimulating interferon-gamma response in cognate CD8+ T cells, which likely contribute to cancer immunoediting. These findings highlight the importance of therapy-induced changes to the MHC immunopeptidome in shaping the underlying anti-tumor immune responses during reovirus and ICB combination therapy.

Divergent clinical and immunologic outcomes based on STK11 co-mutation status in resectable KRAS-mutant lung cancers following neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade

Project description:Co-mutations of the KRAS and STK11 genes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance. While neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is now a standard of care treatment for early-stage NSCLC, the clinical and immunologic impact of KRAS and STK11 co-mutations in this setting are unknown. We evaluated the clinical outcomes and intratumoral T cell profiles of resected KRAS-mutant tumors treated with neoadjuvant ICB. Relative to KRASmut/STK11wt tumors, KRASmut/STK11mut exhibited significantly higher recurrence risk. Single-cell transcriptomics showed enhanced oxidative phosphorylation with evidence of decreased PGE-2 signaling and increased IL-2 signaling in CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from KRASmut/STK11mut tumors, a finding that was mirrored in KRASwt tumors that relapsed. TIL from KRASmut/STK11mut tumors expressed high levels of molecules associated with tumor residence, including CD39 and ZNF683 (HOBIT). These divergent T cell transcriptional fates suggest T cell maintenance and residence may be detrimental to anti-tumor immunity in the context of neoadjuvant ICB for resectable NSCLC, regardless of KRAS mutation status. Our work provides a basis for future investigations into the mechanisms underpinning PGE-2 and IL-2 signaling as they relate to T cell immunity to cancer and to divergent clinical outcomes in KRASmut/STK11mut NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant ICB.
