Molecular bases for tumor induced exhaustion in CD8 T cells

ABSTRACT: The immune system can recognize and respond to tumors. However there are some conditions in which the genetic instability and heterogeneity of tumor cells leads to the development of variants that can escape the immune system. T cells have infiltrated inside many tumors (Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes or TILs), but generally these TILs have lost their functional capacity and are unable to eliminate tumor cells. We developed a model of autochthonous melanoma in mice that recapitulates some aspects of inflammatory melanoma in humans. These include a systemic Th2/Th17-oriented chronic inflammation, recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells and acquisition by TILs of an “exhausted” phenotype characterized by expression of receptors for multiple inhibitory molecules. To address the molecular bases for the “exhausted” TILs phenotype, we performed transcriptomic analyses on sorted CD8 or T cells from the induced melanomas. These transcriptomes were compared to those of naïve CD8 T cells and of CD8 T cells immunized with a virus.

Comprehensive single-cell immune profiling of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes in acral lentiginous melanoma with therapeutic implications.

Project description:Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the most common melanoma subtype in non-Caucasians. Despite significant advances in cancer immunotherapy, current immune checkpoint inhibitors remain unsatisfactory for ALM. Hence, we conducted a comprehensive immune profiling using single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing analysis, along with the reactivity screening of TCRs of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in ALM. We identified tumor-reactive CD8 T cell populations, primarily exhibiting an exhausted state, within multiple phenotypic subsets of TILs in ALM. In comparison to cutaneous melanoma, clusters with tumor-reactive phenotype presented a lower abundance, and enrichment of Treg cells were observed, suggesting suppressive immune microenvironment of ALM. We found a heterogeneous expression of co-inhibitory molecules in tumor-reactive CD8 TILs, with a subpopulation of activated T cells that was rich in genes related to cytotoxicity and marked by the expression of KLRC1 (NKG2A), a suppressive co-inhibitory molecule with therapeutic implications. Overall, our study provides a foundation for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in ALM.

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.

PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells are marked by loss of CD28 expression and rescued by IL-15

Project description:Blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1) reinvigorates exhausted CD8+ T cells, resulting in tumor regression in cancer patients. Recently, reinvigoration of exhausted CD8+ T cells following PD-1 blockade was shown to be CD28-dependent in mouse models. Herein, we examined the role of CD28 in anti-PD-1-induced human T-cell reinvigoration using tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TILs) obtained from non-small cell lung cancer patients. Single cell analysis demonstrated a distinct expression pattern of CD28 between mouse and human CD8+ TILs. Furthermore, we found that human CD28+CD8+, but not CD28–CD8+ TILs, responded to PD-1 blockade irrespective of B7/CD28 blockade, indicating that CD28 co-stimulation in human CD8+ TILs is dispensable for PD-1 blockade-induced reinvigoration, and loss of CD28 expression rather serve as a marker of anti-PD-1-unresponsive CD8+ TILs. Transcriptionally and phenotypically, PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs exhibited characteristics of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells with low TCF1 expression. Notably, CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs had preserved machinery to respond to IL-15, and IL-15 treatment enhanced proliferation of CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs as well as CD28+PD-1+CD8+ TILs. Taken together, we demonstrate loss of CD28 expression as a marker of PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD8+ TILs with TCF1– signature and provide mechanistic insights into combining IL-15 with anti-PD-1.

Expression data from FACS-sorted CD8+BTLA+ vs CD8+BTLA- Human Tumor-infiltrating Lymphocytes in Metastatic Melanoma

Project description:Adoptive T-cell Therapy (ACT) involves using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) isolated from metastatic melanoma and expanding them ex vivo prior to infusion into lympho-depleted patients. This is one of the most promising approaches to treat metastatic melanoma, with the rates of clinical response between 48-50% based on studies done at NCI, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX), and Sheba Medical Center (Tel Aviv, Israel). In the Phase II ACT Trial at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center , our group has uncovered an association between positive clinical response and the amount of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes expressing B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA), a reported inhibitory receptor on T-cells. We used microarrays to detail the differences in the global programme of gene expression between CD8+BTLA+ vs CD8+BTLA- TILs in order to understand the molecular basis of the clinical association. TILs were isolated by enzymatically digest the melanoma tumor fragments obtained from Stage IIIc/IV melanoma patients at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The TILs were expanded with high-dose IL-2 for two weeks prior to sorting by FACS (fluoresecence-activated cell sorter) for CD8+BTLA+ and CD8+BTLA- susbets. RNA was extracted from each sorted subsets and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays

Intermittent Administration of Tacrolimus Enhances Anti-Tumor Immunity in Melanoma-Bearing Mice

Project description:One key reason for T cell exhaustion is continuous antigen exposure. Early exhausted T cells can reverse exhaustion and differentiate into fully functional memory T cells if removed from persisting antigen stimulation. Therefore, this study viewed T cell exhaustion as an over-activation status induced by chronic antigen stimuli. This study hypothesized that blocking TCR signal intermittently to terminate over-activation signal can defer the developmental process of T cell exhaustion. In this study, B16F10 melanoma-bearing mice were treated with tacrolimus (FK506) every five days. The tumor size and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were analyzed. We found that intermittent administration of tacrolimus significantly inhibited tumor growth, and this effect was mediated by CD8+T cells. Intermittent tacrolimus treatment facilitated the infiltration of CD8+TILs. RNA-seq and quantitative RT-PCR of sorted CD8+TILs showed the expression of Nr4a1 (an exhaustion-related transcription factor) and Ctla4 (a T cell inhibitory receptor) was remarkably downregulated. These results indicated that intermittently blocking TCR signal by tacrolimus can promote anti-tumor immunity and inhibit the tumor growth in melanoma-bearing mice, inhibiting the transcription of several exhaustion-related genes, such as Nr4a1 and Ctla4.

Dapl1 is a critical regulator of CD8 T cell function and exhaustion in cancer immunity

Project description:We report the application of 10x Genomics single-cell sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of gene regulation difference between wildtype and Dapl1 deficient T cell in tumor microenvironments (TILs). Unsupervised clustering identified 6 clusters of CD8 TILs. We find that Dapl1 was predominantly expressed in a TCF1hi CD8 T cell cluster. The Dapl1 deficiency results in expansion of an effector memory-like CD8 TIL subpopulation and concomitant reduction in a subpopulation of exhausted CD8 TILs highlighting a role for Dapl1 in regulating the intratumoral dynamics of CD8 T cells.

Oxidized Lipids and CD36-Mediated Lipid Peroxidation in CD8 T Cells Suppress Anti-Tumor Immune Responses

Project description:T cell metabolic fitness plays a pivotal role in anti-tumor immunity and metabolic deregulation causes T cell dysfunction in cancer. We identify that CD36 limits anti-tumor CD8+ T cell effector functions through lipid peroxidation. In murine tumors, oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs) were highly abundant and CD8+ TILs increased uptake and accumulation of lipids and lipid peroxidation. Functionally ‘exhausted’ CD8+ TILs increased CD36 expression and CD36-deficient CD8+ TILs had more robust anti-tumor activity and cytokine production than wild-type cells. We further show that CD36 promotes uptake of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL), induces lipid peroxidation in CD8+ TILs, and enhances p38 kinase phosphorylation. Moreover, we found that OxLDL inhibits CD8+ T cell functions in a CD36/p38-dependent manner. Furthermore, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) over-expression lowers lipid peroxidation and restores functionalities in CD8+ TILs. These results define a key role for an oxidized lipid-CD36-p38 axis in promoting intratumoral CD8+ T cell dysfunction.

Distinct epigenetic features of tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells in colorectal cancer patients revealed by genome-wide DNA methylation analysis

Project description:Tumor-reactive CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) represent a subtype of T cells that could recognize and destroy tumor specifically. Understanding the regulatory mechanism of tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells has important therapeutic implications. Yet the DNA methylation status of this T cell subtype has not been elucidated. In this study, we segregated tumor-reactive and bystander CD8+ TILs, as well as naïve and effector memory CD8+ T cell subtypes as controls from colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, to compare their transcriptome and methylome characteristics. Transcriptome profiling confirmed previous conclusion that tumor-reactive TILs have an exhausted tissue-resident memory signature. Whole-genome methylation profiling identified a distinct methylome pattern of tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells, with tumor-reactive markers (CD39 and CD103) being specifically demethylated. In addition, dynamic changes were observed during the transition of naïve T cells into tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. Transcription factor (TF) binding motif enrichment analysis identified several immune-related TFs, including three exhaustion-related genes (NR4A1, BATF and EGR2) and VDR, that potentially play important regulatory role in tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells. Our study supports the involvement of DNA methylation in shaping tumor-reactive and bystander CD8+ TILs, and provides a valuable resource for the development of novel DNA methylation markers and future therapeutics.

Myeloid Niches Sustain Antitumor T Cells and License PD-1 Blockade via CD28 Costimulation

Project description:The local mechanisms regulating exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and responsiveness to PD-1 blockade remain partly elucidated. In human ovarian cancer we show that tumor-reactive intraepithelial (ie)CD8+ TILs engaged by antigen are polyfunctional and upregulate PD-1, which restrains their effectiveness. PD-1+ TILs exhibit a continuum of TCR-engaged/exhausted states with variable effector fitness related to CD28 costimulation, which they receive in intraepithelial niches involving myeloid antigen-presenting cells (mAPC). Following PD-1 blockade, activation of TILs requires CD28 costimulation mediated in situ by tumor mAPCs, which is locally enhanced by CTLA-4 blockade. CD40 ligand also amplifies TIL responses in situ, especially in tumors in which mAPCs are not activated. Thus, dysfunctional and exhausted TILs, in a state of TCR engagement but without proper CD28 costimulation by mAPCs in situ, are unlikely to fully benefit from PD-1 blockade.
