Interferon-γ drives T reg fragility to promote anti-tumor immunity

ABSTRACT: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a barrier to effective anti-tumor immunity. Neuropilin-1 (Nrp1) is required to maintain intratumoral Treg stability and function but is dispensable for peripheral immune homeostasis, Treg-restricted Nrp1 deletion in mice results in profound tumor resistant due to Treg functional fragility. Drivers of Treg fragility, the mechanistic basis of Nrp1 dependency, and the relevance of these processes for human cancer and immunotherapy remain unknown. NRP1 expression on human Tregs in melanoma and HNSCC was highly heterogeneous and correlated with prognosis. Using a mouse model of melanoma in which mutant Nrp1-deficient (Nrp1–/–) and wild type (WT) Tregs could be assessed in a competitive environment, we found that a high proportion of intratumoral Nrp1–/– Tregs produce interferon-γ (IFNγ), which in turn drove the fragility of surrounding WT Tregs, boosting anti-tumor immunity and facilitating tumor clearance. We also show that IFNγ-induced Treg fragility is required for an effective response to PD1 immunotherapy, suggesting that cancer therapies promoting Treg fragility may be efficacious .

FOXP3+ regulatory T Cell perturbation mediated by the IFNγ-STAT1-IFITM3 feedback loop is essential for anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Targeting tumor-infiltrating Treg cells is an efficient way to evoke an anti-tumor immune response. How Treg cells fragility and stability are regulated remains largely unknown. IFITM3 and STAT1 are interferon-induced genes that play a positive role in the progression of tumors. Here, we showed that IFITM3-deficient Tregs blunted tumor growth by strengthening the tumor-killing response and displayed the Th1-like Treg phenotype with higher secretion of IFNγ. Mechanistically, depletion of IFITM3 enhances the translation and phosphorylation of STAT1. Conversely, the decreased IFITM3 protein and mRNA levels present in STAT1-deficient Treg cells indicate that STAT1 conversely regulates the expression of IFITM3 to form a feedback loop. Blocking the inflammatory cytokine IFNγ or directly depleting STAT1-IFITM3 axis phenocopies the restored suppressive function of TI-Tregs in the tumor model. Overall, our study demonstrates that the perturbation of TI-Tregs through IFNγ-IFITM3-STAT1 feedback is essential for anti-tumor immunity and constitutes a targetable vulnerability of cancer immunotherapy.

Regulatory T cells crosstalk with tumor and endothelium through lymphotoxin signaling [array]

Project description:Tregs with multifaceted functions suppress anti-tumor immunity by signaling surrounding cells. Tregs use the surface LTa1b2 to preferentially stimulate LTbR nonclassical NFkB signaling on both tumor and LECs to accelerate tumor growth and metastasis. Selectively targeting LTβR nonclassical NFkB pathways on both tumors and LECs cocultured with Tregs, inhibits tumor growth and migration in vitro. Leveraging in vivo Treg LTa1b2 interactions with LTβR on tumor and LECs, transfer of WT but not LTa-/- Tregs promotes B16F10 melanoma growth and tumor cell-derived chemokines in LTβR-/- mice; and increases SOX18 and FLRT2 in lymphatic vessels of LTbR-/-melanoma. Blocking the nonclassical pathways suppresses tumor growth and lymphatic metastasis by reducing chemokine production, restricting Treg and MDSC recruitment to tumors, and retaining intratumoral IFNg+ CD8 T cells. Our data reveals that Treg LTa1b2 promotes LTbR nonclassical NFkB signaling in tumor cells and LECs providing a rational strategy to prevent Treg promoted tumor growth and metastasis.

Expression data for tumor-infiltrating CD45+ cells

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells are crucial for immune homeostasis but they also contribute to tumor immune evasion by promoting a suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Mice with Treg cell-restricted Neuropilin 1 deficiency show tumor resistance while maintaining peripheral immune homeostasis, thereby providing a controlled system to interrogate the impact of intratumoral Treg cells on the TME. Using this and other genetic models, we showed that Treg cells shaped the transcriptional landscape across multiple tumor-infiltrating immune cell types. Treg cells suppressed CD8+ T cell secretion of interferon- (IFN), which would otherwise block the activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1)-mediated fatty acid synthesis in immunosuppressive (M2-like) tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Thus, Treg cells indirectly but selectively sustained M2-like TAM metabolic fitness, mitochondrial integrity and survival. SREBP1 inhibition augmented the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade, suggesting that targeting Treg cells or their modulation of lipid metabolism in M2-like TAMs could improve cancer immunotherapy. Microarray gene expression assay was performed to interogate the impact of fragile (Nrp1–/–) Tregs on the gloabal transcriptome oftumor immune infiltrates (CD45+ cells) at various time points over the course of tumor growth.

Targeting CD36-PPARβ signaling-mediated metabolic adaptation in intratumoral Tregs primes tumors for PD-1 blockade

Project description:Though high frequency of Tregs in tumor obstructs anti-tumor immune responses, systemic depletion of Tregs caused severe autoimmune disease in mice model. Therefore, specifically targeting intratumoral Tregs is direly needed to fight against tumor. Our study provides a novel approach to target intratumoral Tregs to enhance anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Regulatory T cells from colonic lamina propria [RNA-Seq]

Project description:The colonic lamina propria contains a distinct population of Foxp3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) that modulate responses to commensal microbes. Analysis of gene expression revealed that the transcriptome of colonic Tregs is distinct from splenic and other tissue Tregs. Rorγ and Helios in colonic Tregs mark distinct populations: Rorγ+Helios- or Rorγ-Helios+ Tregs. We uncovered an unanticipated role for Rorγ, a transcription factor generally considered to be antagonistic to Foxp3. Rorγ in colonic Tregs accounts for a small but specific part of the colon-specific Treg signature. Nrp1- Tregs were sorted from Foxp3-cre.Rorcfl/fl mice, which have a Treg-selective deletion of Rorc, or paired WT littermates. For low-input RNAseq, 1,000 TCRb+CD4+YFP(Foxp3)+Nrp1- cells were double-sorted into Trizol, RNA extracted and reverse-transcribed using ArrayScript (Ambion). To reduce variability at least three replicates were generated.

Treg insufficiency in autoimmune diabetes is driven by selective loss of Neuropilin-1 on intra-islet regulatory T cells

Project description:Strategies targeting Treg insufficiency are vital for treating autoimmune diseases like T1D. Our findings highlight the critical role of Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) in stabilizing Tregs within pancreatic islets. Boosting Nrp1 levels delays diabetes onset by enhancing Treg function. This underscores Nrp1 as a potential target for bolstering Treg activity and combating autoimmune diseases.

Tumor invasion in draining lymph nodes is associated with Treg accumulation in breast cancer patients

Project description:Tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) invasion by metastatic cells in breast cancer correlates with poor prognosis and is associated with local immunosuppression, which can be partly mediated by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here, we study Tregs from matched tumor-invaded and non-invaded TDLNs, and breast tumors. We observe that Treg frequencies increase with nodal invasion, that Tregs express higher levels of co-inhibitory/stimulatory receptors than effector cells. Also, while Tregs show conserved suppressive function in TDLN and tumor, conventional T cells (Tconvs) in TDLNs proliferate and produce Th1-inflammatory cytokines, but are dysfunctional in the tumor. We describe a common transcriptomic signature shared by Tregs from tumors and nodes, including CD80, which is significantly associated with poor patient survival. TCR RNA-sequencing analysis indicates trafficking between TDLNs and tumors and ongoing Tconv/Treg conversion. Overall, TDLN Tregs are functional and express a distinct pattern of druggable co-receptors, highlighting their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy.

Inhibition of p300 impairs Foxp3+ T-regulatory cell function and promotes anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells maintain immune homeostasis and limit autoimmunity, but can also curtail host responses to cancers. Tregs are therefore promising targets to enhance anti-tumor immunity. Histone/protein acetyltransferases (HATs) promote chromatin accessibility, gene transcription and the function of multiple transcription factors and non-histone proteins. We found that conditional deletion or pharmacologic inhibition of one specific HAT, p300, in Foxp3+ Tregs, increased TCR-induced apoptosis in Tregs, impaired Treg suppressive function and iTreg peripheral conversion, and limited tumor growth in immunocompetent, but not in immunodeficient, hosts. Our data demonstrate that p300 is important for Foxp3+ Treg function and homeostasis in vivo and in vitro, and identify a novel mechanism to diminish Treg function without overtly impairing effector Tcell responses or inducing autoimmunity. Collectively, these data suggest a new approach for cancer immunotherapy. RNA from three independent samples from magnetically separated CD4+CD25+ Treg of fl-p300/Foxp3cre mice, compared to wild type (Foxp3cre) control (all C57Bl/6 background).

Fucosylation of HLA-DRB1 regulates CD4+T cell-mediated anti-melanoma immunity and enhances immunotherapy efficacy: HLA-DRB1 Interactomes

Project description:Immunotherapy efficacy is limited in melanoma, and combinations of immunotherapies with other modalities have yielded limited improvements but also adverse events requiring cessation of treatment. In addition to ineffective patient stratification, efficacy is impaired by paucity of intratumoral immune cells (itICs)—thus, effective strategies to safely increase itICs are needed. We report that dietary administration of L-fucose induces fucosylation and cell surface enrichment of the MHC-II protein HLA-DRB1 in melanoma cells, triggering CD4+T cell-mediated increases in ItICs and anti-tumor immunity, enhancing immune checkpoint blockade responses. Melanoma fucosylation and fucosylated HLA-DRB1 associate with intratumoral T cell abundance and anti-PD1 responder status in patient melanoma specimens, suggesting the potential use of melanoma fucosylation as a strategy for stratifying patients for immunotherapies. Our findings demonstrate that fucosylation is a key mediator of anti-tumor immunity, and importantly, suggest that L-fucose is a powerful agent for safely increasing ItICs and immunotherapy efficacy in melanoma.
