Project description:The suppression of PDL1 expression through inhibition of the assembly of the RBPJ transcription complex has been shown to alleviate T cell exhaustion. However, the specific role of RBPJ in T cells, particularly its potential involvement in the anti-tumor activity of T cells, remains largely unexplored. In this research, immunoprecipitation was employed to identify HUWE1 as the E3 ubiquitin ligase for RBPJ. The integration of CUT&Tag, ChIP/ATAC-qPCR, immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry analysis revealed that RBPJ induced T cell dysfunction through alterations in the epigenetic landscape, enhancement of transcriptional activity, and modulation of histone methylation/acetylation on exhaustion genes. Additionally, virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation were utilized to demonstrate that Acarbose disrupted the function of RBPJ by reshaping the assembly of the RBPJ-RUVBL1/DNA ternary complex. Our findings elucidated the induction of RBPJ expression in exhausted T cells and the exacerbation of T cell exhaustion by RBPJ. Additionally, the molecular conformational changes of the RBPJ transcriptional complex induced by Acarbose shed light on the potential of targeted inhibition of T cell exhaustion for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Surgery still remains the mainstay of treatment for localized colorectal cancer. However, nearly 30% of patients with localized colorectal cancer (stage II and stage III) will present with recurrence. Tumor progression is mediated by both intrinsic genetic changes and by extrinsic epigenetic and host environmental factors, including interactions with the immune system. Several studies demonstrated that tumor infiltrating memory T-cells and type, density and location of infiltrating T cells are better predictors of disease-free survival in patients with CRC compared to the standard TNM staging. These data suggest that tumor invasion and progression are more accurately predicted by immune response in the primary tumor. In addition, mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient tumors are characterized a priori by a higher frequency of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and are associated with significantly improved prognosis. Recently, Stotz et al showed that the preoperative lymphocyte to monocyte ratio in peripheral blood samples predicts clinical outcome in patients with stage III colon cancer. So far there is no comprehensive analysis of the immune-landscape in CRC.
The aim of the current project is to identify a comprehensive panel of immunomarkers in localized colorectal cancer (stage II and stage III) applicable for the detection of patients at high risk of recurrence. For the first time, specific tumor-infiltrating immune cells, mismatch repair protein expression in tumor tissue and preoperative blood based inflammatory markers from routine blood counts in corresponding peripheral blood samples and known clinicopathological features will be correlated with outcome in 300 localized CRC patients.

Project description:We described a new culture system that can expand the developmental potential of pluripotent stem cells to contribute efficiently to extraembryonic lineage development. To compare the epigenetic landscape of expanded potential stem cells (EPSCs) and standard embryonic stem cells, we performed ChIP-seq study on multiple histone modifications to establish the epigenetic landscape of EPSCs.

Project description:Cell state evolution underlies tumor development and response to therapy1, but mechanisms specifying cancer cell states and intratumor heterogeneity are incompletely understood. Schwannomas are the most common tumors of the peripheral nervous system and are treated with surgery and ionizing radiation2–5. Schwannomas can oscillate in size for many years after radiotherapy6,7, suggesting treatment may reprogram schwannoma cells or the tumor microenvironment. Here we show epigenetic reprogramming shapes the cellular landscape of schwannomas. We find schwannomas are comprised of 2 molecular groups distinguished by reactivation of neural crest development pathways or misactivation of nerve injury mechanisms that specify cancer cell states and the architecture of the tumor immune microenvironment. Schwannoma molecular groups can arise independently, but ionizing radiation is sufficient for epigenetic reprogramming of neural crest to immune-enriched schwannoma by remodeling chromatin accessibility, gene expression, and metabolism to drive schwannoma cell state evolution and immune cell infiltration. To define functional genomic mechanisms underlying epigenetic reprograming of schwannomas, we develop a technique for simultaneous interrogation of chromatin accessibility and gene expression coupled with genetic and therapeutic perturbations in single-nuclei. Our results elucidate a framework for understanding epigenetic drivers of cancer evolution and establish a paradigm of epigenetic reprograming of cancer in response to radiotherapy.

Project description:We characterized the epigenetic landscape of human colorectal cancer (CRC). To this extent, we performed gene expression profiling using high throughput sequencing (RNA-seq) and genome wide binding/occupancy profiling (ChIP-seq) for histone modifications correlated to transcriptional activity, enhancers, elongation and repression (H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27Ac, H3K36me3, H3K27me3) in patient-derived organoids (PDOs), and in normal and tumoral primary colon tissues. We also generated ChIP-seq data for transcription factors YAP/TAZ in human CRC PDOs.

Project description:We report here that persistent activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) in tumor-specific CD4+ T cells drives the development of polyfunctional T cells with superior antitumor activities. We showed that ectopic expression of a constitutively active form of murine STAT5A (CASTAT5) in tumor-specific CD4+ T cells established a distinct epigenetic and transcriptional landscape, endowing CD4+ T cells polyfunctionality, exhaustion-resistance and tumor-infiltrating capability. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis (scRNAseq) identified a subset of cells with the molecular signature indicative of their role as progenitor polyfunctional T cells. Importantly, T cells engineered to co-express CD19-targeting chimeric antigen receptors (CD19CAR) and CASTAT5 gave rise to polyfunctional CD4+ CAR T cells capable of providing optimal help to CD8+ T cells to achieve durable and curative outcomes in mice with advanced B-cell lymphoma. Evidence of CASTAT5 functional activities in primary human CD4+ T cells underscores its potential clinical relevance.
