Metastasis-entrained eosinophils enhance lymphocyte-mediated anti-tumor immunity

ABSTRACT: The recognition of the immune system as a key component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) led to promising therapeutics. Since such therapies benefit only subsets of patients, understanding the activities of immune cells in the TME is required. Eosinophils are an integral part of the TME especially in mucosal tumors. Nonetheless, their role in the TME and the environmental cues that direct their activities are largely unknown, especially in metastasis. We report that breast cancer-driven lung metastasis is characterized by resident and recruited eosinophils. Eosinophil recruitment to the metastatic lung was regulated by G protein coupled receptor signaling but independent of CCR3. Functionally, eosinophils promoted lymphocyte-mediated anti tumor immunity. Transcriptome and proteomic analyses identified the TME rather than intrinsic differences between eosinophil subsets as a key instructing factor directing anti tumorigenic eosinophil activities. Specifically, TNF-a/IFN-g-activated eosinophils facilitated CD4+ and CD8+ T cell infiltration and promoted anti-tumor immunity. Collectively, we identify a mechanism by which the TME entrains eosinophils to adopt anti-tumorigenic properties, which may lead to the development of eosinophil-targeted therapeutics.

Immunomodulation of T helper cells by tumour microenvironment in oral cancer is associated with rapid membrane-associated Vitamin D signalling pathway

Project description:The immune system plays a key role in the protective response against oral cancer, however the tumour microenvironment (TME) is able to impair this anti-cancer response by modulating T helper (Th) responses and promoting an anti-inflammatory environment. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Th2 effector cells (Teff) have been associated with bad prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), however it is unknown the main chemoattractant or immunomodulatory mechanisms associated with the enrichment of these subsets in OSCC. We characterised T helper-like lineages in Teff and Tregs and evaluated the main immunomodulatory changes induced by the TME in OSCC. Our phenotypic data revealed a higher distribution of tumour-infiltrating CCR8+ and Th2-like Treg in OSCC in comparison with non-malignant samples, whereas the percentages of Th1 cells were reduced in cancer. We then analysed the presence of CCR8 ligands and the chemoattractant effect of tumour secretomes, however despite observing higher presence of CCR8 ligand CCL18, we only observed reduced migration of Teff to tumour secretomes. The direct effect of the TME was then analysed by exposing T cell subsets to cancer secretomes and we observed that the TME induced higher expression of CCR8 and immunomodulatory molecules on both subsets. Finally, the proteomic analysis of the TME suggests that these changes were associated with the rapid membrane-associated vitamin D signalling pathway. In summary, the TME from OSCC promotes immunomodulatory changes by regulating CCR8 expression and disbalancing the Th1/Th2 repertoire.

An Immunological Synapse Formation Between T Regulatory Cells and Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Promotes Tumour Development: Secretomics

Project description:Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have emerged as a dominant non-hematopoietic cell population in the tumour microenvironment (TME), serving diverse functions in tumour progression, invasion, matrix remodelling and resistance to therapy. Extensive molecular characterization revealed an increased heterogeneity in the CAF compartment and proposed an interaction between CAFs and tumour-infiltrating immune cells, which may shape tumour immune evasion. However, the precise mechanisms via which CAFs imprint on anti-tumour immunity remain poorly understood. Herein, we describe a synapse formation between α-SMA+ CAFs and regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the TME. Specifically, Foxp3+ Tregs were localized close to α-SMA+ CAFs in diverse types of tumour models as well as in biopsies from melanoma and colorectal cancer patients. Notably, α-SMA+ CAFs demonstrated the ability to phagocytose and process tumour antigens and exhibited a tolerogenic phenotype which instructed a Treg cell movement arrest with Treg cell activation and proliferation, in an antigen-specific manner. Of interest, α-SMA+ CAFs were characterized by the presence of double-membrane structures, resembling autophagosomes, in their cytoplasm, while analysis of single-cell transcriptomic data pointed autophagy and antigen processing/presentation pathways to be enriched in α-SMA-expressing CAF clusters. In a mechanistic view, conditional knockout of the autophagy pathway in α-SMA+ CAFs promoted an inflammatory re-programming of CAFs, reduced Treg cell infiltration, attenuated tumour development, and potentiated the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. Overall, our findings reveal an immunosuppressive mechanism operating in the TME, which entails the formation of synapses between α-SMA+ CAFs and Tregs in an autophagy-dependent fashion and raises the potential for the development of CAF-targeted therapies in cancer. Here we submit the secretome proteomic analyses.

Inactivation of interferon signaling promotes the establishment of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in colorectal cancers

Project description:Tumors arise and grow despite anti-cancer immune responses. These responses can be stimulated by immunotherapies such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g. anti-PD1 antibodies) and chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). Efficacy of these agents in solid tumors including colorectal cancers (CRC) is limited by immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) that prevents killing of malignant cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Understanding the nature of TME-generated immunosuppression is of paramount importance. Here we report that TME elicited immunosuppression via eliminating activated CTL; this elimination required TME stress-induced downregulation of the IFNAR1 chain of type I interferon (IFN) receptor and attenuation of its signaling. Downregulation of IFNAR1 was observed in human colorectal cancers (CRC) and in mouse CRC models where it was required for efficient tumor development and progression. Stabilization of IFNAR1 on CTL improved their survival and increased anti- tumor activities of CAR T cells and PD1 inhibitors thereby providing a rationale for targeting IFNAR1 degradation for immunotherapies optimization. Two genotypes of mice were examined either 9 or 21 days post injection of MC38 colon cancer cells or MC38mRFP cells, respectively. 2-3 replicate mice were analyzed on separate arrays for each condition. 6 conditions in total were analyzed.

Targeting the MAtrix REgulating MOtif, MAREMO, abolishes hallmarks of cancer

Project description:Tumor targeted therapies have been largely inefficient due to lack of concomitant effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME). We investigated the MAtrix REgulating MOtif (MAREMO) mimicking peptide MP5, that inhibits the pro-tumorigenic extracellular matrix (ECM) molecule tenascin-C, using immunocompetent autologous breast cancer bearing mice. MP5 treatment led to tumor regression and reduced tumor cell dissemination. Several cancer hallmarks were abolished such as tumor cell promoting growth suppression and inhibition of plasticity enhancing responsiveness to death inducers. MP5 acts on other TME players leading to blood vessel normalization and depletion of fibroblasts diminishing the ECM as an orchestrator of immune suppression, causing immune cell infiltration and reactivation of anti-tumor immunity involving IFNgamma. Thus, targeting the tumor matrix using MAREMO in tenascin-C represents a powerful novel anti-cancer strategy.

Endogenous anti-tumorigenic nitro-fatty acids are a novel type of direct and potent inhibitor of the 26S proteasome

Project description:Nitro-fatty acids (NFAs) are endogenous lipid mediators causing a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory effects by covalent modification of key proteins within inflammatory signaling pathways. Their potential as anti-tumorigenic therapeutics has recently been demonstrated in animal models of solid tumors. Herein, we evaluated the anti-tumorigenic effects of NFAs in colon carcinoma cells and other solid and leukemic tumor cell lines. NFAs inhibited the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) by directly targeting the 26S proteasome, leading to polyubiquitination and inhibition of the proteasomal activities. Suppression of the UPS induced the unfolded protein response, resulting in tumor cell death. The NFA-mediated effects were rather strong, highly specific, largely irreversible, and represent a mechanistically new mode of action for UPS suppression. The present study extends the knowledge on the biological actions of NFAs as possible endogenous tumor-suppressive factors. Furthermore, NFAs might be lead structures for the design of a novel class of direct proteasome inhibitors.

A protective role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:Host resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection requires the activities of multiple leukocyte subsets, yet the roles of the different innate effector cells during tuberculosis (TB) are incompletely understood. Here we show a role for eosinophils in host resistance to Mtb infection. In humans, eosinophils are found in resected human TB lung lesions and autopsy granulomas. Eosinophils are also found in granulomas in zebrafish, mice, and non-human primates, where they are functionally activated and degranulate. Transcriptional profiling of lung tissue after Mtb infection of mice, that selectively lack eosinophils, revealed changes in neuronal associated pathways. Importantly, employing several independent models of eosinophil deficiency in mice, we demonstrate that eosinophils are required for optimal pulmonary bacterial control and host survival after Mtb infection. Collectively, our findings establish an unexpected role for eosinophils, granulocytes typically associated with type II inflammation, in host resistance against Mtb, a major human bacterial pathogen.

Endogenous anti-tumorigenic nitro-fatty acids potently suppress the ubiquitin-proteasome system

Project description:Nitro-fatty acids (NFAs) are endogenously formed lipid mediators that cause a broad spectrum of anti-inflammatory effects by covalent modification of key proteins within inflammatory signaling pathways. Their potential as therapeutics has been demonstrated in numerous animal models of disease. Herein, we evaluated the anti-tumorigenic effects of NFAs in the colon carcinoma cell line Caco-2 and other solid and leukemic tumor cell lines. NFAs inhibited the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS), leading to polyubiquitination and inhibition of the proteasome activities. Suppression of the UPS induced the pro-apoptotic transcription factor CHOP by activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), resulting in tumor cell death. NFA-mediated effects on UPS and UPR were rather strong, highly specific, largely irreversible, and represent a mechanistically new mode of action for pharmacological suppression of the UPS. Taking into account their favorable safety profile in clinical phase I trials in combination with their well-recognized anti-tumorigenic efficacy covering solid tumors, we conclude that NFAs are innovative proteasome inhibitor drug candidates that may have a large potential to overcome the limitations of the classical proteasome inhibitors.

Therapy of Established Tumors with Rationally Designed Multiple Agents Targeting Diverse Immune-Tumor Interactions: Engage, Expand, Enable

Project description:Immunotherapy of immunologically cold solid tumors may require multiple agents to (a) engage immune effector cells, (b) expand effector populations and activities, and (c) enable immune response in the tumor microenvironment (TME). To target these distinct phenomena, we strategically chose five clinical-stage immuno-oncology agents, namely, (a) a tumor antigen-targeting adenovirus-based vaccine (Ad-CEA) and an IL-15 superagonist (N-803) to activate tumor specific T cells, (b) OX40 and GITR agonists to expand and enhance the activated effector populations, and (c) an IDO inhibitor (IDOi) to enable effector cell activity in the TME. Flow cytometry, TCR sequencing, and RNAseq analyses showed that in the CEA-transgenic murine colon carcinoma (MC38-CEA) tumor model, Ad-CEA + N-803 combination therapy resulted in immune-mediated anti-tumor effects and promoted the expression of costimulatory molecules on immune subsets, OX40 and GITR, and the inhibitory molecule IDO. Treatment with Ad-CEA + N-803 + OX40 + GITR + IDOi, termed the pentatherapy regimen, resulted in the greatest inhibition of tumor growth and protection from tumor rechallenge without toxicity. Monotherapy with any of the agents had little to no anti-tumor activity, while combining two, three, or four agents had minimal anti-tumor effects. Immune analyses demonstrated that the pentatherapy combination induced CD4+ and CD8+ T cell activity in the periphery and tumor and anti-tumor activity associated with decreased Treg immunosuppression in the TME. The pentatherapy combination also inhibited tumor growth and metastatic formation in 4T1 and LL2-CEA murine tumor models. Significance: This study provides the rationale for the combination of multi-modal immunotherapy agents to engage, enhance, and enable adaptive anti-tumor immunity.
