Human Papillomavirus-encoded Circular RNA circE7 Promotes Immune Evasion in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: We reveal a negative association between Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-encoded circular RNA, circE7, and the infiltration of CD8+ T cells in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that circE7 suppresses the function and activity of T cells by downregulating the transcription of LGALS9, which encodes the galectin-9 protein. The molecular mechanism involves circE7 binding to acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1), promoting its dephosphorylation and thereby activating ACC1. Activated ACC1 reduces H3K27 acetylation at the LGALS9 gene promoter, leading to decreased galectin-9 expression. Notably, galectin-9 interacts with immune checkpoint molecules TIM-3 and PD-1, inhibiting the secretion of cytotoxic cytokines by T cells and promoting T cell apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate a mechanism by which HPV promotes immune evasion in HNSCC through a circE7-driven epigenetic modification, and propose a potential immunotherapy strategy for HNSCC that involves the combined use of anti-PD-1 and anti-TIM-3 inhibitors.

O-GlcNAcylation stabilizes ULK1 by inhibiting chaperone-mediated autophagy upon HPV infection

Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are conducive to a fraction of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Previously we demonstrated that HPV16 oncogene E6 or E6/E7 transduction increases the abundance of O-linked GlcNAcylation (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT). Herein we focus on the effects of O-GlcNAcylation on HPV-positive HNSCCs. We found that upon HPV infection, ULK1, an autophagy-initiating kinase, is hyper-O-GlcNAcylated, stabilized and linked with autophagy elevation. Through mass spectrometry, we identified that ULK1 is O-GlcNAcylated at Ser409Ser410, which is distinct from previously reported Thr635Thr754. It has been known that PKCαmediates phosphorylation of ULK1 at Ser423, which attenuates its stability by shunting ULK1 to the chaperon-mediated autophagy (CMA) pathway. By biochemical assays, we demonstrate that ULK1 Ser409Ser410 O-GlcNAcylation antagonizes its phosphorylation at pSer423. Mutations of Ser409ASer410A (2A) render ULK1 less stable by promoting interaction with the CMA chaperon Hsc70. Moreover, ULK1-2A mutants attenuate the association of ULK1 with STX17, which is vital for the fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes. Analysis of the TCGA database reveals that ULK1 is upregulated in HPV-positive HNSCCs and its protein level positively correlates with HNSCC patient survival. Our work demonstrates that O-GlcNAcylation of ULK1 alters to reciprocate to the environmental changes. O-GlcNAcylation of ULK1 at Ser409Ser410 stabilizes ULK1, and it might underlie the molecular mechanism of HPV-positive HNSCC patient survival.

Human RKO cells LC-MSMS (gel-based proteomics)

Project description:Tumor cells evade T cell-mediated immunosurveillance via the interaction between programmed death-1 (PD-1) ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor cells and PD-1 on T cells. Strategies disrupting PD-1/PD-L1 have shown clinical benefits in various cancers. However, the limited response rate prompts us to investigate the molecular regulation of PD-L1. Here we identify trafficking protein particle complex subunit 4 (TRAPPC4), a major player in vesicular trafficking, as a crucial PD-L1 regulator. TRAPPC4 interacts with PD-L1 in recycling endosomes, promoting RAB11-mediated recycling of PD-L1, and acting as a scaffold between PD-L1 and RAB11, thus replenishing its distribution on the tumor cell surface.

A novel IFNα-induced long noncoding RNA, lncMX1-215, negatively regulates immunosuppression by interrupting H3K27 acetylation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Interferon-alpha (IFNα) plays a ciritical role in immune regulation, especially in tumor microenvironment. Our previous study has demonstrated that IFNα promoted immunosuppression formation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. To explore the mechanism underlying IFNα-induced immunosuppression, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) sequece was conduted. We identified a novel IFNα-induced upregulated lncRNA, lncMX1-215 in HNSCC. It was mainly located in cell nucleus. Ectopic expression of lncMX1-215 markedly inhibited IFNα-induced immunosuppression molecules, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1(PD-L1) and galectin-9 expression, and vice versa. Subsequently, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors promoted the expression of PD-L1 and galectin-9. There were binding sites of H3K27 acetylation on PD-L1 and galectin-9 promoters. Mechanically, we find that lncMX1-215 directly interacted with GCN5, a known H3K27 acetylase to interrupt its binding to H3K27 acetylation. Clinically, negative correlations between lncMX1-215 and PD-L1, galectin-9 were observed. Finally, overexpression of lncMX1-215 suppressed the proliferation and metastasis capacity in vitro and in vivo in HNSCC. Our results suggest that lncMX1-215 negatively regulates immunosuppression through interrupting GCN5/H3K27ac in HNSCC and provides novel insights into immune checkpoint blockade treatment.

Gene expression profiling of African American vs European American HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas

Project description:Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the fifth most common malignancy worldwide with an annual mortality rate of 200,000. About 90% of HNC can be classified as head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), of which approximately 75% are attributed to alcohol and tobacco consumption and 25% are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV), predominantly HPV16. HPV-associated OPC have better prognosis and a more favorable response to therapy as compared to HPV-negative tumors. Differences in risk factors, age of presentation, clinical behavior and gene expression profiles indicate that HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumors develop via different molecular mechanisms and are biologically distinct. African American (AA) males have a higher incidence of HNC than any other racial/gender group, and a mortality rate almost three-fold that observed in European American (EA) males. Overall, AA patients tend to present with more HPV-negative OPC and have worse prognosis as compared to both HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC in EA patients. Despite the unveiling of differential gene expression patterns, genetic and epigenetic profiles and the compilation of a mutational landscape along with preliminary TCGA data of HPV-related and unrelated HNC, the molecular determinants of the racial disparity in HNC are yet to be identified. This study aimed to compare the gene expression profiles of HPV-negative HNSCC from AA and EA patients, and determine their biological differences. ANALYSIS 2: Two-condition, on-color experiment: African American (AA) vs European American (EA) HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. Biological replicates: 8 African American and 8 European American.

TIM-3 on myeloid cells promotes pulmonary inflammation through increased production of galectin-3

Project description:T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-containing molecule 3 (TIM-3) exhibits unique, cell type- and context-dependent characteristics and functions. Here, we report that TIM-3 on myeloid cells plays essential roles in modulating lung inflammation. We found that myeloid cell-specific TIM-3 knock-in (FSF-TIM3/LysM-Cre+) mice have lower body weight and shorter lifespan than WT mice. Intriguingly, the lungs of FSF-TIM3/LysM-Cre+ mice display excessive inflammation and features of disease-associated pathology. We further revealed that galectin-3 levels are notably elevated in TIM-3-overexpressing lung-derived myeloid cells. Furthermore, both TIM-3 blockade and GB1107, a galectin-3 inhibitor, ameliorated lung inflammation in FSF-TIM3/LysM-Cre+/- mice. Using an LPS-induced lung inflammation model with myeloid cell-specific TIM-3 knock-out mice, we demonstrated the association of TIM-3 with both lung inflammation and galectin-3. Collectively, our findings suggest that myeloid TIM-3 is an important regulator in the lungs and that modulation of TIM-3 and galectin-3 could offer therapeutic benefits for inflammation-associated lung diseases.

Epigenetic silencing by SMYD3 represses tumor intrinsic interferon response in HPV-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [RNA-seq]

Project description:Cancers often display immune escape, but the mechanisms and potential for reversibility are incompletely understood. Epigenetic dysregulation has been implicated in the immune escape of various cancer types. We have identified the epigenetic modifier SET and MYND-domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) as a mediator of immune escape in human papilloma virus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), an aggressive disease with poor response to immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, a programmed-death-1 (PD-1) targeting antibody. SMYD3 depletion increased the sensitivity of HNSCC cancer cells to IFN-β, resulting in upregulation of type I IFN response and antigen presentation machinery genes. We found that SMYD3 binds to and regulates the transcription of Ubiquitin-Like PHD And RING Finger Domain-Containing Protein 1 (UHRF1), a key epigenetic reader of trimethylated lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3), which binds to H3K9me3-enriched promoters of key immune-related genes, recruits DNMT1 and silences their expression. SMYD3 further maintains the repression of immune-related genes through the deposition of H4K20me3 within the promoters and/or gene body regions of these genes. In an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint resistant syngeneic mouse model of HPV-negative HNSCC, Smyd3 depletion induced influx of CD8+ T-cells, upregulated PD-L1 and MHC class I molecules, and increased sensitivity to anti-PD-1 therapy. SMYD3 overexpression was associated with decreased CD8 T-cell infiltration in tumor samples from patients with HPV-negative HNSCC and poor response to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. Overall, these data highlight a previously unreported function of SMYD3 as a master epigenetic regulator of anti-tumor immune response in HPV-negative HNSCC and provide a rationale for translational approaches combining SMYD3 depletion strategies with checkpoint blockade to overcome anti-PD-1 resistance in this devastating disease.
