Project description:The efficacy of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists is compromised by various factors, primarily inefficient intracellular delivery, low/lack of endogenous STING expression in many tumours and a complex balance between tumour control and progression. Here, we report a universal STING mimic (uniSTING) based on a polymeric architecture. The uniSTING activates STING signalling in a range of mouse and human cell types, independent of endogenous STING expression, and selectively stimulates tumour control IRF3/IFN-I pathways, but not tumour progression NF-κB pathways. Intratumoural or systemic injection of uniSTING-mRNA via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) results in potent anti-tumour efficacy across established and advanced metastatic tumour models, including triple negative breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and orthotopic/metastatic liver malignancies. Furthermore, uniSTING displays an effective antitumour response superior to 2’3’-cGAMP and ADU-S100. By favouring IRF3/IFN-I activity over the pro-inflammatory NF-κB signalling pathway, uniSTING promotes dendritic cell maturation and antigen specific CD8+ T cell responses. Extracellular vesicles released from uniSTING-treated tumour cells further sensitise dendritic cells via exosome containing miRNAs that reduced the immunosuppressive Wnt2b and a combination of LNP-uniSTING-mRNA with α-Wnt2b antibodies synergistically inhibit tumour growth and prolong animal survival. Collectively, these results demonstrate the LNP-mediated delivery of uniSTING-mRNA as a strategy to overcome the current STING therapeutic barriers, particularly for the treatment of multiple cancer types in which STING is downregulated or absent.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has achieved remarkable success in cancer treatment; however, enhancing its efficacy remains a significant challenge. Selectively restoring tumour-induced immune deficiency within the tumour microenvironment is considered an ideal strategy for unleashing antitumour immunity without causing severe toxicity. Here, we describe an immunoregulatory micropeptide encoded by a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene identified through comprehensive bioinformatic screening, which we designate as UEIS. UEIS was found to be upregulated in tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and to drive macrophages toward a pro-tumorigenic phenotype, thereby inhibiting antitumour T-cell immunity. Mechanistically, the expression of UEIS is induced by cGAS-STING-type I interferon (IFN) signalling at a relatively late stage following tumoral DNA stimulation. Thus, we identify the endogenous existence of a lncRNA-encoded micropeptide and reveal its inhibitory effect on cGAS-STING-type I IFN signalling via a feedback loop in TAMs. These findings highlight UEIS as a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has achieved remarkable success in cancer treatment; however, enhancing its efficacy remains a significant challenge. Selectively restoring tumour-induced immune deficiency within the tumour microenvironment is considered an ideal strategy for unleashing antitumour immunity without causing severe toxicity. Here, we describe an immunoregulatory micropeptide encoded by a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) gene identified through comprehensive bioinformatic screening, which we designate as UEIS (USP30-AS1 encoded immune suppressor). UEIS was found to be upregulated in tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) and to drive macrophages toward a pro-tumorigenic phenotype, thereby inhibiting antitumour T-cell immunity. Mechanistically, the expression of UEIS is induced by cGAS-STING-type I interferon (IFN) signalling at a relatively late stage following tumoral DNA stimulation. Subsequently, UEIS exerts a negative feedback regulation on the type I IFN signalling pathway by forming biomolecular condensates with TBK1. This interaction sequesters TBK1, thereby inhibiting its interaction with STING and consequently suppressing downstream signalling events. Intriguingly, both an intrinsically disordered region and an alpha helix at the extreme N-terminus of UEIS were found to be essential for its function. A peptide designed to disrupt UEIS-TBK1 condensation successfully inhibited UEIS function, leading to reduced tumour growth and increased response to ICB. Thus, we identify the endogenous existence of a lncRNA-encoded micropeptide and reveal its inhibitory effect on cGAS-STING-type I IFN signalling via a feedback loop in TAMs. These findings highlight UEIS as a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Project description:Lytic cell death triggers an antitumour immune response. However, cancer cells evade lytic cell death by several mechanisms. Moreover, a prolonged uncontrolled immune response conversely leads to T-cell exhaustion. Therefore, an oncolytic system capable of eliciting the immune response by dissolving cancer cells in a controlled manner is needed. Here, we establish a micro-scale cytotoxic T-cell-inspired oncolytic system (TIOs) to precisely lyse cancer cells by NIR-light-controlled lipid peroxidation. Our TIOs present antigen-based cell recognition, tumour-targeting and catalytic cell-lysis ability; thus, the TIOs induce oncolysis in vivo. We applied TIOs to antitumour therapies, which shows kinds of tumour models are cleared efficiently with negligible side-effects. Tumour regression is correlated with a T-cell based anti-tumour immune response and can be synergistic with anti-PD-1 therapy or STING activation. Our study provides new insights to design the oncolytic systems for antitumour immunity. Moreover, activation of STING can reverse T-cell exhaustion in oncolysis.

Project description:Lytic cell death, such as pyroptosis, can trigger antitumour immune response. However, cancerous cells avoid lytic cell death by various escape mechanisms acquired through evolution. Moreover, persistent uncontrolled lytic cell death may inversely cause hyperactive immune response or T-cell exhaustion. Therefore, an oncolytic system capable of breaking through natural restrictions to dissolve cancer cells in a catalytic and controllable manner is needed. Here, we established a microscale cytotoxic T-cell-inspired oncolytic system (TIOs) by which the NIR light-generated reactive oxygen species could precisely rupture the plasma membrane of cancer cells by direct lipids peroxidation. Similar as cytotoxic T cells, TIOs present antigen-based cell recognition and catalytic cell-lysis ability; thus, the TIOs can trigger significant oncolysis and immune response in vivo. The TIOs exhibited exceptional tumour targeting and penetration without any inflammatory risk. We applied TIOs to antitumour therapies, which showed kinds of tumour models could be cleared efficiently with negligible injuries to major organs. Tumour regression was correlated with oncolysis-mediated inflammation and T-cell-based antitumor immune response. Owing to the tuneability of TIOs-mediated oncolysis, we further revealed that though the T-cell recruitment was comparable, the high-intense oncolysis induced acute inflammation in initial stage was crucial for potent antitumour immunity and immune memory effects, and low-intense oncolysis resulted in T-cell exhaustion and tumour progression. To the mice received low-intense oncolysis, although synergizing with anti-PD-1 therapies or STING activation rescued the immune dysfunction, STING activation released a more powerful boost to durative antitumour immunity by reshaping the stemness of CD8+ T cells. Our study provides new insights to design the oncolytic systems for antitumour immunity. Moreover, our application suggests that the intensity of initial inflammation plays a decisive role in maintaining oncolysis-induced antitumour immune function and STING activation holds promise for reversal of immune dysfunction due to T-cell exhaustion.

Project description:The goal of this experiment is to examine the effect of STING agonism and interferon signalling in repressing tumour growth through a signalling interplay between cells. Murine tumour organoid lines where orthotopically transplanted into the pancreas of wild-type mice. Tumour bearing mice were treated with the STING agonist MSA-2 or vehicle control. The tumours were dissected and dissociated to single cell for single-cell RNA-sequencing.
