ABSTRACT: Epigenetic regulations in the IFNγ signalling pathway: IFNγ-mediated MHC class I upregulation on tumour cells is associated with DNA demethylation of antigen-presenting machinery genes
Project description:Reversible MHC class I deficiency on tumour cells is commonly caused by coordinated silencing of antigen-presenting machinery genes and restorable by IFNγ. Here we describe association of DNA demethylation of selected antigen-presenting machinery gene regulatory regions located in the MHC genomic locus (TAP-1, TAP-2, LMP-2, LMP-7) upon IFNγ treatment with MHC class I upregulation on tumour cells. Our novel findings demonstrate that IFNγ acts as an epigenetic modifier upregulating the expression of antigen-presenting machinery genes through DNA demethylation. Our data also cast more light on the role of DNA methylation in tumour cell escape from specific immunity.

Project description:While immune checkpoint blockade therapy (ICBT) benefits cancer patients, many fail to maintain their response due to adaptive resistance mechanisms. IFNγ is critical for cellular immunity, but also promotes adaptive resistance to ICBT. We have established a role for PARP14 in mediating IFNγ-induced adaptive resistance. We confirm that chronic pre-treatment of tumour cells with IFNγ confers resistance to α-PD-1 antibodies in syngeneic mouse tumour models. We identified that PARP14 was consistently upregulated in cancer cells treated chronically with IFNγ as well as in IFNγ-high melanoma samples. Further, we showed that PARP14 knockdown or pharmacological inhibition restores sensitivity to α-PD-1 antibodies accompanied by increased immune cell infiltration into tumours but the decreased presence of regulatory T cells. RNA sequencing analysis of tumours and cultured cells treated with PARP14 inhibitor showed an upregulation of inflammatory-related pathways. In conclusion, PARP14 is an actionable target for reversing IFNγ-driven adaptive resistance to ICBT.
