Project description:Purified NK cells from human intratumoral and peritumoral tissues tissues were first enriched by MACS using NK Cell Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, German) and CD96+/- hepatic NK cells were isolated by FACS Aria cell sorter (BD Biosciences, United States) to attain a purity greater than 95%.

Project description:Background: T cell-based immunotherapies including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells can induce durable responses in cancer patients. However, clinical efficacy is limited due to the ability of cancer cells to evade immune surveillance. While T cells have been the primary focus of immunotherapy, recent research has highlighted the importance of Natural Killer (NK) cells in directly recognizing and eliminating tumor cells and playing a key role in the set-up of an effective adaptive immune response. The remarkable potential of NK cells for cancer immunotherapy is demonstrated by their ability to broadly identify stressed cells, irrespective of the presence of neoantigens, and their ability to fight tumors that have lost their Major Histocompatibility Complex class I (MHC I) expression due to acquired resistance mechanisms.
However, like T cells, NK cells can become dysfunctional within the tumor microenvironment. Strategies to enhance and reinvigorate NK cell activity hold potential for bolstering cancer immunotherapy.
Method: In this study, we conducted a high-throughput screen to identify molecules that could enhance primary human NK cell function. After compound validation, we investigated the effect of the top performing compound on dysfunctional NK cells that were generated by a newly developed in vitro platform. Functional activity of NK cells was investigated utilizing compounds alone and in combination with checkpoint inhibitor blockade. The findings were validated on patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells from different cancer types.
Results: The screening approach led to the identification of a Cbl-b inhibitor enhancing the activity of primary human NK cells. Furthermore, the Cbl-b inhibitor was able to reinvigorate the activity of in vitro generated and patient-derived dysfunctional NK cells. Finally, Cbl-b inhibition combined with TIGIT blockade further increased the cytotoxic potential and reinvigoration of both in vitro generated and patient-derived intratumoral dysfunctional NK cells.
Conclusion: These findings underscore the relevance of Cbl-b inhibition in overcoming NK cells dysfunctionality with the potential to complement existing immunotherapies and improve outcomes for cancer patients.

Project description:Voluntary exercise reduces the risk of cancer and lowers the risk of disease recurrence. Yet the mechanisms for this protection remain to be elucidated. Here we demonstrate that exercise halves tumor growth through an exercise-dependent mobilization and intratumoral infiltration of NK cells in malignant melanoma. Using voluntary wheel running, we show that exercise prior to and during B16 tumor challenge reduced tumor growth by 67%, and this reduction was associated with increased inflammation and immune cell infiltrates, especially NK cells, in the tumors from exercising mice. Depletion of NK cells blunted the exercise-dependent reduction in tumor growth. Moreover, during exercise, NK cells were engaged through an epinephrine-dependent mobilization to the circulation and redistributed to peripheral tissues through an IL-6 dependent mechanism. This study highlights the importance of exercise-dependent immune regulation in the control of malignant melanoma Gene expression profile of melanoma tumor tissue from two groups of exercise and non-exercise mice

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous population of lymphocytes that coordinate early immune responses and maintain tissue homeostasis. Type 1 immune responses are mediated by natural killer (NK) cells and group 1 ILCs (ILC1s). Despite their shared features, NK cells and ILC1s display profound differences among various tissue microenvironments. Here, we identify the inositol polyphosphatase INPP4B as a hallmark feature of tissue-resident ILC1s and intratumoral NK cells using a scRNA-seq atlas of tissue-associated and circulating NK/ILC1s. Conditional deletion of Inpp4b in ILC1s and NK cells reveals that it is necessary for the homeostasis of tissue-resident ILC1s but not circulating NK cells at steady-state. Inpp4b-deficient cells display increased rates of apoptosis and reduced activation of the pro-survival molecule AKT. Furthermore, expression of Inpp4b by NK/ILC1s is necessary for their presence in the intratumoral environment and lack of Inpp4b impairs antitumor immunity. These findings highlight INPP4B as a novel regulator of tissue residency and antitumor function in ILC1s and NK cells.

Project description:RNA was extracted from formalin-fixed specimens of paired intratumoral and peritumoral tissues of patients with lymph node-positive (n=20) or negative (n=20) HCC. A cDNA-mediated annealing, selection, extension, and ligation assay was performed with an array of 502 known cancer-related genes to identify differentially expressed genes in 80 RNA samples. Total RNA was purified from the tissue specimens using the High Pure RNA Paraffin Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol. DASL experiments were performed to identify genes that were differentially expressed between the lymph node metastasis (LNM) and non-lymph node metastasis (NLNM) groups of matched intratumoral and peritumoral tissues by using A cDNA-mediated annealing, selection, extension, and ligation assay.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary brain tumor. Its prognosis is inexorably unfavorable, as these tumors drive affected patients to death usually within 15 months after diagnosis (short term survivors, ST), with the only exception of a small fraction of patients (long term survivors, LT) surviving longer than 36 months. Even after the frontline therapeutic approach, including surgical resection followed by chemo- and radiotherapy, the cause of death in most cases is tumor recurrence, which occurs in peritumoral tissues in about 95% of patients. Here, we provide a comprehensive molecular analysis of a set of ST and LT samples derived from frankly tumoral areas (C) and from the peritumoral regions (P) of the same patients. By performing microRNA deep sequencing, we collected data showing that P areas differ from healthy white matter, but share with C samples, a number of microRNAs
