Project description:One of the primary mechanisms of tumor cell immune evasion is the loss of antigenicity, which arises due to lack of immunogenic tumor antigens as well as dysregulation of the antigen processing machinery. In a screen for small-molecule compounds from herbal medicine thatpotetiate T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, we identified atractylenolide I (ATT-I) that significantly promotes tumor antigen presentation of both human and mouse colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and thereby enhances the cytotoxic response of CD8+ T cells. Cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) with multiplexed quantitative mass spectrometry identified the proteasome 26S subunit non-ATPase 4 (PSMD4), an essential component of the immunoproteasome complex,as a primary target protein of ATT-I. Binding of ATT-I with PSMD4 augments the antigenprocessing activity of immunoproteasome, leading to enhanced major histocompatibility class I(MHC-I)-mediated antigen presentation on cancer cells. In syngeneic mouse CRC models and human patient-derived CRC organoid models, ATT-I treatment promotes the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells and thus profoundly enhances the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Collectively, we show here that targeting the function of immunoproteasome with ATT-I promotes tumor antigen presentation, empowers T-cell cytotoxicity, and thus elevates the tumorresponse to immunotherapy.

Project description:The human microbiota acts as a diverse source of molecular cues that influence the development and homeostasis of the immune system. Beyond endogenous roles in the human holobiont, host-microbial interactions also alter outcomes for immune-related diseases and treatment regimens. Over the past decade, sequencing analyses of cancer patients have revealed correlations between microbiota composition and the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies such as checkpoint inhibitors. However, very little is known about the exact mechanisms that link specific microbiota with patient responses, limiting our ability to exploit these microbial agents for improved oncology care. Here, we summarize current progress towards a molecular understanding of host-microbial interactions in the context of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapies. By highlighting the successes of a limited number of studies focused on identifying specific, causal molecules, we underscore how the exploration of specific microbial features such as proteins, enzymes, and metabolites may translate into precise and actionable therapies for personalized patient care in the clinic.

Project description:Chromatin regulators play a broad role in regulating gene expression, and when gone awry, can lead to cancer. Here we demonstrate that ablation of the histone demethylase LSD1 in cancer cells increases repetitive element expression, including ERVs, and decreases expression of RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) components. Significantly, this leads to dsRNA stress and activation of type 1 interferon, which stimulates anti-tumor T cell immunity and restrains tumor growth. Furthermore, LSD1 depletion enhances tumor immunogenicity and T cell infiltration in poorly immunogenic tumors, and elicits significant responses of checkpoint blockade-refractory mouse melanoma to anti-PD-1 therapy. Consistently, TCGA data analysis shows an inverse correlation between LSD1 expression and CD8+ T cell infiltration in various human cancers. Our study identifies LSD1 as a potent inhibitor of anti-tumor immunity and responsiveness to immunotherapy, and suggests LSD1 inhibition combined with PD-(L)1 blockade as a novel cancer treatment strategy.

Project description:Established T cell dysfunction is a barrier to antitumor responses, and checkpoint blockade presumably reverses this. Many patients fail to respond to treatment and/or develop autoimmune adverse events. The underlying reason for T cell responsiveness remains elusive. Here, we show that susceptibility to checkpoint blockade is dependent on the activation status of T cells. Newly activated self-specific CD8 T cells respond to checkpoint blockade and cause autoimmunity, which is mitigated by inhibiting the mechanistic target of rapamycin. However, once tolerance is established, self-specific CD8 T cells display a gene signature comparable to tumor-specific CD8 T cells in a fixed state of dysfunction. Tolerant self-specific CD8 T cells do not respond to single or combinatorial dosing of anti-CTLA4, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-1, anti-LAG-3, and/or anti-TIM-3. Despite this, T cell responsiveness can be induced by vaccination with cognate antigen, which alters the previously fixed transcriptional signature and increases antigen-sensing machinery. Antigenic reeducation of tolerant T cells synergizes with checkpoint blockade to generate functional CD8 T cells, which eliminate tumors without concomitant autoimmunity and are transcriptionally distinct from classic effector T cells. These data demonstrate that responses to checkpoint blockade are dependent on the activation state of a T cell and show that checkpoint blockade-insensitive CD8 T cells can be induced to respond to checkpoint blockade with robust antigenic stimulation to participate in tumor control.

Project description:Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential machinery for respiration and metabolic homeostasis but is paradoxically among the most common targets of somatic mutations in the cancer genome, with truncating mutations in complex I genes being over-represented1 . While mtDNA mutations have been associated with both improved and worsened prognoses in several cancer lineages1–3, whether these mutations are drivers, or exert any functional effect on tumour biology remains controversial. Here we discover that complex I-encoding mtDNA mutations are sufficient to remodel the tumour immune landscape and therapeutic resistance to immune checkpoint blockade. Using mtDNA base editing technology we engineered recurrent truncating mutations in the mtDNA-encoded complex I gene, Mt-Nd5, into murine models of melanoma. Mechanistically, these mutations promoted utilisation of pyruvate as a terminal electron acceptor and increased glycolytic flux driven by an over-reduced NAD pool and NADH shuttling between GAPDH and MDH1, mediating a Warburg-like metabolic shift. In turn, without modifying tumour growth, this altered cancer cell-intrinsic metabolism reshaped the tumour microenvironment of mouse and human cancer in a mutation load-dependent fashion, encouraging an anti-tumour immune response. This subsequently sensitises both mouse and human cancers with high mtDNA mutant heteroplasmy to immune checkpoint blockade. Strikingly, patient lesions bearing >50% mtDNA mutation load demonstrated a >2.5-fold improved response rate to checkpoint inhibitor blockade. Taken together these data nominate mtDNA mutations as functional regulators of cancer metabolism and tumour biology, with potential for therapeutic exploitation and treatment stratification.

Project description:Treatment with immune checkpoint blockade (CPB) therapies often leads to prolonged responses in patients with metastatic melanoma, but the common mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to these agents remain incompletely characterized and have yet to be validated in large cohorts. By analyzing longitudinal tumor biopsies from 17 metastatic melanoma patients treated with CPB therapies, we observed point mutations, deletions or loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in beta-2-microglobulin (B2M), an essential component of MHC class I antigen presentation, in 29.4% of patients with progressing disease. In two independent cohorts of melanoma patients treated with anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1, respectively, we find that B2M LOH is enriched threefold in non-responders (~30%) compared to responders (~10%) and associated with poorer overall survival. Loss of both copies of B2M is found only in non-responders. B2M loss is likely a common mechanism of resistance to therapies targeting CTLA4 or PD1.

Project description:Immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB) immunotherapy has emerged as one of the most effective therapies in oncology by unleashing anti-tumor response. However, despite the improvement in the clinical outcome of TNBC patients, most patients do not respond yet. Thus, to understand the underlying mechanisms of ICB resistance is necessary. With this purpose, we generated a preclinical immunocompetent syngeneic model of anti-PD-L1 ICB resistance. Mouse breast cancer 4TO7 cells were orthotopically implanted by MFP and at 0.5 x 0.5 cm tumor size mice were treated with anti-PD-L1 (10mg/Kg every 3 days). Though tumors initially responded, they eventually developed resistance to anti-PD-L1 treatment. Immunotherapy resistant tumor (IRT) cells and control tumor cells were isolated and validated again for anti-PDL1 resistance in vivo. RNA from isolated resistant tumor cells was obtained using Qiagen RNA extraction kit. Samples were analyzed by bioanalyzer. Poly-A sequencing was selected for library preparation, and samples were sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq 2500 platform with 1x50 bp settings in the Centre of Genomic Regulation (CRG). Quality raw data was performed with FastQC software. Raw reads were then aligned with the STAR mapper to the Mus musculus genome and raw counts of reads per gene was additionally obtained with STAR. Differentially expression was assessed using DESeq2 version 1.30.1 package from R/Bioconductor. Among all the results, we have seen that those IRT cells have a downregulation of the antigen presentation machinery (APM) and an enrichment of stemness signatures. Overall, the results support the notion that ICB resistance emerge from low APM activity cell populations with associated stem cell-like phenotype.
