Project description:Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing data generated from WT and DNMT3A KO or IL-10 KO CAR T cells. These data were generate at early (week 1) and later (week 4) time points during in vitro serial stimulation of the CAR T cells, or after infusion into tumor bearing mice. These data document the DNA methylation changes that are coupled to the functional decline in CAR T cells during their sustained stimulation, and the causal nature of DNMT3A-specific methylation in mediating the functional impairment of the CAR T cells.

Project description:CAR T cells mediate antitumor effects in a small subset of cancer patients, but dysfunction due to T cell exhaustion is an important barrier to progress. To investigate the biology of exhaustion in human T cells expressing CAR receptors, we used a model system employing a tonically signaling CAR, which induces hallmarks of exhaustion described in other settings. Exhaustion was associated with a profound defect in IL-2 production alongside increased chromatin accessibility of AP-1 transcription factor motifs, and overexpression of numerous bZIP and IRF transcription factors that have been implicated in inhibitory activity. Here we demonstrate that engineering CAR T cells to overexpress c-Jun, a canonical AP-1 factor, enhanced expansion potential, increased functional capacity, diminished terminal differentiation and improved antitumor potency in numerous in vivo tumor models. We conclude that a functional deficiency in c-Jun mediates dysfunction in exhausted human T cells and that engineering CAR T cells to overexpress c-Jun renders them exhaustion-resistant, thereby addressing a major barrier to progress for this emerging class of therapeutics.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells have not induced meaningful clinical responses in solid tumor indications. Loss of T-cell stemness, poor expansion capacity and exhaustion during prolonged tumor antigen exposure are major causes of CAR T-cell therapeutic resistance. scRNA-sequencing analysis of CAR T-cells from a first-in-human trial in metastatic prostate cancer identified two distinct and independently validated cell states associated with antitumor potency or lack of efficacy. Low levels of the PRDM1 gene encoding the BLIMP1 transcription factor defined highly potent TCF7+CD8+ CAR T-cells, while enrichment of TIM3+CD8+ T-cells with elevated PRDM1 expression predicted poor outcome. PRDM1 single knockout promoted TCF7-dependent CAR T-cell stemness and proliferation resulting in marginally enhanced leukemia control. However, in the setting of PRDM1 deficiency, a negative epigenetic feedback program of NFAT-driven T-cell dysfunction characterized by compensatory upregulation of NR4A3 and multiple other genes encoding exhaustion-related transcription factors hampered effector function in solid tumors. PRDM1 and NR4A3 combined ablation skewed CAR T-cell phenotypes away from TIM3+CD8+ and toward TCF7+CD8+ to counter exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating CAR T-cells and improve in vivo antitumor responses, effects that were not achieved with BLIMP1 or NR4A3 single disruption alone. These data reveal a novel molecular targeting strategy to enrich stem-like CAR T-cells resistant to exhaustion and underscore dual inhibition of PRDM1/NR4A3 expression or activity as a promising approach to advance adoptive cell immuno-oncotherapy.

Project description:Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) mediate type 2 immune responses involved in anti-helminth immunity, allergic inflammation, and metabolic homeostasis. Recently, they have emerged as key players in regulating tumor immunity. The tumor suppressor liver kinase B1 (LKB1) inactivating mutations is associated with a variety of human cancers, but the role of LKB1 in ILC2 function and ILC2-mediated tumor immunity remains unknown. Here, we show that LKB1 is required for mature ILC2 survival. Ablation of LKB1 in ILC2s results in impaired proliferation and a marked decrease in type 2 cytokine production upon activation, accompanied with the expression of exhaustion signature genes and reduced cellular metabolism, which promote the development of lung melanoma metastasis. In addition, LKB1 deficiency leads to a marked increase of programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) expression in ILC2s through activation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) pathway. Blockade of PD-1 can restore type 2 cytokine production in LKB1-deficient ILC2 and reverse its exhaustion state, leading to enhanced antitumor immune responses in vivo. Together, our results reveal that LKB1 retrains ILC2 exhaustion state to maintain immune homeostasis and their antitumor immunity.
