Project description:The intrinsic regulation of PD-L1 expression remains unclear. Here we report that ZNF652 is a potent transcription repressor of PD-L1. ZNF652 frequently loses heterozygosity (LOH) in various cancers. Higher LOH rate and lack of estrogen-inducible transcription lead to suppressed expression of ZNF652 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Mechanistically, ZNF652 is physically associated with the NuRD transcription corepressor complex to repress a cohort of genes, including PD-L1. Overexpression of ZNF652 inhibits PD-L1 transcription, whereas depletion of ZNF652 upregulates PD-L1. Loss of ZNF652 in TNBC unleashes PD-L1-mediated immune evasion both in vitro and in vivo. Significantly, ZNF652 expression is progressively lost during breast cancer progression, and low ZNF652 level is correlated with elevated PD-L1 expression, less infiltrated CD8+ T cells, and poor prognosis in TNBC. Our study provides novel insights into PD-L1 regulation, and supports the pursuit of ZNF652 as a potential biomarker and drug target for breast cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:The SP142 PD-L1 assay is a companion diagnostic for atezolizumab in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The VENTANA SP142 assay was used to identify PD-L1 expression from TMA slides where PD-L1-positivity for an individual sample was defined as ≥1% of tumor-infiltrating immune cells as having PD-L1 expression. The PD-L1-positive gene signature consisted of 94 immune-related genes. The PD-L1-positive signature was predictive of pathologic complete response and survival outcome in multiple TNBC cohorts. In other malignancies treated with ICIs, the PD-L1-positive signature was associated with response and improved survival.

Project description:Although genomic instability can trigger cancer-intrinsic innate immune responses that promote tumor rejection, cancer cells often evade these responses by overexpressing immune checkpoint regulators, such as PD-L1. Here, we identify the SNF2-family DNA translocase SMARCAL1 as a factor that favors tumor immune evasion by a dual mechanism involving both the suppression of innate immune signaling and the induction of PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint responses. Mechanistically, SMARCAL1 relieves endogenous DNA damage and suppresses cGAS-STING-dependent immune signaling during cancer cell growth. Simultaneously, it cooperates with the AP-1 family member JUN to maintain chromatin accessibility at a transcriptional regulatory element in the PD-L1 gene, thereby promoting PD-L1 expression in cancer cells. Loss of SMARCAL1 enhances anti-tumor immune responses and sensitizes tumors to immune checkpoint blockade in a mouse melanoma model. Collectively, these studies uncover SMARCAL1 as a valuable target for cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:The inhibitor of DNA-binding protein ID3 is a vital component of immune cells and has been associated with the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite its significance, its specific role in the immune evasion strategies utilized by CRC remains unclear. RNA-seq analysis revealed that ID3 is associated with the PD-L1 immune checkpoint. We further demonstrated that ID3 modulates PD-L1 expression, suppresses the infiltration and activation of CD8+ T cells, and facilitates the immune escape of CRC cells. Additionally, we found that the knockdown of ID3 significantly enhanced the effectiveness of PD-L1 antibody treatment in combating CRC, reduced the upregulation of PD-L1 induced by the antibody, and altered the immune microenvironment within CRC. Mechanistically, our biological and structural analyses demonstrated that ID3 reconstructed the four-dimensional structure of MYC, thereby enhancing its binding affinity to the PD-L1 promoter and augmenting PD-L1 transcriptional activity. By integrating analysis of ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and ImmPort gene sets, we found that ID3's DNA-assisted binding function was widespread and could either enhance or suppress gene transcription, not only affecting tumor immune escape through immune checkpoints, but also regulating various cytokines and immune cells involved in tumor immunity. In conclusion, our study uncovered a new mechanism by which ID3 promotes immune evasion in CRC and targeting ID3 may improve the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancers and mainly affects pre-menopausal and minority women. Therapeutic options are yet limited, in part because of acquisition of tumor cells with cancer stem cell (CSC) properties, leading to intrinsic resistance to chemotherapeutic agents and immune evasion capacity. Dysregulated Notch signaling has been linked to breast cancer and in this study, we demonstrate the pivotal role of NOTCH3 in inducing the enrichment of chemoresistant ALDHhigh CSCs. Significantly, selective targeting of NOTCH3 with AV-353, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody, or by shRNA-mediated knockdown, impaired the enrichment of ALDHhigh CSCs with high self-renewal capacity, induced apoptosis and enhanced chemosensitivity. AV-353 treatment similarly reduced growth of xenografted tumors in vivo. Moreover, blocking NOTCH3 by AV-353 or shRNA reduced PD-L1 expression in TNBC cells, which was linked to the inhibition of tumor growth and enhancement of CD8+ T-cell infiltration. Taken together, these findings provide preclinical evidence for NOTCH3 as a novel therapeutic target in TNBC and reveal a novel NOTCH3/PD-L1 oncogenic axis as a platform for the betterment of TNBC therapy.

Project description:RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) can recognize thousands of RNAs that help to maintain cell homeostasis, and RBP dysfunction is frequently observed in various cancers. However, whether specific RBPs are involved in tumor immune evasion by regulating programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is unclear. We performed targeted RBP CRISPR/Cas9 screening and identified density regulated re-initiation and release factor (DENR) as a PD-L1 regulator. DENR-depleted cancer cells exhibited reduced PD-L1 expression in vitro and in vivo. DENR depletion significantly suppressed tumor growth and enhanced the tumor-killing activity of CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, DENR antagonized the translational repression of three consecutive upstream open reading frames (uORFs) upstream of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2); thus, DENR deficiency impaired JAK2 translation and the IFNγ-JAK-STAT signaling pathway, resulting in reduced PD-L1 expression in tumors. Overall, we discovered that the RBP DENR is a novel regulator in PD-L1 expression and highlighted the potential of DENR as a therapeutic target for immunotherapy.

Project description:Blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 immunosuppressive pathway has shown promise in the treatment of certain cancers including melanoma. This study investigates differences in the gene expression profiles of human melanomas that do or do not display the immunosuppressive protein PD-L1. Further understanding of genes expressed within the tumor microenvironment of PD-L1+ tumors may lead to improved rationally designed treatments. Gene expression profiling was performed on total RNA extracted by laser capture microdissection from 11 archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) melanoma specimens, 5 of which were PD-L1 positive and 6 PD-L1 negative. Details of the design, and the gene signatures found are given in the paper associated with this GEO Series: Janis M. Taube, Geoffrey D. Young, Tracee L. McMiller, Shuming Chen, January T.

Project description:We used DNA content-based flow cytometry to distinguish and isolate nuclei of clonal tumor populations from resected triple negative breast cancer tissues. We then interrogated each sorted tumor population with whole genome aCGH and next generation sequencing (NGS). The genomic data was correlated with IHC staining for PD-1 and PD-L1.
