Project description:Regulatory T cells (Treg) are conventionally viewed to suppress endogenous and therapy-induced anti-tumor immunity; however, their role in modulating responses to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) is unclear. In this study, we integrated single-cell RNAseq/TCRseq of >73,000 tumor-infiltrating Treg (TIL-Treg) from anti-PD-1-treated and treatment naive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with single cell analysis of tumor-associated antigen (TAA)-specific Treg derived from a murine tumor model. We identified 10 subsets of human TIL-Treg, most of which have high concordance with murine TIL-Treg subsets. Notably, only one subset selectively expresses high levels of OX40 and GITR, whose engangement by cognate ligand mediated proliferative programs and NF-kB activation, as well as multiple genes involved in Treg suppression, including LAG3. Functionally, the OX40hiGITRhi subset is the most highly suppressive ex vivo and its higher representation among total TIL-Treg correlated with resistance to PD-1 blockade. Surprisingly, in the murine tumor model, we found that virtually all TIL-Treg expressing T cell receptors that are specific for TAA fully develop a distinct Th1-like signature over a two-week period after entry into the tumor, down-regulating FoxP3 and up-regulating expression of TBX21 (Tbet), IFN and certain pro-inflammatory granzymes. Transfer learning of a gene score from the murine TAA-specific Th1-like Treg subset to the human single-cell dataset revealed a highly analogous subcluster that was enriched in anti-PD-1 responding tumors. These findings demonstrate that TIL-Treg partition into multiple distinct transcriptionally-defined subsets with potentially opposing effects on ICB-induced anti-tumor immunity and suggest that TAA-specific TIL-Treg may positively contribute to anti-tumor responses.

Project description:An improved understanding of the anti-tumor CD8+ T cell response after checkpoint blockade would enable more informed and effective therapeutic strategies. Here we examined the dynamics of the effector response of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) after checkpoint blockade therapy. Bulk and single-cell RNA profiles of CD8+ TILs after combined Tim-3+PD-1 blockade in preclinical models revealed significant changes in the transcriptional profile of PD-1? TILs. These cells could be divided into subsets bearing characterstics of naive-, effector-, and memory-precursor-like cells. Effector- and memory-precursor-like TILs contained tumor-antigen-specific cells, exhibited proliferative and effector capacity, and expanded in response to different checkpoint blockade therapies across different tumor models. The memory-precursor-like subset shared features with CD8+ T cells associated with response to checkpoint blockade in patients and was compromised in the absence of Tcf7. Expression of Tcf7 was requisite for the efficacy of diverse immunotherapies, highlighting the importance of this transcriptional regulator in the development of effective CD8+ T cell responses upon immunotherapy.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade has shown clinical activity in a range of cancer types. To dissect the effect of neoadjuvant PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade on intratumoral T cells in treatment-naïve head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, we analyzed immune infiltrates in tumor biopsies from responding and non-responding patients. At baseline, a higher ratio between active (4-1BB/OX-40+) and inactive regulatory CD4+ T cells was associated with response to therapy. Furthermore, upon therapy, this active Treg population showed a profound decrease in responding patients. In an analogous process, the intratumoral dysfunctional CD8+ T cell compartment displayed a decrease in the expression of activity and dysfunction-related genes in responding patients, while in clinically non-responding patients, NK cells showed an increased cytotoxic transcriptional profile early upon treatment. These data reveal the immunological changes in response to dual PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade, including a parallel remodeling of presumed tumor-reactive T cell compartments in responding patients, and indicate that the presence of an activated Treg compartment at baseline may be associated with response.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) maintain the tumor microenvironment in an immunosuppressive state preventing effective anti-tumor immune response. A possible strategy to overcome Treg cell suppression focuses on OX40, a costimulatory molecule expressed constitutively by Treg cells while induced in activated effector T (Teff) cells. OX40 stimulation by the agonist mAb OX86 inhibits Treg cell suppression and boosts Teff cell activation. Here we uncover the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic activity of OX86 treatment dissecting its distinct effects on Treg and on effector memory T (Tem) cells, which are the most abundant CD4+ populations strongly expressing OX40 at the tumor site. In response to OX86, tumor-infiltrating Treg cells produced significantly less interleukin 10 (IL-10), possibly in relation to a decrease in the transcription factor IRF1. Tem cells responded to OX86 by upregulating surface CD40L expression, providing a licensing signal to dendritic cells (DCs). The CD40L/CD40 axis was required for Tem cell-mediated in vitro DC maturation and in vivo DC migration. Accordingly, OX86 treatment was no longer therapeutic in CD40 KO mice. In conclusion, following OX40 stimulation, blockade of Treg cell suppression and enhancement of the Tem cell adjuvant effect both concurred to free DCs from immunosuppression and to activate the immune response against the tumor. Total RNA obtained from sorted mouse FoxP3-GFP+ Treg activated in vitro with anti-CD3 in the presence of an OX40-agonist mAb (OX86) or isotype control.

Project description:Co-mutations of the KRAS and STK11 genes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are associated with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) resistance. While neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is now a standard of care treatment for early-stage NSCLC, the clinical and immunologic impact of KRAS and STK11 co-mutations in this setting are unknown. We evaluated the clinical outcomes and intratumoral T cell profiles of resected KRAS-mutant tumors treated with neoadjuvant ICB. Relative to KRASmut/STK11wt tumors, KRASmut/STK11mut exhibited significantly higher recurrence risk. Single-cell transcriptomics showed enhanced oxidative phosphorylation with evidence of decreased PGE-2 signaling and increased IL-2 signaling in CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from KRASmut/STK11mut tumors, a finding that was mirrored in KRASwt tumors that relapsed. TIL from KRASmut/STK11mut tumors expressed high levels of molecules associated with tumor residence, including CD39 and ZNF683 (HOBIT). These divergent T cell transcriptional fates suggest T cell maintenance and residence may be detrimental to anti-tumor immunity in the context of neoadjuvant ICB for resectable NSCLC, regardless of KRAS mutation status. Our work provides a basis for future investigations into the mechanisms underpinning PGE-2 and IL-2 signaling as they relate to T cell immunity to cancer and to divergent clinical outcomes in KRASmut/STK11mut NSCLC treated with neoadjuvant ICB.

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade is able to achieve durable responses in a subset of patients, however we lack a satisfying comprehension of the underlying mechanisms of anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 induced tumor rejection. To address these issues we utilized mass cytometry to comprehensively profile the effects of checkpoint blockade on tumor immune infiltrates in human melanoma and murine tumor models. These analyses reveal a spectrum of tumor infiltrating T cell populations that are highly similar between tumor models and indicate that checkpoint blockade targets only specific subsets of tumor infiltrating T cell populations. Anti-PD-1 predominantly induces the expansion of specific tumor infiltrating exhausted-like CD8 T cell subsets. In contrast, anti-CTLA-4 induces the expansion of an ICOS+ Th1-like CD4 effector population in addition to engaging specific subsets of exhausted-like CD8 T cells. Thus, our findings indicate that anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 checkpoint blockade induced immune responses are driven by distinct cellular mechanisms.
