Tumor innate immunity primed by specific interferon-stimulated endogenous retroviruses (ATAC-seq)

ABSTRACT: Mesenchymal tumor subclones secrete cytokines that promote tumorigenesis and chemoresistance, but the mechanism that underlies this phenomenon remains poorly understood. Here we identify a de-repressed subclass of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) that engage innate immune signaling in mesenchymal cancer cells. These Stimulated 3 Prime Antisense Retroviral Coding Sequences (SPARCS) are oriented inversely in 3’UTRs of certain interferon-inducible genes, generating dsRNA following IFN exposure. Sensing of this dsRNA by MAVS fuels activation of TBK1, IRF3, and STAT1 signaling. SPARCS induction in human tumors is tightly associated with B2M and MHC class 1 antigen expression, mesenchymal markers, and downregulation of chromatin modifying enzymes. Cell lines poised to induce high levels of SPARCS expression are associated with an AXL positive mesenchymal cell state. These data unveil a novel subclass of ERVs whose derepression triggers pathologic innate immune signaling in cancer.

TERT activates endogenous retroviruses contributing to immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment I

Project description:Telomerase plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis by both telomere-dependent and telomere-independent activities, although the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. Using single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) across 9,264 tumour samples, we observed that expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is closely associated with immune-suppressive signatures. We demonstrated that TERT can activate a subclass of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) to form double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), which were sensed by the RIG-1/MDA5-MAVS signalling pathway and triggered interferon signalling in cancer cells. Furthermore, we showed that TERT-induced ERVs/interferon signalling stimulated the expression of chemokines, including CXCL10, which induced suppressed T cell infiltration with increased percentage of CD4+ and FOXP3+ cells. These data reveal an unanticipated role for telomerase as a transcriptional activator of ERVs and provide strong evidence that TERT-mediated ERVs/interferon signalling contributes to immune suppression in tumours.

KAP1 regulates ERVs in differentiated human cells and contributes to innate immune control

Project description:Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) have accumulated in vertebrate genomes and contribute to the complexity of gene regulation. KAP1 represses ERVs during development by its recruitment to their repetitive sequences through KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZNFs), but little is known about the regulation of ERVs in differentiated cells. We observed that KAP1 repression of HERVK14C was conserved in differentiated human cells and performed KAP1 knockout to obtain an overview of KAP1 function. Our results show that KAP1 represses ERVs (including HERV-T and HERV-S) and ZNFs, both of which overlap with KAP1 binding sites and H3K9me3 in multiple cell types. Furthermore, this pathway is functionally conserved in primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Cytosine methylation that acts on KAP1-regulated loci is necessary to prevent an interferon response, and KAP1-depletion leads to activation of some interferon-stimulated genes. Finally, loss of KAP1 leads to a decrease in H3K9me3 enrichment at ERVs and ZNFs and an RNA-sensing response mediated through MAVS signaling. These data indicate that the KAP1-KZNF pathway contributes to genome stability and innate immune control in differentiated human cells.

Transcription of endogenous retroviruses in pre-senescent cells contributes to the accumulation of double-stranded RNAs that trigger an anti-viral response that reinforces senescence

Project description:An important epigenetic switch marks the onset and maintenance of senescence. This allows transcription of the genetic programs that arrest the cell cycle and alter the microenvironment. Transcription of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is also a consequence of this epigenetic switch. In this manuscript, we have identified a group of ERVs that are epigenetically silenced in proliferating cells but are upregulated during replicative senescence or during various forms of oncogene-induced senescence, by RAS, Akt, or HDAC4 depletion. In an HDAC4 model of OIS, removal of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3 is the plausible mechanism that allows the transcription of intergenic ERVs during senescence. We have shown that ERVs contribute to the accumulation of dsRNAs in senescence, which can initiate the antiviral response via the IFIH1-MAVS signaling pathway and thus contribute to the maintenance of senescence. This pathway, and MAVS in particular, plays an active role in shaping the microenvironment and maintaining growth arrest, two essential features of the senescence program

C4PR_LIV: The SARS-CoV-2 ORF3C protein interactome in Vero cells

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes a multitude of accessory proteins. Using comparative genomic approaches, an additional accessory protein, ORF3c, has been predicted to be encoded within the ORF3a sgmRNA. Expression of ORF3c during infection has been confirmed independently by ribosome profiling. Despite ORF3c also being present in the 2002-2003 SARS-CoV, its function has remained unexplored. Here we show that ORF3c localises only to mitochondria during infection, where it inhibits innate immunity by restricting IFN-β production, but not NF-κB activation or JAK-STAT signalling downstream of type I IFN stimulation. We find that ORF3c acts after stimulation with cytoplasmic RNA helicases RIG-I or MDA5 or adaptor protein MAVS, but not after TRIF, TBK1 or phospho-IRF3 stimulation. ORF3c co-immunoprecipitates with the antiviral proteins MAVS and PGAM5 and induces MAVS cleavage by caspase-3. Unlike early lineage SARS-CoV-2 strains, delta variant strains lack intact ORF3c and do not cleave MAVS to the same extent. Together, these data provide insight into an uncharacterised mechanism of innate immune evasion by this important human pathogen. We suggest a model whereby ORF3c inhibits PGAM5-induced mitophagy and instead induces apoptosis, accompanied by caspase-3 activation. This repository contains data associated with the SARS-CoV-2 ORF3C SILAC AP-MS portions of this work.
