Project description:Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) often achieve remission yet subsequently die of disease relapse, which is commonly driven by chemotherapy-resistant leukaemic stem cells (LSCs). LSCs are defined by their capacity to initiate leukaemia in immuno-compromised mice. This precludes an analysis of their interaction with lymphocytes as components of anti-tumour immunity, which LSCs must escape in order to induce cancer7. Here we propose that stemness and immune evasion are closely intertwined in human AML. Using human AML xenograft and syngeneic mouse leukemia models, we show that ligands of the danger detector NKG2D, a critical mediator of anti-tumour immunity by cytotoxic lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells, are generally expressed on bulk AML cells but not on LSCs. Functional LSCs can be isolated by their lack of NKG2D ligand (NKG2DL) expression, even in human AMLs not expressing the conventional LSC marker CD34. NKG2DL expressing AML cells are cleared by NK cells while NKG2DLneg leukaemic cells isolated from the same individuals escape NK cell killing. These NKG2DLneg AML cells show an immature morphology, display molecular and functional stemness characteristics, can initiate serially re-transplantable leukaemia and survive chemotherapy in patient-derived xenotransplants (PDX). Mechanistically, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1) negatively regulates NKG2DL and PARP1 inhibition (PARPi) induces NKG2DL surface expression in LSCs. Consequently, co-treatment with PARPi and NK cells suppresses leukaemogenesis in PDX models. Low expression of surface NKG2DL as well as high PARP1 expression are associated with inferior clinical outcome in patients with AML. In summary, our data link the concept of LSCs to immune escape and indicate absence of immunostimulatory NKG2DL as a novel method to identify LSCs across genetic AML subtypes. Moreover, we provide a strong rationale for targeting therapy resistant LSCs by PARP1 inhibition rendering them amenable to NK cell control in vivo.

Project description:How the stemness of adult stem cells and cancer stem cells is regulated by environmental cues through surface receptors is poorly understood. In this gene expression analysis, we found that, in the mouse MLL-AF9 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) model, a deficiency in intracellular signaling of inhibitory receptor PIR-B resulted in increased differentiation and decreased stemness of leukemia stem cells, revealing that PIR-B supports leukemia development. Our study indicates unexpected functional significance of a classical immune inhibitory receptor in the maintenance of stemness of cancer stem cells.

Mathematical models of immune-induced cancer dormancy and the emergence of immune evasion
Kathleen P. Wilkie and Philip Hahnfeldt
Interface Focus 3: 20130010
Abstract:
Cancer dormancy, a state in which cancer cells persist in a host without sig- nificant growth, is a natural forestallment of progression to manifest disease and is thus of great clinical interest. Experimental work in mice suggests that in immune-induced dormancy, the longer a cancer remains dormant in a host, the more resistant the cancer cells become to cytotoxic T-cell-mediated killing. In this work, mathematical models are used to analyse the possible causative mechanisms of cancer escape from immune-induced dormancy. Using a data-driven approach, both decaying efficacy in immune predation and immune recruitment are analysed with results suggesting that decline in recruitment is a stronger determinant of escape than increased resistance to predation. Using a mechanistic approach, the existence of an immune- resistant cancer cell subpopulation is considered, and the effects on cancer dormancy and potential immunoediting mechanisms of cancer escape are analysed and discussed. The immunoediting mechanism assumes that the immune system selectively prunes the cancer of immune-sensitive cells, which is shown to cause an initially heterogeneous population to become a more homogeneous, and more resistant, population. The fact that this selec- tion may result in the appearance of decreasing efficacy in T-cell cytotoxic effect with time in dormancy is also demonstrated. This work suggests that through actions that temporarily delay cancer growth through the targeted removal of immune-sensitive subpopulations, the immune response may actually progress the cancer to a more aggressive state.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks targeted therapy options. TNBC is enriched in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs), which play a key role in metastasis, chemoresistance, relapse and mortality. γδ T cells hold great potential in immunotherapy against cancer, and might be an alternative to target TNBC. γδ T cells are commonly observed to infiltrate solid tumors and have an extensive repertoire of tumor sensing, recognizing stress-induced molecules and phosphoantigens (pAgs) on transformed cells. We show that patient derived triple negative BCSCs are efficiently recognized and killed by ex vivo expanded γδ T cells from healthy donors. Orthotopically xenografted BCSCs, however, were refractory to γδ T cell immunotherapy. Mechanistically, we unraveled concerted differentiation and immune escape: xenografted BCSCs lost stemness, expression of γδ T cell ligands, adhesion molecules and pAgs, thereby evading immune recognition by γδ T cells. Indeed, neither pro-migratory engineered γδ T cells, nor anti-PD 1 checkpoint blockade significantly prolonged overall survival of tumor-bearing mice. BCSC immune escape was independent of the immune pressure exerted by the γδ T cells, and could be pharmacologically reverted by Zoledronate or IFN-α treatment. These results pave the way for novel combinatorial immunotherapies for TNBC.

Optimal control of acute myeloid leukaemia

Journal of Theoretical Biology 470 (2019) 30–42
Abstract:
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a blood cancer affecting haematopoietic stem cells. AML is routinely treated with chemotherapy, and so it is of great interest to develop optimal chemotherapy treatment strategies. In this work, we incorporate an immune response into a stem cell model of AML, since we find that previous models lacking an immune response are inappropriate for deriving optimal control strategies. Using optimal control theory, we produce continuous controls and bang-bang controls, corre- sponding to a range of objectives and parameter choices. Through example calculations, we provide a practical approach to applying optimal control using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. In particular, we describe and explore factors that have a profound influence on numerical convergence. We find that the convergence behaviour is sensitive to the method of control updating, the nature of the control, and to the relative weighting of terms in the objective function. All codes we use to implement optimal control are made available.

Project description:Mononuclear cells from AML patients (n=46) were sorted into CD34+ and CD34- subfractions and genome-wide expression analysis was performed using Illumina BeadChip Arrays (HT12 v3). Of 2 AML samples only the CD34+ fraction could be analyzed. AML CD34+ and CD34- gene expression was compared to a large group of normal CD34+ bone marrow cells (n=31). Mononuclear cells from AML patients (n=46) were sorted into CD34+ (46) and CD34- (44) subfractions and genome-wide expression analysis was performed using Illumina BeadChip Arrays (HT12 v3). AML CD34+ and CD34- gene expression was compared to a large group of normal CD34+ bone marrow cells (n=31).

Project description:Testis immune privilege is thought to be mediated by somatic cells. However, it is not strong enough to protect allogeneic spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) transplanted into the seminiferous tubules. Here we report successful production of allogeneic offspring by inducing PD-L1 in SSCs. Activation of self-renewal division induced PD-L1 and B7-H3 expression in cultured SSCs, which produced sperm after allogeneic transplantation. While B7-H3 depletion did not influence colonization, PD-L1 depletion prevented donor-derived spermatogenesis. PD-L1 expression was induced by BCL6B via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, suggesting that self-renewal stimulation confers immune privilege by ROS. In contrast, reduced ROS or Mapk14 deficiency downregulated PD-L1 expression. Allogeneic offspring were produced by SSC transplantation into congenitally infertile mice and busulfan-treated wild-type mice. Therefore, SSCs can escape rejection when their self-renewal division is stimulated.
