PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade harnesses monocyte-derived macrophages to combat cognitive impairment in a tauopathy mouse model

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disorder with multiple etiologies. Harnessing the immune system by blocking the programmed cell death receptor (PD)-1 pathway in an amyloid beta mouse model was shown to evoke a sequence of immune responses that lead to disease modification. Here, blocking PD-L1, a PD-1 ligand, was found to have similar efficacy to that of PD-1 blocking in disease modification, in both animal models of AD and of tauopathy. Targeting PD-L1 in a tau-driven disease model resulted in increased immunomodulatory monocyte-derived macrophages within the brain parenchyma. Single cell RNA-seq revealed that the homing macrophages expressed unique scavenger molecules including macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1), which was shown here to be required for the effect of PD-L1 blockade in disease modification. Overall, our results demonstrate that immune checkpoint blockade targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway leads to modification of common factors that go awry in AD and dementia, and thus can potentially provide an immunotherapy to help combat these diseases.

Expression data in PD-L1 positive and PD-L1 negative human melanoma samples

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.

Expression data from CD8 T cells from LCMV-Clone13 infected mice after two weeks of control or anti-PD-L1 treatment

Project description:Blocking PD-1 can reinvigorate exhausted CD8 T cells (TEX) and improve control of chronic infections and cancer. One potential advantage of this immunotherapy is durable protection if immune memory can be established. It is unclear, however, whether blocking PD-1 can reprogram TEX into effector (TEFF) or durable memory T cells (TMEM). Here, we found reinvigoration of TEX by PD-L1 blockade caused re-acquisition of some features of TEFF, but minimal memory development. We used microarray analysis to profile exhausted cells from anti-PD-L1 mice after two weeks of treatment to study if PD-L1 blockade caused re-acquistion of some feature of effector or memory cells.

High Response Rate to Anti PD-1 Therapy in Desmoplastic Melanoma

Project description:<p>Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of melanoma characterized by dense fibrous stroma, resistance to chemotherapy and a lack of actionable driver mutations, but is highly associated with ultraviolet light DNA damage. We analysed 60 patients with advanced DM treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blocking antibody therapy. Objective tumor responses were observed in 42 of the 60 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval 57-81%), including 19 patients (32% overall) with a complete response. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a high mutational load and frequent NF-1 mutations (14 out of 17 cases). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis from 19 DM and 13 non-DM revealed a higher percentage of PD-L1 positive cells in the tumor parenchyma in DM (p = 0.04), highly associated with increased CD8 density and PD-L1 expression in the tumor invasive margin. Therefore, patients with advanced DM derive significant clinical benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy despite being a cancer defined by its dense desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The benefit is likely derived from the high mutational burden and a frequent pre-existing adaptive immune response limited by PD-L1 expression.</p>

Blood-borne macrophages contribute to Alzheimer's disease modification through a TREM2-independent pathway

Project description:Microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are key players in coping with Alzheimer's disease (AD). In amyloidosis mouse models, activation of microglia was found to be TREM2-dependent. Here, using Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, we assessed whether MDM act via a TREM2-dependent pathway. We adopted a treatment protocol targeting the programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint, previously shown to modify AD via MDM involvement. Blocking PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice resulted in cognitive improvement and reduced levels of water-soluble amyloid beta (Aβ)1-42 with no effect on amyloid plaque burden. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed that MDM, derived from both Trem2-/- and Trem2+/+5xFAD mouse brains, express a unique set of genes encoding scavenger receptors (e.g. Mrc1, Msr1). Blocking monocytes trafficking using anti-CCR2 antibody completely abrogated the cognitive improvement induced by anti-PD-L1 in Trem2-/-5xFAD mice, and similarly but to lower extent in Trem2+/+5xFAD mice. These results highlight a TREM2-independent disease-modifying activity of MDM in amyloidosis mouse model.

Combined PD-L1/TGFb blockade allows expansion and differentiation of stem cell-like CD8 T cells in immune excluded tumors

Project description:TGFb signaling is a major pathway associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with advanced metastatic cancers and non-response to immune checkpoint blockade, particularly in the immune-excluded tumor phenotype. While previous pre-clinical studies demonstrated that converting tumors from an excluded to an inflamed phenotype and curative anti-tumor immunity require attenuation of both PD-L1 and TGFb signaling, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies suggest that stem cell-like CD8 T cells (TSCL) can differentiate into non-exhausted CD8 T effector cells that drive durable anti-tumor immunity. Here, we show that TGFb and PD-L1 restrain TSCL expansion as well as replacement of progenitor exhausted and dysfunctional CD8 T cells with non-exhausted IFNghi CD8 T effector cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Blockade of TGFb and PD-L1 generated IFNghi CD8 T effector cells with enhanced motility, enabling both their accumulation in the TME and increased interaction with other cell types. Ensuing IFNg signaling markedly transformed myeloid, stromal, and tumor niches to yield a broadly immune-supportive ecosystem. Blocking IFNg completely abolished the effect of anti-PD-L1/ TGFb combination therapy. Our data suggest that TGFb works in concert with PD-L1 to prevent TSCL expansion and replacement of exhausted CD8 T cells with fresh CD8 T effector cells, thereby maintaining the CD8 T cell compartment in a dysfunctional state.

Peptide ‘Nano-Spiderwebs’ for Cancer Immunotherapy: New Receptor-Engineered Supramolecular Antagonists to PD-L1

Project description:Immunol checkpoint blockade therapy targeting programmed-death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 can effectively prevent tumor immune escaping, and has been recognized with remarkable clinical benefits on cancer. Currently, antibody drugs take effect by blocking the target on the cell membrane. However, antibody drugs still face challenges in the aspect of deep penetration, multivalent recognition and chemical synthesis. Rationally designed targeting peptides is the befitting units for construction of the ‘nano antibody’. We first report herein a new peptide-AIE (aggregation-induced emission) hybrid supramolecular TPDP, which can specifically bind PD-L1 in vivo and in vitro with nanomolar affinity. It can be triggered by PD-L1 into ordered-aggregation ‘nano-spiderwebs’ and compactly cocoon the lesion surface and block PD-1/PD-L1 interaction on both membrane and cytoplasm in a dynamic manner, showing competitive effect over antibodies. It showed excellent in vivo tumor therapy effect in patient derived xenograft mice (PDX). What’s more, PD-L1 targeted antibody drugs take effect by blocking PD-L1 on the cell membrane, but intracellular PD-L1 are hard to be affect and like to be relocated on the membrane, which decreases the therapeutic benefits. In this study, the nano-spiderwebs could penetrate deeply into the cytoplasm and down-regulate the endogenous PD-L1 expression of the host, which could reduce the feedback of intracellular storage of PD-L1. We envision that this receptor-induced peptide ‘nano-spiderwebs’ will open an avenue for both blockade and inhibitor against PD-L1 and provide alternatives for targeting diagnostics and therapeutics towards this immune checkpoint.

Cytocidal Macrophages Cause Acute Diabetes following Checkpoint Blockade of PD-1 in NOD Mice

Project description:Blocking the action of the PD-1 protein in lymphocytes results in their activation leading to an effective immune response in cancers and in experimental viral infections. But such immunotherapy in clinical cases results in immune adverse effects among them the development of autoimmune diabetes. In the diabetes susceptible NOD mice, blockade of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway during the pre-diabetic stage results in severe and acute diabetes. Single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry analysis of islets following blockade of the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway identified a cascade of cellular interactions involving resident macrophages and diabetogenic T cells. Such reactions led to the recruitment of monocyte derived macrophages that caused diabetes. Elimination of the monocyte derived macrophages resulted in protection. The cytocidal activity was highly dependent on IFNγ signaling and the downstream release of nitric oxide by the monocyte derived macrophages. The activation of macrophages required both the participation of CD4 and CD8 T cells. Our studies call attention to macrophages as the major effector cell following blockade of PD-1. Targeting the monocyte-derived macrophage provides a new option to prevent and treat immune checkpoint blockade induced diabetes and perhaps other immune adverse reactions.

Tumor PD-L1 engages myeloid PD-1 to suppress type I interferon to impair cytotoxic T lymphocyte recruitment (bulk)

Project description:A hallmark of PD-1/L1 blockade is long-term, sustained remission of metastatic disease. How the immune system coordinates the destruction of macro- and micro-metastases following checkpoint blockade, however, remains unclear. Here, we show that tumor-expressed PD-L1 (tPD-L1) enhanced metastasis in a mechanism distinct from and independent of its role in primary tumor growth. This difference in metastatic growth was mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), however, tPD-L1 did not promote effector CTL exhaustion or suppress lytic activity in vivo. Instead, single cell RNA sequencing revealed that tPD-L1 engaged macrophage-expressed PD-1 to antagonize type I interferon production and signaling, creating an immunologically ‘cold’ microenvironment. Loss of tPD-L1 eliminated metastases by driving interferon-mediated sensitization of tumor cells to CTL lysis and CTL recruitment.

Soluble immune-checkpoint factors as a complementary biomarker for PD-1 blockade reflect exhaustion of antitumor immunity

Project description:BACKGROUND. Precise stratification of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is needed for appropriate application of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy. METHODS. We measured soluble (s) forms of the PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 in plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC before PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Prospective biomarker finding trial (cohort A), 50 patients with pretreated NSCLC received nivolumab. In cohort B to E, retrospective observational study, soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with any PD-1/PD-L1 blockade (cohort B and C), cytotoxic chemotherapy (D) or targeted therapy (E). Blood samples were obtained from all patients and soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated using a highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay. RESULTS. Nonresponsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy was associated with higher concentrations of these soluble immune factors among patients with immune-reactive (hot) tumors. Such correlation was not observed in patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Integrative analysis of tumor size, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue (tPD-L1), and gene expression in tumor tissue and peripheral CD8+ T cells revealed that high concentrations of the three soluble immune factors were associated with hyper or terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. The combination of sPD-L1 and sCTLA-4 efficiently discriminated responsiveness among patients with immune-reactive tumors. CONCLUSION. Combinations of soluble immune factors might be able to identify patients unlikely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a result of terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. Our data suggest such a combination might provide a biomarker complementary to tPD-L1 for NSCLC patients.
