Gene expression profiling of tumor-infiltrating CD45+CD8+ cells and CD45- tumor cells of tumor bearing mice treated with metformin or anti-PD-1 Ab or both

ABSTRACT: B16 Mouse melanoma cells (MO5) grow in syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. Anti-PD-1 Ab as an Immunecheck point inhibitor and/or metformin were administered on day 7 after tumor inoculation to mice. The tumor growth was decreased by either anti-PD-1 Ab or metformin treatment. Anti- tumor effect was more pronounced by the combination therapy of anti-PD-1 Ab and metformin. The mechanism underlying the superior effect of the combination therapy to mono-therapies were investigated by RNA sequencing of tumor infiltrating CD8+ cells (CD8TILs) and tumor cells. As a result, CD8TILs with the combination therapy was found to express IFNg and GzmB and to activate IRF1/8, STAT1/2, NFkB, TBX21. Moreover, tumor cells were found to activate IRF1/8, STAT1/2, NFkB, indicating that tumor cells sharply responded to IFNg produced from CD8TILs. The IFNg was also found to downregulate metabolism both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) of tumor cells, while it upregulates metabolism of CD8T cells. Collectively, the metabolic competition between CD8TILs and tumor cells was found to shift to the advantage of CD8TILs over tumor cells, resulting in the strong inhibition of tumor growth by the combination therapy of anti-PD-1 Ab and metformin.

ULK1 as a novel therapeutic target to enhance immune checkpoint therapies against melanoma

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the treatment of melanoma. However, the majority of patients have primary or acquired resistance to ICIs, limiting durable responses and patient survival. Interferon-gamma (IFNg) signaling and the expression of IFNg-stimulated genes correlate with either response or resistance to ICIs, in a context-dependent manner. While IFNg-inducible immunostimulatory genes are required for response to ICIs, chronic IFNg signaling induces the expression of immunosuppressive genes, promoting resistance to these therapies. Here, we show that high levels of ULK1 correlate with poor survival in melanoma patients and overexpression of ULK1 in melanoma cells enhances IFNg-induced expression of immunosuppressive genes, with minimal effects on the expression of immunostimulatory genes. In contrast, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 reduces expression of IFNg-induced immunosuppressive genes. ULK1 binds IRF1 in the nuclear compartment of melanoma cells, controlling its binding to the PD-L1 promoter region. Additionally, pharmacological inhibition of ULK1 in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy further reduces melanoma tumor growth and enhances anti-tumor immune responses in vivo. Our data suggest that targeting ULK1 represses IFNg-dependent immunosuppression. These findings support the combination of ULK1 drug-targeted inhibition with ICIs for the treatment of melanoma patients to improve response rates and patient outcomes.

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.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of CD45 positive immune cell Transcriptomes in four treated groups after hydrodynamic transfections

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptome profilings (RNA-seq) of CD45 positive immune cells in the control, polyIC, anti-PD-L1 and combination groups. Methods: All the CD45 positive immune cells of the mouse liver in control, polyIC, anti-PD-L1 and combination groups at day 24 were isolated, after hydrodynamic trasfection of c-Myc and N-ras at day 0. Then the mRNA profiles were generated by sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 4000. RNA-seq generated raw data were aligned to the GRCm38 mouse reference genome using Star program (2.3.0). Gene differential expression analysis was performed using Cuffdiff to obtain the expression levels of genes in each sample.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis was performed for pathway analysis online (software.broadinstitute.org/gsea). Results: By comparing to the control group, the number of differentially expressed genes and the overlaps in other groups were listed by Venn diagram. There were a total of 1654 differentially expressed genes specifically in the combination group. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of these 1654 genes demonstrated that the immune cells in the combination groups were particularly associated with adaptive and innate immune system and the progresses of antigen processing and presentations. The key genes involved in interferon-g (IFg) signaling pathway and some key genes, as indicators of anti-tumor cytotoxic function, were listed by heatmap. Conclusions: The RNA-seq data further confirmed that combination of polyIC and PD-L1 Ab dramatically enhanced the anti-tumor immunity in the liver, especially the adaptive immune response.

RNAseq of tumor samples from CT26 syngeneic mouse treated with a PD-L1 and CTLA-4 immunotherapy combination

Project description:The ability to modulate immune-inhibitory pathways using checkpoint blockade antibodies such as PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 represents a significant breakthrough in cancer therapy in recent years. This has driven interest in identifying small-molecule-immunotherapy combinations to increase the proportion of responses. Murine syngeneic models, which have a functional immune system, represent an essential tool for pre-clinical evaluation of new immunotherapies. However, immune response varies widely between models and the translational relevance of each model is not fully understood, making selection of an appropriate pre-clinical model for drug target validation challenging. Utilizing RNAseq transcriptomic profiling, we have characterised the changes in gene regulatory pathways and immune populations in CT26 mice after treatment with the combination of anti-PD-L1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies. At day 7 post tumor implant, the pathways analysis of differentially expressed genes indicated an enrichment for migration of leukocytes in response to inflammation and communication between innate and adaptive immune cells. Similarly, analysis of upstream regulators suggested that lipopolysaccharide, IL-1B, TNF, IFNG, and NFKB1A pathways associated with inflammation were activated. At day 14, pathways related T-helper cell signalling pathways were upregulated. In addition, upstream regulators of the lipopolysaccharide and IFNG pathway, as well STAT1 and IL21 pathway were enriched, indicative of innate and adaptive immune response to inflammation.

Unleashing natural IL-18 activity using an anti-IL-18BP blocker antibody induces potent immune stimulation and anti-tumor effects

Project description:Recombinant cytokines have limited anti-cancer efficacy mostly due to narrow therapeutic window and systemic adverse effects. IL-18 is an inflammasome induced proinflammatory cytokine that enhances T and NK cell activity and stimulates IFNg production. The activity of IL-18 is naturally blocked by a high affinity endogenous binding protein (IL-18BP). IL-18BP is induced in the tumor microenvironment (TME) in response to IFNg upregulation in a negative feedback mechanism. In this study we found that IL-18 is upregulated in the TME compared to the periphery across multiple human tumors and most of it is bound to IL-18BP. Bound IL-18 levels were largely above the amount required for T cell activation in vitro, implying that releasing IL-18 in the TME could lead to potent T cell immune activation. To restore the activity of endogenous IL-18 we generated COM503, a high affinity anti-IL-18BP antibody (Ab), that blocks the IL-18BP:IL-18 interaction and displaces pre-complexed IL-18 to enhance T cell and NK cell activation. In vivo, administration of a surrogate anti-IL-18BP Ab, either alone or in combination with anti-PD-L1 Ab, resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition and increased survival across multiple mouse tumor models. Moreover, anti-IL-18BP Ab induced pronounced TME-localized immune modulation including an increase in polyfunctional non-exhausted T and NK cell numbers and activation. In contrast, no increase in inflammatory cytokines and lymphocyte numbers or activation state was observed in serum and spleen. Taken together, blocking IL-18BP using an Ab is a promising novel approach to harness cytokine biology for the treatment of cancer.

Combined blockade of B7-H3 and CD47 immune checkpoints is a new therapeutic strategy for β-catenin driven melanomas [single cell CD45+ YUMM 2.1]

Project description:In melanoma, immune cell infiltration into the tumor is associated with better patient outcomes and response to immunotherapy. T cell non-inflamed tumors (‘cold tumors’) are associated with tumor cell intrinsic Wnt/β-catenin activation, and are resistant to anti-PD-1 alone or in combination with anti-CTLA-4 therapy. Reversal of the ‘cold tumor’ phenotype and identifying new effective immunotherapies are challenges in melanoma. In a well-established preclinical melanoma model driven by β-catenin, we found that immune checkpoint molecule B7-H3 confers a suppressive tumor microenvironment by modulating antiviral signals and matricellular proteins. Its inhibition primes the microenvironment, and together with blockade of the macrophage checkpoint CD47, but not with anti-PD-1, results in synergistic anti-tumor responses. This study brings B7-H3 to the forefront as inducing a suppressive microenvironment when overexpressed, and it’s co-targeting with CD47 as a novel combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors in melanoma that calls for testing in clinical trials.

Next Generation Sequencing of tumor tissue (4T1 cell) of BALB/c

Project description:Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), particularly programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1), has shown considerable clinical benefits in patients with various cancers. Many studies show that PD-L1 expression may be biomarkers to help select responders for anti-PD-1 treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that control PD-L1 expression. As a potential chemosensitizer and anticancer drug, copper combined with disulfiram (DSF) kills tumor cells by regulating multiple signaling pathways and transcription factors in vitro and in vivo. Here, we showed that DSF increased PD-L1 expression in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Through TCGA data analysis, we found that DNMT1 and IRF7 were highly expressed and the hypermethylation states in the IRF7 gene body promoter region in TNBC vs normal breast tissue (NBT). Then, we demonstrated that DSF affected PD-L1 expression via DNMT1-mediated IRF7 hypomethylation in two TNBC cell lines. In vivo experiments, DSF significantly enhanced the response to PD-1 antibody (Ab) in the triple-negative 4T1 BC mouse model. By analyzing the results of the tumor tissue sequencing, the DSF joint anti-PD-1 Ab could be a significant activation of anti-tumor immunity. And the inactive state of immune associated pathways was found to be reversed, such as Th1 and Th2 cell differentiation, antigen processing and presentation, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity and T cell receptor signal transduction. In conclusion, we found that DSF could up-regulate PD-L1 in TNBC cells and elucidated its mechanism. Our findings revealed that the combination of DSF and anti-PD-1 Ab could activate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) to show much better antitumor efficacy than monotherapy.

Systemically administered HMGN1 immunostimulatory peptide with anti-PD-L1 antibody exerts synergistic antitumor effects

Project description:In this study, we explore a new combination therapy of anti-PD-L1 antibody with an immunostimulatory peptide derived from an alarmin high mobility group nucleosome binding protein 1 (HMGN1). Combination treatement of HMGN1 immunostimulatory peptide with anti-PD-L1 antibody exerted robust anti-tumor effects in Colon26 subtaneous murine model. To understand transcriptomic differences of immune cell population in the tumor-bearing mice after treated with single-agent or combination therapy of HMGN1 with anti-PD-L1 antibody, we performed transcriptome analysis on tumor tissue using 5’end Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE)-sequencing with an Ion 540 Chef kit, an Ion 540 Chip kit, and an Ion S5 Sequencer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
