PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells are marked by loss of CD28 expression and rescued by IL-15

ABSTRACT: Blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1) reinvigorates exhausted CD8+ T cells, resulting in tumor regression in cancer patients. Recently, reinvigoration of exhausted CD8+ T cells following PD-1 blockade was shown to be CD28-dependent in mouse models. Herein, we examined the role of CD28 in anti-PD-1-induced human T-cell reinvigoration using tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells (CD8+ TILs) obtained from non-small cell lung cancer patients. Single cell analysis demonstrated a distinct expression pattern of CD28 between mouse and human CD8+ TILs. Furthermore, we found that human CD28+CD8+, but not CD28–CD8+ TILs, responded to PD-1 blockade irrespective of B7/CD28 blockade, indicating that CD28 co-stimulation in human CD8+ TILs is dispensable for PD-1 blockade-induced reinvigoration, and loss of CD28 expression rather serve as a marker of anti-PD-1-unresponsive CD8+ TILs. Transcriptionally and phenotypically, PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs exhibited characteristics of terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells with low TCF1 expression. Notably, CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs had preserved machinery to respond to IL-15, and IL-15 treatment enhanced proliferation of CD28–PD-1+CD8+ TILs as well as CD28+PD-1+CD8+ TILs. Taken together, we demonstrate loss of CD28 expression as a marker of PD-1 blockade-unresponsive human CD8+ TILs with TCF1– signature and provide mechanistic insights into combining IL-15 with anti-PD-1.

Myeloid Niches Sustain Antitumor T Cells and License PD-1 Blockade via CD28 Costimulation

Project description:The local mechanisms regulating exhaustion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and responsiveness to PD-1 blockade remain partly elucidated. In human ovarian cancer we show that tumor-reactive intraepithelial (ie)CD8+ TILs engaged by antigen are polyfunctional and upregulate PD-1, which restrains their effectiveness. PD-1+ TILs exhibit a continuum of TCR-engaged/exhausted states with variable effector fitness related to CD28 costimulation, which they receive in intraepithelial niches involving myeloid antigen-presenting cells (mAPC). Following PD-1 blockade, activation of TILs requires CD28 costimulation mediated in situ by tumor mAPCs, which is locally enhanced by CTLA-4 blockade. CD40 ligand also amplifies TIL responses in situ, especially in tumors in which mAPCs are not activated. Thus, dysfunctional and exhausted TILs, in a state of TCR engagement but without proper CD28 costimulation by mAPCs in situ, are unlikely to fully benefit from PD-1 blockade.

Dual Relief of T-Lymphocyte Proliferation and Effector Function Underlies Response to PD-1 Blockade in Epithelial Malignancies

Project description:Although understanding of T-cell exhaustion is widely based on mouse models, its analysis in cancer patients could provide clues indicating tumor sensitivity to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Data suggests a role for costimulatory pathways, particularly CD28, in exhausted T-cell responsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Here, we used single-cell transcriptomic, phenotypic, and functional approaches to dissect the relation between CD8+ T-cell exhaustion, CD28 costimulation, and tumor specificity in head and neck, cervical, and ovarian cancers. We found that memory tumor-specific CD8+ T cells, but not bystander cells, sequentially express immune checkpoints once they infiltrate tumors leading, in situ, to a functionally exhausted population. Exhausted T cells were nonetheless endowed with effector and tumor residency potential but exhibited loss of the costimulatory receptor CD28 in comparison to their circulating memory counterparts. Accordingly, PD-1 inhibition improved proliferation of circulating tumor-specific CD8 T cells and reversed functional exhaustion of specific T cells at tumor sites. In agreement with their tumor specificity, high infiltration of tumors by exhausted cells was predictive of response to therapy and survival in ICB-treated head and neck cancer patients. Our results showed that PD-1 blockade–mediated proliferation/reinvigoration of circulating memory T cells and local reversion of exhaustion occur concurrently to control tumors.

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.

Defining memory-like CD8 T cells that respond to PD-1 therapy in chronic viral infection

Project description:Chronic viral infections are characterized by a state of CD8 T cell dysfunction termed exhaustion. A better understanding of the mechanisms that regulate CD8 T cell responses during chronic infection is required to improve immunotherapies that restore function in exhausted CD8 T cells. Here we identify a novel population of virus-specific CD8 T cells with a T follicular helper (Tfh)-like signature in mice chronically infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells expressed the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitory receptor but at the same time also expressed co-stimulatory molecules and had a gene signature that was related to CD8 T cell memory precursor cells and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). These Tfh-like CD8 T cells acted as stem cells during chronic infection undergoing self-renewal and also differentiating into the terminally exhausted CD8 T cells that were present in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. The Tfh-like CD8 T cells were found only in lymphoid tissues and resided predominantly in the T cell zones along with naÃ¯ve CD8 T cells. Interestingly, the proliferative burst after PD-1 blockade came almost exclusively from this Tfh-like CD8 T cell subset. Importantly, the transcription factor TCF1 played a cell intrinsic and essential role in the generation of Tfh-like CD8 T cells. Taken together, our study identifies Tfh-like CD8 T cells as the critical subset for maintaining the pool of virus-specific CD8 T cells during chronic infection and as the cells that proliferate after PD-1 blockade. These findings provide a better understanding of T cell exhaustion and have implications towards optimizing PD-1 directed immunotherapy. 8 samples isolated from CD8 T-cells in LCMV clone 13 GK1.5 infected mice (2 naÃ¯ve, 3 CXCR5+Tim3-, 3 CXCR5-Tim3+) cells were analyzed

Gene expression comparison of exhausted CD8 T cells that respond or do not respond to PD-1 blockade

Project description:CD8 T cells that respond to PD-1 blockade (during the early stage of infection) have enriched CD28 costimulation genes During the early stages of chronic infection PD-1 blockade is effective are rescuing exhausted CD8 T cells. However during the later stages of chronic infection PD-1 blockade is not able to induce a significant rescue of exhausted T cells. In order to understand the transcriptional basis of these difference we performed an RNA comparison. There is enrichment in several genes and pathways, and we hypothesize that these could be exploited for optimizing immune checkpoint therapies during the later stages of chronic infection.

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.

Comparison of gene expression profiles of Jurkat cells with or without PD-1 ligation

Project description:CD8+ T cells in chronic viral infections like HIV develop functional defects such as loss of IL-2 secretion and decreased proliferative potential that are collectively termed exhaustion1. Exhausted T cells express increased levels of multiple inhibitory receptors, such as Programmed Death 1 (PD-1). PD-1 inhibition contributes to impaired virus-specific T cell function in chronic infection because antibody-mediated blockade of its ligand, Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) is sufficient to improve T cell function and reduce viral replication in animal models. Reversing PD-1 inhibition is therefore an attractive therapeutic target, but the cellular mechanisms by which PD-1 ligation results in T cell inhibition are not fully understood. PD-1 is thought to limit T cell activation by attenuating T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. It is not known whether PD-1 ligation also acts by upregulating genes in exhausted T cells that impair their function. Here, we analyzed gene-expression profiles from HIV-specific CD8+ T cells in patients with HIV and show that PD-1 coordinately upregulates a program of genes in exhausted CD8+ T cells from humans and mice. This program includes upregulation of basic leucine transcription factor, ATF-like (BATF), a transcription factor in the AP-1 family. Enforced expression of BATF was sufficient to impair T cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, while BATF knockdown reduced PD-1 inhibition. Silencing BATF in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from chronic viremic patients rescued HIV-specific T cell function. Thus inhibitory receptors can cause T cell exhaustion by upregulating genes â such as BATF â that inhibit T cell function. PD-1 expressing Jurkat cells were cultured for 18 hours with beads coated with antibodies to CD3 and CD28, with our without an antibody to PD-1.

CD38-RyR2 axis mediated signaling impedes CD8+ T cell response to anti-PD1 therapy in cancer

Project description:PD-1 blockade therapy, harnessing the cytotoxic potential of CD8+ T cells, has yielded clinical success in treating malignancies. However, its efficacy is often limited due to the progressive differentiation of intratumoral CD8+ T cells into a hypofunctional state known as terminal exhaustion. Despite identifying CD8+ T cell subsets associated with immunotherapy resistance, the molecular pathway triggering the resistance remains elusive. Given the clear association of CD38 with CD8+ T cell subsets resistant to anti-PD1 therapy, we investigated its role in inducing resistance. Phenotypic and functional characterization, along with single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of both in vitro chronically stimulated and intratumoral CD8+ T cells, revealed that CD38-expressing CD8+ T cells are terminally exhausted. Exploring the molecular mechanism, we discovered that CD38 expression was crucial in promoting terminal differentiation of CD8+ T cells by suppressing TCF1 expression, thereby rendering them unresponsive to anti-PD1 therapy. Genetic ablation of CD38 in tumor reactive CD8+ T cells restored TCF1 levels and improved the responsiveness to anti-PD1 therapy in mice. Mechanistically, CD38 expression on exhausted CD8+ T cells elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels through RyR2 calcium channel activation. This, in turn, promoted chronic AKT activation, leading to TCF1 loss. Knockdown of RyR2 or inhibition of AKT in CD8+ T cells maintained TCF1 levels, induced a sustained anti-tumor response, and enhanced responsiveness to anti-PD1 therapy. Thus, targeting CD38 represents a potential strategy to improve the efficacy of anti-PD1 treatment in cancer.

A transcriptionally und functionally distinct PD-1+ CD8+ T cell pool with predictive potential in non-small cell lung cancer treated with PD-1 blockade

Project description:Evidence from mouse chronic viral infection models suggests that CD8+ T cell subsets characterized by distinct expression levels of the receptor PD-1 diverge in their state of exhaustion and potential for reinvigoration by PD-1 blockade. However, it remains unknown whether T cells in human cancer adopt a similar spectrum of exhausted states based on PD-1 expression levels. We compared transcriptional, metabolic, and functional signatures of intratumoral CD8+ T lymphocyte populations with high (PD-1T), intermediate (PD-1N) and no PD-1 expression (PD-1-) from non-small cell lung cancer patients. We observed that, PD-1T T cells show a markedly different transcriptional and metabolic profile as compared to PD-1N and PD-1- lymphocytes, as well as an intrinsically high capacity for tumor recognition. Furthermore, while PD-1T lymphocytes are impaired in classical effector cytokine production, they produce CXCL13 that mediates immune cell recruitment to tertiary lymphoid structures. Strikingly, the presence of PD-1T cells was strongly predictive for both response and survival in a small cohort of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with PD-1 blockade. The characterization of a distinct state of tumor-reactive, PD-1 bright lymphocytes in human cancer, which only partially resembles that seen in chronic infection, provides novel potential avenues for therapeutic intervention.
